Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[HeavyG]

Meaning to help, Kytess moves forward, managing to keep her balance on the bone-strewn floor, and ends up besides Taz to cover her with her chain. She attacks the thing with her chain and hits it solidly, but the chain doesn’t score great wounds on the creature’s bony surface. (OOC : Charge then a hit for 9 damage rolled but less than that was scored.)

Then, the creature steps forward and opens up on Taz. Its tail comes forward but glances on the halfling’s invisible shield. Then, it tries to claw at her with its hard, sharp boney hands, but the shield protects her well and one finds a way around it and slashes Taz on the arm. The pain is intense. (6 points of damage)

Then, the halfling runs away, clutching at her arm. The monster tries to stab at her again as she turns her back, but its stinger is deflected by her shield once again.

“Ouch!”

Taz further backs away to get near Jalon, who will hopefully invoke some healing upon her, so she can rejoin the battle and let the creature taste the halfling's sting!

"Taz - that looked like it hurt!
Get back with da others - Ubaar'll hold this devil back!

*to Taz* (by the way, does it have poison like da imps did?
Dat HURT!)"

“I'm fine... ugh... Kill that thing!”

Ubaar blocks the creature’s path to prevent it from running after his teammate. With a war cry, he slashes at it. His blow is so-so, but the creature seems really easy to hit. However, it isn’t affected as much as a normal creature by the blow because it’s made of bones. (14 damage, but it only gets 7 points of those)

Jalon moves in a brisk walk towards the combat between Taz, Ubaar and the creature. The priest carefully tucks his magical torch into his belt, retrieving his wand of Cure Light Wounds in preparation for the injuries the party may sustain in this combat.

Jalon moves to N9 (Damn this heavy armour!)

Jalon meets Taz halfway along the hall and touches her with his wand. Her arm wound closes mostly, stopping the flow of blood. (4 points of healing)

"You think this one will die from our mortal weapons, or not, like the imps?"
Murhid then brings forth once again his silvered shurikens."Maybe Oneself can poke his eyes out!" He says grimly, then takes a few steps forward, trying not to impede those with 'gods' on their side.

Murhid steps forward.

"I'll soon find out if my blades can harm it or not."

Ivellios shouts, "For Corellon!!"

With both swords in hand, the elf charges down the corridor.

Reaching the beast he takes a swipe at it using his longsword.

The blow is a solid hit. However, like Kytess and Ubaar, it doesn’t do as much damage as normal on the bony surface. (11 damage, reduced to 5)

Sollir looks at the situation, wondering what to do.

Then, the door just besides Murhid and the one just behind Jalon both open revealing small cells and 2 large boney humanoids step out. They still emit no sound except the sound of bone on stone as they step forward.

[CRGreathouse]

Edit: I was going to post my move, but HeavyG predicted it. Here's my next one:

Kytess, failing to see an opening on the creature she was fighting, rushes to Murhid's side to attack that monster. (Charge, Power Attack for 1)

 

[HeavyG]

OOC: I'd check the Rogue's Gallery, since we all should have one more level of hp's, right? (since we're all level 3 now)

OOC:

OOC: Of course. *slaps forehead* For example, Ubaar got up to 14 hps with his and Sollir's healing. Then he levelled up as a cleric, and gets 7 more hp's, right? (14 CON) So he should be at 21 of 28 possible. (still has 2 points of DEX damage, of course) He has a Create Water spell left, and after this MW, just the Thunderstomp left (and 2 more rages) Okay, but since I have no idea about exactly how much healing the others had since the last status AND I have no intention to wade through 5-6 pages of posts, I'll just give everyone full hit points instead.

 

[Taz]

Taz wants full hit points, too! That is... 19-10+4=13 right now!

Shield is currently facing southwards (towards the first bone-thing) and should therefore protect against #3. When her initiative comes up, Taz will tumble to N6 and stab at #2, altho this won't do much.

 

[HeavyG]

Taz wants full hit points, too! That is... 19-10+4=13 right now!

What about the 6 points of damage from that claw last round, mmh ?

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Jalon once more channels the divine power of Tyr through his small silver wand, administering to Taz's wounds.

'By Tyr's name! More of the infernal beasts - Be on your guard!'

[OOC: I wish I had a few more spells left - even Magic Weapon would help a little. Ah well, I guess Jalon can keep playing the role of medic.]

 

[Doppleganger]

"What folly is this? This beast's body is as hard as a rock."

The elf takes a step forward beside the creature as he continues to slash at it, this time using both blades in a flurry of swings.

"Alright Ubaar, it's just you and me. We've gotta take down Mr.Bones here A.S.A.P. so we can get back up to help the others."

(OOC Move to N-16)

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Sollir scuttles forward to join the group, then sighs. "Gosh, more dead thingies..." He shoots a single arrow from his bow then, hoping that it will damage the creature.

(Single, normal arrow)

 

[Murhid]

Murhid with his guard up starts with the entrance of the new foe, and tries best to defend himself from it, then attempts to swing a right hook into its face, followed by a kick to get it back into its 'cell'.

[OOC: A Flurry of Blows and 1 Stunning Attack, not sure about the boxing term... hope that sounded ok]

 

[Taz]

What about the 6 points of damage from that claw last round, mmh ?

OOC: Oops! Havn't seen that! You're right then, of course!
