Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[reapersaurus]

OOC: let's see if this works..

Ubaar notices Jalon looking at the ghoul in front of him, and in his battle-drenched state of mind, whoever you're looking at is who you attack (no poofty Bluffing or "Flick of the Wrist"ing for THIS hardened straight-up warrior) and therefore yells out to Jalon :
"Jalon! Take the ghoul that's in front of Kytess!
We can't give them another open shot while she's stunned!
I'LL take this one in front of you." he finishes with a snarl that bodes much pain for said ghoul. (If they could feel pain, that is )

OOC: This will hopefully free up Taz and Kytess to only have one ghoul on their side and leave the 2 ghouls on Ubaar's side so he'll take the brunt of their claws and poison. If Jalon doesn't react to his battle-talk in time, Ubaar will instead swing at the ghoul in front of Ubaar.

 

[Taz]

“Kytess!!!”

Taz takes a step backwards away from the ghouls and casts her Shield spell now.

In halfling she then says loudly: “Sollir, attack them with your bow!”

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Jalon! Take the ghoul that's in front of Kytess!

Hearing Ubaar's advice, Jalon switches target, and instead attacks the ghoul directly in front of Kytess.

 

[HeavyG]

Nocking an arrow to his massive bow, Ivellios aims at the large spider above his head. The arrow strikes the spider’s tough body square-on. The elf is already nocking another arrow as the undead priest casts another spell, which Ubaar and Sollir identify as a Bane spell (9-5=4 damage)

“Paralyze them my pretties ! They will make a fine sacrifice for the Dark God !” it shouts out.

(The Bane spell dispels Sollir’s bless spell)

'Kytess - no!-

Dismayed at his lack of swordsmanship, and subsequently enraged by the heinous blow Kytess has recieved, Jalon draws his wand in preperation to inspect the young warrior's wounds.

The priest continues to fend off the ghouls with his longsword whilst retrieving the small silver wand from his belt.

'In Tyr's name you shall pay for that, fiend!'

Ubaar notices Jalon looking at the ghoul in front of him, and in his battle-drenched state of mind, whoever you're looking at is who you attack and therefore yells out to Jalon :
"Jalon! Take the ghoul that's in front of Kytess!
We can't give them another open shot while she's stunned!
I'LL take this one in front of you." he finishes with a snarl that bodes much pain for said ghoul. (If they could feel pain, that is )

Hearing Ubaar's advice, Jalon switches target, and instead attacks the ghoul directly in front of Kytess.

The blow takes the ghoul in the shoulder, cutting deeply and making it’s arm hang uselessly. He then draws his wand as the ghoul counterattacks him. (9 points of damage)

Then, the spider shoots a spray of webs at Ivellios. The elf is entangled by the strands, which will make it hard but not impossible to shoot his bow. But then the spider starts descending towards the elf, sure that the other party members are too occupied to help him.

Murhid steps quickly to the next opponent and tries best to dismiss it.

The monk attacks the next ghoul and punches him. The ghoul rolls with the blow and it doesn’t do much damage. And then Ubaar strikes at Jalon’s ghoul, intent on finishing it, but the ghoul dodges out of the clumsy blow’s way. (3 damage for Murhid, a 2 on the attack roll for Ubaar.)

“Kytess!!!”

Taz takes a step backwards away from the ghouls and casts her Shield spell now.

In halfling she then says loudly: “Sollir, attack them with your bow!”

With some arcane words and a hand wave, the magical shield invisibly falls into place as Sollir takes Taz’s advice and, after moving past the stone table and shoots an arrow at the nearest ghoul. The arrow takes the ghoul in the throat, ripping a large part out. (9 points of damage)

Meanwhile, the mostly wounded ghouls have been busy. Murhid got clawed on his arm, and Jalon and Ubaar got a scratch each too. Jalon and Ubaar’s wounds are starting to cramp up and their movement are getting sluggisher from the poison. (Murhid got 3 damage, Ubaar 2, Jalon 3, poison from last round did 2 points dex damage to Ubaar and 3 to Jalon)

[HeavyG]

Reaper - By my count, you've had 7 or 8 rounds or rage so far. Since I should've run a counter in the status part of my posts, I'll give you another round.

 

[Taz]

Taz tumbles over the square, Kytess is lying in, past the ghoul threatening her to N13, turning her Shield to face into the direction of the ghouls, then attacks the ghoul between her and Jalon with her dagger.

 

[Murhid]

Murhid recoils from the clawing with a slight intoxication; his vision goes blurry for a second. With a mixture of excitement and fear he screams at the ghoul in front of him and then attempts to destroy it, with what ever he has left.
[Flurry of Blows]

 

[reapersaurus]

Seeing Murhid GOING OFF on the ghoul, Ubaar roars in exquisite rage with the last of his frenzy - "MUUUURRRRHHHHIIIID!
Ubaar see a Thunderbeast in you yet!

Uthgar - you catchin' any of this?" the barbarian half-orc from the North says to noone in particular...
"There be some good battlin' goin on, it's a shame if you miss it!" he finishes as he tries to hack the ghoul who dodged him last round.

"Let's see you dodge THIS one, brain-eater!"

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

We have to get rid of the boss, but right now, Kytess is in trouble! The halfling thinks to himself, moving along his destination while unloading two arrows upon the ghoul infront of Kytess.

(5 ft. step to O13, Full round action, 2 masterwork arrows at the ghoul attacking Kytess)

(Yay ! I can access the boards again ! Update tonite for everyone !)

Edit : There. All done.

I'll be out of town for two days, so see you tuesday night.
