E1: Tomb of Chaos [Judge: Patlin] [Concluded]

[IcyCool]

Now knowing that seemingly innocuous objects could come alive and attack, Gorefoot remains near Percy and vigilant for any danger, though he is unsure from what direction it will come. His eyes dart at shadows, and everytime Percy reaches out to touch something, he has to swallow nervously.

She and Ishmael are in charge, they know what they are doing. But this place creeps me out.

 

[SlagMortar]

Once everyone is ready to go (which it would seem they are) and in proper formation behind him, Nars opens the next door.

 

[nimisgod]

Ishmael readies his shield and his hammer in preparation for this next entrance.

 

[Xael]

Nezrak keeps his bow at hand and ready while Nars opens the door.

OOC: Still here, sorry again.

 

[Erekose13]

Surprise!

Once everyone is ready Nars reaches out and opens the door.

[Surprise Round]

As he does so dim blue light begins to emanate from beneath the floor to his left, shining through the spaces between the stones. A pair of spectral hands reaches up and drags a ghostly form up through the floor. It is wreathed in the tatters of once-fine white robes, and hundreds of ghostly scorpions climb about its body. The spirit shouts, "Ye who would defile the memory of Toth Nekamek shall not be suffered to live!" in an ancient form of common. While it speaks, the spectral form materializes and lunges with outstretched hands. Its hands fail to grasp Nars.

From around it the scorpions also materialize and more en mass to envelope the front crew Nars, Rodimus, Ishmael, and Gorefoot. All feel the sting of the scorpion swarm, though all resist the poison as it tries to enter their systems.

"Bah, more bugs," Nars spits as he feels the tiny stings.
Nars attacks the creature with Felhunter while stepping back and drawing his last flask of alchemists fire.

[Round 1]

Nars smashes Felhunter into the wight, injuring the unnatural creature. He then steps back and to his left to get out of the swarm.

Rodimus brings his fists to bear on the wight and manages to hit once. He then steps away from the creature and back to his left as well to get out of the swarm.

Content to continue feasting on Ishmael and Gorefoot, the swarm does not move. The two stout warriors once again fight off the poison as the scorpions bite and pinch.

The wight tries again to hit Nars, but is still unsuccessful.

[nimisgod]

Ishmael moves to flank the undead monstrosity with one of his comrades and strikes as hard as he can with Violet. With little other options available to him, he'll continue this line of attack until his target is dead.

 

[Erekose13]

where'd all my players go?

 

[IcyCool]

where'd all my players go?

OOC: Gah! Sorry about that!

"Percy! Look out for the swarm!" Gorefoot tries to move his way up to the undead creature (flanking with Ishmael if possible) and brings his sword down in an overhead swing.

OOC: Assuming he makes the fort save, he'll move to flank with Ishmael and take a normal swing at the undead critter.
