Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

[GruTheWanderer]

Since this is a big threat, I'll wait for Amanu before replying. We may have lost Erenal as well. Novyet hasn't posted since Dec 17, when he said he was sick. I sent him an email to see what's up. Delta Squad may need some reinforcements soon.

I'm feeling awfully lonely, I thought this was a team and now it seems like a buddy film. Lethal Weapon III here we come!

Amanu's mystic chant unleashes a rain of needles to assault the hydra's body.

OOC: I fear that there's little else we can do for now, but fight it. In hindsight, I would have been better as a straight 5th level wizard of some sort. Oh well. Regrets...they're never far behind in times of danger.

Yes, Theryndil has no penalty to fire into this melee.

Amanu, don't sell yourself short. I think you have added a lot to the story, and the cyborg abilities have come in in interesting ways.

Theryndil's arrow hits the body of the creature (5 damage). Leopard fires two arrows from the other side, this time hitting one of the undamaged heads (7 damage).

Erenal executes a flurry of blows against the creature's body, failing to stun it but having an effect (17 damage). Amanu's spell also tears into the hydra's skin (15 damage).

Arramor casts cure serious wounds on Marcus, completely healing his squadmate. Reinvigorated, Marcus takes out one, and then another head with Cramp (15 damage twice).

The hydra changes tactics. This time several of the heads breathe an acidic cone which covers its three attackers. Marcus avoids the worst of the gas (8 damage), but Arramor and Erenal are hurt badly (17 damage each). Huge wings also unfold from its back, and it begins lifting off from the ground.

I should say, since neither of them are here, that Erenal is at 1 hp and Arramor is at 4.

Did the hydra provoke an attack of opportunity as in flew off? If so I'm taking it.

Regardless, Marcus will call out, "Spread out, take your shots - let's hope we've driven it off!" Marcus will use the wand of CLW on Arramor, if the opportunity presents itself, if not, Marcus will ready an action to charge and attack the creature if it gets within his charge range.

 

[perivas]

Amanu unleashes his last decent offensive spell in the form of the always popular magic missile at the fleeing beastie!

 

[GruTheWanderer]

It did not provoke an attack of opportunity yet, as it lifted about five feet off the ground. It is now out of Erenal's reach, although its tentacles and your chain will work fine.

Theryndil fires again, hitting the body (6 damage). Leopard continues to harrass the creature's heads, hitting one of them with an excellent shot (11 damage).

Amanu also stings the beast, as two magic missles streak through the island's vegetation to slam into the monster's side.

Erenal and Arramor back away from the flying monstrosity. Erenal imbibes a potion (6 healed) while Arramor casts a cure serious wounds (15 healed).

Marcus swings again with Cramp, blasting away a third head (16 damage). His follow-up attack misses.

The hydra responds with multiple bites. Marcus is torn by three of the heads (40 damage) and Erenal is hit by one (11 damage), dropping him into unconsciousness. As it rises another five feet into the air, its downdraft from its wings sends debris flying, blinding the three heroes on the ground below it.

 

[perivas]

A pistol shot rings out from Amanu's direction. The bullet speeds towards the monster's body!

 

[garyh]

Another shot twangs! from Theryndil's bow.

 

[Keia]

Marcus will grab Erenal if he is nearby and drag him back from the conflict, staying low to avoid the snapping heads of the hydra. If this does not look like an option, Marcus will snap Cramp out at the head that attack him, fighting defensively.
