Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Paxus Asclepius]

Belaver walks to the side, following Craven's directions, and looses a stone at the patch of darkness between the saucer-wide eyes. It's just a frog. Stay calm. Just a frog large enough to swallow a man whole. No worries. Neshi hisses after him, scales making a dry sussurrus against the gravel of the road.

 

[Xael]

"Oh dear...", Lylamwyn mumbles while readying and loading his crossbow.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Once Raner had pointed towards the monstrosity hidden beneath the surface, Lenya could see its eyes scanning for a new victim.

“Give him back!” she screams while her sudden anger materializes in form of a bolt of ghastly green flames, that shoots from her frantically gesturing hand and heads straight for the position, where she can barely make out the shape of the attacker.


OOC: That would be her action after taking a few steps back (~10 ft.). Frightful Blast (ranged touch attack +2(+3), damage 1d6(+1) (the numbers in parantheses apply, if still within 30 ft. (PBS)) + Will save DC 17 or become shaken).

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah looks disgusted at the giant frog and at his close miss, but swings energetically again. Giant frogs? That's ridiculous!

[rapier, +1 attack (Str), 1d6 + 1 Str damage, 18-20/x2, piercing]

 

[Endur]

Where did the Frog go?

Round 2
Initiative:
22: Redithidoor Halfmoon continues his song (everyone gets +1 to hit and damage)
20: Toriah scans the dark water of the creek (spot check 17+1=18). Toriah thinks he sees the location of the second splash, about twenty feet deeper into the creek. Toriah wades and swims toward where the Frog is now (swim check 18).
15: Kerwyn (spot check 11) does not see where the Frog went and is waiting until the Frog reappears to fire his crossbow.
15: Lenya (spot check 6-1=5) no longer sees where the Frog went and is waiting for someone to show her where the Frog went.
14: Craven thinks he saw where the Frog landed (spot check 17 +3 = 20, but Froggy is now completely submerged). Moving down the ditch into the water, Craven fires another arrow, Craven discovers he is still rusty with using the longbow (die roll 4, miss).
13: Giant Frog (if the Frog is where you think it is, it appears to do nothing)
12: Lylamwyn casts Light on a crossbow bolt.
11: Belaver and Neshi enter the creek, alongside Craven, looking for the Frog. Belaver and Neshi begin to swim (Belaver swim check 8).
8: Chat says, "I think its just sitting on the bottom of the creek, waiting for us to leave."
5: Raner draws a javelin and readies it.

Redithidoor's song

"In Darkest Night
Lack of Light
Shall Not Hinder Our Sight
Beware Our Might
Nierethi's Blight
Draws the Fight"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Ehlonna's winds!," Craven mutters as his shot goes wide. He tries to move closer and gives it another go. "Bring more light! I don't want to lose him if he jumps again!"

OOC - Moving forward as far as he can without submerging himself, then fire.

 

[Dalamar]

"Conjure some darn light, sorcerer! We need to be able to see it," Kerwyn says to Lylamwyn. If he does not currently see the threat, he tries to look for a good spot to hide to get the jump on it when he finally does. If he does curently see it, he fires his crossbow at it.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

“Where is it? Where did it go?”

Lenya waits (delay) for someone to show the way and then follows. If by any chance, she is able to make out the shape again, she will fire another bolt at it.

 

[Xael]

"I hear you.", Lylamwyn responds to Kerwyn's order. He casts Light at the bolt loaded at his crossbow, and takes it to his other hand.

 

[Pyrex]

Wary of moving any deeper into the water, Raner pulls one of his javelins from its case on his back and Readies to throw it at the frog should it show itself.
