Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

[Festy_Dog]

Bhartus casts a Cure Light Wounds on Norri.

"Thanks Bhartus," he says with a grin.

"Be careful next time and stay close to us," says the dwarf. "You have much to learn, young 'un. Perhaps you should have stayed at home and baked muffins and cornbread like your ancestors."

Norri thinks for a moment before saying, "And miss out on this? Never! I'd never get to meet the likes of good people like you if hid away in a hole, Bhartus."

"Hey the wee man is tough like bull.. like Jericho! Onward wee man, onward!"

Norri gives a fancy little bow, and with a swish of the cloak Jericho bought him he advances carefully down the tunnel. He holds his torch in one hand and his crossbow in the other. [ooc: ready an action to drop the torch and fire the crossbow should we be attacked.]

"Evil around any corner..." he says softer, "make sure not to step in any...."

Norri chuckles.

[ooc: Good old Balder's Gate, Minsc was a champ ]

"I'll take the rear," Tarowyn says as he checks his gear, "so everybody make sure that you duck if you want me to be able to fire at any uglies."

The party begins its trek through the passage way. To most, the wall extend upwards into darkness.

Bhartus and Tarowyn: you are able to discern that the ceiling is infact about 60ft above your heads. You spy a pack of batlike creatures clinging to the ceiling after passing some 60ft.

After traversing a few dozen feet, several insect like-bats decend within the torchlight, their reddish-brown wings flapping rapidly.


Initiative: Strirges, Jericho, Tarowyn, Norri, Whitney, Bhartus.

The six creature buzz around Jericho, Bhartus, and Whitney before descending on them. Two land on the D'orite's neck. Both Bhartus and Whitney move quickly to be prevent a landing, but one lands on Bhartus' right hand and Whitney's hair.





Jericho is up. There are six stirges total. Two have attached themselves to Jericho, and one each on Bhartus and Whitney. Two more remain unattached, buzzing near the center of the party's line of march.

 

[Tokiwong]

"Ack get it off!" Jericho tries to crush one of the things that has attahed to him... "nasty things!"

 

[Krug]

Bhartus takes out his mace and strikes at the Strige on him.
"Off with you, bloody insect!"

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney tries to hit the one on her to dislodge it.
"Dratted pests!"

OOC: Can Mist help out?

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri spins about and fires at one of the flying stirges.

"I hate bugs!" he says.

 

[jasamcarl]

Jericho's slash causes one of the pests to loose its footing, but it quickly reattaches itself.

Tarowyn is up.

 

[Mirth]

Seeing the stirge alight in Whitney's hair, Tarowyn tries to grab the creature and stab it with his dagger.

 

[jasamcarl]

Tarowyn stabs at the creature, his silvered dagger glinting in the torchlight as he does so, only to be stained with green blood as the pest falls out of the now slightly discolored Lady's hair.

Norri's bolt lodges in one of the hovering creatures. It falls to the floor of the tunnel, next to Bhartus' feet.

Whitney is up. Yes you can use Mist. I need to know which weapon you are using and on which stirge. There are four left, one on Bhartus, two on Jerichio, and one hovering near over your head.

OOC: By the way, Norri is at full health. I see I forgot to post that.
