OOC: Hello, how come only the low iniatives are posting? It's been nearly a week.
Heirs to the Burning Thrones
- Thread starter Isida Kep'Tukari
- Start date
*Tariq stabs his hand out, four flashes of flame leaping from them into the center of the sandpit, hoping to distract or disrupt whatever is inside. There seems to be some kind of low groan from deep underneath the sands. Suhayb dashes closer to Abdul, pulling his coil of rope from his backpack and preparing to throw it to the scout.*
*Shalah draws her ribbonblade, Twice-Cursed, and prepares to defend herself, should something attack while their attention is diverted. Cala gives a strange, spectral shout, and half-seen forms and whisps seem to swirl about the party, hovering protectively. Samira, seeing Shalah drawing her weapon, draws both of her own.*
*Abdul slips on the sands, having difficultly finding purchase on the moving ground. Despite this, he manages to draw Seif, the sword flashing in the moonlight. Omran shouts to Suhayb to tie the rope about his waist, while the gemchild holds the end, and runs to Suhayb to put his hasty plan in action. As the two guardians prepare to effect a rescue, the bottom of the sandpit opens up to reveal a gaping maw lined with teeth. Abdul recognizes it, as does Jibril. It's a dust digger, a creature that buries itself under the sand and then sucks down its unwitting prey. However, this is the biggest such creature you've ever seen or heard about. It's wide-flat body must be all around the sandpit.*
*Tarek smiles at the open maw, and with a flick of his fingers, sends a massive burst of electricity to seer the irrisistable target. Amazingly the creature seems to flatten itself further, making the sand take some of the blow, but it still seems scortched.*
*Jibril runs along the surface, the slope of the sandpit making for difficult movement, even in the air. He manages to reach Abdul, and readies his mind to shift them away from that dangerous place. Nafeesa moves a bit closer to the sandpit, though still safely away, ready to heal anyone that is harmed by the beast.*

Not waiting for everyone, it's been a week. Tariq casts magic missile for 11 points of damage. Suhayb advances, taking out his rope and preparing to cast it. Shalah draws her weapons. Cala casts bless. Samira draws her weapons. Abdul fails a Balance check, and draws Seif. Omran moves to join Suhayb and makes a plan. Tarek manifests an electrical energy ball, and amazingly the thing makes its save, and so only takes 11 points of damage (half of 22). Jibril double moves an is now at Abdul. Nafeesa moves up and readies an action.]

Nodding his thanks Abdul, attacks the beast with Seif. "We can't let this beast be a danger to travelers."
OOC: Power attack 3 Attack +16/+11 2d6 +15 damage crit 15-20.

*Emboldened by the success of his last volley of magic missiles, Tariq casts the spell a second time. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices that Suhayb is preparing to throw a rope, and moves closer to him, prepared to help pull Abdul out of the sandstorm.* “Never in all my travels have I seen something like this…”

*Nafeesa stand back in awe. She has never come across something so large as this. She was left stunned by her first sight of the creature, but now that she realizes the others are in trouble she moves closer to be of any help she can whether with weapon or healing magic.*

Jibril a'Mussan (Human, Windwalker)
"I couldn't agree more, most esteemed one," Jibril responded. "However, the creature's greatest asset is that it can catch one unaware . . . and I would not think that movement would be an asset for this creature. Therefore, if you would not mind, I would regroup back with the others and deal with this creature at a range. I can transport us both - please take my hand," Jibril explained.
OOC: If he does, then Jibril will dimension step with the both of them back to the others. Otherwise, he will blast the creature (Energy Ray [cold] +13 ranged touch 10d6+10 damage).

"You may attack at range, I and my brother are much better at close quarters. However you might wish too attach the rope, in case things get out of hand."

Samira looked at the others with doubtful and naive amber eyes, though she says nothing; preparing to defend herself if need be, her expression seems to suggest she would rather just move away and avoid the creature in its entirely, Theirs seems more than enough sand and dunes to travel though.

*Tariq lashes out again with five flashes of fire, further enraging the dust digger. That done, he goes and joins Omran with holding the rope that Suhayb is attached to. Anchored, Suhayb does a flying leap towards Abdul and Jibril. "Take my hand!" he calls. Shalah remains wary, Twice-Cursed drawn and ready.*
*Cala shouts a harsh word, a blot of inky blackness seeming to settle upon the dust digger. Samira remains with Shalah, her featherblades prepared to fight. Abdul braces himself on the whirling sands and stabs downward with Seif. The scimitar slices into the creature's hidden flesh, unleashing a gout of dark blood. Omran braces himself against the rope, shouting for the two in the sandpit to get out!*
*With a shudder, the dust digger suddenly begins to close the parts of its body rising out of the sands like a lotus petal and snapping together. Jibril and Abdul managed to throw themselves free, but Suhayb is trapped within. A faintly-herd shout reveals the creature is trying to eat him!*
*Tarek heaves his glowing blade in his hands and throws it at the creature like a javelin. With precision, it penetrates the dust-digger's hide. Jibril wastes no time in blasting the creature with a powerful lashing of arctic cold, the kind never seen in the desert. The creature shudders, and suddenly cracks into many frozen pieces, disgorging a bloodied Suhayb. Nafeesa runs forward, her hands glowing with healing energy. Within moments, she has healed the firetouched man of his injuries.*

*Watching all the chaos Nafeesa hears the shouts and such of those around her. She watch as one of the groups members is torn up by the shattered pieces of ice, suddenly instinct kicks and she runs to his side hand pulsing with the light of a healing spell. Nafeesa keeps her focus on the man till he is whole again.*
