Heroes, Inc., Day 2: Goldenight

[Hypersmurf]

Once out on the street, how much can we see in the way of chaos, panic, and hellswarms?

Fin calls in his legions from alleys, rooftops, and drains, and casts a Speak With Animals.

"We hunt, children," he explains to the cats. "Beneath the streets, a dragon... stinks of evil, stinks of death. Search the dark places, and return to me wih news. Do not let it see you."

"Murdoch? Show us where you saw it. Once it starts to get crowded up here, we'll go beneath."

"This is why I like working in a team," Dyria commented, following the others. "Other people can do the thinking and the planning and the support stuff, leaving me to focus on the killing."

"Remember to leave some for the planners and supporters. We need the occasional stress relief," Alethia grins at the rather homicidal fighter.

That's a case of the pot calling the kettle sooty, the voice whispered through her mind, indicating her opinion of her new associate.

I am not homicidal. Psychotic maybe. But homicidal? You got the wrong lunatic. she retorted silently at the voice.

A whispery chuckle flickered through her mind. Lack of sleep. she thought, dismissing it.

"Murdoch? Show us where you saw it. Once it starts to get crowded up here, we'll go beneath."

Still hovering, Murdoch signals his companions to follow him. "The swarm seems to be vulnerable to my acid" he mentions. " Everyone, stay bundled so I can blast the swarms around us with my cone of acid."

 

[Ranger Rick]

Kaarlo lines up where instructed as his arrows are not good weapons against this swarm.

(Sorry about the slowness...work and fmaily problems are kicking my arse.)

As you move through the streets, you reach the area where you saw the dragon. Watchwizards are fighting the swarm, pelting it from a range from cover, but it is now moving, having already consumed everything caught within its boundaries. You notice that some entities caught in it are not turned into bugs, but instead turned into what appear to be bug-covered zombies of some sort. There is no sign of the dragon. Moving cats into the swarm would be a bad idea, but Murdoch can use repeated acid blasts to keep the manhole cover clear as the swarm is moving away from it to attack the Watchwizards.

Keeping a nervous eye on the swarm's flank, Murdoch blasts away to keep the manhole cover clear. He basically blasts one cone per round, non-stop. He'll occasionally blast other directions, to make shure the swarm doesn't flank them.
"If we want to move, now's the time to do it. "

 

[Ranger Rick]

Kaarlo gets close to Murdoch, keeping an eye open and gently letting him know when to aim away from the man hole and toward the flanks.

Moving cats into the swarm would be a bad idea...

OOC: Sorry, miscommunication - my intention was for the cats to enter the sewers and spread out immediately, before we travelled topside to Murdoch's manhole cover. So they'll be moving under the streets while we're moving above. /OOC

Arundel holds aloft the golden coin of Waukeen, calling upon Her power on Goldenight in an attempt to bolster Murdoch's space-clearing efforts.

Turn Undead. With his Divine Oracle levels, Arundel unfortunately only turns as a 5th level cleric, and with a Cha of 10, he's hardly optimised for Turning. But is is Waukeen's time... maybe she's feeling generous

"Let's do it, Dyria," Fin calls, streaking over to the manhole cover to open the tunnel for the others.

Timrin will move with the group staying toward the middle. He will have a turn attempt readied in case some of these swarms make it past Murdoch's blasts. He will remain above ground with Murdoch until everyone else is through.

OOC: Timrin's turn attempts are a little more potent than Arundel's. I turn as a Cleric 9 with a CHA 20. I also have 8 attempts per day.
