The music starts to play and everyone walks towards the gazebo in a fine mood.

buzzzzzz.....buzzzzzz....

As everyone nears they see they are coming in towards the rear of the festivities. A dancing area has been made up on the other side and the impromptu band plays along with their backs to the group for now.

buzzzzzz....buzzzzzzz.....

"What is that? It almost sounds like bees trying to sing." Firvin asks looking around but not seeing anything.

"I don't know, but... Ouch! Something bit me!" Toddy exclaims. "And now it's stuck to me!"

Halál moves quickly over and suddenly let's out a shout of his own. "AWWKKK!!Stirges!" the tengu shouts knowing the beast that is now clamped on his shoulder.

[sblock=OOC] Ouch is right. Touch attack vs Flat-footed AC (or 10 for whoever they attack). All rolls in above post. Needed to know before posting. Halál and Toddy both take 1 point CON dmg.

Giving a free monster know roll so you all know about the attached AC and grappling rules for them. INIT for the stirges is 14 if no one beats that they will drain CON again and it will be your turn anyway so no reason to wait for them to post.

Just roll your INIT and post your actions please. Sorting out the mess is my job, LOL.

OH and Firvin needs to make a Perform skill check please.[/sblock]

Toddy bites and claws back at the overgrown insect, scoring one hit, but not killing it.

Marshan draws a dagger and readies to attack one as it approaches.

[Maidhc O Casain]

Halál spends a few precious seconds flailing about in surprise before gathering his scattered wits and recognizing that he's been hit as well. He drops a dagger to hand from its wrist sheath and sets to killing the overgrown bloodsucker on his shoulder. He sends a quick prayer to Pharasma to guide his hand. His attempt to touch the stirge with his empty hand is a miserable failure . . . his hand thrashes the air but fails to find the foe. However, his patron answers his call and guides his dagger straight to the creature; the point pierces it's abdomen and he drives the blade home.

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna sees what looks like a giant mosquito trying to suck out Halál's blood and points a finger while her melodious voice calls out an arcane incantation, "Odulen an len eithad!"

The pin point of magic light zooms from her finger and slams into the little winged menace. She draws her dagger, just in case one of the creatures comes at her.

OCC: Sorry no map SK(another one of these short and sweet fights I think) there are only two stirges and both attached to someone. You may help Toddy if you wish on your characters turn, I think the other is handled.

 

[GlassEye]

Gregori looks around scowling as he tries to determine what direction the threat is coming from (because this is Ustalav, there's always a threat). Seeing the stirges and hearing Halal name them he glances at his longsword with more than a little doubt. Instead he draws out his throwing axe as he moves to assist Toddy and attacks the stirge attached to him.

"Stirges? These are Ustalavan Mosquito-Hawks!"

Combat Over!

WoW 6 seconds and done. Very efficient this group is.

Here is a game mechanics breakdown I will be sending the fluff to the IC thread in a minute.

Firvin casts magic missile (dmg=4) at Halál's critter.
Stirge drains blood from Halál. -2 CON total.
Stirge drains blood from Toddy. -2 CON total.
Halál finishes off the stirge on him (dmg=5).
Gergori steps up and kills Toddy's stirge (dmg=6).
Toddy claws the remains of the beast off his back.
Marshan watches for more but does not see any threats.

I rolled Firvin's perform check (rolled a 20 - my third in the past two days - very odd). Will add that info in the fluff if I can get EnWorld to act right.

OOC: I had put some distance between Marshan and Toddy while walking to the party, so I didn't feel appropriate to close and attack in the first round. Marshan also feels quite naked without his big weapons.

I once had a GM throw 22 stirges at us as a first level party. He thought that fight was "balanced". After that fight, before resting, we ran into a vampire spawn with minions. Didn't stay in his game long.

So the DC is 24 and you got a 22? How about an aid another to get that extra +2? I don't think Gregori can help with that...
