Hollow's Last Hope [IC]

Voadam said:
"The first of three components we must gather, Elderwood Moss, that only grows on the eldest tree in a forest. Let us circle this great elder and see if it grows in the shade of the other side." Loricallior begins to circle the behemoth, his keen elven eyes searching the darkwood bark.

"Be wary! A site like this attracts powerful creatures. Druids, fey, mythic beasts, or things of a darker nature may call this place home." Jared looked to the foliage in the trees so nothing can drop on them.

"Mythic beasts? Sounds like just our cup o' tea! Still, best be a-keepin' an eye 'n an ear open for 'em." Jebbo draws his daggers, finding a comfortable grip. Carefully looking around the surrounding area and listening intently, he follows Loricallior, ready to defend his friend.

[sblock=OOC]OK, Spot check (-1) for, well, just about anything, with a Listen check (+1) to boot.[/sblock]
 


The party begins to cautiously approach the massive darkwood tree, alert to the possibility of dangers lurking nearby.

(Spot Checks, Loricallior Succeeds, all others fail.)

Loricallior suddenly sees something move near the base of the tree, concealed within the huge leaves and low-hanging branches! Just as the wild elf spots it, the creature bursts forth from cover hissing angrily. Slithering like a large snake, the creature has the head of a dragon and a pair of clawed arms to help it move along and grasp prey. A sickly green mist wafts from its open maw.

COMBAT, SURPRISE ROUND!

OOC: Cyryn will take the following actions:

Round 1 (1st round he can act) - Throw spear
Round 2 - draw short sword and begin flanking if possible
Round 3 - attack

Continue until beastie is dead! (or the situation changes!)
 

Loricallior shouts "Lasciarli! Il basamento da parte e noi saranno andati presto. Abbiamo bisogno dell'accesso all'albero e non possiamo lasciarli escluderli. Gli articoli la mia magia del drago e fuggiscono." draconic [sblock] Leave us! Stand aside and we will be gone soon. We need access to the tree and cannot let you bar us. Ware my dragon magic and flee.[/sblock]

Loricallior breathes a line of fire that intercepts the snake being but does not touch the Tree.

On his turn he will move to position to do so again without closing for melee.
 

Combat - Surprise Round

Loricallior shouts "Lasciarli! Il basamento da parte e noi saranno andati presto. Abbiamo bisogno dell'accesso all'albero e non possiamo lasciarli escluderli. Gli articoli la mia magia del drago e fuggiscono." Loricallior breathes a line of fire that intercepts the snake being but does not touch the Tree. The sinuous wyrm whips itself to the side, evading the full brunt of Loricallior's breath weapon, but it still hisses at the elf angrily as its scaly hide is burned. (Wyrm makes REF save, takes 2 points of damage.)

With no indication as to whether it can understand the wild elf's words, the wyrm launches itself with surprising speed at Loricallior, hissing viciously as it slithers across the ground. Its teeth and front claws savagely draw blood from the adept, then its long tail wraps tightly around him, holding him fast in a powerful, scaly embrace. (Wyrm charges Loricallior, pounces. Bite attack hits for 5 damage, one rake attack hits for 3 damage, one rake attack misses. Improved Grab: Wyrm gets a free grapple attempt with succesful bite. Touch attack hits, wyrm wins opposed grapple check. Loricallior succesfully grappled. Loricallior now has 4/12 hp, and is held by the wyrm.)

END SURPRISE ROUND

Round 1 Initiative Order

19: Loricallior (4/12 hp, grappled)
16: Cyryn
11: Hakkara
10: Jebbo
5: Wyrm-like Creature (-2 hp, grappling)
5: Jared

OOC: Unfortunately, I left my materials at home today, so I don't have the means to post a new map right now. I also don't remember the exact initiative scores (I rolled them up previously), hence the 'X's above. I am sure of my recollection that only Jared will act after the wyrm in the initative count, however, so the precise details won't matter much. I'll take actions for Round 1 from all of you (including revisions to what has already been posted). :)
edit: Fixed the initiative order with actual numbers now!

Grimacing, Hakkara charges the grappling wyrm. "Release our friend, or pay with your life!"

Not waiting for (or expecting) a response, Hakkara takes a swing at the strange creature.

[sblock=Hakkara, Round 1]
Hakkara (2H, no shield obviously) charges and attacks the Wyrm.

1. Charge attack (full-round action): 1d20+5=20
2. Damage roll (if necessary): 1d10+3=6 [/sblock]
 

"Ow!" Loricallior shouts out in pain as the beast draws blood and draws him into its embrace. Instead of struggling against the coils the elf draws on the supernatural magic of dragonfire and blasts the beastie from up close and directly into its face, again careful not to blast the Tree.
 

"Damn, damn, damn," Cyryn curses seeing Loricallior's predicament. Shifting his spear from a throwing position to a two-handed stabbing grip, he charges to his companion's aid.

OOC: Close and attack with spear.
