House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif shakes his head quickly and debates rather or not to fake the domination till it suits him better but as he watches the female drow attack the worm he quickly realizes that she going to get him killed long before then if he doesn’t act now.

Moving so that the drow is between him and the worm he bluntly speaks his mind as he pulls his bow and takes aim at the massive mouth, “I imagine that could be a fool hardy decision.”

Having already aimed he lets go of the arrow.

 

[Serpenteye]

The matron curses inwardly as she feels Kilcif break free on his compulsion, but shows no sign of it on her scarred features. Parts of her face have been partially consumed by acid, but other parts are as perfect and lovely as they were in life.
She looks once again at Torellan and answers him.
"You can control four, and each of them can control four and so on. As long as we keep those high up in the chain of command safe we should have no problems maintaining discipline."

 

[Uriel]

Kripp doesn't hesitate to hit the Worm again with another Flesh Ripper.

 

[Dalamar]

"I don't believe that the others would be strong enough to control as many as I am, Mother, I believe they can hold two at most.

 

[Serpenteye]

"It matters not, there will simply be more levels in the hierarchy, and since your kind are not easily killed most of the links will remain unbroken. Continue your work, son, we still have some time for preparations."

 

[Pyrex]

OOC: Are there enough skilled (i.e. 4+hd) warriors to actually continue creating vampires? The chain of command pretty much stops when you have a generation spawning Vampire Spawn instead of full-fledged Vampires.

 

[Endur]

The party of adventurers attack the mouth of the worm with ranged spells and arrows.

The gaping maw absorbs the wounds and triples its speed, bearing down upon the adventurers faster than they can flee.

Kripp is swallowed whole, while Carcelon and Kilcif narrowly dodge being devoured.

 

[Uriel]

Kripp is swallowed whole...

...

[Uriel]

Kripp desperately tries to blast his way out with the Fleshripper wand.

 

[Pyrex]

Carcelon's eyes flash with fury when the cowardly bodyguard hides behind her.

As it surges forward and devours Kripp, she runs back (120') to get some distance while drawing her crossbow.
