D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil II

[Kobold Stew]

Carradoc heads north, towards the double doors.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Thaliss follows him, after Kubeba.

 

[Creamsteak]

This cavern has formations of flowstone, stalagmites, and stalactites everywhere. A stone building is anchored in the north wall, and a stone door stands in a masonry wall to the south. A natural gap in the cavern wall to the east reveals a chasm beyond. Numerous lifelike statues have been arranged among the rock formations. The statues depict creatures in poses suggesting shock, fear, or agony.

A single sentry stands at the read in this room, almost another statue. It's arms and armor seem covered in dust and stone, but it moves fluidly along with the armor.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Carradoc stands there, transfixed by the details of the statues. Are these larger-then-life? Regardless, the shape of the creature seen through the half-light reminds him of children's tales of creature that petrify with their gaze -- and he knew from his researches that such tales had a basis in reality.

How long, precisely had they been standing there? Could he in fact move? He tries to do so, and finds that he can. With a word, "zap" and a finger pointed at the shifting creature in the middle of the room, a bot of lightning courses from his hand towards it, briefly illuminating the dark room and causing the statues to cast long shadows on the floor and walls.

OOC: Lightning bolt: [roll0] lightning damage, dex save DC 17 for half. Spells remaining: 3/3/2/3/1 (cast: Mage Armor, Lightning bolt). No move.

 

[Creamsteak]

The lightning bolt crashes over the creature, though you can't tell if it was harmed.

Kubeba rages and the earthen armored creature clashes with him half-way between each other. Kubeba attack recklessly. The first attack deals half damage due to resistance (8 after), but also seems to shake off the creature's stone armor making it more vulnerable to the second attack (11).

After Kubeba's attack the creature immediately makes a single retaliating attack. This strike hits the barbarian for 3 after reduction. That was not the creature's turn though, nor a reaction.

Maighan and Carradoc can still act in the initial round, though the creature gets to take a legendary action after each of them.

 

[Kobold Stew]

[do you mean Maighan and Thaliss?]

 

[Creamsteak]

Yes. And apparently I edited your post instead of posting myself...

 

[Kobold Stew]

(I didn't know know you could. Huh.)

 

[Steve Gorak]

Thaliss takes a few steps back, and the concentrates. A moving mass of fluid mud seems to come from the ground, and surrounds the area where Carradoc and Maighan are, and extends forward five feet.

[sblock=ooc]
