IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[michael_noah]

Boldak squirms a bit stating, "Not yet..." before recovering his senses and quickly rolling to his feet and retrieving his bow from his back, leaving his sword where it lies.

"Be steadfast!" he shouts as he takes one step toward the aberration.
[sblock=ooc]Stand from prone, draw bow, 5' step.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]To clarify, you all know where the thing is. It is only barely outside of the light, since it would still be in the light if it wasn't 20' up.[/sblock]

Breth walks 30 feet west and points a finger at it again.

[sblock=ooc]magic missile again[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Viktor takes another step forward, loads his crossbow, and fires again, hoping to get off a better shot than last time.
[sblock=ooc]same actions as last time[/sblock]

Squinting into the relative darkness, Alexis says "Light.... We need more light, it's getting away.

[sblock=ooc]Alexis delays until there's enough light to see the think clearly. Assuming she can see it before her next turn, she'll take her turn. She'll move 20 feet towards it and throw her javelin. +1 (within 30ft), 1d4+2 [/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As Boldak stands and readies himself and Alexis waits, Breth brings the light forward. With one final bolt of force, the aberration drops to the ground.

"Ah! Good job, man!" Boldak says in congratulation. "This thing could have done a number on us had one of us been caught alone, or had we all succumbed to its magic. Just goes to show that we're not all useless I guess."

The dwarf retrieves his sword and cautiously examines the rest of the hall as he makes his way up to the corner. There he uses the blade to pick up the thing, and barring any further discovery, discards it against the wall in one of the alcoves. He then continues searching the cairn, wary of more dangerous dungeon dwellers.

[sblock=OOC]How's that for alliteration, beyotches. Also, after he picks up his stuff, standard sneak procedure, moving up to the corner alone if the others let him.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Breth slumps slightly and merely nods to Boldak in acknowledgment. He then makes sure to stay plenty far back while the dwarf examines the hall. While he waits, he closely examines the nearest statue.

 

[o3caudata]

"Nice job everyone. Anyone know what that was? Viktor perhaps you've seen such things before?"

Not waiting for an answer Alexis puts her javelin away, and joins Breth in examining statues.

"It was a lurking strangler. They hang out in underground lairs such as this. Their eye rays are quite dangerous, and if one succumbs to them, they can quickly dispatch you. I'm sure you can guess how."
