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

[Dichotomy]

Eskard hacks into the nightmarish creature, opening a decent wound in its side.

Bazrim moves forward and begins casting his spell.

Nethezar thinks a moment, and, knowing what Bazrim is doing, pulls out his magic missile wand. The bolts of force fail to get by some innate resistance of the creature. Suddenly the image of the masked mage Eskard killed takes shape on the face of the monster. The spell's energy changes and slightly heals the thing's wounds. Nethezar gives a loud hurrumph.

Kushnak moves to get into flanking position.

The creature lashes out with teeth and claws at the two half-orcs. Each is struck once. The flail of Hextor again smashes into Kushnak, who is starting to look badly wounded.

"Some help, Nethezar?" calls Kushnak as he finally swings his sword at the beast.

Bazrim finishes casting his spell, looking up to see that his friend is now as big as his enemy, he grabs a scroll from it's case, and takes a step to better possition himself.
[sblock=ooc]5' step S draw scroll from case[/sblock]

As if awakened by the wound, Eskard shakes himself, repositions, and takes a mighty swing at the thing.

[sblock=oc]Atk 1(PA 3): +8 / 2d6+13[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Eskard swings, but he fails to connect this time.

Bazrim finishes his spell, and Eskard becomes large again. The mage steps forward and pulls out a scroll.

Nethezar nonchalantly shrugs and hustles around the other side of the elevator shaft.

Kushnak connects with a good hit, but the horrid creature is still going strong.

The thing again flings its claws and teeth at the half-orcs. Eskard gets smacked with two blows. Kushnak is wounded by a claw. The flail of Hextor, still attacking the cleric, deals him a horrible blow. Kushnak drops in a pool of blood.

Bazrim moves so he can get a clear shot at the enemy, and then sends forth a ray with the use of his scroll.
[sblock=ooc]move E, SE, S, cast ray of enfeeblement from scroll. +2 (after bless and -4 to hit) 1d6+1 str[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Eskard swings again.

[sblock=oc]Atk 1(PA 3): +8 / 3d6+14[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Meeting with frustration, Eskard again misses his foe.

Bazrim fires a ray of enfeeblement from his scroll. He manages to hit, but the creature seems to shrug off the spell. Once again the face of the masked mage appears briefly on the creature's visage as its wounds close slightly again.

"That's counterproductive," Nethezar intones as he hustles to Kushnak's side. With a prayer to Boccob, the scholarly cleric brings the half-orc back to consciousness.

Bazrim: moves; casts from scroll, ranged touch 17+ hit, CL check 12+ fail, 1 heals 2 hps

"Gah!" screams the usually calm Kushnak, bring his sword up in front of himself.

[sblock=ooc]Stand up, same attack. holy crap it hit me with a 6...[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Bazrim reaches under his cloak and pulls out a flask, and throws it at the giant beast. "Maybe only brute force works with this one."
