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

[o3caudata]

Eskard lashes out again.

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

 

[Dichotomy]

As Kushnak stands up, the creature strikes him again. The cleric retaliates with a strong blow.

The creature wails on Eskard, dropping him. While the last attack against Kushnak misses, once again the flail of Hextor strikes him down.

Bazrim hits the creature with his alchemist fire, but it seems to be resistant to it.

Nethezar, with another prayer, brings Kushnak back to consciousness.

[sblock=ooc]This is funny. How hurt does it look?[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]It is not on death's door, so to speak, but it is seriously wounded.[/sblock]

Bazrim grabs a different looking flask from under his cloak and throws it at the beast.
[sblock=ooc]acid flask, +6 if both Eskard and Kushnak are still down, otherwise +2 1d6 acid damage. since I am aiming at the closest square, does the splash damage hit him 3 times, once or not at all?[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

"Kelanen help us..." Kushnak mumbles, raising himself up again.

[sblock=ooc]No PA this time. Maybe a crit would be nice? +10, 2d6+7[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak stands up, barely avoiding another blow. He strikes the creature. While the thing looks on the verge of death, the half-orc was not quite able to drop it.

The thing retaliates, dropping Kushnak again with a single hit. It then directs the flail of Hextor to attack Bazrim as the creature turns its attention to Nethezar.

Bazrim finds his acid to be just as useless as the alchemist fire.

With a look of horror on his face, Nethezar dares to try his magic missile wand one last time, presuming that, if the thing doesn't fall now, nothing will stop it. The bolts of force manage to pierce the creature's resistance and it is just enough to drop it.

Before the creature even hits the ground, Nethezar turns to Bazrim and furiously whispers, "Make some damned use of yourself and cut that thing's head off while I save the half-orcs' lives!" The cleric proceeds to administer healing to both downed warriors in turn.

"The Lord of Blades be praised! You managed it, Nethezar. Good work. Let's be rid of this thing and find a way out of here."

Kushnak wipes himself off and, after requesting that Nethezar heal him once, heals himself the rest of the way. He takes a moment to look over the beast to make what he can of it, stating, "You're going to have a lot more insight than I here..."

 

[Dichotomy]

"I could only speculate..." Nethezar pauses as if he is doing just that.
[sblock=worthley]Bazrim knows its an evil outsider of some kind, but knows little else. If he were pressed on it, he would guess that such a thing has never been observed before, at least he's never heard of anything remotely like it.[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Bazrim gives a glare to the cleric as he pulls out a dagger and begins to remove the head. "Like the 10 foot half-orc wasn't usefull?"
