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

[michael_noah]

Kushnak grabs his holy symbol for a moment before pointing at the humanoids. At his bidding, a blade of force materializes next to them and attacks. He then prepares to further assault them by sheathing his sword.

[sblock=ooc]Cast Spiritual weapon. 4 rounds. +7 to hit, 1d8+1 damage. Attack the one that hasn't thrown a thing.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel and Eskard both get as good of positions as they can, though they are still not ideal, and draw their ranged weapons.

Bazrim tries, without success to break free of the goo that holds him fast.

Kushnak calls forth the weapon of his deity, which carves a chunk out of one of the humanoids.

Both of the humanoids fire in rapid succession at Bazrim. Three of the four shots hit, as the dwarf is a sitting duck. Fortunately, none of the three give him too great of a wound.

Nethezar shrugs his shoulders. "If the wizard can't wizard..." the cleric mumbles as he draws a wand from his belt. He points it at the same humanoid the spiritual weapon struck, and two bolts of force slam into it. The spell is not enough to drop the foe.
[sblock=OOC]Erdolliel: sheathes sword; moves and draws (I presumed you wanted to draw your bow now)
Eskard: sheathes sword; moves and draws
Bazrim: (I'm going to assume by your post that you are attempting to break free using a STR check, rather than attacking the goo; if that is incorrect, please be more explicit) STR 4- fail
Kushnak: casts; sheathes sword
Spiritual Weapon: attacks 2, 14+ hit, 6 damage
1: rapid shoots B, 15+ hit, 3 damage, 8+ hit 3 damage
2: rapid shoots B, 1! miss, 11+ hit 4 damage
Nethezar: draws wand; magic missle 2, 9 damage

The spell is unclear, but I would conclude that a Spiritual Weapon doesn't get AoOs. (I'm basing that on the text that "It does not get a flanknig bonus or help a combatant get one.") If there is some clarification contrary to my conclusion, please let me know.

Status & Init:
Erdolliel (17): 2 damage
Eskard (15): 3 damage
Bazrim (slower 15): 10 damage; climbing, entangled, and stuck (per tanglefoot bag; not to the floor, but still can't move)
Kushnak (13):
Spiritual Weapon: 3 rounds remain
1 (11):
2 (10): 15 damage
Nethezar (9)[/sblock]

Kushnak draws his crossbow and attempts to get a shot off at the things.

[sblock=ooc]Correct on the spiritual weapon, I'm pretty sure I've read that somewhere.

+5, 1d10 with the crossbow.

Move to get to where I can see one and shoot it. Let the weapon attack first (same guy as before). Shoot that guy if he's not dropped, or the other one if that's not the case (or not possible).

If I can't see either after move-drawing, move more.[/sblock]

Eskard lets loose an arrow at the unwounded foe.

[sblock=oc]Same move things as Kushnak,Atk #1: +7 d8+4 Dodge against #1[/sblock]

Bazrim begins to spout off curses in draconic to the humainoids that shot him, spitting blood at the one that struck him with the tanglefoot bag as he works on breaking free of the goo that has him trapped on the rope.
[sblock=ooc] continue to work on getting unstuck and make str checks as needed. Then, if I am eventually able to, move down the rope. I am sorry for not taking a lot of time paying attention today. I had a lot of stuff to do in a short amount of time at work.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel lets loose an arrow at the wounded foe.[sblock=oc]If it looks like I can get a better shot in one move do so, otherwise just shoot it. atk #2: +5 d8+2. Dodge against #1[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As Bazrim struggles unsuccessfully to free himself, the two half-orcs and the elf all shoot the enemies. All three missles fail to make their mark. Fortunately, Kushnak's spiritual sword helps.

As the goo from the tanglefoot bag dries, becomes brittle, and falls off the dwarf, the humanoid flings a fresh bag at Bazrim. Once again the wizard is stuck on his rope.

The second of the foes can't seem to get a decent aim with his succession of shots this time.

Two missles of force streak from Nethezar's wand again. This time, the wounded humanoid falls bleeding.
[sblock=OOC]For the three of you on the bottom, there's really nothing you can do to avoid cover here, so, largely, your movement is moot.

Erdolliel: shoots 2, 9+ miss
Eskard: shoots 1, 15+ miss
Bazrim: STR check 10+ fail
Spiritual weapon: attacks 2, 14+ hit, 8 damage
Kushnak: shoots 2, 2+ miss
Tanglefoot bag on B stops working
1: draws and throws tanglefoot bag at B, 14+ hit, ref save 8+ fail, B is entangled and stuck anew
2: rapid shoots B, 7+ miss, 6+ miss (lucky you)
Nethezar: wands 2, 8 damage, drops

Status & Init:

"For the sake of Pete! Scrape the damn stuff off of you!" The elf yells at the mage. Taking aim at the unwounded creature, she mutters, "And you! Why don't you just die!"[sblock=oc]same as before, well sans movement[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

Kushnak looks above and sees the injured mage hanging by what ails him. In order to remedy the situation, while the spirit of Kelanen continues to harass the humanoids, he 'scampers' back up the rope and does what he can to protect his companion.

[sblock=ooc]Try to climb 10' up the rope. If I don't make the check, shoot (actually reload). If I make it, cast obscuring mist from the top, centered on my "upper right" corner. I think that'll give total concealment to B.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Eskard grits his teeth, draws another arrow and fires again.

[sblock=oc]Shoot again. No moving needed.[/sblock]
