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

[Dichotomy]

Eskard moves strategically closer and waits for the giant crocodile to close with him.

Erdolliel fires at the beast, but her aim is off.

Kushnak casts his spell, and a blade of force appears next to the croc and hacks into it.

Nethezar shrugs. "Worked before," he says as he flippantly shouts a word of power. The croc immediately starts thrashing its head to and fro. "Huh... I'd have never suspected."

[sblock=OOC]Yes, I've been treating this as a "slow moving area." In theory, I should've actually designated specific squares to be normal, shallow bog, and deep bog... but I thought that would be unnecessarily cumbersome.

Also, in light of Eskard's move and the croc's move, I'm presuming that Kushnak might have move someplace else. So, feel free to tell me where (I left him at original position for now).

ALSO, I realized I'm an idiot. The croc is HUGE not large. So, I did two things: 1) I changed it to "O" because it is easier to see which squares it occupies; 2) I fixed its original placement so that it would still not be able to attack Eskard this turn.

Eskard: moves; readies
Erdolliel: shoots O, 5+ miss
Crocodile: moves
Kushnak: moves; casts spiritual weapon, 13+ hit, 9 damage
Nethezar: casts blindness, fort save 4+ FAIL, O is blind

Bazrim lets forth three missles of force, similar to what's already been seen.
[sblock=ooc]MM from memorized to the croc.[/sblock]

Erdolliel fires again.[sblock]attack O +8 damage 1d8 +2[/sblock]

"Good show there. Too bad the thing chose us for food instead of the lizards."

Kushnak begins to back away and let the ranged attacks do their work.

 

[o3caudata]

Eskard giggles at the huge, thrashing crocodile and darts in for a quick strike.

[sblock=oc]Spring atk the croc: +11 / 2d6+7 And then straight back as far as i can get. sheath the sword on the way back.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

The two mages both unleash another flurry of missiles at the blind croc.

Laughing at the sight of the sightless croc, Eskard shows off his newly-learned agility as he makes a deft lunge in and leap out. The warrior carves a gaping wound in the croc's neck, and the beast collapses.

The spiritual sword makes quick work of the unconscious monstrosity.

Nethezar shrugs. "Good. Now we don't have to feel bad for the poor thing."
[sblock=OOC]Bazrim: mm O, 8 damage
Marzena: mm O, 9 damage (she wins again!)
Eskard: spring attacks O, 20! threat, 13+ crit, 20 damage (WEAK CRIT)... but it still dies

On a complete other note, I forgot to actually have her ask for her stuff back, but I assume that you guys gave Marzena her possessions.... right?[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Bazrim amused by the thought of having pitty for a blood thirsty beast gives a chuckle to Neth's statement. The grin remains on his face as he walks from the area and quite some time down the path.

 

[o3caudata]

Eskard's chucking stops flat as the spiritual weapon destroys the beast. He gives a snide look to the dwarf as he redraws his sword.

He immediately returns to his scouting for the correct path out of the marsh.

 

[michael_noah]

Non-plussed by the small encounter, Kushnak has a short look around for more danger before continuing.

[sblock=ooc]Anything interesting about the island? Giant mound of crocodile treasure on it?

Kushnak will return her stuff when she asks.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel performs a quick check to see if any other hapless victims left anything behind.[sblock=oc]search the area and the croc...[/sblock]
