IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]Is Kushnak just waiting for Erdolliel to come back, or is he following? If just waiting, do you care where? Nethezar will likely defer to Kushnak's choice, unless Erdolliel gives an opinion contrary to it.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak waits for Erdolliel to 'clear' the hallway. Once she's to the first door he'll move into the middle of the 'long' hallway and wait there while she clears the doors.

[sblock=oc] So yes they're waiting, 20' E ish of the door she's at now.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel finds no traps and easily picks the lock on the door.

Opening the door, she sees what appears to be a simple bedroom with two beds. Immediately inside the door are two... things standing in front of full-length mirrors. When she opens the door, they appear to be two humans. But once the door is open and the pair turns to Erdolliel, their shapes morph into the same alien-like creatures that had captured the group and tried to use the strange cube on them.

[sblock=OOC]Erdolliel finds no traps. Open lock: 18+ success.

I think everyone is equally surprised, so we'll just have initiative. Funny. Erd rolled a 20 and Kush rolled a 1.

Erdolliel (23)
2 (14)
1 (8)
Nethezar (7)
Kushnak (6)[/sblock]

"There's two of them and they CHANGE! FOR ESKARD!!!" Erdolleiel calls out to her companions while pointing at the foes.[sblock=oc]Move 5' NE then 20' E while yelling. Then fireball with point of origin just inside the door. That should mean that with the spread it won't reach Kushnak. 7d6 damage DC 17 reflex for half.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel yells as she moves. A burst of flame erupts at the entrance to the room and screaming follows.

One of the two creatures rushes out and crushes its hand on Kushnak's face, ripping a tear on the half-orc's cheek.

Nethezar pulls out his older wand and fires at the creature. Unfortunately, it isn't enough to bring it down.

The group can hear movement in the other rooms. You will have company soon.

[sblock=OOC]Erdolliel: moves; fireball, ref save: 1-1! fail, 2-18+ success, 23 damage and 11 damage
2: moves; attacks K, 19+ hit, 7 damage
1: 100, bleeds
Nethezar: crappy MM wand, 5 damage

Kushnak is next.

"You have no idea what you've done." Kushnak says flatly as lashes out at the creature standing in front of him.

[sblock=oc]Dodge on 2(ac:22) Full attack 2: +13/+8 dmg: 2d6+7 if he falls 5' step over him. otherwise stand ground.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel concentrates for a moment before stepping into the hallway.[sblock=oc]Cast Mage Armor, AC should be 17 then. dodge bonus on 2 unless he dies, in which case, dodge on the first other thing that gets close to me. take a 5' step back afterwards.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak cleaves the creature before him open and steps over its prone body.

Erdolliel surrounds herself with magical protection.

Two of the other rooms to the south fly open, and four more of these alien-like creatures rush out to do battle.

Nethezar catches one with his morningstar. Both the scholar and the half-orc take blows as well.

Nethezar looks at Erdolliel. "Some room to get 'round the other side?" he asks. With a loud grunt, he slams his weight into the creature before him, knocking it back a pace.

[sblock=OOC]Kushnak: attack 2, 12+ hit, 13 damage, drops
Erdolliel: mage armor
2: 55, bleeds
1: 61, bleeds
3: opens door; moves
4: moves; attacks K, 19+ hit, 5 damage
5: opens door; moves
Nethezar: AoO, 18+ hit, 7 damage
6: moves; attacks N, 4+ miss
Nethezar: bull rush 6
5 & 6: AoO, 18+ hit, 8+ miss, 2 damage
Nethezar: str checks, 20+ vs 19+, success

Kushnak is next. If Kushnak wanted to have finished 2 off with the second attack, we can consider 2 dead. I don't know what Ti meant by moving "back" so I didn't do anything. I also don't know whether Erdolliel actually has a melee weapon in-hand or not, so I didn't give her an AoO (on the basis that, in the past, I believe she more often uses the bow).

Erdolliel: mage armor

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=oc]*slaps self on head* "Get back into the GAME man!" *slaps a couple more times for emphasis* weaponless and staying put are perfectly acceptable. bow and sword are probably equally used, but I was doing a ton of wand and lockpicking stuff and really should have stated a weapon readiness.[/sblock]Erdolliel tumbles around her foes while drawing her sword. When she reaches a flanking position, she stabs into the thing in front of her.[sblock=oc]Tumble +13 SE, NE, SE (that should be 20 aka half her movement) while drawing her sword. DC of 15 for 5 and 17 for 6. Mobility makes her AC 21 for AoO's and I'll put her dodge bonus on 6.

When I get there... Attack #6 +8 1d8+2 Sneak Attack +4d6.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

[sblock=oc] f'ing enworld.[/sblock]

[sblock=oc]consider 2 dead[/sblock]

"Ha HA Ha...." Kushank laughs maniacally as he lashes out at one of the creatures.

[sblock=oc]Full attack (pa 2): +11/+6 2d6+11 Use second attack on 4 if 3 falls on the first. Either way, dodge on 4 and 5' step SE.[/sblock]
