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

[o3caudata]

Kushnak attempts drags his entangled foe over the ledge.

[sblock=oc]Move #1 5' W and as 'up' as possible. Grapple +13

I intend to drop him, but i'm not clear on how that'd work. It'll either be some kind of strength/climb check by the guy to 'hold on' or grapple check(next turn i think, since move says it's a standard action).

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel lashes out at her opponent.[sblock=oc]I get 2 attacks... dodge bonus on 3 and attack 3 with longsword +9/+4 1d8+3 if she ends up dropping 3 dodge bonus on 2[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Kushnak hoists the drow into the air and carries him over the edge of the shelf.

Erdolliel cuts into the drow near her, but only connects with one of the blows.

Nethezar begins orating an inspirational message about stalwart resolve, and the trio feels that resolve reverberate within themselves.

The three drow try to attack. The first drow simply hangs on for fear of falling. The other two stab at Erdolliel with their rapiers. While one misses, the other sinks its blade into the elf's arm.

On the ground below Kushnak, the fuel has finally burnt out, and the flames die away.

[sblock=OOC]While, plainly, the guy doesn't want to be grappling with Kushnak, technically, you are grappling each other (not merely Kushnak grappling with him). So, I think that means that Kushnak needs to use this round to move, and then would need to make an "escape" grapple check to drop him next round. Make sense?

Kushnak: attempts to move, 7+ v. 8+, success; K and 1 are 20 feet off the ground
Erdolliel: dodge 3; attacks 3, 16+, miss chance 87, hit, 8 damage; attacks 3, 7+ miss
Nethezar: inspire courage +2
1: tries to damage K, 10+ v. 8+ fail
2: drop x-bow; draws rapier; step; attacks E, 7+ miss
3: attacks E, 13+, miss chance 49, hit, 10 damage

Status & Initiative
Kushnak: fly
Erdolliel: fly, 10 damage
Nethezar:
1: 7 nonlethal
2:
3: 8 damage

Party: prayer 7 rounds left, inspire courage[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel slashes at a drow before stepping out of reach.[sblock=oc]Attack 3 with longsword +9/+4 1d8+3 if she ends up dropping 3 dodge bonus on 2. Step 5' U and N which should put me 10' above the drow.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak growls with frustration as the fire dies out before moving back toward the ledge.

[sblock=oc]
I don't know that he can really resist me moving him in the air? I dunno. My best case is, move him back, grapple check to drop #1 and attack him with sword.(as odd as it sounds, i didn't see anything to indicate i had to let go of my 6' sword to grapple the guy? really?)

So, if i can freely move him, do so, otherwise grapple check +13. (5' west will do)

Then drop him on the platform, again grapple +13.

If i can still attack, atk #1 +20(IC +2 & height adv) 2d6+10.

(in the event that i don't have my sword, i'd like to retrieve it, or be next to it to retrieve this round if possible)

And if anything fails i'll just try to get as far in that chain.

[Dichotomy]

With the fire out, Kushnak moves back to the ledge, drops the drow (who puts up no struggle to being released), and then hacks into him. The draw screams as Kushnak's sword nearly takes his arm off.

Erdolliel swings at the drow near her, but between misplaced aim and the shadowy illumination, the elf fails to connect.

Unable to reach the battle, Nethezar gets closer and continues his oration.

The first drow quickly draws his rapier to defend himself, but in his haste, he simply stabs Kushnak right in the breastplate, which harmlessly deflects the blow.

The second drow pulls out a flask and flings it at Erdolliel. Upon contact, the glass shatters and bursts into flame, searing the elf's skin.

The final drow pulls out a bag and whips it at Kushnak. The bag, however, doesn't come even close to the half-orc. The tanglefoot bag goo plasters the wall of the cavern, instead.

[sblock=OOC]So, that weapon thing is kinda crazy. I don't care, though. I figure it works both ways then (so he still has his weapon). Too bad for him that it helps Kushnak way more.

Kushnak: moves; drops 1 (he does not resist); attacks 1, 13+ hit, miss chance 33, 22 damage
Erdolliel: attacks 3, 2+ miss, 15+ hit, miss chance 7, miss; steps
Nethezar: moves; continues inspire courage
1: drops x-bow; draws rapier; attacks K, 5+ miss
2: step; draw alchemist fire; throw at E, 13+ hit, miss chance 67, 4 damage
3: draw tanglefoot bag; throw at K, 1! miss

Status & Initiative
Kushnak: fly
Erdolliel: fly, 14 damage
Nethezar:
1: 22 damage, 7 nonlethal
2:
3: 8 damage

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel strikes again.[sblock=oc]Dodge on 2, step 5' down, attack #2 +9 +4 1d8+3 [/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=oc]Erdolliel's second poison save is probably past due... Also she has something like 6.5 min of Bear's Endurance left I think.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak lashes out at the nearest drow and maneuvers himself closer to the remaining foes.

[sblock=oc]
atk #1 +20(IC +2 & height adv) 2d6+10(w/ IC).

5' step NE(should be due W of 3, but 5' up)

If #1 still stands, hit him again, otherwise #3.

Dodge on 3 either way.

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=oc]oh yeah! height advantages! +2 for Erdolliel too![/sblock]
