D&D 5E (IC) Fitz's Folly

[Hades#2]

Qawasha looked at Yassah like he had spoken for the first time and asked, "What sort of spell would you propose?"

"I am not trained in magic. If ssomeone can throw fire or ice at enemies, they sshould be able to hold a door closssed. Do you not agree?"

 

[MetaVoid]

"Those who cannot harm the guardian, go help the lady. You two, Yassah, guard, go!"
Ussal keeps adding pitons to the door while responding to the druid.
"Qawasha, some kind of warp wood that will jam it ssstronger. Ssstrengthen wood that will take it more resssilient. Shape wood that would open a sssmall hole in the wood ssso I can cassst through and it cannot retailate?"

"Myrral, can your net keep it down? "

 

[JustinCase]

Wrok the broodguard moves as instructed, only hesitating for a moment about what 'help the lady' means in effect. He decides that since Miss Imogen is attacking, his course of action is to close in on the target and assault it, too.

He bounds towards the enemy, meagre claws ready to rend.

Qawasha eyed the door dubiously, trying to decide if he could do any of the things that the yuan-ti were suggesting. The door was mostly made of stones - even the rollers were smooth-carved stones. The side they faced (like most of the walls of the dungeon) were carved with perverse images of skeletons, demons, and their victims. Some of the "art" was made of inlaid mosaic stones, but much was carved into the surface.

"I could entangle the door with vines," the druid suggested, "But they are not best against a strong opponent. The creature would likely tear them free, as he would your spikes. It would only last a minute. Perhaps it would be better to save in case it breaks through."

While they were discussing it, Miss Imogen drew her bow and aimed it at the skeleton across the balcony. The broodguard bounded forward, and the skeleton slowly turned, and then quickly began to move away.

OOC: @Kobold Stew Does she fire if it's not attacking? Your post was a little unclear. I'll give you a map. It's theoretically possible for the Tomb Guardian to break through, but it would take a lucky roll. I'm gonna roll randomly for how long. Could be awhile.

Spoiler: Map

OOC: While we're at it, let's decide what we want to do next: 1) Deal with the Tomb Guardian; 2) Deal with the Skeleton; 3) Check out the weird door; 4) Go down the stairs.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: I will admit I thought it was much closer, but yes, I made the attack rolls, and spent the action surge. Imogen attacks the thing.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Miss Imogen's arrows slammed into the skeleton with great force. For certain, arrows were not the best tools to take down a rack-of-bones, but she crippled the thing, and it scuttled away, heading for an eastern side-passage near the north-end of the balcony.

OOC: It's running.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: time for another shot before it leaves?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Time for another shot before it leaves?

OOC: Yeah, there's a bit of a ways for it to go to get out of sight. Broodguard won't quite be able to catch it before it does.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Miss Imogen fires two more arrows at the retreating skeletal creature, driving it off. She is not sure if either connects.

OOC: Attack: 1d20+4= 13 and 6. Does the 13 hit? If so, damage = 1d8+14=15. Boo.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Imogen's arrows went harmlessly between the bones of the fleeing skeleton.

OOC: Nope. Anyone else want to take a shot at it, or do you feel that you're too busy with the door? The pitons are currently holding strong.
