[IC] Industrygothica's "The Hive"

[Mista Collins]

Moving a little farther away from the group, Tanith waits to see how close these creature will come once Courage fires her bow.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: soory for being out of touch. back now, with full access.

IC:

Courage eyes up the advancing ants, and pulls out two quick arrows in succession, one after the other, into one of the advancing ants.

Her voice raises above the ringing of her bowstring, "Shai, you have my apologies. Let me know if you need a hand."

ooc: Updated post 200 with Courage's actions, and that'll be the end of round 1.

** Round 2 **

22 Tanith Dathius, (invisible, 49 rounds remaining): moves a little farther away from the group and begins casting Summon Monster II
15 Giant ants: advance more slowly, now only 50 ft. away
13 Courage Bloodstone: looses two more arrows (3+7=miss, 20+7=hit, 16+7=confirm crit, 5+2x3=damage 21, ant dies)
6 Shaimon Hu'u: runs back into the shack to pick up his bow
5 Dyspeer 18/29: defends Courage

** Round 2 **

22 Tanith Dathius, (invisible): moves a little farther away from the group
15 Giant ants:
13 Courage Bloodstone:
6 Shaimon Hu'u:
5 Dyspeer 18/29:

[sblock= HP question] I think you may have mixed up Shai's damage and Dyspeer's; that, or I missed recording a blow. I have Shai taking 5 points from the ant critter bite, then Dyspeer taking 3 from the axe. So Shai is 27/32 and, I think, Dyspeer's 26/29. Not a big deal, either way, just checking.[/sblock]

"Guess you don't need me to take care of you, after all, huh Dys?" Shai says as he nudges the dying creature with his foot. A quick glance tells him Dyspeer is hurt but not critical, and there is more company Courage is dealing with.

"You watch Courage's back while I run for my bow," Shai says to the wolf, nodding his head in the direction of the archer as he runs back to the shack.

[sblock=OOC]Since the talking and Handle Animal (Defend Courage) are both free, I think Shaimon can do a double move this round to get back into the shack (not sure if he can pick up the bow this round or not)[/sblock]

 

[Mista Collins]

Starting her casting, Tanith focuses on a spot not to far in front of Courage. The sound that resembles some form of insect can be heard faintly from in front of Courage and begins to increase in intensity.

[sblock=OOC Actions]Tanith begins to cast Summon Monster II (Fiendish Giant Bombardier Beetle), centering it 15 ft in front of Courage so that it stands between her and the ants. Appears beginning of next round.[/sblock]

[sblock]Actually, I just forgot to record the five points of damage Shai has taken. Dyspeer took 11 points of damage from the axe blow, not three. He dealt three points when he killed he ant-dwarf thing.[/sblock]

 

[industrygothica]

[sblock=Mista Collins]A Fiendish giant bombardier beetle is not on the Summon Monster II list. However, a Celestial giant bombardier beetle is. Is that what you'd rather?[/sblock]

 

[Mista Collins]

[sblock=industrygothica]opps, that is what I meant. that way it can smite evil things. [/sblock]

COurage lets fly two more arrows at the approaching ants.

 

[industrygothica]

A faint shimmering appears not too far in front of Courage as Tanith's spell begins to take shape. The giant ants continue their approach, and Courage sends two more arrows flying. Again, the first one overshoots, but Courage stands steady as she corrects her aim, and sends her second arrow into the ants chittenous skull, sending bits of gore up in a spray as its head literally explodes upon the impact.

Shai exits the shack, bow in hand and drawn, ready to let fly at his first opportunity. The ever-faithful Dyspeer stands his ground in front Courage, ready to charge at the command. The axe wound in his side looks nasty, but doesn't appear to be slowing him down.
