[IC] Industrygothica's "The Hive"

[Mista Collins]

Frustrated and angry that her spells have had little to no effect, Tanith draws her crossbow, loads a bolt and fires it at the hellish creature! "Won't you just die already!!!!"

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Jonas Cleighton, you have my thanks. And Shai, thanks for Dyspeer."

Two more arrows into this flying thing.

 

[industrygothica]

The party launches a volley of arrows and bolts at the flying formian as it swoops down an digs its claws once again into Courage. None of the ranged attacks hit, and Dyspeer makes an impressive leap for the thing but is unable to make bring it down as it flies by.

(end of round 4)

[Mista Collins]

"Can anyone stop that thing from flying!" Tanith shouts as loads and fires another crossbow, all the time getting increasingly angry at the situation.

 

[DrZombie]

Jonas once again drops his shield and grips his sword two-handedly, waiting for the creature to swoop again.

(ready action to attack the creature when in reach)

 

[jkason]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

"Can anyone stop that thing from flying!" Tanith shouts as loads and fires another crossbow, all the time getting increasingly angry at the situation.

"I would if I could, Tan,"' Shai growls, fletching and shooting another arrow.

 

[industrygothica]

Shai fires an arrow at the thing and scores a hit, tearing a large chunk of flesh off of the creature.

Still, it flies off of the wall and dives at Courage, Tanith's bolt barely missing it. As it tears into Courage's shoulder again, Dyspeer leaps up and snatches the thing out of the air, slamming it to the ground violently.

Before he can sense the life leaving the thing, Jonas lands a postmortem blow with his sword, neatly severing the dead formian in half.

Status:
Courage Bloodstone 18/34:
Shaimon Hu'u 18/32 (barkskin 240 rounds):
Tanith Dathius 18/20:
Jonas Cleighton 31/36:
Dyspeer 20/29:

 

[Mista Collins]

Out of pure frustration, Tanith runs up to the corpses and gives it a sturdy kick with her left foot. "Why in the name of The Gray Waste did that thing resist my magics!" with another kick, it takes Tanith a few moments to settle down.

Walking away from the creature she paces back and forth in the caves, mumbling to herself. Obviously she is trying to calculate why that would have happened.

 

[industrygothica]

When Tanith finishes her tirade one of the dwarves steps up. His sunken cheeks and defeated eyes tell their story, but a glimmer of hope now gleams through. "A-a-are ye here t'save us?" the dwarf asks with a weak, raspy voice.

 

[DrZombie]

"Yes, my good man. Are you all fit to walk?"
