[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

[nerdytenor]

Foo

Surrounded by most of the party, the beast pushes hard against the ground with all of its legs, and is propelled to safety when a huge mess of sticky web emerges from both halves of the beast, enveloping all but Joshua.

The beast lands near Joshua. With new prey in sight, it charges, heedless of Moreen's divine challenge. Joshua is nearly impaled by an axe, but he raises a magical shield at the last second.

Karis takes 5 poison damage.
Karis misses.
Karis saves vs slow+poison (13), but fails save against -2 to attacks(4)

Spider fails recharge of power (rolled 2).
Spider uses Web Rocket (encounter power). Everyone but Joshua is immobilized in gooey, sticky webs (as if grabbed).
To escape the grab, make an athletics or acrobatics check DC 15 as a Move action. Success = move one square out of sticky mess. Fail = still stuck. (Since it is a move action you can try twice in one turn if necessary).

Spider spends last AP and charges Joshua.

"Avaunt ye, ye Foul Beast!" Joshua thrust forth his arm and a peel of thunder racked the clearing, centred on the spider beast.

[sblock=OOC]Thunderwave vs Fort 18: damage 7 and spider pushed 1 square north-west(if that hits!)Roll Lookup [/sblock]
With the beast still too close for comfort Joshua shifted himself further east, trying to put the tree between himself and immediate danger.

OOC: This was easy to miss, since it is buried in another post, but here are the beastie's defenses.

Enemy Defenses
AC 18 Fo 20 Re 16 Wi 17

Rellek, like his friends struggled against the sticky mass that encased him, Fortunately his lithe body was able to twist and turn sufficiently that he slipped out of the encasing.

[sblock=rolls]

At last a good roll nat 20+4 for atheletics = 24

Just to say NT you made a mistake, earlier you assumed I'd dropped my bow and gone to axes, but I hadn't. Now the beast is at O,P 13/14 I will remain where I am and try and distract him from Joshua with two more Twin strike arrows.

Roll 1 17
Roll 2 14

So no go there then...

If I have an action point left I will use it to aid lend aid to skill checks where appropriate to Moreen or Todarr as they are closest to me.


I'm loving this critter BTW fantastic encounter so far.

OOC: Ooops - sorry about that, Arbanax. Is your position on the map correct?

Karis attempts to wriggle free, but can't quite escape the sticky webbing. She elects to pull out her magic dagger and hurl it at the.... thing, rather than trying again. Miraculously, despite the distance and her befuddled state, the magic dagger strikes home.

[sblock=actions] Move: fail to escape the web.

Deft strike with the dagger hits AC 23 for 12 damage. (The roll on IC is 22, and includes -2 to all attacks and -1 from distance, but doesn't include +1 for dagger talent.)

Karis fails to shake off the attack penalty, too.

The beast howls in rage as Karis's magic dagger penetrates its defenses. It immediately launchies its leg-spines at Karis, Moreen, and Joshua, hitting ALL THREE!

Beast - Immediate Reaction when first bloodied, encounter power. Beast launches Tingly Spines (+4 vs fort) vs K (24 HIT), M (15 HIT Barely), J (23 HIT).
Affected targets take 5 ongoing poison and are slowed (save ends both)

ooc: Hmm, if it's an immediate reaction, does that mean that Karis gets to save against the poison at the end of her turn?
