[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[TiCaudata]

"Padraig! This would be alot easier if you weren't in it's beak! Gil! Do you think that could wait a minute or two?" Jasper then closes his eyes for a moment. [sblock=OC]Cast Magic Vestment on my shield and draw my morningstar[/sblock]

Gil's attempts to open the doors fail again, and the others pepper the large beast with magical attacks. Padraig is unable to reach his mace while he is held.

Konstantine sings mightily, and his quick spell surely saves Padraig's life as the fighter slowly falls.

The beast wings around after dropping Padraig and lets loose another blast, exploding more of the ledge. Bits of the rock scatter in the explosion and the shrapnel cuts into Konstantine.



[sblock=ooc]Winds at this level will impose a -2 on ranged attacks. the areas around the ledge are navagable, but only by climb checks, etc. The doors are marked as red on the map, and the exploded portion of the ledge in blue. The thing is about 15' up. The cliff face in front of you is almost completely vertical.

Padraig is slowly falling out over the cliff face. He should land in 2 rounds. Map after supper...

Konstantine, holding the scroll he pulled out, steps next to Jasper and touches him. "Fly!" the bard shouts.

"Dammit Gil! Forget the stupid lock and shoot the thing!"

Padraig, Male Human Fighter

Padraig lets out a scream as he falls from the beast's mouth. After a couple of seconds, though, he realizes that one of the casters in the party has saved his life, and a wave of relief and joy overwhelms him. Laughing and hooting wildly as he gently floats to the grouund, he sheaths his sword and draws his bow.

Jasper feels gravity release it's hold on him and flies up to face the bird. [sblock=OC]Cast fly on myself. My freedom of movement will kick in if I am grappled. Fly in front of bird (AC=21; +1 MV; +1 Haste) get ready to hit it with my mace (+9 to hit; +1 haste; 1d8 +2 damage).[/sblock]

Realizing he's exhausted all of his useful tricks for this situation, Ruathen anxiously shifts his feet, counting on getting in a quick stab should the creature pass within reach.

[sblock=ooc]Everyone please note I had the height wrong there, the "bird" is 15' up, not 40'.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]So, I have NO IDEA why I thought Konstantine could cast fly. So instead, he's not going to touch Jasper. He's going to hand him the scroll, since, I assume, Konstantine has seen or spoken with Jasper about the fact that he can cast the spell.[/sblock]

The thing is about 15' up. The cliff face in front of you is almost completely vertical.

Padraig is slowly falling out over the cliff face. He should land in 1 round1.

Ruathen readies (i'm assuming you ready).
Konstantine ??
Gil, listening to his companions, attacks the thing. 29, 1!, 12, 28. Two hit. 18+4 damage.
Padraig floats down and rearranges his weaponry.
Jasper casts fly and moves to intercept the bird, he is 15' up.
Zagnak zaps it, reflex save: 22, saves. damage: 4
Thing, attacks, 12+ hits. 10 damage. Grapple: 11+, can't fail. Freedom of movement works. Flies past, provoking.
Jasper AoO: 29, hits. 6+2 damage.

Jasper flies Southwest of it and attacks again.
