[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[Lazlow]

"Gah," Gil mutters under his breath as one of his arrows flies wide. Feeling the effects of the quickening spell, he scurries S, S, S, SW, S, S, SW (35' total moved, bringing him to within 30' of the vine), trying to stay out of reach of the rat weed if possible (although that's not his main concern in getting there).

Once in place, he fires two more arrows while shouting, "Take THAT, mister smarty-plants!"

[sblock]Base attack +15/+10, +1 for Haste, +2 for Bard song, +1 for Point Blank Shot, total +19/+14 to hit; Precise Shot negates -4 to hit woman or Padraig. Base damage 1d8+5, +1 for Point Blank Shot, +2 for Bard song, total damage 1d8+8.[/sblock]

Gwennath is stunned for a moment, but quickly acts to aid her companions, moving south and casting a spell to weaken the vicious plant.
Zagnak, seeing the success of Gil, goes to work with his own bow, but misses due to his hurry to aid his companions.
Konstantine moves to encompass his companions with magic, continuing his song.
Gil continues his assault and another arrow sprouts from the assassin vine.
Jasper bravely approaches the thing, unimpeded by the rat weed all around, except in his ability to fight. As he walks forward, the vine takes advantage of its reach to wallop him. He is so knocked off balance by the blow that his morningstar does not connect.
The vine continues its assault on the heroes then, once again striking Jasper.

"Leaf her alone!!" Gil yelled (followed by a giggle) as he unleashed a mighty torrent of pointy death.

[sblock]Okay, NOW I think he's able to use the full attack plus the Haste effects.

+2 Longbow, Rapid Shot, Point Blank Shot (w/in 30'), no cover (I think), Precise Shot negates -4 to hit companions; base attack with extra shot for Haste +14/+14/+14/+9, +1 to hit for Haste, +2 for Bard song, total to hit +17/+17/+17/+12; damage 1d8+5 +1 for Point Blank Shot, +2 for Bard song, total 1d8+8.

It says Haste gives another attack at the full base attack bonus, I'm not sure if that's the +14 (first attack) or the +9 (last attack). If the latter, then the to-hit would be +17/+17/+12/+12.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Konstantine's singing ceases as the bard looks around to determine his next course of action.
[sblock=michael_noah]I have no intention of using up anymore resources yet. If one of my hurt companions leaves the entangled area, I'll pull out my wand and heal them. Otherwise, I'm probably not going to do anything at all. However, if something happens to make it such that it is clear Konstantine should do something, I'll trust your judgment on it.[/sblock]

A low growl of anger resonates deep from Zagnak He drops his bow and tries to move forward to the plant.

OOC: Drop Bow, Rage, try to break entangle and move half speed to the plant

 

[TiCaudata]

Jasper grunts with the hits and then returns in kind.

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Padraig, Male Human Veteran (Fighter)

'What's wrong with Konstantine?' wonders Padraig to himself when he hears the singing cease. He takes aim with his finely worked bow and thinks, 'I hope he is alright.'

Padraig groans to himself at Gil's joke, and glances in his direction. Seeing Gil loose a volley of arrows, he is brought back to the purpose at hand and looses his own volley.

[sblock=OOC]Full Attack.
Mwk Comp. Longbow, with Rapid Shot and Point Blank Shot, +10/+10/+6, 1d8+5, 20/x3.
(These are the numbers from my sheet and are probably modified by Entanglement, etc.)
Feat Reminder: Precise Shot--no penalty for firing into melee.[/sblock]

The heroes continue to fight, all the while the cries of the woman becoming more muffled as leaves wrap their way around her more tightly. The mage moves for a better shot and points at the vine. Bolts of fire scream from her fingertips to strike the plant at its base, but on impact there is merely a slight sizzling sound as the constitution of the vine is too great for the fire to harm it.
Zagnak abandons his bow to move in on the vine, but is immediately grabbed by the sprawling rat weed. He continues to struggle to break free... Little Gil, meanwhile continues his excellent display of marksmanship, firing arrow after arrow at the vine. As he shoots the spaces between his companions and the captive female, his arrows rip stalks from the vine, and large chunks of meaty green plant-matter litter the street.
Jasper continues trading plows with the plant, this time unhindered. Padraig adds his own arrows to the mix, cutting through the very vine about to wallop him.

[sblock=ooc]Gwennath fires scorching rays, attacks: 11, 16 + 6 -4, both hit. Resistance Negates damage.
Human grapple to escape: 5+?, Vine: 19+? fails.

Seeing the chunks of vine fall off, Gil gives a quick cry of satisfaction. "There we go!" he says. "Keep it up guys - weed 'em and reap!"

[sblock=OOC]Full attack again, same as last round[/sblock]

 

[hero4hire]

Zagnak grunts and roars in protest at the strangleweed. Still struggling to take his restraints out, by the root if need be!

[sblock=ooc] full round action to break free and move at half speed at monster [/sblock]
