[IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

[nerdytenor]

"Fight me, slimy bastard!" Horto shouts, unhappy at seeing Zarathas flanked. Horto takes a retaliatory swipe with his sword, but his frustration causes him to miss.

[Sparky]

Ranver grits his teeth as Charlotte takes wounds. His stomach clenches and he levels the wrath of She-Who-Knows at the defiler. Flashes of the desecrated temple flash before Ranver's eyes.

What were they thinking...? What end is served by inspiring your enemies with righteous rage?

That, from a quiet part of Ranver's mind given over to tangential thought... the part of his mind that wakes him at night with the solution to difficult riddles or makes him wonder alarmingly at the color of the High Priestess's undergarments.

The part of his mind engaged in smiting foes is eclipsing the quiet querulous bit quite handily at the moment as Ranver levels his spear at the demon and looks along its length at his foe.

"The Eye of the Goddess Pierces the Darkness of Mortal Souls."

Standard: Cause Fear at the Sea Devil, Crit![/sblock]

 

[helium3]

For a moment the Sea Devil looks quizzically at Ranver and his outstretched spear. Then, he gasps and the rows of spines around his ears and down his back bristle up and turn bright crimson. He shouts a hissing, gurgling "YOU CANNOT KNOW!!!" of abject fear and throws up his arms as if to shield his face from the cleric's knowing gaze.

[sblock=OOC]We should discuss how this power works in this particular situation in the OOC thread.[/sblock]

[sblock=Varilar]Your turn.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Seeing the sea devil's distraction, Varilar drives his dagger into its stomach and twists, hoping to find a vital organ.
[sblock=ooc] Piercing Strike vs. Sea Devil, hits AC 23 for 10 damage. What a sad damage roll. Double 1's on the d8's.[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

The Sea Devil hisses in rage at Varilar and prepares his counterstrike.

[sblock=Zarathas]Your turn.[/sblock]

 

[Blackrat]

Wrath of Gods upon you! The dragonborn roars as his blade flares on a holy radiance and comes down on the halfling with a force that could split lesser men in two.

[sblock]Radiant Smite (1d20+6=22 vs AC, 2d8+6=17) against the halfling. I'll let you guys mop up the Sahuagin and instead take the halfling down form harassing us.

Oh, and I'm quite badly wounded right now, with only 6 HP...[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

The Hafling staggers, blood gushing from a sizzling wound to his belly and chest. Even he can tell that he's not long for this world.

[sblock=Horto]Your turn.[/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Impressed by Zarathas's resilience, Horto nonetheless recognizes that the paladin is nearing the end of his endurance. Got to keep slimy-face on me, he thinks.

With new determination, Horto continues his steely assault against the sea-devil, but only manages to cause superficial damage.

[sblock=Actions 'n Stats]
Reaping Strike - +12 vs ac (+8 base, +2 CA, +2 villain's menace), does 1d8+8 (+4 base, +4 villain's menace) on a hit, 2 damage on a miss.

Rolled 1d20+12 = 21, missed by one ARGHH!!!!
Sea devil takes 2 damage.
