Iconics Adventure

[Tordek]

The Red Dwarf just chuckles at the holy ones remark

 

[Naull]

"Yes, you are right, Holy One. I had forgotten that it might not be evil. "

"I shall await for the attempt to communicate with said critter before I decide to blast it."

 

[Alhandra]

After a pregnant pause, the upstanding citizen of Lawful-Goodness steps out to hail the spider, whispering under her breath "What, you're not gonna stop me?!!
You think I wanna alert this thing that we're here?
I wanna kick it's butt, and you can't believe how restricting it is to have to confirm that something's Evil before kicking its butt.

Can't we just pretend that it's a little evil?
Why does it always have to be a Evil?

*Heironeous's voice echoes quietly in Alhandra's head, "I heeeeeaaaaard that!" *

"Grrrr! I hate it when 'Rony does that!"

 

[Naull]

"I'm just deferring to your wishes. You said that we needed to talk to it! I know it can't be up to anything good, but we gotta play by the rules."

 

[Tordek]

Sigh... women

Tordek fires an arrow at the spider thingy.

(+6 bonus to attack role - 1d6 +2)

 

[Naull]

That being done by Tordek, I lob a magic missle (2d4+2) at the thing.

"Ok, well, conversation with critter is officially over."

 

[Kazak]

Alhandra the paladin holds out her hand droopily and numbly adds, with little emotion and monotone voice,
"Wait!
It might not be Evil.

Mayhap we can talk to it to determine its true intentions."

"I don't think you convinced 'em lass. Try puttin' a few more ranks of Diplomacy into it next time."

Kazak readies his crossbow, in case his fellow Iconics don't fell the beastie.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Alhandra, you sense that the spider is evil. After another moment of thought, it isn't the spider itself that is evil... but something that seems to be in mental contact with the spider.

-----

Tordek shoots at the vermin with his crossbow...

He gets a 22, which hits. He deals 8 points to the spider-thing.

...and the bolt cleaves it in half.

Naull's magic missiles close in on the remains of the creature...

Magic Missiles deal 9 points to the spider-thing.

...and now there are bits and pieces of spider around where it had previously been climbing.

 

[Naull]

ewww!

"Yessss!" Looks over at Alhandra and Tordek "I guess you were both right. Anyone have a clue what that was?"

 

[Krusk]

"Too easy," Krusk mutters as he hefts his greataxe, ready for more trouble. He trots forward to investigate the remains... They may be edible, after all.
