IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

Uulark Simental, Cleric6

Out of an overabundance of foolish caution, Uulark sets his spear to receive a charge, just in case anything unexpected rushes up.

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

As fire flashes around the creature, Shai frowns. "Did that look like a web to anyone else. Aw, you don't think someone had it bound before I went and... darnit!"

With that, he points to the monstrosity again, a crackling word coming from his mouth. Again thunder rumbles and lightning springs from the ceiling, though this time, it seems to fizzle out as it makes contact with the beast.

[sblock=OOC]Know: Nature (1d20+11=15)

I'm assuming I have to make an SR check for each bolt, right?

SR check; lightning damage, bolt 2. (1d20+5=10, 3d6=7)[/sblock]
 

If this is a new roun then:

Caerwyn hears what is said by Shai and curses. He lets loos two more bolts from the borrowed crossbow.

"Ya know Uulark, when this is over I will owe you a lot of bolts."
*Twang!*
1d20+7=16, 1d8=4

*Twang!*
1d20+2=4, 1d8=4
*Clack! skitter skitter skitter*

[hijack]
soft golf clapping starts again until Caerwyn turns toward shazi, the cross bow turning with him and aiming at the mephit. The clapping abruptly ends and Caerwyn returns his attention to the chaos creature. [/hijack]

[sblock=Shayuri] sorry, it looked too funny not to continue [/quote]
 


"Kobolds sometimes have minor magical powers," Talashia muses. "One of them may have ensnared it, though it's odd we can't see the webbing. But it's reacting oddly...moving towards that pile of garbage, instead of us. This may not be an ordinary chaos beast."
 


Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

"But, well, then ... " the druid falters. "Should we keep trying to squish it, then? Or, um, should we attack the garbage?" Shai's clearly confused.
 

Uulark Simental, Cleric6

"Can't say just yet. Need more information. Why don't we toss Rogash over beside the 'pile' and see what happens?" ;)

[sblock]
Couldn't resist a gratuitous reference to 'Dwarf Tossing!'

As if almost on cue to Caerwyn's words, the pile seems to grow as another of the foul beasts emerges from within. For a brief moment you see what looks like a small kobold hatchling before it disappears back into it's self-enveloping mass.

You take in the sight before you, and you'd swear the many shifting, slobbering mouths of the sire each grinned at you in turn as a third beast emerges behind the second.

[sblock=OOC]Had to leave you something to chew on while I was away. See you when I get back! ;)[/sblock]
