Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[industrygothica]

OOC: Did Shai's attempt at Wild Empathy seem to engender any change in the critters? If so, or if he seems to think so (I realize this isn't the same thing), he'll go ahead and cautiously try the door.

Sorry, completely missed that post. No, Wild Empathy wouldn't help, since these are aberrations and not animals.

 

[DrZombie]

Whomever goes to the door nearest Friadoc, you are getting dangerously close to the creature, assuming it is dangerous at all. In game terms, to open the door you'd have to be in the square directly next to it. Still game?

OOC:Yes, yes, yes. I get it. Who's dumb enough to stand next to the Otty.



Cautiously Jonas moves closer to the door, ready at anytime for an attack from the creature.

 

[Jemal]

Rokelsh readies himself to leap in the creatures way if it lunges, but keeps himself calm for the moment.

 

[Friadoc]

Once it appears that everyone is in place and ready, Friadoc will attempt to open the door after saying, "Here we go."

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

The Dwarf readies his Glaive to swing at the creature nearest Friadoc. He nod to the others.

 

[industrygothica]

The creature in the muck is still as Jonas moves towards the door.

The silence is truly overwhelming as the group readies themselves, and Friadoc's whispers sound more like a shout.

The halfling leans over (climb check 15+, pass) and tries to push on the door while still clinging to the wall. It only takes a moment to realize that he's getting nowhere fast, and that he'll be unable to open it from his position. He can tell, however, that the door opens inward, and is swelled to the point of being well and truly stuck.

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"Well that was anti-climatic in the extreme. Let me have a go." With that Rogash charges the door at the best speed he can make in the muck and hits it with as much force as he can muster.

OOC: Str. 14

 

[industrygothica]

Rogash rushes the door the best he can, and bounces off beautifully, barely managing to keep his balance. (Str check 18+2=fail).



and for the part we've all been waiting for...

The sudden movement causes the creature to react, lashing out with an odd looking tentacle that glances off the dwarf's filthy armor. The creature on the other side of the room begins a lumbering approach.

[Mista Collins]

Firing her crossbow bolt at the approaching creature, Tanith backs up a few steps and reloads for another shot.


ooc - Standard action to attack the beastie not in melee (+5 att 1d8 dmg), 5 ft step away from danger, move action to reload. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Friadoc]

With a quick flurrish, Friadoc produces a nanchaku and lashes out in an attempt to strike the creature's offending tentacle. If needed, he'll adjust his position upon the wall.
