Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[industrygothica]

OOC: I'm a little confused, is anyone other than Friadoc aware of the big bug? And if so, where is it in relation to the party.

No, only Friadoc has seen it at this point. Hopefully the attachment will help.

 

[Friadoc]

"I've got company up here," says Friadoc in a calm, but projected voice. "Creepy, multi-legged company."

For now Friadoc will keep his distances from the creature, if it makes a move for him he'll take action then.

 

[Mista Collins]

Hearing Friadoc's call for help, Tanith walks past her companions to take a look at what it is Friadoc is referring to.

 

[Jemal]

Rokelsh looks around, noting that there are companions pressed in on both sides of him.

"I will assist with the 'creepy, many legged' thing, Someone help Shai up front." He states to those nearby, Heading with Tanith to check out the 'bug problem'.

 

[industrygothica]

Rokelsh step back around past the group, along with the still invisible Tanith. The fog is lifting quickly, and to their immediate right they can see what Friadoc was talking about.

A massive centipede is slithering down the wall onto the floor. The thing has to be near 20 feet long, and at least three feet wide, not counting its many legs. Tanith and Rokelsh can see Friadoc couched cautiously on the the opposite wall.

[sblock=ooc]The bug is aware of Friadoc and Rokelsh, but not Tanith; no surprise round here. Here's the initiative order if you want a fight:

20 Tanith Dathius 23/23:
10 Centipede
8 Friadoc 24/32:
5 Rokelsh 31/37:

Shai rushes to the corner, swapping out his weapons. As he peeks around, he sees only the one standing in wait. The kobold sees Shai, too, as he levels his crossbow before Shai ducks back around the corner and tells the others what he sees.

Seeing the centipede is near the exit grate in this room, Tanith decides it needs to be dealt with. Not wanting to blow her cover, she begins chanting some incantations and the sounds of many feet can be slightly heard.

[sblock=ooc]Tanith begins to cast Summon Monster II since it won't negate her invisibility. She is going to summon a Fiendish monstrous centipede, Large. Casting it so it appears right next to the other one.

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Shai rushes to the corner, swapping out his weapons. As he peeks around, he sees only the one standing in wait. The kobold sees Shai, too, as he levels his crossbow before Shai ducks back around the corner and tells the others what he sees.

"What the hells," the big man mutters, "If there's others invisible, maybe I'll hit them aiming for the seeable one."

Shai leans back out, sighting and firing at the Kobold, trying to keep as much of himself covered by the corner as he can.

Jonas charges the centipede.

There's not enough room for this action.

 

[DrZombie]

OOC : bugger.

Jonas stands ready to attack the centipede if it moves towards one of the party members.

"Shai. Avoid a two-front battle if you can."
