Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Radoon

I guess one 20 deserves another and down Radoon goes, not dead just failed the trip check.

I forgot the dex modifier on the roll, not that it matters, I can not even get a 23.

dex check (1d20=4).

Once Radoon hits the floor, he will curse let loose a "where the hell are my sea legs?"

OCC - Scott, can you describe the exits here? I am guessing the crew have a free path toward the upper deck and Rook and I have to pass the hound to get there? Is there any cargo hatch or anything of the such we could use?

Rook

Rook dances nimbly around the slavering beast, using his mobility to it's best advantage (Tumble Check (1d20+13=18)). As he passes, he stabs out with Drochthuarach (To Hit & Damage (1d20+8=15, 1d4+4=6)). He finishes his move in position to either lead the beast abovedecks or to continue the fight down here.

For GM Only:

[sblock]I'm almost certain that wasn't a hit, but just in case it was, I intended to post something about 'scoring a line along the creatures ribcage.'[/sblock]

OOC: You are in fact only about 5' from the stairs leading up. Gnurl and the crewmen who are on the opposite side of the hound are the ones who must take the long route to the far end of the ship cross over to the opposite side and then up the stairs. Unfortunately, some of the web spell cast by Gnurl is blocking the stairs close to you.

Rook may which to reconsider his action based on the information above. The hound is AC:20, so your attack was a miss.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

OOC: Rook will move in whichever direction Radoon is trying to lead the hound, unless it stays below to attack the crew. If that's the case he'll move to 'protect' the crew (and Gnurl's last known position). Either way, the tumble & attack rolls stand, of course.

Radoon

Radoon will stay and fight with Rook until he is sure most of the crew are going to be able to make it up without being attacked. As soon as that happens, he will back quickly up the stairs behind him. I want to this this above deck and then take him overboard. I can swim, I wonder if he can.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

In that case, Rook will use his move to place himself between the crew & the hound, and try to force it toward the stair (and Gnurl's Web spell).

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Okay, I need a little info here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Gnurl and the crew move away from the beast heading for the deck. Rook and Radoon pass the beast again so as to get behind it and then try to force it up the stairs and into the web there?

 

[mleibrock]

positions

I was under the impression the beast was in the middle of the below deck area. Rook and Radoon are on one end near some kind of device to get above deck and the crew are on the other side of the hound all headed up the stairs?

I'm not sure how to best accomplish this but Radoon would like to keep the hounds attention until the last crew member is up their stairs and then he and Rook would exit to above deck via their exit.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

OOC:

Given Rook's status and preference for mobility, he's not ready to risk being caught in the web w/ a slavering hound from Hell trying to eat him. His plan is to hold it's attention while the crew escape, then go back up the way he came down.

If he can force the hound into the web, that's icing on the cake.

 

[Scotley]

The beast makes another unsuccessful attack at Rook as they pass to cover the retreat of the sailors. The ship rocks with another attack from the whale. Gnurl finds that with his short legs he is falling behind the retreating sailors and will not make the deck for a while longer.

OOC: Having now put yourselves in the jaws of the beast how will Rook and Radoon proceed. You could try intimidate checks to push him back or just take a poke at it with a sharp stick (or dagger or bastard sword as the case may be).
