[KAUAI]The Rod of Seven Parts: Of Hexes and Gems

Gamad

My powers are weak, I have no spell that can hurt the earth base creatures but my eyes can distinguish creature from pure rock and my aim is good.
He raises his crossbow.
We can take some of them down, hopefully other who lurk in darkness will think twice before attacking us, but my first choice is returning to the crack in the wall and rest.

Range Attack(Crossbow) +4

Brakkus continues the conversation quietly, "I think you've got the right of it, Gamad. Groping around in the darkness trying not to stumble into screaming moss is not how I was hoping to finish the day."
 

Maelicent creeps back into the crystal cavern but stops halfway along the left wall when he realizes that the stalactite creatures are no longer hanging from the ceiling at the intersection of the northern passageway and the cavern. Try as he might, Maelicent cannot spy the wily creatures. They've moved and the things blend in too well to spot at the moment. Maelicent keeps his arrow trained on the ceiling and continues to look for the stalactite creatures until Gamad enters on his heels a few seconds later. Movement above Gamad's head catches Maelicent's eye just as one of the damnable stalactites scuttles a fraction of an inch then drops from the ceiling, the pointed tip of its stalactite-like body aimed for Gamad.

The stalactite drops directly onto Gamad's shoulder with unerring aim, dealing 8 points of damage to the dwarf. Gamad feels the flesh in his shoulder burn white hot with pain as the creature starts to secret some sort of acid into the flesh wound. Maelicent, who'd been waiting for just such an opportunity, takes aim at the creature impaled in Gamad's shoulder and fires the arrow he'd had notched. The arrow shatters the stalactite creature, causing bits of calcified shell to spray in a small explosion like a broken bit of china being dropped to a tiled floor. The hunk containing two eyestalks remains intact and the eye-tipped appendanges flail wildly on the cavern's dirt floor.

Initiative:
Maelicent 23
Voadam 18
Brakkus 17
Chev 5
Gamad 4
Stalactite creatures 2


[sblock=Ambrus]Maelicent's Dexterity modifier is +4 but on his sheet you have his Initiative as only +3. What gives? I've given him the +4 for this round.[/sblock]

[sblock=Voadam]Please indicate what Voadam does with his torch. The last thing I have him doing is being careful that the fire did not go out in a sudden gust of breeze billowing up from the tunnel. The torch is currently still lit.[/sblock]

Voadam keeps his lit torch secure and does not move forward, instead readying a dart and calling out "Heal yourself or get back here Gamad." Voadam watches the cave roof for signs of moving stalactites, ready to fling his dart should he spy one.


ooc Ready action dart +3 d4+2 should he spy a cave tooth.
 

Brakkus strikes out with his guisarme to dispatch the flailing monstrosity. He keeps an eye on the ceiling, trusting his reflexes to swat away any more incoming stalactites.

OOC:
Attack +5, 2d4+4 damage.
Combat reflexes allows 3 attacks of opportunity even while flatfooted so hopefully he can help protect against more incoming creatures.
 

Maelicent turns in surprise once he notices that the albino dwarf has followed him into the room and gotten himself injured. The Gudwulf warrior curses under his breath as he lets loose his arrow and readies a second. Motioning to the fool dwarf to retreat Maelicent aims his bow straight up at the bare cave ceiling and carefully begins tracing an ever growing spiral along the cave roof with the iron point of his arrow, carefully searching for the errant cave-teeth. (Spot +7)

[sblock=Ambrus]As far as I know, you may not take 20 on a skill for which there bears the possibility of penalty for failure. As an aside, you may not take 20 on a skill check during combat. Additionally, retrying a failed spot check requires a move action (PHB 83, bottom). If this imacts your declared action for this round, please go ahead and re-state what you'd like Maelicent to do. I haven't responded with the next initiative sequence, so there's no issue with you re-declaring for the round.[/sblock]
 

Hearing the Moving forward towards Gamad, Chev raises his shield to protect himself from anything that might fall from the ceiling. "You alright, let me take a look at that." Chev says as he takes a look at the injury Gamad sustained.
