Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VII

[Majin]

Moving as close to the skeleton as he dares, Broddy recognizes it as a meazel. The bones are not crushed or marred in anyway that he can tell from this distance.

Upon approaching closer to kneel by the skeleton, Dunstand falls back, surprised, as the yellowish-brown slime lunges off the bones towards him. The rogue is just barely able to avoid being touched by it.

[sblock]OoC: As we haven't heard from everyone just yet, I've yet to know exactly who is still in the game or not. I've been trying to get in touch with Verbatim as well, but with mixed results. I will give everyone 48 hours to get back into this first combat here, which should not be a problem for those of you who have already posted, but it will be about a week since I've been back in the game again, giving those others I think ample time to have noticed. If they haven't posted their actions by this time, they'll have to be placed to the side until/if/when they are reclaimed.

~Anticipating the question, and to speed things up, yes, Broddy would know about ochre jelly strengths/weaknesses ~

Initiative:

Calenthang - 25
Sielwoodan - 24
Dunstand - 21
Sarlis - 15
Verbatim - 14
Teleri - 13
Ochre Jelly - 13
Drogo - 12
Broddy - 11[/sblock]

"Broddy, how do we kill it?" Teleri shouts, brandishing StormArmour, fearing that her own bow would be little help here.

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan, seeing the jelly start moving draw put an arrow on his string but hear Broddy's call (OOC: as Sielwoodan act before Broddy, if he talk only at his turn, simply Rapid Shot if he doesn't know what Broddy told. I suppose it is Know(Dungeonneering)) and put back his bow in place and draw his light hammer to attack the creature. (OOC: Move to put back his ow, move to draw his hammer I suppose)

I wonder if my hammer I use to raise my tent will be good enough against that?

OOC: +6 Melee, Hammer, Light, 1d4+2, 20/x2

 

[Mimic]

"Hey, I was right. It is aggressive." He seems quite impressed with himself, mometarily forgetting that at this moment the slime is attacking the party.

"Broddy, how do we kill it?"

"Oh, yes. How to kill it." Broddy pauses for a minute to recall all he knows about these creatures. "Blunt weapons only and no electricty." He adds looking over at the cleric of Finder. "That will only split the thing in two, its skin is coated in acid, it will attack by constrictng, but its slow so stay out of its reach if you can."

Broddy will cast magic missle at it.

 

[kirinke]

"Right..." Teleri says, sheathing StormArmour.

Sorry my friend. she said apologetically as she hunted around for the biggest rock she can lift and throw at the thing. Heck, she'll use anything she thinks can crush or wound it.

ooc:
light load is 76 lbs or less, medium load is 67-133 lbs or less. Heavy load is 154-230 lbs. STR: 16

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang looks at Broddy incredulously for a moment when he mentions the creature will only take bludgeoning damage. He turns his sword slightly in his hand and smashes down on the jelly.

[sblock]Attacking the jelly with the flat of my blade...[/sblock]

 

[kirinke]

Teleri is looking around for a rock when she sees Calethang start wacking the critter with the flat of the blade.

"For the love of," she curses and draws StormArmour, joining Calenthang at wacking the critter with the flat of her own blade.

Hope this stuff doesn't hurt you.

 

[Manzanita]

"How 'bout fire, then?" asks Drogo. He shoos Rex back and backs away himself, but concentrates on the elemental power within and produces a flaming red sphere, which he sends rolling and bouncing towards the ooze.

OOC: Cast flaming sphere.

[sblock]Sorry I've been such a lame poster in this game and in Shackled city. I've often had trouble getting into Drogo's groove (& Raven's too, to some extent), and these silent spells make him seem a stranger to me. This is a great group and has been a great game when it's going. I hope you can put up with me for a while. I think if we get rolling again, I'll become a more active poster[/sblock]

 

[Dhes]

As Dunstnad struggles back to his feet he quickly slips a dagger into his hand and takes a swipe at the slime.

Ooc: +5 Melee, Dagger, 1d4+
I know that I shouldn’t attack it with my dagger, but I can’t justify having Dunstand take time to think about Broddy’s words when he is busy dodging the jelly.

 

[Majin]

OoC: Although I've given a bit more time than I said, Verbatim & DarkMaster have yet to post their actions so they will be put aside for the time being.

Hipp/Kirinke - Just in case you didn't know, using the flat of the blade gives a -4 penalty to attack rolls & only does subdual damage. Just wanted to make sure you knew how damage would be done on your rolls this round.

Heeding Broddy's quick warning about not slashing the slime, Calenthang beats at the thing with the flat of his blade. Sielwoodan spends the next few moments switching weapons and moving into position. Lashing out with his dagger in a reflexive defensive movement, Dunstand cuts into the creature, which little to his surprise now after Broddy's words register, causes the creature to split into two.

Parroting Calenthang's angle of attack on the slimes, Teleri turns Stormarmor in her hands and swings at the nearest, split jelly. One of the split jellies lunges at Calenthang, grazing his leg roughly, leaving a slight acidic burn. The other jelly continues trying to attach itself to Dunstand, but the rogue manages once again to roll out of the way as he manages to steady himself once more.

Drogo casts out his ball of fire at the nearest ooze, commanding the ball to stop when it envelops the creature, burning it. The ooze recoils in the flames, visibly pained as it ripples from the fire. Three missles sail out of Broddy's fingertips, flying through Drogo's ball of flame and into the same ooze, damaging it further.
