[Living Pathfinder] Little Rock of Horrors

[GlassEye]

Round One continues...

Mariah appears to be transfixed by the flickering of the green flames. She stands staring…

Pari’s scythe opens up a long gash on the head’s cheek that drips a foul, green ichor.

Giocco follows on Pari’s heels sobbing. ”Da! Da! I didn’t mean to do it; I swear! They’ll fix it. I paid ‘em to fix it!” He kneels by the body but the boy’s proximity alerts some sense in the still moving body and it makes a lurching grab for Giocco. Giocco, horrified by the grasping hand, scuttles back away from it. As he goes he runs into his spellbook still lying open on the floor and he focuses on it. Blinking back tears he snatches it up and runs to the wall disappearing down the trapdoor.

Heinrich’s pedantic questions are clearly not going to be answered anytime soon.

The head of Lanterna, Sr. darts forward with gnashing teeth and rips a mouthful of flesh from Pari. The body stumbles unsteadily to its feet.

OOC: The body provokes an attack of opportunity from Pari as it stands.

OOC: Garnet is up; Mariah and Heinrich still have actions but once I get Garnet’s action we’ll move to round two so I’ll take everyone’s actions now.

[Scott DeWar]

OOC: two questionsfor the dm, since the boy is gone. 1. is the fire at least campfire sized? 2. is there a clean shot for a fire jet to hit either the body or the head? if there is i have the damage below and have counted it as cast for now.

Garnet's eyes flick in horror between the head and body of what had once been a man. Then she charges, axe upraised. But all in the room are caught off-guard as she side-steps the abomination before her, instead running switfly to deliver a hard blow to the swinging lens of the lighthouse lamp.

OOC: Advance to J8 and hit the lens, assuming she thinks she can do it without the light hitting her. She is willing to soak attacks of opportunity from the head/body, but will not step into the light. If she cannot get directly to the light without it hitting her, she'll full move the long way around to try to get to it.

End of Round One...

Heinrich does manage to get a clear line at the head and fire streaks from his hand to singe the beast.

The senior Lanterna’s head takes a nip out of Garnet as she passes. Garnet solidly hits the wildly rotating focusing apparatus and narrowly avoids being bathed in its light. The focuser, already unstable from whatever the vegepygmies may have done to it and the lack of maintenance over the past several weeks, tips and crashes to the floor with a shattering of glass and crystal. The oppressive aura of menace in the room that you all didn’t even realize was there until its absence lessens though the pieces of Lanterna Sr. still threaten the group.

OOC: Round Two: Pari is up.

OOC: Scott, the basin is ten feet in diameter. The fire fills it but isn’t threatening now that the focuser is gone.

[Maidhc O Casain]

Pari takes an off balance swipe as the body rises, scoring a shallow wound across it's chest. Deciding discretion is the better part of valor, he takes a short step away and begins weaving his hands in complex patterns, chanting a prayer to Kavan for his aid.

[GlassEye]

As Pari begins his spell the body of Lanterna Sr. shambles forward towards the gnome. The head flaps about slowly assessing its opponents before darting down towards Garnet with gnashing teeth. Garnet is not quite in defensive stance when the head swoops down and takes another bite out of the dwarf.

OOC: Round Two continues: Heinrich is up, then Garnet & Mariah. Pari begins Round Three.

[Scott DeWar]

seeing his last flame jet be of poor summoning, he tries it again, realizing he is running out of his abilty to summon the element.

 

[mfloyd3]

Garnet hesitates, wondering if this bizarre magic could in some way be reversed. But the gnome and the human wizard, far wiser in the arcane arts than she, have already begun using lethal force. She swings her axe even as she tries to use her shield to buffet the hideous flapping thing before her.

 

[Lord_camulus]

OOC: I'm Sorry the sight has been inaccessible to me for about a week. some security problem.

Mariah glairs at the beast unsure of its strength, but remembering the fallen body of the boys father she draws her bow and fires at it without question aiming for the beasts head.

 

[GlassEye]

Round Two continues...

Heinrich carefully aims his blast of fire so that it only strikes the head darting above Garnet. The head bobs and doesn't take the full blast of the fire but is still burnt by it. Unfortunately, Garnet’s and Mariah’s attacks miss the mark.

OOC: Begin Round Three. Pari is up.

[sblock=Combat Stats]Welcome back, Lord camulus. Glad things have been resolved for you.
