[LPF] A Bad Light

[Gerald007]

Seeing Anna paralyzed, Sylvain immediately took a step backwards to try and avoid such a fate to himself. After getting to what he thought was momentary safety, he used the same magic he had prior on the ape that was threatening his group, and vomited forth a swarm of spiders, moving them due north, toward the undead that had originally threatened him.

OOC: I'm jumping ahead of Borric, since I'll be out most of the day. Hope that's okay. 5' step south to L13, cast Vomit Swarm and move it toward the undead at J13.

OOC: If you cast that before Borric can move, you will catch either him or Anna in the swarm before it can get to the ghoul since it starts adjacent to you. So I will go ahead, and say you used a free action to tell Borric to move and readied an action to cast the spell as soon as your allies were all out of the way.

OOC: Thanks, DM. I forgot the swarm was a 10' square, instead of a 5' one. LAst thing Borric needs is spiders eating his face while he is trying to not get paralyzed!

OOC: Ah crap. I had my post finished and was previewing it when Syl posted. I need to change it. Will the swarm set up flanking for Fury? It will make different on which weapon I use. Also I will trip the incoming ghoul at K-16 Trip with MWK Guisarme (1d20+9=16)

 

[sunshadow21]

OOC: The swarm wouldn't provide flank because the swarm section specifically says they don't threaten squares, but have the distract ability instead. You successfully trip the ghoul.

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

With more of the hell-spawn swarming them, Borric trips the one coming after him to delay the gnashing teeth from getting close.

"Well this is a fine pickle we are in."

The fighter steps up to deal with the fallen creature and make some space. He swings the guisarme slicing deeply into the creature to his left.

Afterwards he drops his guisarme and readies his shield and 'mageslayer', intending to bash in the skull of the one on the ground if it tries to stand up again.

Fury doesn't see much choice but to stand his ground and fight as well as he is able. Growling under his breath with frustration, "Grrr...", he tries to avoid the creature's attacks as he makes his own.

OOC: I think Fury means J-13, not J-12 where he is standing. Sorry GE, my first post was asking Syl to provide flanking for you to finish off J-13 so I could take advantage of the prone ghoul. I could not do both, so I gambled that you could take out the wounded ghoul with a sneak attack and keep my possible AoO.

The creature in the middle drops from the combined attacks of the swarm and Borric. Fury, seeing that one goes down, turns and slashes into the other one attacking him. That ghoul lashes out at Fury, but does direct one claw at Anna, unable to resist the obvious dinner opportunity completely. The attacks on Fury hit armor, but the claw on Anna manages to do 7 points of damage. The one on Borric stands up, and though Borric lays into him, it is not enough to drop it, so the creature manages to attack, and but the bite misses.

[sblock=map and combat conditions]No updated map because I am at work and so in front of the wrong computer to do that.

Anna: 0/14 hp; paralyzed
Borric: 30/33 hp
Fury: 24/25 hp
Sylvain: 26/26 hp

ghoul 1: 6 damage
ghoul 2: 10 damage[/sblock]

Feeling a bit creeped out by Sylvain's mass of spiders looming at his back, Fury dives forward to move past the undead creature and put it between him and the creepy-crawlies. Unfortunately the creature isn't as off-guard as Fury had hoped and manages to take a swipe at him. Regaining his feet Fury stabs at the creature again but the sand and debris under his feet throw off his aim and the attack misses.
