[LPF] A Bad Light

[sblock=OOC]I ain't going to quibble over it. I thought it was either 4 or 5 if the fire got doubled and I did not know for sure. Yes I already factored in the -4 penalty.

LOL. With 1d3 damage on the bludgeoning, I wasn't even bothering to roll it with no hope of beating DR and then I got a critical. With a frakkin torch. [/sblock]Borric continues to burn the creature completely, secretly wondering if it might actually taste good grilled as it were. But unless it smells good, he won't consider trying it.

"Burn, baby burn," He mutters to himself.

When the others find the torches and lanterns, he harrumphs "Figures. We could have used those to dowse the fookin' thing in oil and light it on fire proper."

He extinguishes the torch and puts it away. Then he collects his guisarme again.

"I suppose we can barricade ourselves in if we must, but I feel fine."

Anna sighs in resignation.

"I suppose you are right. We can press on, but I'll be of limited use until i've had time to regain my spells. Assuming we encounter foes of the more humanoid variety, I still have a few tricks up my sleeves."

OOC: Sorry guys, I didn't get an email indicating there were any new posts today for some reason.

Sylvain turns the wand on himself and Anna, trying to heal some of the wounds dealt to them. "Anyone else need healing, chaps?" he asked, not sure how badly the grick had damaged them.

[sblock=OOC]2 things.
1) I am contemplating using 2 DMC (=60 days) to level up Borric. I ran the calculations and 4211 (start) + 600 (Encounter) + 1350 (90 days x 15XP per day) = 6161. But I am waiting on another question first. Sunshadow21, would you allow leveling up that way in game?
2) For metagame reasons, we should probably rest for the night so TF's character can recharge her spells so he will have more fun. Borric would not care for such things though.[/sblock]Borric looks to Fury to see what he wants to do. It has been a long day already and they could bunker in for the night.

[sblock=OOC] I'll be ok for another encounter I think. I have another color spray or sleep, and there is always daze spam. [/sblock]

Fury's brow furrows as if he's thinking hard and from the look it appears he doesn't have much practice at. Finally, he nods. "I'm not going to insist we carry on if you need to recoup. Either way we take a chance: move on weakened and we risk not being able to handle any other monstrosities lurking about up there; rest and we risk another ship breaking apart on the rocks." He shrugs. "I think I'd rather take a chance on other people's lives rather than my own." That might seem like a falsehood to those with only a cursory knowledge of the rogue since he seems to recklessly throw himself into dangerous situations but those who know him better know he just doesn't think much about the danger when he's doing those things.

Fury turns to Borric. "We rest that means you and I will have to take the brunt of the watches."

[sblock=OOC]We could break the watches (if you think we need them) down as follows: Anna 2 hrs, Fury 3 hrs, Borric 3 hrs, Sylvain 2 hrs. That way everyone gets enough sleep.[/sblock][sblock=MiniStats][size=+1]Fury[/size] Human Rogue 2 / Bard 2

[sblock=OOC]With TF's permission to go for one more encounter, I am in favor on doing that. Depending on what it might be, Color Spray might not be necessary and Anna can stick with her other powers and we can even do a second one.

IIRC Syl has not used his Cure Hex on Borric yet either. So Let's make sure that Borric gets into the thick of things and takes the brunt of the attacks and see how it goes.[/sblock]Borric sticks on the point Fury made about ships, "Well, I had not thought of that. I don't feel right about just sitting here. As long as we don't have another fookin' grick, I think I can handle most things. I haven't even been scratched today."

"Besides, I don't feel comfortable camping if we have goblins or ogres up the stairs. It would be very bad if they decide to come down here if most of us are asleep."

"Fury, I think you should at least take a sneaking peek and see." He nods to the stairs.

OOC: Anybody growing up in Venza would eventually realize that the storm is likely to keep people from trying to get to close to the shore as they wouldn't be able to reliably see the light even if it was there anyway. I will go ahead and warn you, if you scout ahead, plan on continuing on, the nature of the next floor is not one that will let you rest if you make your presence known. If you don't make your presence known, the chances of being bothered are quite slim, as nothing really cares to impede on the grick's territory for fear of becoming lunch.

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: In that case, feel free to tell Borric to pack sand and insist on resting. I don't mind.

Fury grins obviously pleased to be taking action, any kind of action, over inactivity. "I can manage that." He moves over to the stairwell and peers up as far as he can. He tosses the stick still glowing with the light spell he cast on it earlier up a couple of steps so that, hopefully, a faint glow reaches far enough up that he can see a little when he gets to the next landing.

Before heading up the stairs Fury pauses and the others hear him murmuring to himself, "No one shall see me; no one shall hear me; I shall pass through the crowd like a ghost; I am invisible." To their surprise, none more surprised than Fury, he fades from view. "Gods!" he exclaims. Not knowing how long this mysterious favor will last Fury heads up the stairs.

[sblock=Actions]Here's hoping I can manage this without forcing us to continue past our ability...
