[LPF] Beggar's Belief

[Aldern Foxglove]

The cave stretches out beyond the range of your light and darkvision, though obviously because of the isle's size it cannot be vast.

Megan squeezes off a shot and follows with a thrown dagger. She smiles when she hears the satisfactory thud of bolt hitting meat.

OOC: Heavy crossbow takes a full round to reload. So 2nd atk is dagger.

OOC: 1st heavy crossbow to hit should with be with a +4. Just got off a plane and is super tired.

OOC: Did we get a good look at the monsters for a knowledge check? Fester might have the appropriate knowledge, but is he still around? Aldern, what should we do if he's not found?

OOC: Fighting in water will prove to be a huge disadvantage to us, especially since this is the monsters' natural habitat. Let's go with Ariel's plan to lure. Failing that, I say we can always try to run away from them. Our main objective is the leprechaun.

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Megan's bolt plunges into the water and spears one of the shadows! There is a bubbling and a small corpse, which does indeed resemble a goblin with tentacles instead of legs bobs grossly to the surface.

OOC: We will assume Fester remained up with Knesh. The shallow water will be treated as difficult terrain only so its not too huge a disadvantage.

 

[VVilhem]

OOC: Let's proceed with Ariel's plan then.

Megan loads another bolt wait for the monsters to emerge again. She positions herself on the steps so that she'll have a clear shot at the waters around the second bait.

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

But the meat fails to entice the creatures again and they vanish into the deeper water.

 

[VVilhem]

OOC: Looking at the map, are the dark patches where water might be deeper?

OOC: We should check out the skeleton thing in the middle. Might have more loot...

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

OOC: Not sure one can actually hold a spell readied while trying to walk through this water, so I changed my mind. Don't want to risk the dice roll on a concentration check.

After Megan kills one and there is still no reaction, the cleric just shrugs, "Well, maybe there are only two left. If they attack, let's just focus on them one at a time. I think we should advance in a wedge shape with the Guardian on point. I will take the right and Megan the left, a step behind him."

She collects the javelin with the Light spell and puts both her javelins away to free her hand for spell casting. After casting Guidance and Resistance again on everyone, she will refresh the Light spell, putting it on the Guardian's shield. She is ready to proceed once the Guardian leads the way.

Ariel Esimae

Megan follows with crossbow in hand, ready to shoot at the slightest disturbance.

OOC: What's our rout? Left of rock or right? If the dark patches are indeed deeper water, it might be hard to maintain the wedge

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

The darker patches of water are evidently much deeper, but the water is too murky to see the bottom so exactly how deep is impossible to discern.

 

[VVilhem]

Megan squints her eyes at the landscape, trying to discern the geography with what little light they have.

"Going left then towards the skeleton seems to give us the most space to maintain our wedge formation. The right seems more treacherous with sinkholes, but is a more direct rout toward the exit. We can even bypass that skeleton thing in the middle."

The half-elf looks back at her companions, "I vote left. You guys?"
