[LPF] From Whence None Return

[jkason]

Weel Naxel, aasimar oracle

"Naughty, naughty, little tree," Weel says, clicking his tongue. "Not everyone likes to be hugged when you meet them. Now, you let Maui go. And Maui, you should give our new friend room to come play the killing game with everyone. No fair hogging all the fun."

At the broad shouldered man's words, Maui hears a chittering in his own ears that's usually confined to right around Weel's shoulders. He can't understand any actual language, but feels a surge of magical energy through his form.

Weel holds his greatsword up, shaking it a touch as he starts speaking to it, saying, "Yes, yes, you've been waiting for this and it's all built up inside you. Don't worry. You'll get your chance." Those looking notice a brief glow about the blade, but it doesn't appear to say anything back that anyone else can hear.

[sblock=ooc]Immediate action: Cast Liberating Command on Maui. He can make an immediate action Escape Artist check to get out of the grapple, with an additional +16 to his normal check bonus. If he makes that, I think that'll leave him all his actions for the round to be slashy-bitey tiger.

Standard Action: cast Lead Blades. Greatsword damage bumps up to 3d6

Move: Looks like there's not much of anywhere for Weel to get to that will let him engage, so he'll stay where he is until he can get anywhere. [/sblock]

Knowledge Nature: Does Vincenzo know the best attack to use on the shambling mound.

1d20+3=22

If He does know that a long sword is better then a rapier, he will

Move action: sheath his rapier
move action: Move to AF - 20 and draw longsword as part of his move action

Next round: lunge attack planned

Edit: knowledge check shows rapier works just as well as longsword and since he prefers rapier, then change as follows:

Move: AF,20 lunge attack to offensive shrubbery.

Attack/Damage: 1d20+13=24, 1d6+7=13

Maui, infused by Weel's power, reared up and snapped the vines that held him in place. Vincenzo had moved in and sliced into the creature, lopping off a decent chunk of vegetation, and although the druid wasn't smart he was battle savvy. If the Bush Strangler could reach him, it could reach Vincenzo as well. It had no need to continue shambling out of the room to where the were all able to attack it as one if he backed off. It could just reach out for a smaller bite sized meal instead.

In his current form he had no way of communicating this other than with a mighty roar, a rather ambiguous sound at best. He would have to take the creature down as quickly as he could himself, as luring it out had not succeed due to the long whip like vines he had failed to take into account. He stepped in and set about ripping and biting at the shambler with all he was worth.

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem rushes forth, saying to the others, "It looks like salad is on the menu tonight, lads!"

Lem punches out in a flurry, as his fists become surrounded by fire.

OOC: I'm reading that Lem is at BM41, but that's not even being shown on the latest map. On the map he is at AE23. I would like him to move to AG19 and attack.

Melee attack did 3 hit points blunt damage, and 3 points fire damage.

1d20+11=16, 1d6+1=3, 1d6=3


OOC: Disregard. Lem moves as close as he can to the melee, but cannot attack this round.

 

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC] Lem can't go there unfortunately. Maui takes up that entire space. You will have to attack at range this round until Maui is able to move (unless you can lunge... I am so going to take that as my next feat) . [/sblock]

Maui breaks free of its grasp and then proceeds to tear apart the wading tree. Three bolts of mana slip around the tiger and strike the tree as well, causing it to slump for a second. The lizards, needing their protector, gather together a bit more and a crackling surge of electricity bursts forth from them. While this energy reanimates the shambler, it stings the tiger. Vincenzo, standing in armor, in water, takes the full brunt of the charge while the leopard and monk are able to squirm and dodge their way out of the wave front and are unhurt.

Reanimated, the limbs of the shambler starts flailing again. One strike is ineffective, but the next leaves more than bruises on the tiger. It tries to wrap around the beast again, but cannot quite succeed in entangling the large beast.

"No one told me we were making things move when they stopped moving!" Weel protests as the shock attack seems to re-animate the mound. He stomps forward, pouting.

"If that's how we're playing, then there's no reason why those poor stones have to sit there and get splashed for no reason." Weel pulls a piece of clay from the pouch at his waist and slaps it on the wall just in front of Vincenzo. With an odd squelching sound, the wall of the throughway does, indeed, slide out of the way, making the passage wider.

"There. Now everyone can play the killing game and the rocks don't have to get bullied for being in the way." Weel says with a smile.

[sblock=ooc] Move to AE 20, passing through AE 21 and 22 on the way.

Standard: Cast Stone Shape, reshaping AF19 & 18 to flatten and spread out, making the passageway another 5' wider. He should be able to reach the stone at AF 19, I assume, since he'd be able to attack that square if it were empty. 18 cubic feet should be enough to clear out the hallway, probably with some overhang but not enough to impede movement.

The spell doesn't say anything about conservation of mass, so I'm assuming I don't need to specify where the 'spread flat' stone goes?

This should mean AF 18 & 19 are now viable squares for combatants, though I imagine AoO are probably something to consider if anyone's moving there.[/sblock]

Vincenzo smiles as the walking head of lettuce weaken, but suddenly speaks words of great wisdom, NNNNNNNYYUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHaaaawwwwwwwhhhhh!!!!!!!" he screams as the electricity courses through his wet, metal clad body. "That was so very unnecessary." grumbles the fighter as it strengthens again.

"I hoped the lizards would stay out of this" Menik sighs.

He moves in front of the passage, and casts a spell. There is a flash of light and heat from inside the lizard cave, and a cloud of steam.
