[LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

[Aura]

[sblock=Breaking the Grapple]If you succeed in your CMB vs the stirge (DC 9), you can act normally. So Dunkel (@Deuce Traveler) can do something now that he's broken free of his stirge.[/sblock]

 

[Commander_Fallout]

These were indeed worse than bats. It was painful, and almost sickening, watching this beast flutter about while attached to his arm. He grimaced and gritted his teeth and held his arm up, which began to smoke as he chanted something. He glared at it, before muttering, "Get off of me, you filthy vermin."

The smoke lept from his hand and engulfed the stirge.
[sblock=OOC]Concentration (1d20+5=18)
He casts Cause Fear on his own Stirge.[/sblock]

"No, twist their legs!" as Mystie points at Cruendithas and wiggles her finger. The tide of his struggle changes with the giant bug. "Bubba, go bite that bug!" Bubba bounds over and obeys, biting one of the bugs that was on Cruendithas. Bouncing on Bubba's back and trying not to hit her new compatriot, a jolt of electricity flashes wide of its mark as Mystie tries to pick off the other bug that was harassing the gnome.

[Deuce Traveler]

OOC: What if I want to have Dunkel pull the Stirge off of his mount? Can I make that second grapple in a single round? What penalties do I incur if I choose to use my axe on the creature instead?

 

[Aura]

Round 1 Update

With a sudden change in fortune thanks to Mystie, Cruendithas suddenly finds himself effectively squirming out of the death hold of the flying monster, free to act again.

[sblock=Cruendithas]In a twist of fate, you are free to act without restriction for the round. Two nasty stirges flit about you, both seriously injured. One of them, #4, is 'tripped'.[/sblock]
[sblock=Dunkel Answers]When you use your CMB against their CMD, you can either free yourself of the stirge (and have your action to do with as you please) or you can counter-grapple the stirge (giving you control of the grapple, and the four options given on pg 200 of the Core Rulesbook: Move, Damage, Pin, Tie Up.) So to begin with, you escaped your stirge. So with your action, you can choose to initiate a grapple, which will incur all the penalties previously mentioned in the grappled condition. However, if you just want to swat it with your axe, you can with no penalties. Move action to draw (since you are +0 BAB) and standard action to attack. It's AC is 12 since it is grappling Rawhide. If you swat your own stirge, it is AC 16.[/sblock]
[sblock=Mystie Answers]Stirges have a significantly higher CMD vs trip, but Bubba still made it, so the stirge is considered 'tripped'. All the mechanical penalties apply, and it can be thought of as 'unbalanced.' I'm ok with that.[/sblock]

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Dunkel gives a shout and attacks the stirge connected to Rawhide. "To hell with all these abberations!"

OOC: 1d20+2=14, 1d8+2=9, 14 to hit and 9 damage.

Hawk, Little Halfling with a Big Sword

Hawk pulls out her greatsword and swings at Stirge7 above her head. The greatsword slices clean through the creature. Half of the creature falls on one side of Hawk, the other half on the opposite side of her. Neither half moves once it hits the ground.

Cruendithas finding himself free the bug and the bug tripped by Bubba he quickly chants and flings more acid at it. "Thank you!" Cruendithas exclaims to Bubba and Mystie and then turns to face the remaining bug.

Round 2 Stables Battle

Hawk lashes out, her sword biting into one of the stirges and cutting it not-so-neatly in two. The two halves come to earth and writhe for a few seconds before fully expiring.

Driven by the primal urge to feed, the surviving flying vermin battle on. The one that had been previously knocked off-balance by Bubba attempts to right itself, and the feisty canine seizes upon the opportunity to snap at it, mangling it even more severely than the first victim. However, the other beast flitting around Cruendithas narrowly avoids a blob of flying acid thanks the the chaos of the melee, but fails to land on the gnomish treasure seeker to draw yet more nourishment.

Just nearby, Wahyu summons his inner will and casts a magical spell. Smoke issues forth, and the giant mosquito quickly detaches itself from the wayang's arm and beats a hasty retreat over the roofline of the stable in a desperate effort to put as much distance between itself and the oracle.

Meanwhile, Dunkel's attacker proves more capable, and the little monster clamps on, stabbing deep into him and drawing up yet more blood. Having gotten a second draught from the beefy dwarf, it's body starts to turn ever brighter shades of red.

Somewhere, over the stable, what was previously screaming has quieted down to a quieter, incomprehensible crying. It becomes more and more difficult to hear as the giant birds inside the stable fidget and peck, trying to remove or kill the tiny winged predators attached to them, with limited success. One more insect is killed, but the rest all merrily continue gorging themselves.

[sblock=combat stuff]
Stirge 5 flies away under effect of fear.
Stirge 6 misses Cruendithas.
Stirge 3 grapples Dunkel and drains another point of CON.

Stirge 8: DEAD (mangled by Bubba)
Stirge 7: DEAD (bisected by Hawk)
Stirge 6: 2/5 hp - Flitting about Cruendithas
Stirge 5: 5/5 hp - Flying away
Stirge 4: DEAD (Bubba's second victim)
Stirge 3: 5/5 hp - Grappling Dunkel
Stirge 2: DOWN (mortally wounded by Jonas' whistle)
Stirge 1: DEAD (cleaved by Dunkel)
AC/touch AC = 16 (12 while grappling)
CMD = 9

Mystie: 34/34 hp
Hawk: 26/26 hp
Wahyu: 14/14 hp, -1 CON
Cruendithas: 16/16 hp, -1 CON
Dunkel: 9/9 hp, -2 CON, Grappled by Stirge 3
Joren: 10/10 hp
Jonas: 31/31 hp
(Rawhide: 13/13 hp, -1 CON)
Note: Reductions in max hp due to CON loss are accounted for.

Note: The low walls leading into the stable with the giant birds are easy to get across. Just pay 1 extra square of movement. Alternatively, Acrobatics DC 12 will let you avoid paying this extra cost entirely.

I think we're all on the same page now. Whole party is up.[/sblock]

[sblock=Map]Note: The stirge in Mystie/Bubba's square has been eliminated, so I just x'd it out.
[/sblock]

 

[Fobok]

Joren starts to bring up his crossbow towards the fleeing stirge, but then changes his mind, seeing that one stirge seems to be settled on Dunkel, within his reach. Lowering his crossbow he turns and reaches out with his free hand, muttering some word under his breath. There's a snapping sound and the creature jolts and twitches and then drops to the ground. "Are you alright?"

[sblock=Casting Shocking Grasp]
Touch attack vs Stirge: 1D20 = [12] = 12

Shocking Grasp spell damage.: 1D6 = [5] = 5
