[LPF] Scourge of the Howling Horde

[perrinmiller]

The drake is lightly damaged from the bomb, as the rest of your efforts are ineffective in damaging the dragon-like creature. It banks and focuses on Iago as it lands next to him. The snapping jaws narrowly miss the half-orc.

OOC: Combat: Round 3

[sblock=Combat Information]Drake missed Iago. It has 10ft reach, BTW.

The Acid Cloud remains for 3 more rounds, acting as a 10-foot-radius obscuring mist but it no longer causes damage.

Updated Map:

Notes:
1. The boulder is impassible terrain without DC10 climb check to spend +10ft movement to get up on.
2. Any undergrowth square with 50% green is +5ft movement and counts as difficult terrain.
3. Brown circles are tree trunks, providing cover. They can be attacked across, but cannot be moved diametrically through.

[Systole]

Boots moves around the drake, drawing its attention, while Sylla steps up and fires again, this time actually hitting the beast.

[sblock]Boots: Move to H23, drawing AoO. Bite with flanking bonus.

Sylla: 5 ft step to H25, fire bow.

Iago tries to choke down his terror as the huge jaws snap just inches from his body. He longs to swallow any of the multiple potions that could save him -- his warding spell, the hobgoblin's anti-acid draught, even the mutagen he brewed. But the creature's long neck and tail make it impossible for Iago to retreat to a safe distance, where he could fumble for a potion flask. Better to press his attack, now that the darkwolf has joined the fray.

He swings his axe in a powerful arc.

Std. Action: Hit with Greataxe.

[sblock=PM]
Unless it is immune to fire, the drake should be on fire (1d6/rnd) per the Explosive bomb.

[sblock=ooc][MENTION=23867]mfloyd3[/MENTION] Boots took the AoO (assuming it doesn't have Combat Reflexes), so you should be good to go.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]
[MENTION=93930]Systole[/MENTION], thanks for the advice, but Iago's thought bubble was really just flavor text. The real reason I didn't spend the action drinking was action economy. I'm hoping we can end the fight in 4-5 rounds, so taking the mutagen is kind of a wash (the increase in damage output will probably not be recouped in the reduced number of attempted strikes). Likewise, Mutagen and Shield won't help with the acid attack and the Acid Resist won't help with the bite, so Iago is going to take damage. Better just to try to end the fight quickly.

We'll see if the logic holds up when Iago's entrails are lining the forest floor.

GM: Made the corrections to my last update. Thanks. Drake at 36dmg, very badly wounded. Agno and Denizel left for the round.

 

[GlassEye]

Agno loses sight of the Drake as it moves towards Iago and is blocked visually by the cloud of acid. As the tengu moves to get a good line of sight on the creature again the undergrowth tugs at his legs. He looks down and rebukes the plants and they cease to hinder him as he moves.

"Where is it? Where is it? Hurrr! I have you now, Dragon!"

His heart beats rapidly, doing a good job of imitating the speed of a hummingbird's as he steps around the back side of a tree trunk and catches sight of the beast. He raises his bow, exhales a prayer to Issolatha and fires. The arrow flies and sticks quivering in the scaly hide of the drake.

[perrinmiller]

The drake is burning, at first not caring for a little bit of flame. It misses the wolf-like creature as it moves past. Then is starts taking wounds front and back, screaming in pain and bleeding. It is almost done for.

Denizel gasp as a bit of divine power slips from him and empowers his allies.

[sblock=OOC]As reported I was out due to PAXEast.

Was there some reason Denizel could not get to I26? If so, I guess I'd like to try to move there now.

Once adjacent, Cure Light Wounds on Sylla from the wand. 7 hp
