[LPF] The Devil We Know, Part 2

[jbear]

Maui slaps a paw across his nose, ears pinned back, eyes closed in disbelief. A most curiously human gesture in his feline form. If only he had have been capable of speaking to let his intention be known. He finishes his prayer to Maui who replies with the gift of a new and even more ferocious form. The king of cats upon the remote jungle island where he was born. His muscles rippled and stretched as he ordered Taniwha to attack any enemies upstairs. His fangs grew, his claws too. And soon where a leopard once stood now stands the hulking form of a dire tiger. Maui then padded up to the top of the stairs to take a look at what they faced. With a growl he tells Taniwha to follow him and guard him. His cheetah companion does just that, teeth bared and at the ready to bite should anyone approach with aggressive intent.

GM: Yeah, Lem is going to trigger combat by moving out on deck. I granted him a full Move Action, before I roll initiative, but that's it. Galandra cannot shoot before Initiative gets rolled either, but you can keep the rolls themselves for Round 1 if you still want to. I am still needing actions from Menik and Vincenzo (if Scott is actually going to play the encounter).

Actual Updated Map

Menik will follow the others to the deck upstairs. If he sees the woman and she looks like a real threat, he'll use Ear-Piercing Scream.

[sblock=Pearl]Using a Pearl of Power restores an already-cast spell of the appropriate level, which can then be cast again later. As a command-activated item, using it is a standard action so it is not very useful during combat, as the spell itself can't be cast in the same round. However, Menik has already used the Pearl to restore an EPS, having had plenty of time to do so.[/sblock]

GM: @Scott DeWar, I am ready to move forward to include Vincenzo if you are able to catch up. If you can post IC, that would be good and I can advance the scene tonight. If you cannot get your level up approved before combat starts, Vincenzo can be 5th level for the encounter. But fighter levels are easy to approve so I think you have time to do it, because I think the rest of the party is trying to delay the start of combat to let Maui cast a bunch of spells.

FYI: I will respond on this thread finally!

 

[perrinmiller]

GM: I approved Vincenzo's level up. I just need his IC posted actions and we can proceed. Thanks kinem. Go ahead and update to map with Menik's movement if he going head up the stairs before combat kicks off.

[sblock] YAY! Good to know!! [/sblock]

 

[kinem]

ooc: I moved Menik to Y36, assuming he could see what's on deck from there.

~ Aboard the Prancing Prince: 19 Minutes after sunset ~

As soon as a few of you step out onto the deck, immediately the woman sees something is wrong. "What the fook are you doing here. Intruders! Orcs!"

Lem sees a rather pissed off looking woman holding a heavy flail in hand, glowing with light as if by magic. She is wearing half-plate armor. All around are six shambling corpses that used to be human or a race very similar in appearance. Hard to say for sure in the dimness and missing flesh.

The walking dead start moving towards you!
