[LPF] The Inheritance

[Satin Knights]

The cascade of colors washes over the black stripped cattaur without sinking into his skin. The horrendous noise coming from the other one does not faze the outsider either. Instead, Tasanto drops his mighty hammer and lashes out with his mighty paws. The first swings wide of the little creature, but the second lands a solid hit. Slippery, Tasanto is not able to hold on to the creature well enough to lean in for a bite as well. Nearly bouncing on his toes, Tasanto prepares to counterstrike as well when the horse heads attack. He calls out the obvious "Found something!"

Thuvian ignores the annoying sound of the creatures, as he intently studies them to try to identify them while he lobs a small acid ball at one not directly engaged with Tasanto.

[GlassEye]

Tasanto's attack does serious damage and Mister Dickens adds to the hurt on the horse-head creature though it still hovers between Tasanto, Cavernous Hode, and Mister Dickens.

Damaris recognizes the creature from horrible tales she thought were designed to scare children. It appears the Sagari, such as they are called, are not a fabrication of tale-tellers but real. The creatures are extremely agile in flight and their bite, whip-like attacks with their tentacles, and the baleful whinny they emit are dangerous to those who are weak or unprepared for the assault. The spray of colors, however, was never mentioned in the tales she heard.

Unfortunately, Thuvian isn't as well-informed about this creature as Damaris. His flick of acid splashes the open creature and its tentacle writhes as patches of skin slowly dissolve under the effect of the acid.

Tyrion's attack splits the creature into two pieces and both fall to the tiled floor with a sickening splatter of entrails.

The remaining Sagari seems agitated by Damaris' song though since it can't get to the bard it darts about Cavernous Hode's head snapping at his ears with teeth and tail. The nipping teeth miss but the tail-tentacle lashes a red welt across the dwarf's cheek.

With the sound of stone grinding on stone the two female statues at the end of the hall wrench themselves from their pedestals and lumber forward. The stone seeming swords that they bear transmute from stone to metal as they move. The first steps up to Tasanto and brings the sword around in a cumbersome swing that somehow catches the cattaur on the shoulder with a minor wound.

Tyrion is luckier and manages to avoid the attack of the one that swings on him.

[Satin Knights]

Sidestepping to begrudgingly help the rat, or more so use its help in distraction, Tasanto focuses on the soft fleshy opponent first. The first claw scrapes across the mural instead of the horse head. But with the second claw, Tasanto gets his prey and pulls it in. With a mighty chomp, the creature goes limp and Tasanto spits it out onto the floor.

[section]

[sblock=actions] 5' step to L6
full attack: claw attack with IC on Sargasi (1d20+6+1=11) fails even with forgotten +2 from flank
second claw attack on Sargasi with IC and flank (1d20+6+1+2=21) hits for damage + shock + IC (1d4+2+1d6+1=8)
bite attack + IC + flank on Sargasi (1d20+6+1+2=24) hits for damage + shock + IC (1d6+2+1d6+1=11)

I forgot the Dirty Fighter trait. +1 damage each time brings it to 21 damage to the sargasi knocking it at least unconscious.
Kn Arcana to identify statues (1d20+5=20) to be official. The player knows to be afraid of them. He used them as a GM.

With both Sagari now dead the group can focus on the animated, woman-warrior statues.

[sblock=K (arcana) DC 13]The woman-warrior statues are known as Caryatid Columns. Constructed of stone they are resistant to weapon damage (DR 5/--).
[sblock=K (arcana) DC 18]In addition to being difficult to damage, the dense stone that makes up the Caryatid Column is highly damaging to weapons. Attacks made against the Caryatid Column have a good chance of causing the weapon to break (gain Broken quality; -2 attack/damage, crit only on 20 for x2).
[sblock=K (arcana) DC 23]The stone of the Caryatid Column's body is also highly resistant to magic (many magic immunities).[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]

 

[soulnova]

"♪ Guys, careful with your weapons,
they break easy against these things.
They are hard as rock wall.
You can try it if you want,
Claws and fangs might do,
They are also resistant to magic;
better use acid arrows and the like
while I buy us some time♫
Would be easy if they could simply... FALL!"

She keeps going with Inspire Courage and casts Grease centered behind both statues, to make them difficult to move and attack (and avoiding her comrades, of course).



[sblock=Combat]
K.Arcana1d20+7=26

Grease at I9 or where she can avoid both Tasanto and Tyrion.

Damaris hopes Thuvian or Tasanto have Acid Arrow and other magic that doesn't provide Spell Resistance checks. Otherwise mending will be required a lot in the morning. LOL

Maybe we can use the sword we found to make some damage. Surely it wasn't coincidence we found it there.

She's not sure what will happen to natural weapons. Would they do damage to the person/animal instead? Or simply doesn't apply.
