North by Northwest, Chapter 3: The Winter of Our Discontent

[Starman]

Cellan and Manakar brace for the ensuing action. "Go, Ghur! We'll get her!" he hollars.

Assuming Ghur gets to the other side of the river and is out of the water, Cellan casts entangle centered on the woman. If Ghur is still in the water, the druid gets his sling out and will fling a stone at her. If Cellan did not cast his spell the first round, he will on his next turn, again assuming Ghur is out of the water. If he has all ready done that or Ghur is not clear, he will again fire off a bullet from his sling.

Zeegra

They sure have weird customs here, but this doesn't seem right either... Zeegra thinks, as all of the sudden the so far peaceful encounter turns into outright combat.

Undecided, what to do now, Zeegra waits to see how the events unfold for the moment.


OOC: Initiative 7 (Zeegra) & 9 (Zottel). Delay to beginning of next round.

Herev

We will poison the water if you will not flee
Shout Herev to water lady.
Without any ranged weapon, Herev runs along the shore to be directly in front of the fluid woman. Readying his Warhammer if she plans to approach him.

Init (1d20+2=7)

Cian Dark Elf Bard

Cian steps forward and readies his crossbow shaking his head at the unfortunate turn of events.

OOC: [sblock]He had a blade out to offer blood, so changing weapons and taking a five foot step this round. Will fire next round.[/sblock]

Round 1
Ghur swims quickly away from his tormentor. Her scream cuts off, and she begins to sing a song that is both beautiful and terrible. It is transfixing. [Will saves] Cellan, Cian, Herev, and Zeegra can shake it off, but the rest of you, including the animals, are far less fortunate and feel the overwhelming urge to move towards her.

Cole, standing on the banks of the river, is the first to step into the icy water, he blinks momentarily, but remains transfixed and continues towards her, the current sweeping him downriver. Meanwhile, Cellan launches an entangle at the woman, and the native plantlife of the area, on both the shores and, any straggling plants in the water, shoot out and start to twitch, grabbing at any thing that moves. As Cellan does this, Manakar leaps into the water, and, before he can even start to swim, is swept downstream and into the mess of plants and water. Zottel follows to the same result.

Cian steps forward and draws his crossbow, as his guard dog hops into the river; as the wolf and riding dog before him, Keita cannot resist the current. Herev rushes down the bank until he's nearer to the woman, while Zeegra continues to delay until the beginning of the next round.

Conditions
Ghur, Cole, Manakar, Zottel, and Keita: Beguiled
Water fey unwounded

[sblock]I think conditions have changed sufficiently to warrant a change of actions from what you've previously posted. It may seem that the entangle is unfortunate, but it will, at the very least, keep the beguiled people in the river from floating too far downstream.[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Cian Dark Elf Bard

Cian takes aim with his crossbow and fires (1d20+5=23) at the beguiling fey. "You wanted our blood, but force us to spill your blood in the water."
OOC: [sblock]Damage (1d10=1) I don't suppose the fey's beguiling is sound based?[/sblock]

 

[Thanee]

Zeegra

“Zottel, stop!” Zeegra calls out, but the enchanted dog doesn't listen.

With a snarling sound, the canis kobols fixes the water fey and conjures up a cloud of bright glittering particles around her.


OOC: At the beginning of the round (Initiative 21)... Cast Glitterdust, catching only the fey if possible.

[sblock]Scotley: Yes, it is.[/sblock]

Cian Dark Elf Bard

"You try my patience madam," Cian says to the fey. He begins to sing (Perform Check) (1d20+9=16) in a surprisingly powerful and rich voice given his aged and frail seeming frame. He sings with rising power trying to overcome the power of the begiling song.
