Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

[silentspace]

Invelion notices the others lowering their weapons waiting for Invelion to attack.

Perhaps their weapons are not needed. A killing fog should kill all small creatures, and the mass appears to be a collection of small leeches. Very well, let's see if my magic alone is enough to vanquish this enemy of the Grippli.

*Invelion raises his arms and utters arcane words of power. The air in the chamber seems to glow with a yellow light, as greenish vapors appear, swirling about, filling the chamber.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Invellion intones thick, poisonous-sounding words and undulates his hands forward, as an evil-smelling mist billows forth from him and fills the chamber. The pile of leeches writhe and some seem to wilt in the poison, though it looks far from dead. However, you can see even now the level of the cloud beginning to go down, draining through some kind of unseen hole in the floor.*

*Mad Harry fires his hand crossbow, but the bolt flies wide, to his annoyance. Erik has no ranged weapons, and so he waits, while Tiana fires her shortbow and Doran throws a dagger, both arrows and the dagger striking the thing hard. Undinar bends his aquatic longbow to the task and fires another couple of arrows deep into the abomination. Mourn hurls his little ball of sulfur and bat guano right at the thing, where it explodes into fiery fury. Strangely enough the thing seems to flatted out at the last second and dodge part of it, but it now looks badly singed. It begins to writhe and form a large mound of leeches, that is now slowly moving toward you.*

[OOC: Initiative
Harry - 31
Erik - 25
Tiana - 24
Doran - 22
Jarrijan - 19
Undinar - 17
Rappai - 16
Mourn - 15
Leech-thing - 4
Invelion - 3

Invellion's spell drains 2 points of Con from the thing, (it made its Fort save with a 36 to halve the damage from 4 points of Con). Mad Harry rolls a 1. Erik delays. Tiana hits with a 27 and a 26 for a total of 11 points of damage. Doran hits with a 21 for 3 points of damage with a dagger. Jarrijan delays. Undinar fires and hits a 23 and a 14 for a total of 21 points of damage. Rappai waits. Mourn unleashes fiery death that that leech thing makes its Reflex save on with a 24, taking 18 (half of 36) points of fire damage. Now back at the top of the round.]

The poison cloud failed to kill it... the sum is greater than the parts. Well, let's see how much more damage it can take.

*Invelion moves backwards, and hurls another fireball at the creature*

OOC - As Invelion goes last, there's a high probability that there will be party members in the fireball range before it's your turn. What would be an alternate course of action if this occurs?

 

[Zerth]

*Tiana drops the shortbow and wields her whip dagger getting ready for a leech attack.*

"Hey big boys, let's keep the slimy worms away from the casters!" she shouts to Erik, Doran and Undinar.

(OOC: Ready action to strike at the first leech, that comes within 15 feet of her. She will fight defensively, +14 to hit (+18-4), damage 1d6+5, 17-20 x2. AC 22 (23 with dodge), HP 87/87.)

In that case he will cast Magic Missile

Rappai, Grippli Cleric/Divine Oracle (Jarrijan, Grippli Monk)

Rappai looked at the leech creature and wondered when leeches started moving so fast. She truly wasn’t ready with her devotions to battle the beast – if this truly was the beast. Her prayers to Is-aycha were primarily to be supportive to Jarrijan in case anything emerged from the hole.

But she did have a few powers available, and she decided to start now. She told Jarrijan, “Defend yourself, defend you and Rappai.” Then Rappai began to extol the virtues of Is-aycha, her patron goddess.

OOC: Jarrijan fight defensively (+5/+0 Kukri 1d4+2 dmg, AC: 28), Rappai cast Recitation: +2 luck bonus to attacks and saves for allies, -2 luck bonus to enemies to attacks and saves, (+3 for worshippers of Is-aycha), duration 10 rds.

 

[Jarval]

"Surprisingly nimble for a ball of leeches..." Mourn sounds mildly worried at the creature having survived his fireball. He starts another spell, this time calling in a creature from aFar.


(OoC: Casting Summon Monster IV to call a pseudonatural hell hound. Mourn also has the Augment Summoning feat.)

 

[Lichtenhart]

OOC: Errr... What about Harry? He didn't fire his crossbow? Didn't Tiana use a short bow rather than a crossbow?

*Harry quickly stuff his crossbow back on his knapsack, and runs toward the creature, waiting the last moment before somersaulting above the mound of leeches and landing at the opposite side, his cutlass in hand.*
"You.. ugly sinister beast, prepare to meet thy doom" he says waiting for someone to attack from the other side before flanking the crawling mass, and plunging his golden sword deep into it.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - Jarval, I need the stats for your summoned creature. Lichtenhart, my bad, and corrected above. Still waiting on Erekose.
