Of Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths

[Keia]

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

Rappai was both pleased and troubled . . . she had hoped that Killhaven would flee from the sudden and heavy assault, instead it looked like he wanted to stay and fight. He appeared heavily injured and Rappai did not want the creature to die - his presense was necessary in the jungle.

But when Killhaven bit into one of the tall ones, her decision was made. Noting that the area appeared wet enough, Rappai called on Is-aycha for holy fire from the heavens.

OOC: Flame strike (DC 22) on Killhaven, avoiding Invelion and Jarrijan if possible.

 

[Lichtenhart]

OOC: Don't I catch him flat-footed (and thus deal sneak attack damage with that shot)? or am I more than 30' away?

*Taking the cue from Tiana, Mad Harry stuffs his crossbow away and rushes forward too.*
"Hey, Sharky, no one gullets down one o' my mateys while Mad Harry's in town."
*In a moment Harry looks at the way Jarrijan is pummeling at the beast's left leg, observes the way the paw moves and the single moment when its hide stretches over his knee tendon: the moment he'll try to strike.
He tumbles around the beast, aiming at its right leg, and with a swift movement he draws Sunset's Edge and swings it in a wide arch, in the attempt to lame the dinosaur.*

*Jarrijan continues his assault on Killhaven's leg, attempting to strike a vital nerve. He goes wide-eyed as Mourn's fireball comes roaring down just above his head. Killhaven, now sensitized to strange effects coming from above whirls far more quickly than anything that large has a right to, dodging the worst of it. Harry bounds between Killhaven's leg, ducking out of the way of the massive beast's jaws, and slices Sunset's Edge along the dinosaur's heel. He can't cut through the massive tendon in a single swipe though, but does open up another bleeding wound on the huge beast.*

*From above, heavenly fire, like that of a massive volcano roars down on top of Killhaven. Again he dodges to the side, but burns now cover most of his hide. Tiana prepares herself for battle, quickening herself and drawing her favored whip dagger. Invellion concentrates hard, weaving magic around the pain, and abruptly finds himself several hundred feet above the battleground. And then he starts to fall. Fast.*

*Killhaven has clearly had enough with the blasts of fire erupting all around him, and with a final roar of rage and frustration, he retreats into the jungle. Undinar slowly lowers his bow as their foe departs the field of battle.*

*Jarrijan leaps from Killhaven's leg onto a tree trunk, and then back down to the ground. His eyes are very wide, and his skin looks dry and scorched.*

Jarrijan hits twice for 12 points of damage. Mourn's fireball hits for 31 points of fire damage, but Killhaven makes his save and only takes 15. Harry successfully Tumbles and hits once for 3 points of damage. Rappai's flamestrike hits for 36 points of damage, but Killhaven makes his save and takes only 18. Tiana does a lot of stuff. Invellion finds himself very high in the air (endurance gives you +4 Con, you got a 36 on your Concentration check). Killhaven runs away. Undinar holds his action.]

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

Rappai was relieved that Killhaven was retreating. It would be some time before the rex could come after them, and hopefully she and the tall ones would be long gone.

Seeing Jarrijan in his condition, Rappai flew down to him and immediately invoked a Faith Healing on him, calling out Is-aycha's name to aid those who look to her for strength. She then (if necessary) converted Remove Blindness to help him as well.

"Rappai is sorry, Jarrijan, if Rappai caught you in the fires of Is-aycha, she is," Rappai said, "Rappai did not see you were still with the creature, you were. Allow Rappai to soothe your injuries . . . "

Invelion swoops down past Mourn and pursues the T-Rex. Hovering a few hundred feet above it, he casts another Fireball at the fleeing creature.

[How damaged is it? If Invelion thinks they can slay it and save the jungle dwarves from future threat, Invelion will call to Mourn to pursue it together, bombarding it with fireballs from above.]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*How is Invelion swooping? By which manner is he flying? Killhaven does look badly hurt indeed. Rappai, Jarrijan doesn't seem actually hurt or blind, just a bit dried out and astonished.*

"Never been so close before, to Killhaven or such fires. Never!" he exclaims, and then dumps his waterskin over himself to ease his dry skin.

 

[Zerth]

*Tiana lets out a big sigh in relief and deactivates the haste effect.*

"Whew! I'm glad Killhaven had enough. No easy meals today!"

 

[Keia]

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

"Never been so close before, to Killhaven or such fires. Never!" he exclaims, and then dumps his waterskin over himself to ease his dry skin.

Relief clearly showed within Rappai's eyes, "Rappai was worried . . . ," then she noticed the mages preparing to give chase, "Tall One!! Come here and I will treat your injuries - You've done well chasing the great one."

 

[Jarval]

Noting Invelion's rapid decent, Mourn turns his broom and flies up towards him, trying to get into a position to catch the mage if needed.

"An interesting tactic, but perhaps straight up wasn't the best choice of directions to go in..." He calls out.

 

[silentspace]

OOC: Sorry. Invelion is using his Carpet of Flying (speed 210). His character sheet: 'He is almost always flying, staying out of range of melee threats.' If in this situation he wasn't flying, then he would have dimension doored to the ground out of range of melee threats, and then flew.
