Paridon: The Dark Metropolis (Ravenloft)

[Rhun]

"Ru!" calls Perrin, "You seem to be the only one cable of hurting her! Go for the kill!" The ranger ducks low, and tries to hook another of the construct's legs with his axe to keep her off balance for Ru's strikes.

AC: 17, HP 36/42

Battleaxe +8, damage 1d8+4/x3 + Distracting Strike (successful hit effectively flanks the enemy, giving +2 to hit)

[sblock=OOC]From your description, it sounds like the creature is about to "eat" Callahan, for a lack of better terms. Is that accurate? Darian will have some conflicting emotions about that one...

Also, I can't remember, where's Ada's father during all this?

[sblock=OOC]Certainly Calahan is in a bad place right now. Eat, drain, dismember, whatever's particularly gruesome.

Ada's father is hiding somewhere in the clock.

[sblock=OOC]Can Calahan move and attack/is he still on the spider woman's back?[/sblock]

Ru Brike, barbaric human monk

Ru charges in, driving the sword deep into the central body. He braces for the coming spray, which proves to be light (-2hp). Light pours forth from the wound, the heat of fire and alchemy and life. Something pulsates within. Before Ru can get too close, however, a leg (pedipalp? Armature?) descends upon him, striking him and draining some blood from him (-5hp).

Ru cries out in pain, blood pounding even as the construct drains some of it. He feels it, bubbling behind his eyes, eating away at his reason and compassion: anger and fear and a primal need to kill whatever threatens him, tear its heart out and revel in its death. He tries to push it back with a weakening resolve, and instead focuses on whatever is pulsing within Ada. If he can pierce whatever arcane element this thing calls a heart, perhaps they might all live through this. Once again, Ru stabs the bronze sword into Ada with all the power his arms can muster.

[sblock=OOC]Calahan is on the spider-woman's back, essentially Grappled. However, he can still use his kukri.[/sblock]

That pyromaniac's done more harm then good, as usual. Can we save him? Father Berman considers his options. He decides to try distracting the constuct again, hoping Ru can take it down before it's too late.

[sblock=ooc]I believe the prayer spell is still in effect, which gives everyone +1 to hit.

Aid another, +5 vs AC 10 to give Ru +2 to hit.[/sblock]

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Calahan will not hesitate to act.

If I am going to die here, it won't be without a fight!

Grabbing the abomination's neck with one hand, Calahan will try to stabb it with his kukri one and another time, if only to distract the spider from the others...

Perrin and Fr. Berman once again manage to make a large opening for Ru. Perrin eve manages to cut through a joint, toppling one of the legs, and letting forth a sanguine spray (-4hp). Ru, for his part, summons up his will and performs yet another gruesome gash against Ada's furnace, opening into the main chamber with a geyser (-6hp).

Darian shakes his head, pulls out his real whip and tries to hook one of the blades headed for Calahan. He succeeds in giving him an opening. As Calahan grasps for Ada's neck, looking for an opening, Darian's whip holds off Ada's multiserrated face long enough to keep it from carving into Calahan--for now.

Ru looks into the heart of the beast. With any luck, one more solid blow should be all it needs, as long as Ada cannot replenish herself with Calahan.
