[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

OOC: Alexi delayed, not readied an action, as she would surely have to move and cast to get any decent effect.

Hearing the suggestion to fall back and seeing no opening to apply her spell within the narrow corridor, Alexi moves 15' back and to the left into the western corridor, waiting at the corner.

[Kerith had his rapier out already as he rounded the corner, didn't he? So he can't shoot over Gertrude, as he doesn't have crossbow ready.]

Kerith steps into Gertrude's square ahead of him and attempts to run his rapier through the space between armored segments on the huge monstrous centipede. [Normal attack action.]

"We're fine! Find yourselves some space behind! We'll lead it into you!"

Michelle flings another bolt(Magic Missile) at the same beast, then moves backwards the way they came from. "Good idea, Kerith! Anything to get away from those disgusting beasts."

Argh! Too late to retreat! Oren, can you inspire us with your song?

Oren, at first confused and then amused, considers for a moment delivering a rousing rendition of one of the few back-room ballads he can remember, but he decides instead to let it go -- after all, he may have simply misheard.. Nonetheless, he is smirking as he begins to backpedal, hopefully drawing the centipedes to one of the other rooms, where the whole group can take shots at them.
 

Ok, lets see if I can figure out who's retreating properly....

Xendengalis: You shout, "Argh! Too late to retreat! Oren, can you inspire us with your song?," and "Grenades, if you have 'em!," since the ceiling is about 12' high, there is room for careful tossing.

Kerith: You crowd into Gertrude's space (I think we had decided that you could do that, but I'll impose slight penalties since you are trying to not injure or trip over the dog while you're fighting) and thrust at the big centipede, and ichor oozes out of a new wound in it's side.

Blackwing: Very well.

Huge Monstrous Centipede: bites Norynth, sinking its slimy fangs deep into his calf. The damage is minor, but Norynth finds himself once again fighting off poison.

Gertrude: Barks loudly at the bug as it injures her master, and leaps forward, but again her teeth have trouble getting past the creature's natural armor.

Norynth: (It's impossible to arrange a flanking position from where you are) You make a jab at the thing, missing, and step back 5' into Titus' square, calling out: 'I think that I have had quite enough of these giant scuttlers. Oh for some Goblin to break the monotony, eh Titus!?!"

Alexi: you move back to wait at the corner.

Michelle: You toss off another Missile and then move back down the corridor the way you came.

Medium Monstrous Centipedes: Most of these are milling around behind the front line, eager for a chance to feed. The one that can reach Gertrude attacks her, hitting for minor damage, and making her yelp with pain.

Oren: After a few moments of amused confusion at Xengendalis, you follow Michelle and Alexi back down the corridor.

Titus: seems interested in the prospect of fighting goblins, Titus remembers his directive to guard Alexi and takes off after her down the corridor.

Foran: You retreat as far as you can toward the fungus-room, (double move).

(OOC: Map coming later today)
 

Xendengalis

OOC If I understand this right, the space in front of Xendengalis is free (Kerith moved up into Gertrude's space), and the space where Norynth was is also free (Norynth retreated). If this is true...

Xendengalis moves forward and diagonally, to be next to Kerith, and swings his mace at the big centipede. Too bad Gertrude's not up front, he thinks.

Edit: If Kerith and he could finish off the big guy, the little bugs weren't so tough. They could probably be taken out from a distance with grenades, if Kerith and he held the line, protecting the grenade throwers. Sigh, looks like everyone's running away though.

Sensing confusion in the group and thinking how far the fungus room is:

If you retreat, retreat to the intersection. Kerith and I can hold them off until you're ready.

IC: Norynth tries to flank the massive insect, keeping opposite of where Gert is biting at the thing.Falling back slowly (5 feet a round if that doesn't provoke an AofOp), he will try and move the front line back in an attempt to 'fall back' as Kerith had called out to do.[/COLOR]

QUOTE]

OoC:What I meant was that I was falling back if Kerith was falling back (as he called out),the map suggested that I was 5 feet ahead of Kerith. If he moves forward instead, there is no need for me to fall back. Either way...

IC: Norynth continues to hack at whatever centipedes are at hand, as does gert, the mastiff now really sure that she doesn't like giant insects...
 

Alexi waits at the corner, if the guys would fall back into the intersection, she would be able to blast the pursuiting centipedes with a Burning Hands spell. She readies one of her prepared spells to get off at an opportunity where she can hit at least two of them and no friend.
