Blinking in surprise, Arak stands up, and defending himself, attempts to thread his way between Dowlee and Jon.

OOC: Arak still has his potion, as do Remen and Dowlee.

COMBAT ROUND 7

Liracor struggles mightily with the rag creature that now grips his limbs, but cannot free himself from its grasp. To the contrary, the rags only get a tighter hold on the duskblade, as they entwine his arms, legs, and face, completely covering him now!

Dowlee prays again to Ehlonna, this time for the healing of her friend Arak. The blood flowing from the back of his head stops, and his eyes flutter open! He takes a moment to get ahold of himself, and assess the situation. Then, with a firm grip on his greatsword to ward off any attacks, he begins to get to his feet. The nearby rags snap out at him as he struggles to rise, but he bats them away with his blade! Unsteadlily, he steps around Jon, trying to ignore the pain throbbing in his head.

Flannad considers hurling his flask of alchemist's fire, but sees that it would endanger his beleaguered friends. Instead, he sheathes his short sword, then stoops to pick up the torch that lays flickering on the floor where Jon dropped it.

The other animated rag pile slips past Remen's defenses, grabbing ahold of his wrists despite his furious struggles. Jon tries to help by batting at the rags with his club, but his attack is ineffectual. Remen, then, lets a loud roar of rage and with a great effort, tears himself free of the filthy thing's grasp.

Remen - Raging (2 Rounds remain)
Jon - Inertial Armor


ROUND 7 SUMMARY
[sblock]
1. Liracor tries to escape his grapple with Raggmoffyn #2, Rolls 9. Rag. rolls 9, it's a tie. Liracor rerolls 3, Rag. rerolls 3. Another tie! Liracor rerolls 10, Rag. rerolls 20! The raggamoffyn wins the check, and Liracor can't escape the grapple.

2. Dowlee casts CLW on Arak, healing him of 4 points of damage, bringing him to a whopping 1 hp! (Dowlee has no more 1st level spells left!)

3. Arak goes into Total Defense (+4 AC bonus), then stands from prone. Raggamoffyn #1 makes an AOO with its Slam (+4 bonus because Arak is prone). Rolls 5, misses! Arak then takes a 5' step to the northwest.

4. Raggamoffyn #2 Wraps around Liracor, as a standard action. (Any attacks made against the raggamoffyn now will also damage Liracor).

5. Flannad sheathes his short sword, then picks up the torch from where Jon dropped it. (Legildur, since Flannad couldn't throw his alchemist's fire at either of the raggamoffyns without endangering other party members, I went with this option. Let me know if that's different than what you intended, and I'll modify as needed.)

6. Raggamoyffyn #1 initiates a grapple with Remen (does not draw AOO). Makes touch attack, rolls 13, hits. Opposed grapple check...Rag. rolls 19, Remen rolls 5. The grapple is successful!

7. Jon makes a 5' step, attack Raggamoffyn #1 with club. Rolls 9, misses. (I wasn't sure what else to have Jon do, stonegod. I figured he probably didn't want to voluntarily enter the grapple.)

8. Remen (raging) tries to escape his grapple. Opposed grapple check: Remen rolls 12, Rag. rolls 2. Remen escapes![/sblock]

ACTIONS FOR ROUND 8 PLEASE?

 

[stonegod]

Jon grits his teeth, fighting the panic attack that almost overcame him as the rags entangled Remen. He continue to try to distract the rags while aiding the swordsman. Fall, curse you! Fall!

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

"Thank Cuthbert for his gift of foresight." Arak cracks the seal of his healing potion and chugs it quickly, eyeing the dancing rags.
[sblock=ooc]If it's possible to drink a potion defensively -- I didn't see anything suggesting this was possible or otherwise -- Arak is.[/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

Seeing the rags busy with Liracor, Flannad lunges in and puts the torch to them! (ooc: Gee I hope that doesn't end badly for Liracor)

OOC: Whizbang, as long as the rags are grappling Liracor, they don't threaten Arak, so there won't be any AOOs unless Liracor breaks free. And, if that does happen, he can always taks a 5' step to a safe square before drinking.

COMBAT ROUND 8

Liracor, now desperate to free himself from the entwining rags before something worse happens, thrashes about wildly, and somehow manages to extricate himself from the entangling mass. The rags try to reclaim their hold on the duskblade, but with newfound strength, Liracor pulls away once again. Flannad, hoping to exploit a possible vulnerability, approaches and swings awkwardly at the rags with his torch, but the floating rags evade his attack.

Dowlee, out of other options, takes a step, and fires an arrow at the nearest rag pile. It's not a good shot, as Arak is in the way, and her arrow is off the mark. Arak, meanwhile, steps out of reach of the swirling rags, and, retrieving the potion given to him by Jenya, drinks with a prayer of thanks to St. Cuthbert in his heart. He feels his cuts and bruises all healing, and within moments he feels as though he has slept for a week, refreshed and healed.

The other rag creature makes another effort to ensnare Remen in its clutches, but the barbarian, still enraged, yanks his limbs free of its clutches. With Jon still supporting him, Remen savagely slices at the rags again, shredding still more of the rag's strands. At last, unable to sustain its cohesion any more, the slashed and shredded rag thing stops moving, and settles harmlessly to the stone floor.

2. Dowlee takes a 5' step, and fires an arrow at Raggamoffyn #2 (This isn't the optimal space for her to shoot from, but I figured she probably didn't want to take an AOO). She rolls a 5 (-4 for firing into melee, plus Arak is providing the Raggamoffyn with cover.) The arrow misses badly.

4. Raggamoffyn #2 tries to restablish its grapple with Liracor, making a touch attack first (No AOO allowed) Rolls 12, hits. Opposed grapple: Rag. rolls 19...Liracor rolls 20! Liracor wins, no grapple this time.

5. Flannad takes a 5' step, makes a melee attack with the torch vs. Rag.#2 (-4 for using an improvised weapon). Rolls 17, misses.

6. Raggamoffyn tries to grapple Remen...Touch attack roll is 8. Hits! Opposed grapple, Rag. rolls 5, Remen rolls 8. Remen wins, no grapple.

7. Jon uses Aid Another to help Remen's attack. Rolls 17, succeeds.

8. Remen (Raging, Aid Another) attack Raggamoffyn #1 with Scimitar. Rolls 13, Hits! Damage roll is 8. Raggamoffyn #1 is destroyed, finally![/sblock]

 

[stonegod]

The Voices seem to be jubilant as the tide of battle begins to turn. Jon, eager not to get in the way of the warriors, moves to the entrance of the corridor to ensure that the noise of battle has not drawn any unwanted attention.

 

[Legildur]

Flannad continues to try and fry the rags with the torch.
