pneumatik's WotBS 2 - The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

Thanks, pneumatik.

"It is a (cough, cough) Rast," chokes out Hollister. His tone indicates some concern about this foe. "Don't let it (cough, cough) grab you, it is a (cough, cough, cough) a bloodsucker! And avoid (cough, cough) its paralytic gaze!"

"Hmm.. how do you know his name is Rast?" Shaylir asks looking at the poor wizard and wondering if she should try and help him with that cough.

"And what else was that I'm sorry, the cough is making it hard to understand you. Do you need some water?"
 

Shaylir readies her shield and loads a bullet in her sling.

Liiros draws and arrow and readies to shoot the rast when it approaches. It does, but Liiros' shot goes wide.

The rast swoops down on Hollister and bites him for 11 damage. It wraps its many legs around him, grappling him.


ooc: Everyone goes now. Hollister is nauseated this round, so he can only try to take a single move action. He's grappling, though, so that means he can't do anything except maybe talk or something.
 


"Whoa!.. Hey now get off him!" Shaylir shouts as the Rast swoops over her head to land on Hollister. Dropping her sling and then running up to grab the creature by two of it's long thin legs she tries to help "pry" the mage out.

[sblock=Actions]
I wish to see if I can aid another giving them a +2 bonus to their grapple or Esacpe Artist check to get out of a grapple. If not then Shaylir is joining in (both done by grabbing it's legs)

Roll = 1d20 = 15
Modifiers:
to aid another = +1 (if not an allowed action then joining in)
to join the grapple = -3 (Rast makes opposed check to stop her from joining, also this action provokes no AoO and is an auto hit with the touch attack)

Liiros Tivaniel, Elven Crusader of Corellon Larethian

Liiros curses quietly and drops his bow, drawing the heavy old greatsword he found in the cave near the dead priest some time back. The elf steps up to the many-limbed monster as he does so, taking a mighty chop with the heavy blade! Hoping that it will slay this beast faster than his finely-made elven longsword, thanks to its greater size and weight....... "Release our comrade, fiend!"

As the elf moves in and strikes, he says "Worry not, Hollister, Corellon's grace will save you!" as he channels Corellon's blessings into a surge of vitality within Hollister.

[sblock=OOC for All]Swift action to enter my Martial Spirit stance. Move action to draw greatsword while moving up to the creature by Hollister. Standard to attack with Crusader's Strike against the Rast. Healing Hollister in the process if successful.

Got a 22 to-hit, for 12 damage to the Rast (but these rolls do not count any bonuses the greatsword itself may confer; we never identified the greatsword's quality or magic, if any, so I don't know if it's masterwork or magical, so please apply any such bonuses it may have). Since the Rast is grappling Hollister, it's probably denied a Dex bonus to AC. Healing Hollister for 10 HP if I hit the Rast successfully.
1d20+5=22, 2d6+3=12, 1d6+3+2=10

Granted maneuvers are #4, #3, and #2, so Stone Bones, Mountain Hammer, and Crusader's Strike.
1d5=4, 1d5=3, 1d5=2, 1d5=4, 1d5=1, 1d5=1, 1d5=1, 1d5=3, 1d5=2, 1d5=1

Liiros' Status:
HP 25 / 25
AC 17, touch 11, flat-footed 16 (shield is not equipped, so his AC is 2 lower than usual)
Active Stance: Martial Spirit
Granted Maneuvers: Crusader's Strike*EXPENDED, Stone Bones, Mountain Hammer
Ready Maneuvers: Crusader's Strike (2), Vanguard Strike (5), Charging Minotaur (1), Stone Bones (4), Mountain Hammer (3)
* Maneuvers are numbered alphabetically for rolling granted inspiration
Other Class Features: Furious Counterstrike (1-9: +1), Steely Resolve 5, Indomitable Soul, Zealous Surge 1/day[/sblock]

Hollister screams in pain as the creature's teeth sink into him, holding him fast. Still sick from the fumes, he does his best to draw his dagger, only hoping that his companions can finish the beast off quickly.


Abraxis is pretty much screwed this round, as the single move action doesn't even allow him to escape the grapple. He'll just try to draw his dagger.
 

Lytha

Lytha waited to see what the creature was up to, and she sure regrets not acting more preemptively now. With Hollister and the Rast being so close together in a clinch, her attacks would have a good chance to hit the wrong target, and that was the last thing she wanted at this point.

So, the elf waits and leaves it to the melee-capable members of the group to free the fire mage, staying ready, if the creature would break lose.


OOC: Initiative 17; just delay for now.
 

Arshen sprints up and dives upon the bizarre creature, aiming to hold it fast and prise its legs from their hold upon his companion.


[sblock=OOC]Move up and join the grapple - Grapple Check 1d20+5=14, grapple damage on a hit 1d6+3=6

Designate Rast as Dodge Target, AC vs it is 16.[/sblock]
 

Shaylir grabs a couple of the rast's legs, trying to bend them against their joints with minor success (1 dmg).

Liiros hefts the primitive greatsword before swinging at the rast. He connects with the back of its grotesquely oversized head and the strike releases healing energy to Hollister. Now that fighting has begun the previously unwieldy sword is light and responsive, helping Liiros hit and for more damage.

Hollister empties his stomach onto the ground. Rehydrated trail rations cover his boots, the hem of his robe, and one of the rast's many claws.

Lytha eyes the situation carefully. Doing no good for her companions is better than doing them ill, so she does nothing.

Arshen steps next to Shaylir and grabs an armful of rast legs for himself. They frenetically wiggle out of his grasp before he can do any damage. (20 grapple check)

Seeing that Hollister is nearly healed thanks to Liiros, Torrent draws her heirloom battleaxe. She swings it at the rast, embedding it in the creatures puny body. (5 dmg) "Die, you ... you ... rast!"

The injured rast lets out a high-pitched grinding wail, like scream from a baby with a mouth full of sand and gravel. It lifts Shaylir with its legs and pivots its head to take a mighty bite out of her. (20 grapple check for 8 dmg, Shaylir only opposed with a 17)

Everyone's up again.

[sblock=ooc]Mechanically, Liiros notices that his sword is a +1 weapon. It is also surprisingly light and easy to fight with, despite being a little too heavy and unbalanced to use well up until the fight started.

Shaylir, Hollister, and Arshen are all grappling with the rast. Grapple rules are here.

Hollister tries to escape from the Rast's hold, but the awkward positioning makes it difficult to twist out from the creature's many claws.

Grapple Check: 10
