Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Pitchwife]

As soon as Ada moves out, Jarem will attempt to put himself between her and the spider.

"It's up? Down? Where am I looking?"

 

[Voadam]

Vanden grips the dragon's carved horn and begins turning counterclockwise. About halfway through the spins, he feels a slight hitch and hears the twanging vibration of some mechanism.

Darts fire from concealed holes within the crannies of the carved dragon skull, spraying out in all directions. Vanden, Garn and Maugra all exclaim in pain as the ancient darts find soft flesh.

[sblock=ooc]Vanden and Maugra take 2 points of damage, Garn takes 4.[/sblock]

"Son of an ogre!" Garn lets out a string profanity.

 

[Trollbabe]

Standing in the hallway outside the mist Garnet again calls to his allies. "Garn? Is everything alright in there?" He looks back over his shoulder making sure the hall is still safe.

 

[Voadam]

"!@#$ing dragon spike trap. I feel like a manticore's lunchmeat bleeding into the mist here. I hate traps."

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Vanden tears a strip of cloth from the hem of his robe, and uses it to bind the most free-flowing puncture.

He reaches for the dragon's horn once more- "As the old expression goes, 'in for a copper...'". He will continue to turn the horn through the number of rotations he estimated.

 

[Voadam]

"I'd rather go to a Jodanian choir service than stand around for this again. Gods your suicidal." Garn heads back out of the room while Vanden insists on pushing the mechanically trapped dragon fountain.

 

[Trench]

"Up. Its coming down to the open doorway. Let's squish this thing quick."

Ada will attack and try to flank the spider at the doorway with Jarrem if possible.

"Up. Its coming down to the open doorway. Let's squish this thing quick."

Ada will attack and try to flank the spider at the doorway with Jarem if possible.

Jarem's on the same page. Just to clarify, he is one-handing the bastard sword and using his shield.

 

[Erekose13]

Maugra will do her best to seal wounds that are bleeding, tearing a strip of cloth to staunch the bloodflow. She'll use Tuen's blessing if required, starting with the half-orc who seems to be bleeding the worst.

(ooc: start with Garn. Heal +6 (-2? for no healing kit, doh!) if that doesn't work, swap Assess Creature for Cure Minor)

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

As Maugra follows Garn out of the mist, trying to stop his bleeding, Vanden turns the horn again. Again, about halfway through his count of turns, darts fire out of the skull, but this time, they disappear harmlessly in the mist.

[sblock=Maugra and Garn]Maugra finally catches up to Garn and stops the bleeding.[/sblock]

Upstairs, there's a flash of black and yellow and suddenly, the spider, screeching and howling, is on Jarem, attempting to bite past the shield and get at his face and neck.

Club, sword and mandibles fail to hit their mark, though, as the young paladin stumbles back against the bar, the spider glued to Jarem's shield.
