Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (ToEE) - Part II - CLOSED!

Intermission Post

Kurt applies his wand to Dara and then scouts back down the corridor, while Dara casts her spell, Trevor hides behind the barbarian woman, and Ragnok and Coraine form up with one another. Verdis pulls a flask of alchemist's fire from his pack, and tosses it on to the troll's corpse, setting it aflame. It flares up, crackling and charring nicely.

Kurt reaches the end of the corridor, only to be greeted with a fearsome sight; A crazed and ferocious looking boar of great size rushing toward him from the east:


OOC: I love this pic!


Following behind it is what can only be its keeper: another troll, slaver dripping from its deadly jaw, and its sharp, dirty claws held at the ready:

Combat, round 1 (round 6 since initial combat started)

Trevor moves to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kurt, with sword drawn and ready to engage the approaching enemy.

The boar snorts and charges, seeing the enemy before it. A full ton of ferocious hog slams into Trevor with the force of a battering ram, its tusks ripping into his flesh. The soldier somehow manages to remain on his feet, but is left battered and bleeding, and wondering if rushing to defend a companion is ever worth the beatings he seems to receive at the hands (tusks) of the enemy!

Dara moves behind Kurt and Trevor, ready to step forward, should the need and the opportunity arise. For now, her eyes are trained on the troll, however. Seeing the brute begin lumbering forward toward them, Dara casts her spell, and the troll suddenly disappears behind layers and layers of thick webbing.

"C'mon, c'mon. Get out of the way," the dwarf mutters before launching a hammer at the boar...the weapon clangs loudly as it strikes the wall beyond the boar, cleanly missing.

Seeing the success of Dara's web spell, Kurt invokes his Sacred Purification before thrusting with his longsword at the bore and adjusting his position to make room for the dwarf. The warmth of his healing power flows through his friends, while his blade cuts a minor gash across the boar's snout.

Coraine rushes forward, justling his way past Kurt, his blade high in the air. His haste to strike throws his aim off though, and he misses the powerful hog.

Seeing that the troll is contained for the moment, Verdis focuses his arcane attack on the boar. Unfortunately the blast only grazes the boar with most of the energy crackling harmlessly on the floor.





- DM's Ruling #1: 2 rounds have passed since end of combat, meaning Kurt's prayer spell has expired.
- DM's Ruling #2: In instances like this, alchemist's fire can be used to coup de gras a regenerating creature (I used 2d6 for base damage, since it inflicts it over two rounds; the troll failed its Fort save).
- DM's Ruling #3: I've rerolled initiative for everyone, as noted below...

Initiative Count
20 Trevor - move to AH88
20 Dire Boar - move, gore vrs Trevor 28 (success), damage 20 (sorry, Leif! If it makes you feel any better, it was a random die roll between Trevor and Kurt.)
16 Dara - move to AG88, ready action
15 Dara - cast web
15 Troll 2 - move, reflex save vrs DC16 11 (failure), [ENTANGLED]
15 Ragnok - thrown hammer vrs boar 12 (failure)

Kurt hesitates as he spies the boar and then the troll! And the momentary hesitation is all it takes to allow the creatures to close on him.
ooc: I need to see how this ends for Kurt before I can decide on an action. Could be a Withdraw, casting, and/or use of Sacred Purification.

Dara

OOC: Dara will probably rush to Kurt's side and into melee, assuming the boar charges forward. Was also thinking about casting Web to delay the troll, but since there is not that much room to fight, anyways, that seems unnecessary.

Hate to do this to you, guys (NOT!) but Trev is going to hold his action until initiative count 15, and see where some of the rest of you are going.

 

[Boddynock]

OOC: I don't understand.

According to my reading of the posts, it's Dara who's next to Kurt, not Trevor (sorry, Thanee ).

Too late, unfortunately...you already posted your move to AH88. Sorry, man...once I've added your action to the combat post, it is locked. Looks like I beat you by 7 minutes.

Kurt moved down the corridor, away from everyone else. Dara's position hasn't changed. Leif had posted that Trevor was moving to AH88.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Ok, then, AH88 it is! Might as well make the best of it, I suppose.

Dara

Dara moves behind Kurt and Trevor, ready to step forward, should the need and the opportunity arise. For now, her eyes are trained on the troll, however.


OOC: Move to AG88, Ready Action (if the troll moves towards us, when he is at AL87/AM88, Dara will cast Web (no ASF, if needed) centered on AM88/AN89).
