Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Thanee]

OOC: Ahh... I see.

 

[Goonalan]

Freggo watches the first blob with growing dismay, sure that it means their doom... somehow. When the second much large being slurps to the floor, he does not hesitate. His sword lights up, catching the attention of the wavy thingies. He slips forward and slashes with a shout. "Hah! Lure us in with your pretty pictures will you? Take that!" The slash lands, allowing his magic to take hold so that he may draw the creature forward and slip to the side. "I've drawn its ire, it's vulnerable behind!"

Freggo spares a moment to wonder if the thing has a behind and whether surrounding it will help... ah well too late now...

[sblock=Mechanics]
Standard: Luring Strike - First Shift to E:8, then shift to D:9 on a successful hit, drawing the blob to the same location it ended up moving to (but providing a flank for anyone that moves to D:6 or E:6).
[/sblock]

GM: Note this is Freggo's surprise turn.

Freggo, sword out, leaps in and manouevers around the massive blob- slicing through the beast as he goes, alas the sword hit barely marks the surface of the strange creature.

[Goonalan]

“Yikes! What kind of ugly thing is that!?”

Kyalia carefully removes herself from the vincinity of the blob-thingie and fires a single arrow at it afterwards.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Minor: Hunter's Quarry on the Blob
Standard: Evasive Strike (Shift 4 before the attack -> to 'K7' (outside of the map)[/SBLOCK]

Kyalia scoots out the way- back down the corridor, unleashing an arrow when she completes her move... Kyalia's aim is true-

<BLOOP>

The arrow sinks in to the goo- and seems to disintegrate within...

Kyalia

Seeing her arrow strike true, Kyalia remembers the powers Ah-shahran can infuse upon her when she is in the vincinity of Gorm, so the elf moves up towards the loyal dog.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Move: I8 (Sorry, just realized this now, that it makes sense to stand next to Gorm at the end of my action... and since I had the Move still... )[/SBLOCK]

Velani takes a combat stance and shuffles forward- her longsword arcs out and slashes the Big Ooze, and goes deep. Part of the creature splits and slips- a trail of yellowish-brown slime.

The creature shudders, the three pseudopods seem to lose all impetus, flopping and flailing impotently...

Grey Ooze

The smaller Ooze slurps its way through the eastern doors... and is gone.

Back on the screen two shadowy individuals can be seen sneaking around the back of the Nentir Inn, now moving away from the building in a low crouch- coming towards the river... towards you!

[tiornys]

Where is that little one going? As Ah-shahran stares at the eastern door, he nonchalantly waves a hand at Gorm, who *wuffs* as he fades into Kyalia (allowing her to fire off an arrow), then reappears beside Freggo, looking pleased with himself. As Ah-shahran moves toward the eastern door, Gorm distracts the ooze long enough for Velani to take another swipe.

A devastating attack, or else series of attacks from Ah-shahran- using his brain to wage the war against the Ooze.

Kyalia's arrow strikes home, Velani's longsword cuts in and the creature, already out of sorts, is hurting bad- one of the pseudopods is chopped away completely- it flops on to the hard stone floor and dissolves in to a puddle of goo...

Behind, on the big screen, the two darkened hunched figures move forward still, to the very edge of the river- they're small figures, smaller than humans certainly, perhaps only three feet tall.

From the right a rowboat approaches- two more, similar looking creatures, skull at the oars.

All of the creatures are swathed in thick cloaks, obscuring their features completely.

The rowboat pulls level, one of the short creatures reaches out of sight and struggles to grab an object and haul it to a waiting colleague on the bank...

A frog leaps out of the water, and plops in again.

The entire operation freezes- all four creatures stop what they are doing and turn to stare, their pale faces just visible in the moonlight...
