Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[tiornys]

Ah-shahran steps into the chamber beside Velani, Gorm guarding his flank. As he looks at the creature hanging from the wall, his eyes widen. An ettercap! These are the things that took Kartenix!

[sblock=Mechanics]Move: to G11, Gorm to G12.

I'm using my earlier knowledge roll here, since I'm pretty sure these are the things it applied to.
That said, I'll roll a new knowledge check for other, combat-related info.[/sblock]

[Goken100]

Freggo follows... still a bit loopy

Freggo is ready for the charge and troops in after his friends. Hearing Ah-shahran's comment about Ettercaps, he glances around, looking to see if there are any captives still alive... particularly if the captives happen to be princesses...

[sblock=Mechanics]
Standard: Move to H:12 if Ah-shahran is in G:11; if not, move to G:11.
Free: Heal check on any captives for signs of life
[/sblock]

 

[RavenBlackthorne]

As his companions charge in, Viator steps up to get a better view of the room. He postions himself behind the slightly unsteady Freggo, a hand gently on his shoulder.

[sblock=Actions]Move = Move to H11[/sblock]

 

[Goonalan]

Once they spring the attack, Kyalia lets her arrows fly.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Twin Strike (with CA)[/SBLOCK]

Kyalia unleashes two arrows into the mass of webs high in the corner... alas only one strikes its target, scoring no more than a glancing blow, the bulbous spider-thing stirs- but only for a second, and then resumes its lurking squat.

Next up Kali.

 

[Goonalan]

As arrows fly, Kali charges in, swinging his axe in an overhead cut while calling on his darker training to enhance the blow. As the strike connects, his other axe follows the first one in, cutting into the creature's bloated belly.

[sblock=mechanics]Free: lay a shroud on SH#1
Standard: Charge to F8, activating shroud

GM: I take it the Shift to E8 was using Aspect of the Cunning Fox activated earlier, not a problem- E8 is difficult terrain that's all.

Kali is all action, he squints hard the horrible insect man, marking the creature for death, and then sets off at pace- his battleaxe digs deep, Kali spins and then delivers a hand axe blow to the creatures leg. The creature squeal and chitters furiously... the chittering noise echoes, or else.

Kali can't afford to look round, but he's certain that the creature is not alone- the chittering comes from behind him, there are at least another two of the creatures chittering their replies.

The bulbous beast hisses and bleeds, a slick of black blood which creeps down the wall on which it perches, it unfolds- and swings with the greataxe it holds in its spindly arms. All the time perched, spider-like, standing on the vertical surface of the wall...

[Goonalan]

Spider Humanoid #1

The creature unfurls, grasps its greataxe and swings down hard at Kali, all the time- like a spider, attached to the vertical surface of the wall...

Alas the bloodied beast misses it's target, it chitters and sulks... plots its next attack.

Spider Humanoid #2

Kyali screams and points upwards- to the ceiling... scurrying across the entrance way in which the majority of the adventurers stand is a second of the bulbous spidery humanoids- greataxe before it, it charges and swings hard at Kali's back.

At the last moment the Razorclaw Shifter twists his body- the creature's greataxe sails wide...

[sblock=Ah-shahran's thoughts]
The two creatures are Ettercap Fang Guards- humanoids with a good mix of arachnid traits, the beasts are capable of doing great harm with their greataxes, don't let their spindly arms fool you in to thinking otherwise. The creatures are stealthy and adept at traversing webbed arenas without delay, likewise (and as demonstrated) they are equally at home on any surface.

Their nastiest trick however is their bite, only usable when flanking a target- the bite of the Ettercap Fang Guard can leave a creature Stunned, as well as taking Poison damage. They particularly prey upon creatures that are impeded- that is immobilised, restrained or otherwise prevented from acting.
[/sblock]

New Map to follow.

Next up Freggo.

 

[Goonalan]

Freggo is ready for the charge and troops in after his friends. Hearing Ah-shahran's comment about Ettercaps, he glances around, looking to see if there are any captives still alive... particularly if the captives happen to be princesses...

[sblock=Mechanics]
Standard: Move to H:12 if Ah-shahran is in G:11; if not, move to G:11.
Free: Heal check on any captives for signs of life
[/sblock]

Alas Freggo finds no captives he can practice his healing arts upon...
