stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [IC]

[EvolutionKB]

Avron

Avron eyes' narrow on the ugly woman for a moment as he searches his memories for such a creature. He then moves forward through the water. He concentrates for a moment, and a few mumbled words later, a soft warm rain begins to fall in the area, burning the flesh of evil.

Swamp Fane: Round 1 (Complete)

Cursing, Jarrith tries to prop up Marot. He steps forward in preparation for the battle.

Swamp Fane: Round 2 (Partial)

Marot lies helplessly. Tessa pulls forth a potion to try to boost Ashlyn any way she can. The weighted paladin manages to move her head to she can gasp for breath while Kopri manages to harry one of the eels. Khensu focuses on dropping the menace, bristling with shifter rage. White goo splatters his armor. [Water difficult terrain, no 5' steps. Attack hits for 15hp]

Sensing a fallen foe, one of the eels pounce on Ashlyn, easily finding flesh. While it does not savage her throat, it quickly latches on, draining away her vitality. As the blood pools, the paladin's consciousness almost fades... [Nat 20 hits, but no crit. 21hp and 4 Con drain (ouch!). Eel is attached] The other two reel at Khensu, one failing but the other attaching behind the knee, sucking away his blood! [19hp, 3hp Con drain, eel is attached.]

Avron strides forward, calling down holy rain. The eels are unaffected, but the madwoman howls in pain! [7hp] He recognizes the worms from a catalog of swam vermin---blood eels, eaters of blood that can only be detached via rough force---but the woman is unindentified.

Her flesh sizzling in the rain, the madwoman cackles The Land is His, the Land is naught! You blood shall feed the grassy knots! She swims quickly through the murk, and eyes Avron with a wicked glare. He fights off the effect, but she is dangerously close now.

(Jarrith)

Swamp Fane: Round 2 (Partial)

Conditions: Water/Bog is difficult terrain, as is the undergrowth and rubble. Deep Bog is very difficult terrain, and grants cover.
Map Key: A: Arvan, A: Ashlyn, a: Volo, D: Ugly Woman, E: Eels, J: Jarrith, G: Hairy Giant, K: Khensu, M: Marot, R: Ravika, T: Tessa.

Conditions: Cyan Border: Energy drain, Dark Red Border: Dying, Magenta Border:: Dazed, Yellow: Weak, White Border: Prone.

M: 18 [42/46, 11 Str damage (1/12), prone]
A: 15 [16/46, 11 Str damage (3/14), 10/14 Con, prone]
T: 15 [42/47]
K: 14 [26/50, 3 Con drain]
E: 14 [All now lightly wounded]
A: 10 [36/41]
D: 10
J: 9 [30/35]

 

[DEFCON 1]

"Sonuva..." Jarrith mumbles, as these eels begin latching onto his compatriots. "Like vampires these are!" he shouts, and begins doing his best to rid the one that is attached to the downed paladin. Khensu also reaches around to deal with the one on his leg.

(Jarrith will full attack the one attached to Ashlyn. Khensu will reach down and pull the one from his leg and throw it away from himself, since I assume he probably cannot use his greatweapon to attack the one on his own leg. Jarrith will then attack Ashlyn's eel again as needed at the end of Round 2.)

 

[pathfinderq1]

"Ashlyn, here- drink this!," Tessa shouted, trying to press the vial into the paladin's hand. Even as she did so, she made a swirling gesture with her other hand, flicking a tiny ball of fire at the strange old woman.

OOC: Move action to hand off the vial (I hope), then a standard action to toss another Produce Flame at the old woman (+6 ranged touch, 1d6+5 damage); if the hand-off takes more than a Move action, then do that first and regrab her shield instead of tossing the fire.

 

[Stormwind]

Ashlyn, realizing that she is in a bad spot, delays taking action until Tessa hands her whatever restorative that scholar has just dug out of her pack. She then takes the vial from Tessa, and with a quick gulp, she downs the contents.

[Delay]
[Take vial from Tessa (move action?)]
[Drink potion of bulls strength (move action)]

Avron

Avron stumbles through the water, coming to a stop near the prone warlock. "Ohh my, now there is lots of mud in my boots...Into the rain it burns the hideous one!" He gestures towards the leeches, ending at the ugly woman. A line of lightning forms between shocking them and sending a smell of ozone through the swamp air.

[sblock=Actions]Move to C8. Cast Arc of lightning. DC 18 reflex for half. Hits ugly woman, eel in F7 and F9. 24 damage. Roll Lookup

Swamp Fane: Round 2 (Complete)

Jarrith tears at the eel on Ashlyn with a fury. The first strike bounces of its thick hide, but the other gets it right between the eyes (?)! Green ichor sprays everywhere! It appears greatly wounded. [Miss and Crit Sneak attack! 27hp and near death]

Swamp Fane: Round 3 (Partial)

Tessa hands the potion to Ashlyn, then lobs fire at the hag in defense. It catches her on the dry part of her hair, setting her alight. She screams in agony! [Another crit! 15hp; near death]

Ashlyn uses what little strength she has to drink the potion. She feels a surge of strength, but the weight of her shield and plate is too much for her to move! [At 7 Str, she's still above Heavy load, but barely. She can move 5 ft as a full round, or drop her shield and just be at heavy]

Khensu snarls at the eel, but thinks better of grappling it and strikes it instead. Gore flies everywhere, weakening it greatly. [Khensu is not considered grappled. Two hits w/ sneak attack; 37 damage; near dead]

The worms regain some health [fast healing], and continue to drain the life from Ashlyn and the paladin. Both warriors begin to look very weak... [1 Con from Ashlyn, 2 from Khensu. Ashlyn is nearing unconsciousness.] The other bites for no effect.

The mad one cackles and a bolt arcs between the foes. The one on Khensu burns to a crisp, dropping free and the woman gurgles once more before collapsing. The other worm continues to threaten! [F9 and D killed]

Swamp Fane: Round 3 (Partial)

Conditions: Water/Bog is difficult terrain, as is the undergrowth and rubble. Deep Bog is very difficult terrain, and grants cover.
Map Key: A: Arvan, A: Ashlyn, a: Volo, D: Ugly Woman, E: Eels, J: Jarrith, G: Hairy Giant, K: Khensu, M: Marot, R: Ravika, T: Tessa.

M: 18 [42/46, 11 Str damage (1/12), prone]
A: 15 [8/46, 11 Str damage (3/14), bull's strength (7/14), 9/14 Con, prone]
T: 15 [42/47]
K: 14 [19/50, 5 Con drain]
E: 14 [E6 near death; F9 dead; other severely wounded]
A: 10 [36/41]
D: 10 [dead]
J: 9 [30/35]

 

[Stormwind]

Ashlyn, fighting unconciousness, quickly pulls a potion from her bracer, and with a quick gulp, she downs the contents.

[Drink potion of cure moderate wounds from potion bracer (2d8+3 healing; does not provoke AoO's; standard action)]

 

[DEFCON 1]

"That's right... that's right..." Jarrith mumbles to himself, as his eyes bat back and forth, following the motion of the eel still chomping away at Lady Ashlyn. He focuses his concentration and when he finds openings, he stabs at it again and again... hoping to find the soft underbelly of the creature and put it out of its misery.

Khensu takes a step away and then lays hands upon himself, hoping its warm embrace can heal some of his pain.

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tessa gave a brief shout of exultation as the flames struck the crone- even as she finished, another puff of flame appeared in her hand. She slogged through the water, working her way around Khensu to strike at one of the remaining eels.

OOC: Move action to work around Khensu, then a melee touch attack with Produce Flame against the eel at F 7 (trying to hit a part of it which is above water, obviously). Melee touch at +6, deals 1d6+5 Fire.
