The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter II

[Velmont]

"Let's cut down those vines. We may need them to start a fire later." tell Sielwoodan while he draw his sword and hack the vine.

 

[Majin]

Moss swipes at the attacking vines managing to cut one with a claw. (5 damage) Pulling back his sling and letting a bullet loose towards the aggressive plant, Drogo manages to score a hit. (2 damage) The vines whip angrily around, twisting and reaching for anyone within reach. One particular vine makes a lunge for Mosslime, but the Saurial easily bats it away as he goes on the defensive. Chastity, standing away back from the fight notices the source of the evil is not coming from the plant, but something inside the house itself.

Sielwoodan steps into the fray and swings at the vines, easily slicing away at the vine with his new sword. (9 damage) Ayden stands by, eyeing the plant cautiously, but it's attention seems diverted towards closer prey. Calenthang moves towards the whipping tendrils and swings, but his sword ends up tangling in them. Freeing the sword from the plant's grasp, it is obvious his attack was ineffective. Andreas looks on after Calenthang moves in, safely out of the plant's reach.

Initiative:

Mosslime - 21
Drogo - 14
Vines - 14
Chastity - 13
Sielwoodan - 12
Ayden - 11
Calenthang - 10
Andreas - 8

~Perhaps this vine is another of Applebottom's "gifts" to his people...or perhaps the darkness which spawned Ssirine brought this to life as well...~

Knowing that they could mull over the whos and the whys later, Ayden looked at the warriors hacking away at the deadly vines and new he had to help them.

~Guide our blows Uncle...~

Running foward, Ayden swung at the vine hoping to pin a section down for another to hit.

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity circles the house, looking for a way in that isn't blocked by the vines. "The evil is inside! I'm going to look for a way to get in." She keeps her sword drawn, in case she is attacked.

 

[hippocrachus]

Amused at his own failed attack, Calenthang pauses, and considers Chastity's words.
There's a door right here...
With that, he launches himself at the door, in an attempt to break it down.

 

[Verbatim]

As the group begins to splinter off before his eyes, Ayden calls out to them.

"We must take the guardian before we enter. Divided our strength weakens."

Hoping they will see the truth in his eyes, Ayden continues to seek an opening on the vine.

 

[hippocrachus]

Hearing Ayden and remembering the concept of "group effort," Calenthang reconsiders breaking the door in just then, and instead continues to attack the vines.

 

[Velmont]

Seeing how easily the new sword slice the vine, Sielwoodan say "Nice sword it is..." and try to hack again the vine.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Mosslime stubbornly stabs the vines that are in front of him not understanding why some of the others are distracted.

OOC: Still using my claws, two attacks.

 

[Jarval]

As he advances on the menacing vines, he casts a sidewards glance at Andreas with a smile to match.
"I'm glad you agree, friend Andreas, I'm quite taken with it as well. I just wouldn't use so many big words to descride my disposition. Fate, in all things, is how you preceive it. A rather paradoxical philosophy," he adds with a laugh, and a sudden lunge at the plant.

"Paradox can be most productive. Many ideas, philosophical, theological or indeed magical, were formed by examining an apparent paradox." Andreas says to Calenthang, nocking an arrow to his bow as he speaks. Taking aim at the vines, he looses his shot.
