The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter IV

As Dunstand regains control of his body, he quickly draws a new dagger from his wrist sheath and makes for the Naga. When he gets with in 10 feet he lets his dagger fly at the most likely target.

+5 Throw, Dagger, 1d4+2, 19-20/x2, 10'r

Chastity's eyes narrow at the images, and she attacks the one closest to her. By all that is holy. I'd heard of this, but to be fighting it myself! She almost smiles to herself, grimly.
 

Andreas snores thunderously as he continues to sleep, unwilling to wake up from his nap.

What's going on? Why am I standing up? The slightly conscious part of his brain asks itself, sure that this isn't normal behaviour...
 

Teleri fires as many shots as she can, aiming for the center one. If that one flickers out, she'll shoot at the other images, hoping to get the right one.

"Andreas, if you don't wake up right now, I swear I will kick you in your pride and joy!" Teleri shouts.
 

With Ayden busy with Andreas, and Calenthang readying his equipment, Teleri is finally able to get off a shot at one of the images of the naga. The arrow hits one of the images and it explodes in a shower of magical light as it is struck. Chastity tries her luck with the nearest image of the naga, unfortunately finding another mirror image. With only two remaining, Dunstand closes the distance needed to throw one of his daggers and picks a target. The weapon hits the naga and imbeds itself in her. (Another identical dagger appearing in the opposite target as quick as the first) (4 damage)

Sielwoodan fire two shots off at Tyrinth, but unfortunately both do no find their target. Drogo wades to a small rocky outcropping near the wall and finds room to attack with his sling, hitting one of the nagas, apparently the real one as it does not disappear. (1 damage) Drogo's porpoise and crocodile move to attack as well, the porpoise find it's target of the correct naga, (4 damage) but the croc misses.

The naga retreats yet another 5 feet back into her lair and casts another spell, sending an acidic arrow sailing straight at Chastity. The arrow hits her and sinks into her body, a burning sensation quickly begins paining her. (4 damage) All the while Andreas rests, sure wishing everyone could quiet down a bit.

Initiative:

Ayden - 19
Calenthang - 17
Teleri - 16
Chastity - 14
Dunstand - 11
Sielwoodan - 10
Drogo - 6
Tyrinth - 5
Andreas - 3 (Compelled)

OoC: Jarval - I believe you have an e-mail waiting from me. ;)
 


Realizing that Andreas is not going to wake up on his own, Ayden's frustration at having to stay on the sidelines mounted as Andreas still tried to sleep in the midst of battle.

~There has to be something I can do to help break the spell..~

Looking down at the water around them, Ayden wondered which was truly stronger in the mage's mind, Tyrinth's magical compulsion, or the mage's own desire to live.

~Finder forgive me for my actions are not meant to truly harm this good man...~

Letting Andreas' weight go, Ayden watched as the mage fell into the water, only to finish dunking his head under and hold it for a moment, hoping the sudden shock would register somewhere inside of the sorcerer's psyche.

"Damn it Andreas...fight back...we need you up here..."

A grin forms on Dunstands face when he sees his dagger fly true, but is disappears just as fast when he sees Chastity getting hit by the nagas spell.

Not wanting to bent down and take his eyes of the creature to get a third dagger, he pulls out his Rapier and advances on the naga.

+3 Melee, Rapier, 1d6+1, 18-20/x2

Drogo

Drogo frowns. As soon as Tyrinth goes back underwater, missile weapons will become much less useful. If there were only a way to keep her above a little longer. Knowing his sling to be almost useless anyway, he decides to try something else.

"Tyrinth! We've read your book. We know your secret weakness! You may as well give up now!" He shouts at the naga.
