The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[Velmont]

"If you prefer, Dunstand. I'll follow you."

Sielwoodan enchant his arrowhead with a light spell (don't forget the arcane failure on that spell). If Dunstand fall, Sielwoodan will cast feather fall on him. He will follow by using feather fall and slowly dropping in the pit.

Glad to see his companions maintain some form of teamwork, Calenthang waits for them to go down the hole, protectively taking up the rear.

OOC:
order of entry into big dark scary hole in da ground?

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Hmmm. After we investigate this, it might be worth our while to visit the other obalisk we saw, and see what's under it. It was just after that that we first met this Kharis, or whatever he name was."

Drogo will pause for Ayden's spell to take effect. "Stay alert, Rex" he empaths to his dog.

 

[Mimic]

ooc: Broddy will want to go in the middle

Coming up beside the halfling, Broddy studies the riding dog and the hole for a few moments before speaking up.

"Ah, not be a pessimist or anything but how are we going to get your dog down there? And more importantly how are we going to get him back up?"

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Perhaps we can lower him with the rope. Or perhaps he can climb. Let's see what's down there first."

 

[Majin]

Casting his spell, Ayden watches as the resulting vision flashes before his eyes and is gone just as quickly as it arrived. He sees himself performing in front of large crowd in a city square. The audience looking on, pleased with his performance, when suddenly a few begin to hold their ears and make aggravated sounds. Eventually the whole crowd is writhing on the ground in agony at his playing. He tries desperately to stop, seeing the pain he is causing them, but he cannot. He seems forced to continue, and does so until the last of his audience lies still, lifeless on the ground, hands still clutched to their ears in pain...

Dunstand begins climbing down the rope into the cavern. He nearly reaches the bottom before flinching at an odd greenish glow that flies near his head, almost hitting him. Five more glowing shapes join the first as the circle him. In the eerie light he can make them out to be bat-like creatures, but with hideous faces, the green glow itself emitting from their unnaturally large mouths. The begin screeching as they dive for the unlucky rogue.

Initiative:

Drogo - 26
Sielwoodan - 19
Calenthang - 18
Broddy - 15
Dunstand - 10
Teleri - 8
Vargouilles (6) - 7
Ayden - 6

 

[kirinke]

Teleri blinks, coming up with an idea. She prays for water, asking Sehanine for it to deluge above the bat-creatures, hoping to down them, at least temporarily. (figure that a sudden, unexpected downpour of water at that range will force them to land or flee, giving Dunstand a chance to get up or out of the way). As they begin to screech, Teleri winces and stuffs her ears with her own hood.

(Casting Create water, 4 gallons = 2 gallons x levels about a foot or less above the bat-thingies.)

 

[hippocrachus]

Finding his companions' decent made difficult by the bat-creatures, Calenthang draws his sword as he comes to the cavern floor and races to protect Dunstand from them.

 

[Velmont]

As he sees the first creature at the light of the sunrod, Sielwoodan's arrow flies from his bow. Not waiting to see the result, he quickly take another arrow that he let fly.

"Covering you!"

OOC: Extra Shot use.
