The Old School: AD&D 1e

[ghostcat]

On seeing the creature emerge from the tunnel, Lidia lets out an involuntary shrike. "Its not natural." she says.

Heeding Amirad's advice about not going near it, she fishes out her slingshot and takes a pot-shot, while still holding the light in her off-hand.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

OOC: Feel free to roll the d20.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The Sarge hacks once more, "It's a good strategy!" He stays with the plan of his companions, striking at the zombie while trying to avoid the monstrosity.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Amirad and Stubbs easily dispatch the remaining zombie, who slumps over, destroyed.

Lidia's sling stone embeds itself into the shell of the beast. It skitters forward, crawling on centipede legs until its entire length (about 10') comes out of the tube.

[sblock=OOC]
The creature closes range with Turthain, Amirad, Austin, and Stubbs. Lidia remains back 10' with the torch.

Turthain turns his longsword on the giant arthropod, slashing at it furiously.


I guess the natural 20 makes up for two natural 1s.

 

[Thondor]

"Beautifully struck Turthain! Ware the beasts tentacles!"

Amirad deftly strikes out at the monster.

(OOC: here's hoping we win initiative and/or none of us are paralysed.)

 

[Scott DeWar]

In an attempt to avoid the tentacles, Austin will try to maneuver to the side of the creature and strike with his mace. He strikes the dirt with a mighty blow!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Sgt Stubbs maneuvers to the opposite side of Austin, "I'm not sure what you are doing with your blade, Austin, but keep doing it! I think you have the beast confused and vulnerable!"

OOC: Oops.. not sure how the second d20 was rolled. Must have hit the roll button twice. Regardless, I missed.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"MOck not the man of the cloth, lest his bad fortune slides over to you"

 

[ghostcat]

Thankful that she is protected by such doughty warriors, Lidia stays well back and makes sure they have plenty of light. She also keeps an eye on the tunnel to make sure that the thing has not got a mate.
