The Psionicle, Part III

[Dalamar]

"That thing is to crystals what rust monster is to steel and iron. Watch your psionic equipment fellows."

Syld draws away from the folugub. He draws his dagger in the same motion.
"If that thing even tries to touch my Drilbu, I'll stab it, that's for sure."

 

[Jarval]

Jansson steps forwards, sword raised.

"Vile creatures." he mutters, readying his sword to strike the creature if it comes any closer.

"Shardorn, Desimus, if you could help me smack this... thing... about a bit?"

[OOC How about Jansson and the non-psions step forwards to melee with this critter (Jansson having all of his psionic equipment stowed in his backpack or beltpouch), while the psions shoot at it with crossbows?

Syld, as you withdraw, the Folugub sticks it's tongue out even farther, and it continues to scan your belongings. It doesn't appear to be threatening you - but it does appear to be looking for something. As it does so, it seems to notice your drilbu - and the tongue heads for it.

The folugub's tongue touches the Drilbu, and there is a soft shimmer from it's inner core. However, it appears the the drilbu resisted the liquification successfully, as it remains solid.

It draws an attack from Syld in the process, who proceeds to stab it.

Syld gets a 17, +2 is 19, a hit! He inflicts 3 points of damage to the folugub.

The folugub whimpers almost inaudibly, but it doesn't look like it will back away from what looks like a good source for a meal.

If you want to fight it, roll initiative. If you want to take another course of action, don't bother with initiative.

 

[Zhure]

OOC: Initiative 13+2= 15

Osius stashes his psicrystal in his shirt and swings his mace at the beast.

"It's too vile to leave alive!"

 

[Jarval]

[OOC Initiative 4 + 7 = 11 [/OOC]

Jansson strides forwards and slashes his sword down at the Folugub.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Initiative, 8+2=10

Sahgrim loads and shoots an arrow at the creature.

 

[Hand of Vecna]

[OCC] Initiative 10 + 2 = 12 [/OCC]

*Nathan prepares to skewer the foul beast with a crossbow bolt*

Initiatives...
Osius - 15
Folugub - 13
Syld, Nathan - 12
Jansson - 11
Sahgrim - 10
Shardorn - 4
Desimus - 3

---

Osius brings his mace crashing down upon the hard exoskeleton of the oversized bug.

Osius rolls a 12, and +3 = 15. Not enough to hit.


The folugub, ignoring those attacking it in favor of getting a free meal, attempts to dissolve Syld's drilbu again.

The folugub's tongue flicks out, and gets an 18 - enough to touch the drilbu . The drilbu resists, and gets a 19 - a successful save against the liquefying attack.


Syld stabs at the folugub again, irritated at it's attempts to eat his psionic items. At the same time, Nathan shoots the critter.

Syld gets an 11, +2 is 13. Not enough to get through the carapace.

Nathan gets a 9, and +3 is 12 - not enough to hit.


Jansson strides forward and brings it down in a halflings' version of a mighty swing.

Jansson gets an 8, and +6 is 14. A miss.


Sahgrim also shoots his crossbow at the folugub.

Sahgrim gets a 15, and +3 is 18, a hit! Sahgrim inflicts 4 points of damage upon the folugub.

As the crossbow bolt penetrates the tough plated skin of the folugub, the sound of the bolt crunching through bone and plate rebounds off the walls and sounds out into the dark tunnels.


Shardorn brings out her own mace to bear down upon the folugub.

Shardorn gets a 6, and +2 is 8 - a miss.


Desimus also loads his crossbow, aims, and fires.

Desimus gets a 19, a critical! He rolls again, and gets a 9, +5 is 14, a miss. However, he still manages to hit.

As Desimus shoots, there appears to be an intangible red field surrounding the bolt and the crossbow. As it shoots towards the folugub, there is a flash of red and purple as it passes by Osius, but the bolt continues onward.

The bolt plows into the folugub, inflicting 10 points of damage to it.

Yet another loud snapping of bone resounds throughout the narrow tunnel. The folugub makes a loud, buzzing noise, and shrinks away from Syld's drilbu, although it remains nearby.

---

That's round one. Damage inflicted so far...

Folugub - 17 points

 

[dkoz]

Desimus draws another bolt, loads it into his crossbow and then targets the creature once again, if it is still standing.

OOC: Did Rostrum return from hunting before we entered the tunnels?

 

[GnomeWorks]

OOC:

OOC: Yes, I would assume that you had called your familiar prior to going down into the tunnel.
