The Psionicle, Part VIII

[Jarval]

Jansson: Initiative: 10, AC: 20, HP: 34/34, PP 7/8, Chrysalis DR 2/-

Initiative: 3 + 7 = 10

Throwing his Everburning torch to the ground, Jansson draws his sword and slashes at the closest squirrel.

"Stay alert! There may be more we haven't spotted yet."

Attack: Masterwork short sword (+8 to hit, 1d6+2 dmg)

 

[Zhure]

Initiative 13 rolled + 2 Dex = 15

Osius will manifest Vigor for +12 hit points if he goes before the squirrel-beasts. If he goes after them, he will step back five feet and manifest stomp, trying to get as many in the area of effect as possible. As an MEA he will ready his morningstar.

"Ack! Woodland fiends!"

 

[The Forsaken One]

[Init: 19+2 = 21]

Ruth draws her sword plus shield and charges the first little bugger, pink light dancing across her face as her sword glows brightly covering her surroundings in a pink gloom.

[Attack: Psionic Flamberge +1, +11 (9 +2 from charge) to hit, 2d6 +6 18-20 x2; AC 21 (23 -2 from charge) -- Combat reflexes and Quickdraw]

 

[Dalamar]

Not really the most awake, Syld gets up letting intuition instead of rationale lead himself.
"Stay together, don't let them separate us from eachother!"
Syld pulls the moss agate power stone that they recovered from the 'Kreen tunnels and awakens the latent cone of sound in it, aiming for the biggest concentration of squirrels.

Init: 22 (roll 20)

 

[Creamsteak]

Initiative: 6

Animus doesn't really understand his friends reactions. He holds up his guard and watches them scramble around at first.

(Full defense, once my initiative comes up.)

Woodland Fiends, Round 1

Initiatives
Syld - 22
Ruth - 21
Shardorn - 20
Desimus - 15
Squirrels - 14
Osius - 13
Jansson - 10
Narok, Panthros, and Tori'shel - 8
Animus - 6

Syld aims the cone of sound from the stone as best as he can - but he can't hit any of the squirrels on anyone else without hurting them, as well. He manages only to get his own squirrel in range...

The squirrel fails it's saving throw. Squirrel 1 is dead.


Ruth, meanwhile, charges the squirrel that just leapt at her...

She gets a 13, which misses.


Shardorn rises quickly as the assault begins. "Yell if you need healing!" She calls out.


Desimus drops off of his horse, and disappears from view.


The squirrels, having landed near their targets, start gnawing upon those they are near with their razor-sharp teeth.

Ruth, Narok, and Animus are all hit.

Ruth takes 2 points.

Narok takes 3 points

Animus takes 3 points.

At the same time, two more squirrels leap forth from the trees, and land near Shardorn and Tori'shel.


Osius backs off a little, and manifests stomp... he manages to get two squirrels - his own and Shardorn's - in his area of effect...

...but both save.


Jansson wastes no time, and slashes at the squirrel that leapt at him...

He gets a 21, which hits! He deals 5 damage to Squirrel 2.


Narok and his panther both strike out at the squirrel that is attacking the druid.

Narok gets a 10, which misses.

Panthros then takes a bite at the squirrel...

Panthros gets a 16, which misses.

Meanwhile, Tori'shel pulls out her pistol and shoots the squirrel that just jumped out of the trees at her...

She gets a 16, which misses.

As she fires, the squirrel takes the moment of opportunity to lash out at the technologist with its claws...

A natural 1 - the squirrel fumbles the AoO!

Instead of clawing Tori'shel, the squirrel instead somehow manages to get it's tail caught in it's claws, and trips over itself.


Animus is defending himself from his squirrel.

(Oh, this is too much. I'm rolling with this...)

Animus, still confused, but rather disturbed, will maintain his full defense (of course) until his action. During his action, he will GRAPPLE the squirrel near him, and attempt to subdue the creature. Figuring, 'hey, it's on me, stupid little thing should be easy to grab hold of, and this way I don't kill the thing.'

Jansson: Initiative: 10, AC: 20, HP: 34/34, PP 7/8, Chrysalis DR 2/-

Hmm, tough little blighters. Jansson thinks as he swings again at the squirrel.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Doing Chop Chop Swing Splat again

 

[Zhure]

Osius

"Well, that didn't work so well..."
Osius steps back another few feet, and readies an action to strike any that approach him.

+5 to hit, 1d8+4 damage
