The Scattered Ones

[Morbidity]

Namfoodle goes before the creature. Seebor let me know what your initiative is and roll to stabilise.

Namfoole when the creature appeared and did a quick look up the staircase before bludgeoning Seebor into unconsciousness, you think that it noticed you were there.

Discretion....

Namfoodle uses the entirety of his formidable combination of wisdom and intelligence to decide on a course of action.

he shouts at the top of his lungs as he pelts back up the stairs as fast as his gnomish legs allow him to.

Amaryllis trusting in the carefully positioned hair to alert her to the imp's movement when she returns, runs to where Whatsit's voice is coming from. Mouse remains stationary.

Well you'll have to make a listen check first. The fort is made of good Dwarven stone. You're in a room off another room a floor above Namfoodle ... the sound is bound to be muffled.

BTW: Given that you know the imp flies around, what exactly is the point of this hair?

Namfoodle ... do you think half-speed would be reasonable up stairs? I'm just trying to decide where you've got to, so my friend can decide whether to pursue you or to continue to bludgeon what he has.

Round 1

Namfoodle rushes up the stairs. Unfortunately rushing up a spiral staircase is not a particularly easy endeavour and Namfoodle manages to just make it to the ground floor [double move]. Suddenly the creature appears out of the stone in front of Namfoodle and slams one massive arm against him just getting by his shield Your AC is 19 at the moment isn’t it? Or do you have some funky spell going? Namfoodle’s fat little body visibly shakes under the impact. (12 points of damage)

Amaryllis: Listen check of 15 to Hear Namfoodle scream this round, or 10 next round when he is no longer in the spiral staircase.

Tomas/Namfoodle: If you’re in the dining/living area then Listen check of 10 to hear Namfoodle this round. If you’re somewhere else on that floor Listen check of 15.

Are we all having fun?

Everyone make a knowledge (Malin Genie … suggestions on what it should be a knowledge of) check to see if they recognise what the creature is.

Sigh.

Last notification that there was an addition to the thread was 9/5/03.

Last time I was able to access the enworld server was the day after.

Tomas was with Seebor and Namfoodle. He saw them slink off down the stairs.

Hearing Namfoodle's cry for help, as well as the thud of Seebor's
lifeless body should be pretty easy.

[Initiative roll: 6 + 2 = 8]

Tomas moves downstairs, rapier drawn, to try and help his colleagues.

 

[Hollowtree]

Tomas watches Namfoodle and the creature *run past him up the stairs* (he was on the first sublevel with the other two, looking
behind all the curtains...)

Initiative roll, as previous post.

[Hide: 15 + 7 = 22]

I wonder if Tomas can get a sneak attack in...

 

[Amaryllis]

Listen check = 15 + ? (I am in Oz without my character sheet but it should be enough)

Intelligence check = 6 + 2 = 8 (for whenever I see it)

I assume it takes time for me to get to the stairs - assume running until I get within sight of action.

I figure that something that flies disturbs the air around it and would thus at least shift the position of the hair slightly, especially in a shaft. I assume a hair is not the sort of thing an imp would notice and thus avoid disturbing. I intend to remember the exact position of the hair and note any change. I am not sure what kind of check a memory check is but I rolled 11.

[The site has been down for the last few days. I have Neblin's assurances that he would post as soon as it is available (we both tried in Canberra and failed)]

Tomas: I'm a little unclear. I gather that you're on the sleeping quarters level. Were you out in the open or hiding prior to the trap being sprung? If not, then you can't attempt to hide until your initiative, which is after Namfoodle and my special friend.

If were already hidden then my special friend doesn't see you. If you weren't hidden then my special friend attacks you (and hits since your AC is lower than Namfoodle's) rather than continuing after Namfoodle.

What you see is a creature more going through the core of the staircase than actually walking up the stairs. The various bits of a body which protrude into and out of the rock at various intervals are a tad nauseating.

Amaryllis ... when you eventually see my special friend you don't know what he is.
