The Sunless Citadel [IC1]

[Voda Vosa]

Krindorf swings his sword wildly, but the pain in his leg doesn't let him focus. He misses lamely. "Help!" he yells

 

[grufflehead]

After her companion's yelp of surprise and sudden disappearance, Brunhilde edges carefully forward and peers over the edge of the pit. Seeing the rat about to nibble on the dwarf, she draws one of the handaxes from her belt, and after a moment's aiming, hurls it at the beast (the rat, not Krindorf...)

[Errandir]

Eivan springs up from the wall and moves forward to the edge of the pit. He utters a hasty incantation, and a beam of frost shoots from his finger towards the rat. Looking around quickly, Eivan gestures to Gregor and says, "Gregor, throw him a rope!"

Pulling the coil of silken rope from his pack, Gregor hastily wraps a few turns of the rope around him and hurls the remainder of the coil into the dark hole while grasping his end firmly. "Great thief you turned out to be!" he hollars.

[sblock=Actions]Move Action: Dig rope out of pack.
Standard Action: Throw coil into hole, and brace himself in his current square.

[Voda Vosa]

"Get down 'ere and help me buffon! I can't climb up with a rat after me!" It is not clear if it was the rage, his skill with the sword, or the fact that Gregor's accurate comments always make the worst of the dwarf surfaces. Either way, his swing was accurate and devastating.

Attack: 16 for 5 dmg

 

[perrinmiller]

The Ray of frost damages the dire rat, but only making a small white spot as it freezes its mottled fur. The rat tries to bite Krindorf again but its gnashing teeth miss as the nimble dwarf moves his exposed leg out of the way.

Krindorf's next attack goes deep into the rat's torso, for a heavy wound that causes the creature to squeal in pain. It very badly wounded, yet continues to try and attack Krindorf.

Krindorf has already acted in Round 2, next is Eivan.

 

[WarShrike]

"I'm staying right here, thank you very much. If we all jump down there, how do you suppose we'll get back out?" calls Gregor, remaining where he is.

 

[Errandir]

Eivan shrugs and casts his second ray of frost cantrip, squinting as he carefully aims into the pit.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard Action:
Cast Ray of Frost
Touch Attack: 1d20+3=22
Damage: 1d3=1[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Lousy useless coward! I'll beat ye up when I'm done with the rat" yells the dwarf, visibly angry.

11 vs AC for 3 dmg

 

[perrinmiller]

<<BTW Krindorf's strike was for Round 3, but wasn't needed.>>

Eivan's frosty ray hits the dire rat in the head and the creature's eyes gloss over white and it falls still in its tracks, apparently its brain functions frozen. A nudge with his boot and Krindorf establishes that the hungry critter has eaten its last meal. Nothing else at the bottom of the pit trap is moving, except for blood slowing seeping from the sword cut in the dead rat.
