The Underdark Primeval [IC]

[deadestdai]

(OOC: On Solli's initiative - was waiting for everyone to post before I got his action in, but ah well.)

Darting past Rogoth to the nearest wall, Solli starts climbing up (via Cloak's spiderclimb ability.) and positions himself either on a ledge (Where he can hopefully turn off the ability.) or safely out of range of melee, from where he will take aim with his dart thruster at the nearest offending dwarf.

-- Round 1 --

Rogoth (autopilot) readies his axe.

Morph casts greater magic fang on Bull

Dargo readies an attack.

The dwarves apparently had rapiers concealed behind them. They charge forward, each with a rapier in his right hand. As they approach, their robes fall open a bit. Chainmail armor can be seen. Moving much faster than dwarves should, they attack the front rank.

Rogoth swings just as the first dwarf closes, his axe cutting through the dwarf's armor. Undeterred, the dwarf's rapier pierces deeply into Rogoth's chest. The force of the blow unbalances the grimlock, and he falls to the floor. The dwarf follows up with a second pierce at the prone Rogoth.

Dargo sets the spear end of his urgrosh as Dwarf 2 charges, and hits it solidly. The dwarf completes it's lunge, piercing Dargo's shoulder, then pierces Dargo again.

The third dwarf charges Vuoor, his rapier piercing the kuo-toa twice.

Denasa flies to the right and down, positioning herself so that all three dwarves are lined up perfectly. She releases a lightning bolt, catching all three dwarves. The dwarves tense as the electricity rattles them.

Vuoor swings at Dwarf 3, but misses. Dwarf 3 gets a swing in as Vuoor tumbles to the right, but he misses. Vuoor ends next to Denasa.

Solli climbs up the wall, perching on a cornice ten feet above.

Bull pushes his way past Dargo to munch on the dwarf closest to Vuoor (D3). Meanwhile Morph casts shillelagh on his staff before moving in beside the fallen Rogoth to stand protectively beside him.

Dargo Golden, Half Deep Dragon Golden Dwarf (Fighter/Ranger)

"Of all the . . . @#$^&*#@$," Dargo exclaimed. "Gotta be some darn were's again. Great. Wererat's are my guess, already faced them once defending the Lady."

Dargo full attacked the middle 'dwarf', concentrating all of his attacks until the 'dwarf' fell.

OOC: Full attack: Dwarven Urgosh (Primary-Blade): +14/+9, 1d10 + 10 + 1d6 Frost (x20), Dwarven Urgosh (Secondary-spear): +14/+9, 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 Shock (x20).

 

[deadestdai]

Solli crouches and takes aim at the dwarf that "somehow" managed to lay Rogoth low. A slight snarl forms on his lips nad two acid darts fly at the offending stunty....

Spoiler

att +13/+8, dam 1d4+1+1d6acid each

*Hissing at the dwarves, Denasa lets loose with rays of fiery fury.*

"You're not going to get out of this in one piece you fools! Stop this at once!" she shrieks.

[OOC - scorching ray, at least one ray per dwarf already hit if possible. Any extra rays go on the one closest to her.]

OOC: Morph acts first, since Rogoth slipped in the initiative due to last round's readied action

-- Round 2 --

Morph draws nature's power into his staff and steps forward next to Rogoth.

Dwarf 3 lunges at Bull as it moves past him, piercing its carapace with its rapier. Bull responds by snapping its jaws at the dwarf, but it leaps nimbly aside.

Rogoth (autopilot) rages, swinging his axe at the Dwarf from the ground, hitting only air.

Dargo's urgrosh blurs as he swings it with remarkable speed. The dwarf reacts with almost equal speed, ducking and weaving Dargo's blows. But he's not fast enough to dodge the last thrust from the spear end! The dwarf falls in a heap. His form seems to change as it does, seeming to grow a bit larger. It hits the floor with a heavy, metallic thud.

Dwarf (?) 1 glances at its fallen comrade, wounds Rogoth once more with its rapier, and retreats with great speed.

Dwarf (?) 3 glances at its fallen comrade, and thrusts his rapier at Dargo. Dargo dodges the blade, and then the dwarf retreats.

Both dwarves moved with such speed that no one was able to attack as they rushed off. Both dwarves are now 70 ft away down the hall.

The fallen dwarf changes before you, its armor morphing into a metallic skin, and it grows to roughly the size of a human. It still grips its rapier tightly in its metallic hand.

Initiative
Morph: shillelagh
Bull: 10 damage, greater magic fang
Rogoth: 48 damage, prone, raging
Dargo: 27 damage
Dwarf 1: 27 damage
Dwarf 2: 64 damage, fallen
Dwarf 3: 14 damage
-- pause --
Denasa:
Vuoor: 15 damage
Solli: 10' above

OOC:
Dwarf 3 takes an AoO against Bull as it moves past him, hitting the beetle for 10.
Dargo hits Dwarf 2 with his last attack for 16.
Dwarf 1 hits Rogoth for 9
Denasa and Morph recognize the change in form as a magical transmutation effect of the disguise person or alter self type (used to create a disguise, not an actual transformation)
No one recognizes the metallic humanoid with their knowledge skills. Perhaps if you studied it more carefully...

-- Round 2 (cont) --

Denasa hisses, shrieking "You're not going to get out of this in one piece you fools! Stop this at once!" Three rays of fire streak towards the retreating figures, who are at the end of her spells' range. One ray misses dwarf 1 and two strike dwarf 2.

Vuoor (autopilot) stays near Denasa, in a defensive stance.

Solli fires two darts at the retreating dwarves. One hits.

Dargo Golden, Half Deep Dragon Golden Dwarf (Fighter/Ranger)

"Well, I didn't expect to see that," Dargo said. "Don't think we should pursue, they're too fast."

"No more waiting for names from me, that's for sure," he added.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Denasa grits her teeth and summons more lightning, determined not to have to face these creatures again!*

"You can't get away!" she screams.

[OOC - lightning bolt, as many enemy bodies as I can get, moving to a better position if necessary.
