[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 2100348, member: 14316"] [B]-- Round 4 (cont) --[/B] [b]Vuoor[/b] frees himself from the roper and circles around it. The roper snaps at him with its jaws but misses. [b]Dargo[/b], ignoring the roper's strand attached to him, lifts off the ground and flies towards the roper, letting out a stupifying moan directed at the roper. The roper seems unaffected. [B]-- Round 5 --[/B] [b]Rogoth[/b] hacks at the strand attached to him, severing it, and steps forward to take a swing at the roper. His axe glances off its stony hide. [b]Denasa[/b] twists, reaching for her component bag, and succeeds in casting another spell. Her body grows, expanding to large size, taking on a strange amorphous shape. [b]Rune[/b] pedals backward, trying to pull free from the strand as she attacks. Wielding her greatclub 2-handed, the weakened genasi swings at the strand. Her second swing manages to deal some damage to it. The [b]roper[/b] lets out a wild howl, like a great stony beast letting out a warcry. The roper pulls on its strands, dragging Denasa, Rune and Dargo towards it. Denasa feels her strength being sucked out of her, if it were not for her polymorphed form, she would be on the ground, helpless. Dargo, who was flying towards the roper, is pulled within range of its stony maw. Its jaws bite down on the polymorphed dwarf, crushing the cloaker's flesh. The roper shoots out five more strands. Vuoor and Morph are hit with one strand each. One strand misses Rogoth. The roper shoots two more strands hitting Rune and Denasa. Finally it lashes out with its bite at Rune, nearly killing the genasi. [I]Initiative[/I] Rogoth: Denasa: roped x2, polymorphed into a mimic. -13 Strength damage (Str 6 in mimic form) Rune: 16/41 hp, roped x2 (first rope has 7 damage), biofeedback (dr 6), -8 Strength damage (Str 11) Drow 1: 59 damage, down Drow 2: 48 damage, down Roper: 36 damage [I]-- action paused --[/I] Vuoor: roped Bull: 28/64 hp, half-speed Morph: freedom of movement, Snakebite, roped Solli: Dargo: polymorphed into cloaker, 19/76 hp, roped [SIZE=1][COLOR=Wheat] Vuoor: I missed Vuoor's action last round! So last round he freed himself and tumbles out of the roper's threatened area, then moves around the roper. With an intent to attack, he tumbles into its threatened space for his final move. Vuoor fails his second tumble attempt, provoking an aoo bite from the roper, which it misses. Rune cannot pull away. I'm ruling that the roper's strands are like attached ropes- you can move towards it and to the side, but you need to break the strand to pull away. The roper pulls Denasa, Rune and Dargo towards it. Denasa's save vs weakness: 8+2+3=13, fail. She takes 13 points of strength damage. Dargo makes his save. Rune has already taken strength damage from this strand. The roper deals 17 points of damage to Dargo with its bite. Rune is bitten for 14, less 6. Denasa and Rune will have to make new saves vs weakness next round, if the new strands are still attached. Vuoor's escape artist check will automatically succeed, but it is still a standard action to wiggle free. Bull does not have enough space to move in to attack the roper, with Rune and Rogoth in the way. Dargo is currently flying above the downed drow. Dargo's maneuverability is average and he cannot hover, so depending on his actions he might be forced to land in the nearest free space next round. Nasty nasty nasty. [/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
