Turmoil in the Golden Ring--A Slavic-themed game in the cold (IC Thread)

OOC: If he can't attack, Cholodny will double move to at least be able to threaten the Vodyanoi. Also, Cholodny was born to "cleave if possible." He will always do so.

Misha, Human Paladin 3

In that case Misha moves as close as he can (move action, drawing the spear as part of the move) but to a place where he gets a good clear path to the creature, and then throws the spear.
 


Stanislava

Charging: will attack ASAP. She is more than ready slice and dice this monster. She hopes the others are not far behind her.

OOC; and hope for a better initiatve roll next time.
 

Burian Slavochka (of all the times to lose my internet...)

Burian turns and sends an arrow into the creature, snarling in fury at having let his guard down.

attack roll:16 (12+4)


ooc: sorry for the delay lost my broadband thursday morning

Cholodny moves toward the creature, but with the water slowing him down, he can't quite get close enough to hit him with his Glaive. (He's just 5' short).

Burian lets an arrow lose but it flys just wide. Brata does the same with his crossbow and misses as well (8+2=10). Ivan's bowshot is more successful, however, and he sinks a second arrow into the Vodyanoi's chest. The creature make's a short low-pitched sound that seems to be a scream, but doesn't fall.

Misha moves to the side and forward, and fires a spear from about 10 feat away, but this two flies over the man and into the river.

Stanislave was able to swing once as the Vodyanoi retreated (Attack of Opportunity: 6+7=13 Miss). Then he manages to get into melee range and swings (16+7=23 Hit!; dmg 7 points). Again the monster growls but doesn't fall.

Round 2

The Vodyanoi withdraws from Stanislava's mighty blade (avoiding an attack of opportunity). The creature moves in the water far faster than humans are able to, and is now 40' away from the Stanislava and is completely submerged, though barely visable.

Conditions:

Misha, Stanislava, Cholodny, Brata, and Burian: unhurt;
Ivan: 3 points of damage (23/26);
Vodyanoi: 25 points of damage

Brata thinks back to the ramblings of the crone to try to figure out if this creature is an abomination of nature or not. Coming up with little in 10 or 12 seconds, he holds his ground, and lets fly one last ditch crossbow bolt.

(OOC- Knowledge Nature or Arcana check? He takes a 5 ft. step, reloads, and shoots his crossbow.)
 

Cholodny continues to hold the glaive, moving as close to the creature as possible, without submerging himself. He readying a circle of glaivey death in front of the party. Calling to the party, "You fire! I'll hold off whatever comes to shore."

Ivan doesn't respond, but just grins, firing of two more arrows in rapid succession.

OOC: If no one else closes to melee, Ivan will rapid shot, getting a 19 and an 11. If someone does, he will only fire once, getting a 17 (including melee penalties). The second one is sure to miss, so I didn't roll damage, and if the first one hits, it'll deal 9 points of damage.
 

Misha, Human Paladin 3

Misha curses, draws his last spear, and carefully scans the water. He approaches Cholodny, staying a bit at his back and out of Ivan's line of fire. Spouting speculations as to the creatures' parentage, he detects evil to see if there is anything lying below the water.
