[Unbounded World:The Aeterian Expedition] (Now With New And Improved Amulets!)

[Sollir Furryfoot]

After Talsia wakes up from her second round of sleeping, she performs a Commune:

-Who is the one without a key, that Illesia spoke of?
-Is the sword we are after connected to whomever sent the transformed soldier after us?
-What caused the transformation of said soldier?
-Would you be opposed to me ressurecting the parents of the bronze dragon we just met?
-Is the Silver Fiend as or more intelligent than the average human?
-If we attack the Silver Fiend, will some other force attack us during or immediately after the battle with it?
-Are the stolen children both alive and themselves?

OOC-other questions tomorrow

 

[Kalanyr]

[Kalanyr]

OOC - Given Ferrix's difficullty being online I make yet another assumption.

Lochan once more nods at something in the distance alerting Duncan to the presence of a colossal scorpion closing in on the camp, it's currently 150' away.

Lochan then removes his ring of windfury (OOC- Assumption by me that Lochan would prefer not to have to fire through the wall of sand that this would stir up) and unleashes a five arrows at the creature, and the Lilandel's flurry's ten more arrows appear. 11 of the arrows strike the creature, those from Shudder piercing through the creautre in bursts of potent force and the flurry arrows tearing into the creatures side (190 hp of damage total). But the scorpion keeps coming, despite the wounds in its hide.

Initiative
Duncan 26
Lochan 11
Scorpion 5 (190 damage)

 

[Lichtenhart]

"What about letting me have some fun, too?"
The brown warrior takes out his sword to shine in the sun, and charges the oversize bug, while still keping his defences high.

OOC: combat expertise 3, so AC 40 and attack +33

 

[Kalanyr]

Duncan charges the collosal scorpion and strikes it with his huge claymore, inflicting a trivial wound on the colossal creature (29 damage).

Lochan again draws back shudder and lets fly the rain of doom again. (205 damage)

The scorpion despite being horrendously badly wounded lashes out with a claw, closing in on Duncan and grabbing a hold of the warrior (Duncan failed the opposed grapple check), it then uses its other claw to squeeze the warrior further before delivering a sting with its tail, which injects the brave warrior with its potent poison. (Duncan takes 64 damage, and 2 points of Con Damage all up, and is grappled in 1 claw)

Initiative
Duncan 26 (Grappled, 64 damage, 2 con damage (reduces max hp by 34), 140/204 )
Lochan 11
Scorpion 5 (424 damage)

 

[Lichtenhart]

Duncan takes a mental note that remaining faithful to only one weapon is all nice and well, but then he should also try not to get grappled like the last street urchin.

He gathers his strength in his shoulders and tries to force open the giant scorpion's claw.

 

[Kalanyr]

Duncan struggles to the best of his abilities but fails to break free of the colossal claw holding him in place. (4 Iterative Attempts to break free, all failed)

Lochan then draws back shudder and unleashes a hail of arrows again, this time finishing the scorpion. (24 damage from first arrow suficient to kill the scorpion.)



(Everyone gains 1020 XP)

 

[Lichtenhart]

Duncan frees himself from the dead scorpion, and slowly, in a very relaxed way, takes out his healing kit and little vial of antitoxin out of it. He lifts it up as if he were toasting with Lochan, and drinks it at one gulp.
He then looks at the whole lenght of the scorpion that lies at his feet, then back at Lochan. He walks towards his targeteer friend, and when he reaches him, he puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Remind me not to mess with you, Lochan-san."
Then he burst into a laugh and sits down beside the tent to take care of his wounds.

 

[Kalanyr]

Duncan with the aid of the antidote succesful fights off the secondary effects of the potent poison.The next 20 minutes pass uneventfully, until the nomad arrives. He nods to Duncan and Lochan

"I am Thol. Zerren sent me to watch you while you camp. You should get some sleep. "

 

[Lichtenhart]

"I guess you are right, my friend, but the others should too. Lochan, go catch some rest, you earned it. I'll stay here with Thol another bit."

---​

OOC: Assuming nothing else happens till the end of my turn.
"Well, Thol, it looks like my shift is over. I'll go wake Teppic up. If you'll be already gone when I wake up, let me thank you now. Don't worry, we'll mop the floor with that fiend."
He enters the tent, and quietly shakes Teppic.
"Good morning. The nomad Zerren spoke about is here. I guess you can do without Skor. Let him enjoy his beauty sleep. Remember to wake Talsia so she doesn't miss the dusk. I've had enough for today."
Duncan drops on his bedroll, and quickly falls asleep without even bothering undonning his armor.
