Viridian Plague: Act II--The Lady of Prophecy & Act III--A Shred of Hope

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yeah--you know each of those times Whinoah is doing 3 Damage? She would have dropped an enemy with that series of attacks, no question, if the bow was magic, and the foes would be dead already. Heck, M'ress moves fast enough to skirt the Entangle and attack in melee in two rounds. She should hand Whinoah her bow and do that)

(ooc: are the two dogs remaining standing to one side of Pleione & Trayah? If so I'll position a Web spell to hold the two of them while not trapping P&T.)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yes, definitely. However the Web will be substantially more effective in keeping the dogs stuck if you are willing to centre it on the dogs and trap P&T (because Web is ridiculously hard to escape if you are at the centre). Actually, the best move, since no dogs go in between you and Pleione, may very well be to delay and tell Pleione to drag Trayah away so you can centre on the dogs without catching them. I'm guessing that would ensure nobody else gets hit for the rest of the fight.

Either way, it should help a bunch, though. I'll wait til we hear from Slagg, who is next, while you decide, though I'm guessing Slagg will want to move quickly around the Entangle to go help Pleione.

Slagg's up )

 

[Erekose13]

Obscurity yells out to her friends to move away from the dogs as quickly as possible. Then she delays. If Slagg moves directly into combat, she will not use the web. She is just worried about leaving Pleione to face them alone for a full round by herself.

 

[Nephtys]

Slagg looks at the the grasping plants in irritation, cursing them in Tralg he tries to make his way around them (running if the terrain allows it). "Run here, Pretty!" he calls out to Pleione, the well-being of a stranger weighing lightly against the life of his beloved.

*Obscurity calls out her plan to Pleione, who hears her and calls back her agreement. Unable to run due to the straight path being blocked by entangling plants, Slagg heads around and makes it most of the way to the dogs, but not all the way. Pleione can't quite make out what Slagg is saying and assumes it is affirmation for Obscurity's plan, so she moves Trayah back thirty feet, though that isn't great for Trayah's injured body, causing him to lose more blood. Pleione vows to heal Trayah as soon as her next chance comes. Meanwhile, Obscurity immediately unleashes a huge sticky web that covers the dogs and a wide area from tree to tree. She doesn't quite centre it on the dogs, leaving twenty-five feet on the side with Pleione and Trayah and fifteen feet on the side with her allies. This serves two purposes. First, it prevents the dogs from gaining full cover. Second, it encourages the dogs to move towards M'ress and the others, rather than Pleione, if they want to get out. One of the dogs is held fast, and even the other dog that isn't stuck looks like he's not going to make it out of there any time soon. It barely struggles 5 feet towards M'ress, Whinoah, and Obscurity.*

[SBLOCK=OOC]Obscurity's Web:
DogF saves, DogD fails.
DogD does not break out, and DogF manages to move 5 feet.
Whinoah's Turn--perhaps she'll wait for M'ress to lend her the bow, perhaps not?[/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

OOC: Can't assume she'll get the loan at the moment

Whinoah unloads a flurry of arrows at the bound dogs.

 

[Erekose13]

Obscurity starts moving slowly around the entangled area towards the side that Pleione and Trayah are one. For the moment she doesn't do anything offensive but she remains ready should something else enter the area.

 

[Keia]

M'ress fires several shots into the beast still threatening Pleione and Trayah.

OOC: No reason to hand it over until she realizes that she's doing more than Whinoah is with a bow.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Whinoah fires three arrows, one of which is lost amidst the thick webbing and the other two of which are excellent shots that are once again not very effective, seemingly mostly healed as quickly as they are made. As the dog that isn't bound in place completely struggles to nearly move out of the web, M'ress fires twice, fairly clumsy bow attacks compared to the fluid motions of Whinoah's technique, but the arrows and their chilling bite seem to have a much greater effect nonetheless.*

*As Obscurity glances around and prepares to attack any other enemy that should try to enter the fray, Slagg triumphantly reaches Pleione, setting himself in front of her so no harm can reach her without passing him first.*

*Feeling more confident and safe, Pleione heals Trayah a tiny trickle, preventing his blood loss.*

*Meanwhile, the second dog, immobile and covered in tangled webbing, struggles futilely against the sticky strands that encase it, failing to break loose.*
