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

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: If M'ress can wait there for a minute or so, fending off attacks, Slagg can just wake up and go in himself. Since the dog cannot climb the rope, it can't help bring him up. Likely the combined might of the three girls who aren't M'ress is still not enough to carry him up, particularly while also climbing. The Rope Trick by definition must be straight up at the top of the rope. However, the rope need not necessarily be long (see the description of the spell's focus))

 

[Bront]

Whinoah will fire past M'ress, till the others are safe.

OOC: No Rapid shot to make up for the cover.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Whinoah hits twice, despite the cover from M'ress, and she manages to take down two more creatures, injured as they are from Lyssa's fiery blast.*

(OOC: Obcurity still gets another turn yet)

 

[Erekose13]

Obscurity will cast magic missile, one at each of two dogs attacking M'ress to give her time to heal more if necessary.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: And when you say one at each, of course, you mean two at each, I presume? Let me know if the plan is to potshot at them while M'ress defends and heals and you wait for people to become conscious? Then I can fast-forward.)

*Missiles of magical energy stream from Obscurity's fingers, shooting into the two remaining beasts (they aren't all dogs--they're all sorts of things) attacking M'ress. Neither of them falls.*

[SBLOCK=OOC]The creatures take 8 and 7 Damage, respectively. Not enough to drop either.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Erekose13]

((ooc: I got lots of first level spells left, just keep shooting. maybe 2 at each of 2 next round then all 4 at one on future rounds. Once Slagg is conscious we'll move to the Rope Trick))

 

[Rystil Arden]

*M'ress heals Slagg as the creatures move in to attack M'ress, managing to score another hit.*

*At this point, Obscurity and Whinoah shoot all three of M'ress's assailants and knock them out. The remaining creatures back up out of sight, but not out of hearing, blocking the top of the ship. They don't want to engage with this setup, it seems.*

"I'm still working on the ones down here, but I'm guessing the ones up there include some that were only knocked out, so those will be after us eventually," Lyssa ponders as she kills another one.

*M'ress then heals Trayah and Pleione again, then Trayah again, and a minute later, Slagg wakes up, so they all go in the Rope Trick. When they get inside, Pleione wakes up. A bit later, Trayah does too, though his breathing is ragged and his body shakes with exertion and enervation whenever he tries to move.*

[SBLOCK=OOC]
M'ress takes another 15 Damage, total 32.

Slagg recovers 6 HP and is still at -3.

Whinoah knocks out both of the creatures Obscurity injured.
Obscurity knocks out the third creature.

Slagg recovers 4 HP and is at 1.

Trayah recovers 6 HP and is at -2.
Pleione recovers 3 HP and is at 2.

Trayah recovers 4 HP and is now at 2.

*Once they are comfortably settled inside the Rope Trick, Lyssa turns to everyone. She is a beautiful amethyst-haired woman with blue eyes. She wears a tattered and somewhat-ruined dress with gashes that correspond to some rather horrid wounds, as well as a beautiful necklace, a bejeweled circlet, and a brooch of jade on her chest that is cracked and dull.*

"Very well fought, all of you. I'm afraid I only got to meet Rowanne, though. I am Lyssa, and it looks like both you and I have come here looking for my little cousin Lexi. What are your names?"

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: I'm at 4/7/2. and 2hp)

Relaxing from the adrenaline high once up in the rope trick, Obscurity turns to Lyssa, "Welcome, Lyssa. Everyone I know it was quite hectic out there, but it looks like we made it. Everyone this is Lyssa. Lyssa, you shouted out that you too were looking for Alexia."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Looks like you started posting that last before my post above )

"Yes, my dear cousin has gone missing. She's a bit misguided sometimes, but I've always hoped that she would see the light some day. These things attacked me in large numbers--apparently they don't like me very much. I retreated to the broken ship for cover and managed to kill a lot of them, though the cracked halves of the ship started sinking into the muck, and more and more kept coming until eventually they had me cornered and I couldn't get off a spell without them interrupting it."
