Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC01

[KerlanRayne]

[sblock=Kerlan]You hear distinct, but faint, door slams and clattering back the way you cam before you entered the courtyard. Was that a growl, too?[/sblock]

Having no luck with his crossbow and worried about a possible back attack, Kerlan moves to Q-12 and readies an action to cast Cloud of Bewilderment if one of the leaders comes out of the kitchen door.

 

[Leif]

Battle in the Courtyard continues

Kerlan readies his spell just as there is a great roar and Chieftan Thugler appears in the doorway to the room where the kobolds were defeated. Tylara's foe is out, Manny's foe is out. Ty's beetle connected with one hobgoblin and snapped his leg off with its pincers. One of the group coming up from the south end of the courtyard took his place, however, so there are still two of them battling the beetle. That leaves two more who are running northward (R24 and S24) And, to top it all off Thugler and his orc buddy just busted into the courtyard, looking for some bootay to kick. All the hobgoblins except those fighting the beetle have no foe within reach, so they all just move.

(Guys, I apologize for the inexcusable delay. )

OOC: So did Kerlan get to move? Did Thugler get that far from the door before he could get the spell off?

 

[Leif]

Ooops! Forgot to move Kerlan to Q12. My bad. And it is noted that his spell Cloud of Bewilderment is prepared, and he's all set to go. Here's the corrected "new" map:

 

[KerlanRayne]

Kerlan casts the spell and places the 10' cube in the spaces occupied by the enemy as well as the two squares south of them. The save DC is 16 and they will be nauseated while in the cloud and for for 1d4+1 rounds after they leave it.

Nauseated
Experiencing stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move action per turn.

[SBLOCK=Current Status]Location: Q-12
HP: 26/26
AC: 20, FF: 18, Touch: 12
F/R/W: +3/+3/+5

Beguiler Spell Slots Left:
0th (DC 14): 5
1st (DC 15): 2

2nd (DC 16): Cloud of Bewilderment, (Web), (Web), (Web)[/SBLOCK]

 

[Leif]

Yay, Kerlan!

Thugler and the Half-Orc priest are both doubled-over coughing and gagging. Unfortunately for them, they can't move out of the coud this round.
Thugler's and Quarant's saves vs. Kerlan's Cloud of Bewilderment. (1d20+5=15, 1d20+4=13)

 

[Leif]

Xavier Zalev (npc)

Xavier also turns toward the commotion caused by Thugler and the Half-Orc priest and casts Tasha's Hideous Laughter at the priest, save DC 17.

But the Half-Orc priest (Quarant, but the pcs don't know his name) just smiles broadly and then shakes his head violently, trying to clear his senses, but not having much luck with that due to Kerlan's Bewilderment. Half-Orc priest's Will save vs. Xavier's Tasha's Hideous Laughter. (1d20+5=19)

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

With a quick incantation and sharp forward thrust of her palm, Tylara sends a tiny ball of acid (1d20+5=17) to splash (1d3+1=4) over the half-orc priest. She then readies sword and buckler to face priest and Thugler as they exit the cloud.

 

[KerlanRayne]

Kerlan follows Tylara's lead and targets the Half-Orc as well. He conjures a rock into the air before him that is so hot it smokes. He then sends it hurtling towards the Half-Orc where it strikes home.

OOC: Kerlan casts Kelgore's Fire Bolt for 14 points of damage. Damage to Half-Orc (3d6=14).

 

[Leif]

Sorry, guys. Ok, the spell (Kelgore's Fire Bolt) has already been resolved, so let's move forward, shall we?
