World's Largest Dungeon

[Boddynock]

OOC: I can't believe you folks walked blindly (term used advisedly) into a room which you knew had gone dark!

"Oh-ho," said the swordsman, brandishing his weapons and striking a flourishing pose, "are you so ugly that you dare not show your face? Never mind, my dear - my Lady still longs to kiss your night-black skin, her sister to stroke your cheek. And who am I but their servant, bound to fetch and carry, eager to dance to their desires."

As he hears the others enter, Jerolan's heart sinks a little. In this dark it will be as easy to strike friend as foe - easier, perhaps. Still, there's nothing for it but to brave the dark - and to do it with flair!

"Friends, move to the walls. Speak, so that we may know one another. And if anyone can raise this accursed darkness, do so - with all speed!"

Jerolan himself remains a little distant from the wall at his back. He will take it upon himself to search out and deal with their attacker.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Thorg presses against the wall to the right of the door, shield up. He slowly feels his way along the wall, trying to get some sense of the room.

Listening to Jerolan's instructions, Thorg replies, "Uh... Hi. My name's Thorg. What's your name?"

OOC:[sblock]Thorg will use his shield for full cover this round.[/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Baeril yodels the "Song of the Lonely Lamb" quietly.

 

[industrygothica]

Carolina stowes her crossbow in favor of her faster-loading sling. While the others are busy making noise, she keeps her back to the wall and circles the room hoping to get a better feel for the layout, and possibly get into a flanking position.

 

[Kafkonia]

The sound of something fleshy striking the ground echoes through the room, longer and louder than echoes you are used to.

[SBLOCK=Aswan and Thorg]
Although all you can really see are shadows of different depths, you're pretty sure something came from the ceiling and narrowly missed Aswan. It looked like it was about the same size as Carolina or Baeril, but you couldn't make out its shape. You have a pretty good idea that it's in front of Aswan right now.[/SBLOCK]

Round 2:

21: Baeril
10: Carolina
8: Aswan fails to grab hold of the creature before him.
7: Jerolan approaches and misses the creature before Aswan.
7: Mysterious assailant misses Jerolan.
5: Thorg draws his mace and moves over to Aswan.

 

[Boddynock]

Jerolan hears the fleshy thump and calls out immediately, "Hey, cutters, are you all right? Quiet now - answer when I call your name. Carolina? Thorg? Baeril? Aswan?"

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"I'm okay!"

OOC: Is Aswan in touch range from me?

 

[Kafkonia]

OOC: Is Aswan in touch range from me?

OOC: No. I'm following the order of actions given previously, and since Thorg is supposed to back up Jerolan, and Jerolan steps to the left while Aswan steps to the right, I'd have to say you're on opposite sides of the doorway. Especially since Thorg acted last in the round. So it went as follows, going by initiative order:

Jerolan enters, steps left. Aswan enters, steps right. Baeril enters, steps left. Carolina enters, steps right. Thorg enters, steps left. So 3 of you are to the left of the doorway (Jerolan, Baeril, Thorg, door) and two are to the right (door, Carolina, Aswan.)

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

"Here! I had no idea we'd be playing Blind Man's Bluff when I woke up this morning ..."

 

[wmasters]

Aswan jumps as the thing comes close to him, feeling the air rushing past him as it came close to hitting him.

"I'm okay," he says, "but I don't think whatever is here is friendly!"

If he's still close enough, Aswan will attempt to use his Neraph camoflague and grapple the assailant. Otherwise he readies to grapple it when it comes close enough. (ooc: Touch Attack = 16, Grapple check = 9)
