X4-5: across the mountains - IC

[Leif]

Bevin "The Beguiler" Rockhammer, Beguiler9, AC:20/17/15 HP:56/5

ooc: Too bad for Bevin that he can not communicate with the creature, and even if he could, the bee has no such capabilities. Summon Monster 2 does not double as glitterdust.
The closest things the bee can do to what you want, are to attack the skeleton (which then has a chance of randomly targeting it, since skeletons are mindless) and to help someone flank.

Just what the spell says about the monster, "attacking the designated opponent to the best of its ability," will be fine. Most bees that I've seen tend to carry on and buzz a bit when they're agitated.

(OOC: incidentally, I've NEVER liked the spell glitterdust so I'm a bit insulted that you would even suggest that.)

Hey Leif, what's up with your dislike of all the good spells?

Girgal misses again.

Aram steps past the giant bee, which is buzzing loudly near the skeleton's head, and back onto the staircase. While the skeleton ignores the bee completely, it does have to deal with two armed men on either side of it. Aram takes advantage of the distraction provided by Father Fuller to strike one good blow, though his other swings miss. He chips off a bit of bone - minor damage, though a bit more than he might have expected given the skeletal nature of the enemy.

Bevin casts Heroism on Girgal.

 

[renau1g]

Father Fuller will again bash the skeletal troll with all his might, easily cracking a few more bones of the enemy, the attack would be of devastating effect against a living foe.

Bzzzt! The bee keeps trying to sting the skeleton but doesn't control its stinger's aim well enough.

The troll skeleton swings its axe at Father Fuller again, but the armor deflects the blow this time. Its claw and bite don't even come close.

ooc: Skelete hp 38/75. PCs to act.

"Keep on beating him down, Girgal! That's why I hit you with my Heroism spell."

[sblock=For Kinem]
I just figured the BS had worn off by now.
[/sblock]

 

[kinem]

[sblock=Rhun]No, plenty of BS around here! FF cast it again on Aram before the battle.

Actually I forgot the negative level.

Aram's full att w/-5 CE is +7/+2 (1d6+5+holy) and +7/+2 (1d6+3+holy).[/sblock]

[sblock=WD]This time only, I'll be nice and let you use the first to-hit roll.[/sblock]

Girgal smashes into the skeleton with a solid blow of his mace-like tail.
