X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

Ah yes ... establishing that it is not immune to mind affecting spells

After Bevin casts his spell, the winged creature goes limp and just stares off into the night sky for about six seconds, and then resumes its squirming attempts to wriggle free of Nargon.

OOC: Was Nargon able to better secure his hold on the critter during its limpness? (That WAS the whole idea, you know)

 

[kinem]

(ooc: Nargon already had the creature in a fairly secure hold (pinned) assuming that is what he's trying to do. However, this requires continuous effort on Nargon's part, and he can not maintain the hold indefinitely without the risk that the creature will eventually wriggle free.

At this point I see three basic options to keep it down without killing it - club it unconscious with nonlethal damage, let the quasit do the honors with his dex poison, or try to get some rope from the caravan.

Leif: Being that my description of the situation may have been unclear, I'll let Bevin not have cast the spell if you wish.)

OOC: Ok, as bad as i hate to negate one of the few times when Bevin's spell has the desired effect, I'll restore it to my Memorized Spells list. Bevin will, instead, stand ready to cast Daze Monster in case the creature breaks free. Thanks, Kinem. Sorry that I misunderstood.

Aram nods to Nargon. "Put it out until we can figure out what to do with it."

Bevin dashes back to the caravan and asks someone to please give him some rope. Hopefully, he receives some, and then he returns to the party and hands the rope to someone with more skill at using it than he has.

 

[Rhun]

Aram takes the rope and begins to secure the little beastie once Nargon has knocked it unconscious.


Total bonus is +15 to bind someone, +17 if it happens to be silk rope. Take 20 if possible, but by my reading of the skill I'm not sure that can be done.

Bevin dashes back to the caravan and asks someone to please give him some rope.

One of the guards on watch duty goes to a camel and finds a 20' length of hempen rope for him, but not without inquiring

"What do you need rope for now anyway?

By the way, thanks. We were all impressed by the way you guys fought off the bandits."

Bevin says, "Why, thank you, sir! We were just doing what we were hired to do. And the rope? Seems we've caught ourselves a spy....."

 

[kinem]

"A spy!" The guard's expression becomes worried. "You mean one of the bandits? Maybe I should sound the alarm!"
