X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

[kinem]

ooc: I will assume you have landed the raft at a riverbank and will take your stand on the ground nearby.

How spread out will you be?

BTW, I assume that Girgal is riding Ripclaw, but I need to know if that is not the case.

 

[Walking Dad]

ooc: Girgal will be riding Ripclaw. He will cast Produce Flame in preparation of the fight.(Maximal a minute before the wyvern comes into his 120' range. BTW, can a druid share produce flame with his companion?

 

[Rhun]

Aram will stay a bit apart from the magic-users, in between them and the approaching trolls. He'll have is bow ready, and start firing when the first foes come into range. He'll drop it and switch to scimitars before they come into melee range.

 

[Leif]

OOC: How spread out are we? That depends upon the terrain. Are there slopes, hills, rocks, etc., or just level smooth grass? How easy is it to step from the bank into the water? Is it an easy step, or are the banks much higher than the water? What cover is nearby, if any?

Bevin will cower behind Aram to cast his spell, since Aram is being so conveniently prominent! ("Magic-users" Rhun? You're showing your age!! )

 

[renau1g]

OOC - Rajah will be atop his steed Bones. He'll attempt to be at behind the front lines, probably 20'. If the trolls approach sooner than the wyvern, Rajah will change his actions, but I'll wait & see what happens.

 

[kinem]

The terrain is largely flat and supports only small bushes in this area.

Aram shoots a couple of arrows at the distant wyvern but these miss.

The wyvern swoops low over the trolls and as it does they all seem to speed up. From what you can tell, there seem to be many men atop the wyvern in oddly close positions, which you realize must be the result of a magical illusion.

Aram shoots off a couple of more arrows, and one of these hits the oncoming wyvern.

Rajah casts his spell and as he does the wyvern slows and shrieks, descending rapidly to land.

The trolls, having broken any pretense of hiding a while ago, are continuing to charge closer.

ooc: Still to act this round are Girgal/Ripclaw, Nargon, (and Bones if desired)

[sblock=Walking Dad]You can't share Produce Flame; it does not have "You" listed as the target of the spell, as personal spells do, so you are not technically casting it on yourself.[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

Bevin, Dwarf Rogue2/Wizard(Enchanter)6, AC20 FF17 T15, HP44/44, Fort+4 Ref+6 Will+5

While the monsters are still on their way to us, Bevin immediately casts Heroism on Aram.

[sblock=Aram]The spell gives you a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls, saves, and skill checks for 60 minutes.[/sblock]

Seeing the approaching enemies, and knowing that within moments the stinking massive trolls would be upon them, Rajah knew he'd need to slow them down. Rummaging around in his component pouch for a moment until his hand found the rubbery piece of tentacle he purchased from a shady alchemist before their current travels. Rajah pulls it out and holds it in his hand as he recites the words to a spell and grins eerily as the tentacle dissolves. The ground explodes with tentacles taller than the approaching trolls and composed of a rubbery black composition. They immediately attempt to grasp onto all the creatures in the area, including both trolls, the wyvern, and possibly its rider.

[kinem]

[sblock=ooc]OK, Rajah actually should be able to act this round, as should Bevin. My bad.[/sblock]

Both trolls and the grounded wyvern are caught by the large writhing black tentacles, and the rider seems to be struggling as well.

ooc: PCs still able to act this round are:

Bevin, Girgal/Ripclaw, Nargon

 

[Walking Dad]

Girgal

Feeling bold, Girgal dircts Ripclaw to move just close enough for his next spell to reach all enemies.
The little bit of sand he holds in his hand transforms in a forcefull sandstorm.

[sblock=ooc] 30' cone shaped burst. 8d6 damage.no damage type. no SR. Reflex DC 19 for half-damage (Are reflex saves possible while grappled?)

Blast of Sand (8d6=35)[/sblock]
