Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC)

There are several places for the party to cross in this room.
Roderic manages to make it almost all the way across the river, when a monsterous centipede rushes down along the stalagtite he's holding for balance and tries to bite him, but fails.
Grok gets partway across the river, but slips on the slick riverbottom and gets washed 10 feet downstream before scrabbling his way back to shore. His upward view as he fell afforded him a glimpse of a monsterous centipede rushing down the stalactite he was holding onto.
John's loose clothing caught the current like a parachute and the current whipped him downstream 7 feet before he was able to claw his way back ashore.
Scrag used his greater mass and visual accuity to stay on his feet and avoid the centipedes alltogether on his way to the other side.
Since Rosalia was set to observe the others attempts at crossing, she easily spotted the two centipedes as they swarmed down on those in the river.

OOC: Try to avoid making assumptions about what rolls mean and the consequences of making or failing them. Tuk and Thrindar can make a spot check now to see if they are surprised, or ready as Rosalia is. If they succeed (DC 10), they get a partial action. Roderic has a partial action and he can move to get across the stream, stand and fight in it with another balance check, or do some other partial action. Scrag is on the opposite shore and is free to make a partial action. Rosalia is able to make a partial action. Grok is prone and soggy and has a partial action. John is prone, unaware of the centipedes, soggy, and generally hating life. Did I miss anyone?

Grok Half-Orc Cleric2

OOC: From the way your post was worded, Yttermayn, I gather that Grok was forced to retreat to the "near" side of the stream. Unless told otherwise, I'm operating under that presumption.

IC: The soggy Grok curses as only a pi**ed off orc can curse. "%^&*$$@@@# Blasted bugs! I'd have made it if I hadn't seen that vile creature! OOC: For his partial action, Grok will stand, and prepare himself as much as he is able for the fight to come.

OOC: a soggy john presently hating life is pretty much perfect in description.


*cough! cough! sputter sputter cough!*

John stands up and looks around, water dripping from every strand of cloth and strand of hair upon him.

"Ok, I made it. every one else ok?" He looks around to find rosalia to see if she has made it accross.
 



OOC: Oh yeah, everyone roll initiative. Once we get all the partial actions for Scrag, Roderic, Grok, and Rosalia, we'll resolve on initiative. So, yeah, we just need Scrags action and everyones init's.
 


"Bugs" states Tuk as he advances stoically towards a position where he can sap his chain to the vermin from a safe distance. As he is able, the mercenary flails one of the vermin with his wicked chain.



Spot: 17
Move to attack from the shore using the chain reach if possible
Initiative: 22
Attack: 20 for 8 dmg
