The Second Face of Evil

[kabkal]

Lola seeing nothing coming from the grimlocks decides to climb back up to see if she can help the injured. She will climb up as far as she can and let another energy burst go by, trying to avoid healing the grimlocks.

Round 10 Continues

Marcus drops his crossbow and moves over to where he can reach Tex. He then reaches down and grabs hold.

Annoyed at the second grimlock's negation of his accomplishment, Cyrius materializes his mind blade in its longsword form, offers a quick prayer to Athena, and flings the weapon at Grimlock 2. Unfortunately, even with prayers offered, the blade misses.

Prost quietly moves to the edge of the cliff and fires on Grimlock Archer 2. He misses.

The tanglefoot bag holding Tex to the wall disintigrates. Fortunately, Marcus has a good hold on Tex and drags him up to safety.

Worrell continues trying to climb upwards but again fails to make progress.

Lola seeing nothing coming from the grimlocks, slings her crossbown and decides to climb back up to see if she can help the injured. Unfortunately, she makes no progress.

Round 11 Begins

Remaining prone, Grimlock Archer 1 retrieves a potion from his own belt and downs it [healed 2 hp]

Grimlock Archer 2 resumes firing at Cyrius, sinking two arrows into him [12 hp damage total]

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Those on the floor of the cavern can shoot at the grimlocks on the ledge, but the grimlocks have cover (+4 AC). They do not have cover from up above (Cyrius and anyone higher).

[Duniagdra]

Marcus will fire his loaded crossbow at grimlock 2, then load his masterwork bolt to fire next.

[Duniagdra]

if it's decided that Marcus needs to stand after pulling Tex up, then he loads the masterwork bolt next round.

[JPetherick]

Worrell will continue trying to climb the rough ladder. He moves rather quickly this time and moves 10 feet upwards.

Round 11 Continues

Marcus picks up his loaded crossbow and fires it at Grimlock 2. A well-aimed shot plunges a bolt into the creature's neck [critical confirmed: 9 hp damage]

Persevering in the face of adversity, Cyrius again materializes his mind blade in its longsword form and hurls it at Grimlock 2 once more. Like Marcus' shot, Cyrius' throw is well-aimed [4 hp damage]

Hiding in what cover he can find Prost loads and fires his MW Light Crossbow at Grimlock 2. The grimlock is not surprised by this shot, but still is unable to avoid it [no sneak attack, but still 6 hp damage]

Tex lays there, dreaming of flying on clouds.

Worrell continues trying to climb, moving rather quickly this time and advancing 10 feet upwards.

Lola casts another storm burst at the standing Grimlock. Unfortunately, the intervening ledge blocks the wind and lightning [missed due to cover]. Lola then makes some progress climbing up the rope.

Round 12 Begins

Remaining prone, Grimlock Archer 1 drinks another potion [healed 8 hp]

Badly injured after three excellent shots from his foes, Grimlock Archer 2 likewise retrieves a potion and drinks it [healed 3 hp]

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Those on the floor of the cavern can shoot at the grimlocks on the ledge, but the grimlocks have cover (+4 AC). They do not have cover from up above (Cyrius and anyone higher).

Worrell heaves himself over the edge of the cliff and continues moving until he is behind his companions. He then calls upon his connection to Mitra to channel positive energy.

Round 12 Continues

With no potions of his own, Marcus scrounges through Tex's gear. Lo and behold, he finds a potion that, from the color, he suspects to be Cure Light Wounds. [I am aware this contradicts what tdsprouse said, but I'm still showing Tex with a potion, so perhaps you are benefiting from a DM oversight. You're welcome.]

Encouraged by the party's showing last round, Cyrius materializes his mind blade in its longsword form once more and again hurls it at Grimlock 2. Athena chooses this time to remind Cyrius of the vagaries of war, as his throw is not as deadly as he first hoped. Still, it's enough to cause a grievous wound to the grimlock [10 hp damage].

Seeing Cyrius' success at dealing with Archer 2, Prost attacks Archer 1. He misses.

Tex dreams about potions and other forms of healing.

Worrell heaves himself over the edge of the cliff and continues moving until he is behind his companions. He then calls upon his connection to Mitra to channel positive energy [Worrell, Marcus, Prost, and Tex healed 4 hp]. His dreams answered, Tex is conscious again.

Lola continues to climb up the rope, making it to just below Cyrius.

Round 13 Begins

Grimlock Archer 1 stands up and fires a single arrow that just barely misses Cyrius.

Grimlock Archer 2 is more accurate. Both his arrows hit Cyrius [11 hp damage total]

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Those on the floor of the cavern can shoot at the grimlocks on the ledge, but the grimlocks have cover (+4 AC). They do not have cover from up above (Cyrius and anyone higher). Bless: +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects for all PCs except Prost, 31 rounds left Round 13 Continues Marcus Tilsworth: CLW potion and unloaded crossbow readied, 5 elemental rays left, 22 bolts left + 1 MW bolt, 15 hp damage Cyrius of the Sudden Blade: empty handed, climbing (no DEX bonus to AC), 28 hp damage Evan Prost: unloaded crossbow readied, 13 bolts left, darkvision 171.0 min, 3 hp damage Texudus TreeBender: prone, 13 arrows left, 51 hp damage Worrel: longbow dropped at 516, empty handed, 113 arrows left, 0 lay on hands left, uninjured Lola: empty handed, sunrod dropped at 616, 32 bolts, 5 channel energy, 5 storm burst left, climbing (no DEX bonus to AC), uninjured Round 14 Begins Grimlock Archer 1: 8 hp damage Grimlock Archer 2: 26 hp damage

[Duniagdra]

Marcus hands Tex the potion and reload his crossbow with his masterwork bolt.

I believe that's two move actions so he'll fire next round.

[CGM3]

This time Cyrius manifests his mind blade in its rapier form and hurls it at Grimlock #2.

Worrell remembers that he has left his bow at the bottom of the cliff and has no way of harming the grimlocks across the way. Looking about, Worrell picks up a rock and hurls it the same grimlock that Cyrius is targetting. He doesn't try to harm the creature but merely distract it so that Cyrius is more likely to hit it.

Round 13 Continues

Marcus hands Tex the potion and reloads his crossbow with his masterwork bolt.

This time Cyrius manifests his mind blade in its rapier form and hurls it at Grimlock #2. Unfortunately, he misses.

Prost reloads his crossbow and fires on Grimlock Archer 1. Like Cyrius, he misses.

Tex remains prone, crawls away from the edge of the cliff, and drinks the potion [Tex healed 2 hp].

Worrell remembers that he has left his bow at the bottom of the cliff and has no way of harming the grimlocks across the way. Looking about, Worrell picks up a rock and hurls it the same grimlock that Cyrius is targeting. He doesn't try to harm the creature but merely distract it so that Cyrius is more likely to hit it [Technically, Aid Another is only to be used in melee, but this is nicely creative, so I'll allow it. Cyrius will receive a +2 bonus on his attack next round].

Lola continues to climb up the rope. She nears the top of the cliff.

Round 14 Begins

Grimlock Archer 1 begins shooting at Lola. He hits twice [15 hp damage total]

Grimlock Archer 2 manages to hit Cyrius only once [6 hp damage]

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Those on the floor of the cavern can shoot at the grimlocks on the ledge, but the grimlocks have cover (+4 AC). They do not have cover from up above (Cyrius and anyone higher).

[CGM3]

Encouraged by Worrel's attempt to distract the grimlocks, Cyrius again manifests his mind blade, this time in longsword form, and hurls it at Archer #2. (Then, considering how badly hurt he is, he'll be scaling the cliff face for the top, Athena willing.)

Instead, he targets the stalactites above the grimlocks, hoping to knock loose some bits or rock, or critters?
