The Second Face of Evil

[kabkal]

Lola is still delaying since there is no where for her to go. She will continue to have an attack ready in case something comes close enough to hit.

[ooc]Tex goes after Marcus, But Marcus will have to move to LoS to cast his spell.[/ooc]

[JPetherick]

Worrell advances into the chamber to allow his companions to move ahead. After Marcus has done whatever he is going to do, the paladin moves further in to engage the grimlock and krenshar.


[ooc]Move - 20 ft to 0311
Hold Move action until after Marcus casts
Move - 20 ft to 0412[/ooc]

[CGM3]

Cyrius strives to resist the effects of the krenshar's appaling antics--

Will save 1D20+5-2 vs DC 12:
[dice]0[/dice]

[CGM3]

--and succeeds handsomely!

[ooc]For future reference, would the +1 morale bonus to save vs fear, from the bless spell, have factored in?[/ooc]

Cyrius makes his way to 0412, to allow his companions entrance, and charges his mind blade with psychic energy.

[patransom]

Tex goes after Marcus, But Marcus will have to move to LoS to cast his spell.

[ooc]Yes. I'm going to assume Marcus' action includes moving to where he can see to cast the spell. I still need an action from Tex.[/ooc]

For future reference, would the +1 morale bonus to save vs fear, from the bless spell, have factored in?

[ooc]Yes, it would have. Cyrius succeeded even more handsomely.[/ooc]

[tdsprouse]

Tex double moves to 0212.

Round 3 Continues

Marcus interrupts by asking no one to advance before he can cast a spell...

Prost continues to flee from the source of his fear as best he can.

Worrell advances into the chamber to allow his companions to move ahead...

While the rest of his allies delay, Marcus moves into position and casts create pit. The krenshar leaps clear onto the sloped side of the pit, but the creature's grimlock master finds himself at the bottom [5 hp damage].

After Marcus has cast his spell, Worrel moves further in to get closer to the grimlock and krenshar [I chose to have you avoid the sloped edges of the pit... let me know if you'd prefer to move as posted; it would require a Reflex save].

Lola continues to have an attack ready in case something comes close enough to hit.

Tex advances into the room.

Cyrius, resisting the effects of the krenshar's appalling antics, makes his way into the room, to allow his companions entrance, and charges his mind blade with psychic energy [See note above about avoiding the edge of the pit...].

Round 4 Begins

The grimlock kennel master, in a heap at the bottom of the pit, stands up and picks up his bow.

The remaining krenshar retreats from the slippery edge of the pit and directs its anger at Marcus, peeling back its skin and howling. The sight leaves Marcus shaken (for 1 round) and less likely to resist the frightening effects of the wail [Marcus needs a DC12 Will save (don't forget the -2 for being shaken and +1 for bless) to avoid being frightened for 2 rounds].

OUT OF CHARACTER

This entire area is difficult terrain (2 squares to move 1 square; no 5 foot steps). If a square has a number it it, you can stand there without squeezing. If it doesn't have a number in it, you can't stand there. There's shading to show the extent of normal and dim light from Lola's sunrod. The shadowy area is dim light, although Tex and Prost can see normally there thanks to darkvision.

[smeltdm]

Prost continues to flee and Hustles to 0804.

[kabkal]

Seeing there is nothing in sword range, Lola will look for a place to put the light source so that it still lights up the room. If she can find such a place she will set the light there and switch to bow. If she cannot she will just move forward a little and keep her sword out.

Prost continues to flee. He starts to feel less scared now, though.

Shaking off the krenshar's attempt to frighten him, Marcus loads his crossbow and shoots at the krenshar, hitting [3 hp damage]

Lola drops the sunrod on the stairs, sheathes her sword, and readies her crossbow, although she does not have time yet to load it.

Cyrius steps in front of Tex and flings his mind blade at the krenshar, but also misses.

Round 5 Begins

The grimlock kennel master, confused at suddenly being in a pit, shoulders his bow and begins to attempt climbing the walls. He makes no progress.

The krenshar attacks Worrel with bite and claws, but is unable to penetrate the paladin's armor [missed x3].

For Marcus' action, he will retrieve one alchemist flask and Target the grimlock in the pit taking advantage of higher ground.

[CGM3]

Tex moves to 0313 to get a better angle on the krenshar.

Lola will load her crossbow to fire next round.

Round 5 Continues

Prost, feeling a bit better, and embarrassed at fleeing battle, gathers his wits and hustles back toward the fight, hoping he can aid his companions and redeem himself.

Marcus retrieves an alchemist flask and tosses it into the pit in the general area he suspects (correctly) the grimlock to be. The flask lands directly on the creature's head and, although the initial burst of flame is a little disappointing, it still sets him on fire [1 hp damage this round, on fire].

Worrell swings his longsword at the krenshar and kills the beast.

Lola loads her heavy crossbow to fire next round.

Tex moves further into the cave. With the krenshar gone and no line of sight to the grimlock, he waits for a new target.

Cyrius re-materializes his mind blade as a rapier and charges it with psychic energy, waiting for the grimlock to come up.

Round 6 Begins

The grimlock kennel master, too distracted by being on fire to try climbing the pit, frantically tries to extinguish the flames. He fails.

Cyrius will reserve action, ready to attack fling his mind blade at the grimlock when it appears.

[ooc]Better? [/ooc]

[Duniagdra]

Would anyone like me to end the pit early, just to finish this, or let him burn down there?

[patransom]

Would anyone like me to end the pit early, just to finish this, or let him burn down there?

[ooc]Create Pit is not dismissable. If it were, it would have a (D) at the end of the duration entry (see, for example, Beast Shape).

If most of you are going to wait for the pit to go away, however, I can move us ahead a little faster. If you're readying, please give some specifics. For example, "Cyrius readies to throw his mind blade as soon as the grimlock emerges from the pit." Or "Worrel readies to attack if the grimlock comes within reach."[/ooc]

[Duniagdra]

Marcus slaps himself in the forehead, having a, doh, moment.

Sorry guys, I forgot. We have to wait for it to run its course.

He loads his crossbow and readies to fire as soon as the grimlock emerges.

[smeltdm]

[ooc]Prost will in two rounds make his way to were he dropped (0209) his crossbow, I think... [/ooc]

Prost moves to were he dropped his crossbow (0209)...

[kabkal]

Lola will move forward 5' to get aim on the pit for when the thing comes out.

OUT OF CHARACTER

I am good with moving this along if there is nothing else around.
