Turn 14 - I felt the earth move under my feet....

[Zed]

[Corny I know ... need to work out whos still playing. I have:
Raving, Entropy, Cull, Medi, Kegs, Piper or what ever he is currently - Ive had a request from Goatta to join us at some point so thats not a problem....]

Atak moves slowly forwards, his magic radiating out from him looking for any signs of magic aura's in the area [No ability to detect life .. yet] His brother Thak ever close by his side.

He moves forwards 10 or so feet, there is a slight tremor in the ground around him, then another step, it comes again, a third step and with a roar the ground seems to vanish about him and Thak. Behind Bamoin curses loudly.

Both crash some 30 feet downwards landing amidst heavy jagged rocks and rubble. [Thak: 12 Dam, Atak: 14 Dam]

Almost at the same time a large shape races from the passageway to the north into the darker pit beneath you...

Actions:

The pit is the whole of the room - some 30ft deep it covers an area of 60ft in length and at its peak - 30ft in width. The beast is 30ft from Thak and Atak, the rest of the group are 30ft up 10 feet behind the two fallen comrades (ill try to find a map program somewhere;-- see attached: Red is thak and Arak, green rest of the party, Blue - Da monster]

Status:

Arak: 16/30
Thak: 54/66
Knok: 39/39
Siggni: 63/63
Bamoin: 42/42
Caligula: 47/47

I think Siggi has throwing axes (Not sure now) If she does she will loose them off at the thing. Then she will run and leap in to the pit with axe and shield, aiming to land ON the creature and whack it with sheld and axe as she lands on it.

"Kord give me a soft landing" she mutters under her breath

 

[Entropy]

[ooc oh **** ]

"Raaaaaarggghhh! At last something to kill Thak! Someone get that drunken cleric down here - we could use some help."

Having said that, Arak is going to use his strongest protective magic on himself and Thak, and the rest of the group if possible too. He's also going to position himself behind Thak as he casts this magic. Once that's done, he's going to pelt the beast with any offensive magic that specifically targets it (he doesn't want to lob a fireball down there and nuke half of the party). If he doesn't have any def magic, he'll go for something that shields himself and his brother (an illusion if possible), but in that case, he'll cast a duration based offensive magic (like acid arrow or something) before the illusion, so that he and Thak have time to regroup.

 

[Guy]

Caligula takes one look at the pit and the beast within and shudders. Very carefully and slowly he starts walking... Backwards.... to ensure there's as many people as possible between him and the creature. Safely positioned at the back he starts urging the others forward with a poke of his dagger in their backs until he can get close enough to lend a hand

 

[Kegs]

Hearing his brothers cry and the words of magic Thak will position himself between the beast and his brother, once done so he will scream out a blood curdling battle cry and attack (beserk if possible) the creature trying to get it to deal with him and leave his brother alone and give the rest of the group a chance to get down into the pit.

(OOC: Fingers crossed. )

 

[Raving]

OOC, Zed let me know what magics I can do mate.


Knok lets and arrow fly at the beast, and then another, and geuse what a 3rd as soon after that as he can.

 

[Entropy]

[OOC - you haven't just lost half of all of your hits from falling down a hole Kegs ]

 

[Medivac]

Bamoin looks fleetingliy at the way out, curses again then walks to the edge of the drop.

Pulling a length of rope from his pack.....

"Arak grab the end of this !! " Bamoin shouts as he tosses the loose end over the drop.

[ooc: hopefully if we can get Arak to the rope fast we can haul him up, then do the same for Thak]


With a sideways glance at Caligula, Bamoin shouts " Either heal them of slow that thing down !! "


[ooc:] Feel the excitement in the air , as we spring into action

 

[Cullhaven]
