Any new heads to cauterize?
LeMond Asher |
Asher dodges and rebuffs head after head as they hydra continues to focus on him, but he doesn't give up his offensive and tries to cut another head free.
sunder: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Well dang. I've got a 25% chance to do 0 damage with this dagger. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Cretien Dufrene |
not to be overly picky but bave you been remembering the follow-on fire damage after each grenade? Or is that not enough to cauterize?
Cretien Dufrene |
targeting such that i cauterize as many heads as possible, but if i have to leave any heads out i will try to avoid hitting an ally. All firepower dice will go to the beast's heads.
dmg, half fire half piercing: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 DC 16 reflex halves
firepower damage, half fire half piercing: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4 on the squares i targeted at the end of the round, they burn for 1 round

Falko was able to Sunder a head but Asher was not. (you didn't break the hardness threshold.)
Reflex 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Cretien is successful in cauterizing two of the heads.
Will 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22pass
AOO against Falko 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 miss
AOO against Asher 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 hit 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Hydra attacks Falko 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 miss
Hydra attacks Asher 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 miss

i will try to wait until everyone else has had a chance to sunder the last head before trying to cauterize, but not so long that they start to grow back, obviously

Asher goes full defensive, and turns to shout back toward the ladder deeper into the ship.
"Someone, bring up a small keg of Fire Dust! Something that won't blow up the whole damned ship."

Johnathan's whirling swirl of color leaves the Hydra and its last remaining head mesmerized and out of sorts. Falko steps forward and chops the remaining head.
Cretien's shot explodes causing enough firey havoc to cauterize all of the remaining heads on the beast. The beast falls onto the deck.
Combat Over
Falko Escheus |
Falko let's himself slip to the gut and blood covered deck, singing hydra heads lying left and right of him. His head bowed in extreme exhaustion, he starts shivering, but the shivers are gradually replaced with giggles, then he bursts out laughing, grateful for surviving.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!!" he shouts to nowhere in particular.
Johnathan Eli Holbrook |
Johnathan sighs in relief, his fingertips still crackling with sparks of green, red, blue, and yellow. He clenches his fists until the sparks die, then limps over to where he had been sleeping before the hydra came aboard. He lays down and curls in the fetal position.
Cretien Dufrene |
"I had heard such things existed, but I didn't believe it to be real. Why did it attack us?"
GMEDWIN |
Asher and the rest of you may have been wondering what the rest of your crew had been doing as you recover from the hydra attack as one of the RRN sailors that was given to you by the head of the RHC limps to the top deck with blood all over his body, as he trembles he says, "Sirs, some kind of spirit thingy..." as he collapses to the deck.
Cretien Dufrene |
"Let's check on it then." Cretien says, packing up his turret to move with the others.

You follow the blood trail to where the former captain was being interred with Kranto, the remains of Captain are gruesomely familiar. His skull has been ripped open, his jaw dislocated, and his brain has been eaten. It's the same for Kanto. Finona bloody from fighting cabin is in ripped clothing.
'I cannot believe what has happened. I saw Dr. Meredith merge and demerge with a translucent being whereby it ate the brains of several crew members. It was horrific. While she fought me with her pick. I think they were together when she first attacked me and then it demerged and she cried and then it came back after eating. It then knocked me out briefly and they both disappeared.'
She whimpers and continues, "It was all so fast. Several of my ritual components and candles are missing', she remarks, 'as well as some scrolls'.
She then takes you further below decks where a trail of blood (and the odd dead crewman, seemingly ripped apart by strong hands, but not eaten) lead to the furthest corner of the lowest deck. Here, a ritual circle has been set up.

"A teleportation scroll was used here, and it's destination was Flint."
Angus McCormick |
and so WE let escape à brain eating monster from an other plane into Flint. WE should have killed her when WE had the chance. Sometimes i hate the badge.
He says more disappointed in himself more than anything else
Cretien Dufrene |
"Yes, well, we all know that isn't allowed. And we had no proof 100% that would hold up in trial."
Cretien Dufrene |
"Anyone have a way to get a message to Flint before us? The ACI needs to know."
LeMond Asher |
While the group of constables research the magical side of things, Asher will patrol the ship, making sure no one else is injured, that no other monsters (slime or otherwise) are making their way onto the ship, and that the watches are replaced and actively keeping an eye on threats.
Johnathan Eli Holbrook |
As Asher walks past Johnathan, he speaks up quietly from his nook among the barrels and cargo on deck, still in the fetal position. "We're not in danger anymore. Try to rest. So much danger ahead..."
LeMond Asher |
Asher looks down at the cowering Johnathan. "Yeah?" he says, taking a drag from his cigarette, and offering another one to the young constable. "What do you see?"
Johnathan Eli Holbrook |
Johnathan accepts the cigarette, attempting to take a drag and immediately bursting out coughing from the ground. He holds it back out to Asher.
"Smoke."
It's not clear whether he's answering Asher's question or just referring to the cigarette, but he nods and lays his head back down.

You make your way to the bridge where Captain Smith is piloting the ship and has his hands on the wheel. He says, "I was told of the monsters on the deck, [b]"Wow, a hydra. Those things are impossible to kill and somehow you pulled it off. Amazing! I just tried to keep the ship asail"
