Zimdoz gathers his dropped weapon, cleans it, checks its functionality briefly, and pulls out his cognatogen. ”Looks like now’s as good a time as any. Cheers mates, see you on the other side.” He raises the steel vial in a mock toast after unstoppering it and downs the concoction. After a moment, his head seems to bulge slightly before returning to normal size and his limbs droop as if he were tired, but he remains standing.
”Mmm, minty... I agree with Amon. Let us be exhaustive in our search.” He then briefly checks the rest of the room out for doors, traps, and anything they might have missed before following the party to the next room.
.
Alldur seems to carefully consider Amon's abilities to harness electricity, working over possibilities. After a moment he moves to examine the halfling bodies.
'Were we looking for halflings?'
Jade moved forward and looked closer at the Halflings. She was studying them, looking for any sort of identifiers that would indicate where they came from and who they were.
Gm note- Khonnir is human
Jade apart from the agate you also find a crumpled letter in one of the pockets revealing the owner to be an inhabitant of Torch called Paxin Bronzeward
Jade you have heard the name, a minor adventurer who has been living in Torch for the last 4 months.
'Well, further on down then?'
I'm assuming by down you mean following the river to A4?
A dark cavern opens up here, its twenty foot high ceiling thick with stalactites. A rocky shore overlooks a placid pool and stream, fed by a trickle of water leaking from a narrow fissure to the north. A small garden of toadstools and dark mould grows along the beach
Observe the area for anything that stands out.
Amon follows the others and examines the area they’re back to. Again some cracks of electricity pulse when he leaves the water, as if his powers were malfunctioning - but much more probable, he was simply still too inexperienced using them.
You can both hear a clawing sound moving around and you see a short, stocky humanoid with webbed feet and claws, this frog-like creature has glowing white eyes. It sees you at the same time and a burst of light comes out of its eyes. Can everyone make a Fort save please
Leetia is set back by the sight of this creature.
Leetia you are blinded.
Zimdoz is unnerved by the creature.
But shakes off the effect.
Amon doesn’t have time to avert his gaze either and the light seems too strong for his eyes.
Amon I'm afraid you are blinded too.
Jade didn't notice anything, at least initially. The the creature appeared and something happened with her eyes.
Jade wracked her brain to try and identify this thing.
Jade you manage to shake off the effect of the eye beam. You realise that the creature is a magical beast known as a Blindheim.
Having averted her gaze just in time, Jade called out, "It's a Blindheim. Don't look directly into it's eyes."
"To late! I can't see, help!" Leetia quivers in her little shoes.
As they progress, Alldur takes a moment to check on Enkil. While his head is bowed, he catches the flash of light out of the corner of his eye.
Alldur and Jade you are fine.
Initiative Order
Alldur 21
Blindheim 20
Jade 17
Amon 11
Zimdoz 11
Leetia 6
Alldur closes his eyes and focuses for a moment and his skin takes on a metallic hue. He then draws his club.
The Blindheim moves forward 5 feet and attacks Zimdoz
Bite (1d20 = 1) Miss.
Jade your go.
Once more pulling her short blade, the Oread moved forward slightly, ready to defend herself.
Amon back to you.
Sorry forgot Amon was blind, Zimdoz your action.
Amon just goes in full defense.
When it's Leetia's turn, she will also go full defense.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Zimdoz will take a step to the side, so that he is between the party and the blindheim, and will reload his dragon pistol (with an ordnance and a regular bullet, popping a bullet out of his cheek in the process. ”Stay behind me if you can, my potion should help protect me”.. He clenches his teeth as he prepares for an incoming attack and readies his weapon to fire next round.
So I think that means we are back to Alldur?
Alldur flings his hand upward in a familiar motion and flings another glob of viscous green gel at the blindheim.
The Blindheim moves and attacks Alldur
Bite (1d20 = 17 +5) = 22 Damage = (1d4 = 3 + 1) = 4
Back to Jade
Sword in hand, Jade moved into position and stabbed at the beast.
Jade your blow is deflected by its scaly hide.
Amon, back to you.
The creature's teeth dig in through Alldur's thickened skin. The slightly man recoils severely with a loud groan, rethinking his position in this battle.
Amon your action.
Amon tries to hurl an electric blast at the position where he hears the monster attacking from, but with no success. His blindness makes him terrible at this! Nevertheless, he doesn’t know he missed and moves towards the sound, hoping to help attack it in melee.
Zimdoz over to you.
Wracking his brain, Zimdoz tries to recall whether the creature like this has fire resistance.
Not recalling anything notable, he steps away onto the shore and grits his teeth, aiming at the creature’s midsection, but slightly distracted by his allies.
He yips as the rapport echoes through the cavern and mutters [b]”I need some alchemical cartridges, this is inefficient.”[/dice]
Sid you know that it is immune to blindness. No other resistances/vulnerabilities.
Your pistol shot strikes it doing significant damage.
Leetia your go.
Leetia will cast detect magic in the direction of all the noise.
You can see a fading magical aura where Alldur's spell hit the creature.
Alldur back to you.
Alldur your action.
Alldur flings another globule of acid at the creature.
The Blindheim dodges nimbly out of the way.
The Blindheim ries to attack Zimdoz again
Bite (1d20 = 16 +5) = 21 damage (1d4 = 3 +1) =4
Claw (1d20 = 13 +5) = 18 miss
Claw (1d20 = 1) miss
Jade your action
Jade took the opportunity to stab at the beast from a flanking position.
Unfortunately, thrust was not well aimed and glanced off of the things hide.
Amon your turn.
Electricity crackles in a circle around 20 feet around Amon, forming again a blade of pure energy on his hands, that he uses to attack the space in front of him with the hopes of hitting their attacker. As much as it goes on the right direction, his own attack comes off and he misses.
