pfft
shiori draws blood on the creature
it responds with a flurry of teeth and claws, only one claw hits Shiori
Go
Or-chid throws a pebble at the creature but it just bounces off the scales.
Once more Koy attempts to hit the creature with a small glob of acid, but does not really expect any success after the prior attempts.
Attack-ranged touch:
Damage:
This shot is even more off target as the glob flies past all the combatants and strikes the wall on the far side of the room.
Mary continues her technique of aiding the group this time she touches Vis as Shiori is too far away. Hopefully this will allow him to finish the last creature off before the wounds start to accumulate any farther.
Nice try Or-chid but next time aim for the head to make them duck. It will help Vis or Shiori when you do that... Come on Vis, put it down for Or-chid's sake.
Guidance on Vis.
5ft over
Move to pick up crossbow
Shiori moves and readies an action to strike once Vis moves in to flank.
Move to flank with Shori.
Swings his sword hard desperate hit and protect those in his charge.
The creature falls
As the creature falls, Koy moves forward.
What are these? Sorry I was not much use, but much of my magic is less effective in tight confines. I must study to learn other magic which may aid us in situations such as this.
I do not know but I suggest we search this area. He begins suiting actions to his words and searches the area.
"They aren't human, that is for sure." Shiori says before searching around the room herself, checking the door first.
The room was obviously a briefing room in the past, looking through some of the survigin papers it becomes obvious that the guards that were stationed here believed that a riot was coming from the town...and that the guards were preparing to go out and quell it...there is not evidence of what became of them.
Mary looks at the papers, Hmm that seems strange that the townsfolk would riot against the castle. Do you think that the rulers here now were the same back then as well? It would fit as the creatures here are not tht friendly or welcoming.
A large number of ruined bunks have been heaped into a nestshaped
mound in the center of this room.
A huge lizard charges out and attacks, the battle is short and sweet.
will do...
search check if needed...
Search the room. Maybe there are eggs. Mmmmm yummy. Or pets.
I could make an illusion so that it looks like a nice clean room. Although I rather doubt this will help anything.
Nothing of use, unless you want some lizard turds
The door opens and two more of the lizard creatures lay there asleep on bunks.
Several ruined beds lie in various states of disrepair in this
room, their moldy mattresses piled into a filthy heap against
the northern wall.
Will stay very still and quite so as to allow our stealth people to act.
Mary keeps silent as she looks for Shiori to move ahead into the room. If Shiori indicates MAry will follow with the longspear and attempt a coup d'gras on the other at the same time as Shiori.
stealth if needed
coup d'gras damage at range with longspear
Shiori will sneak in and wave Mary in as well.
Both make the saves but heroes win Init
Go
Can we get a map update? So I know where to run to find my doom?
Mary drops the longspear and pulls her morningstar as she moves around to the other side of the creature she was attacking. Ths should allow Vis to come in and get a flank on the creature as well.
attack vs flat-footed prone for
Charge at number nine.
Koy moves in to see what all the fuss is about, and then delays to see whether her companions can put down two formerly sleeping bad guys.
Shiori swings her dagger at the creature again before it has a chance to get up.
Miss
vis. removes the head off of one and gets an AOO as it stands
Shiori takes a cut for 6 damage
Go Shiori take your aoo
Mary sidesteps to the other creature and attacks it as well with her morningstar.
attack for
Ty Mary
Mary plunks her foe while the AOO misses
Go ahead koy Vis and shiori
Steps hard into his swing at the last opponent putting his hips into it.
Aaaaand combat over
I'm out for the night so I can't post the next room
Maybe enjoy some rp together
Why is it that every room we come in has foes of some type? It would be nice if just once we could talk to someone and explain what we need and barter our way through it instead of having to be reduced to violence....
ARrghh, anyways forgive my rant. How are you doing Shiori? It looks like they got you once on the way up. Do you need any healing?
Because any of virtue have long fled this place Mary. This is why it must be cleansed. Left here this rot would fester and grow. Then at some point it would threaten somewhere else. I too would prefer to settle in peace but with such as these. Well... live by the blade and ye shall be just by the blade.
The heroes find nothing of use and make there way into the next area
Old tapestries depicting a seaside castle hang askew on the walls
of this circular room and a thick layer of dust cakes the floor. The
air is musty and weirdly cold. Old bloodstains splatter the walls,
along with numerous brutal gashes and slashes to the stone
itself. Two doors hang askew on hinges in a passageway to the
south, while to the north, a third door lies in fragments on the
floor, opening onto a flight of stairs leading down into darkness.
A second staircase leads upward against the north wall.
"Well, I've been better, that's for sure, then again, I've been worse as well. If you could spare some healing, I would appreciate it." Shiori says with a smile.
Koy continues to follow the others into the next room.
This is a strange place. And that bizarre man with the theatre was the strangest of all. We must watch for him and whatever other traps he may set.
Very true. And though the reeked of evil I tried to give him a chance since he offered hospitality and it would have been churlish to refuse. No however when I see him again I will run him through and flag him with the Wrath of Aspu.
It worries me that he was able to disappear so easily though. Who knows what abilities or tricks he is capable of or where he might be hiding. We need to be at full effectiveness when we run into him again. Shiori, I will do what I can to get you back up into perfect health.
cure lt wound
Upon entering the next room MAry looks at the gouges in the wall. Something powerful went through here but was it muscle or magic that caused this damage. Either way we must be extremely careful should we runinto the damage's owner. IF we do run into it, I sugest we retreat or try hit and run tactics instead.
perception of new room
Who else enters w Mary?
Vis
Mary you see the blood on the walls seems to start running and flowing
Mary steps back out of the room immediately and watches closely to she what exactly happens. Vis, fall back the walls are bleeding and I don't know why.
