That's a weird thing to keep in a lighthouse.

Lots of rubble, Carrufikus. Some holes in the ceiling to the floor above. Double doors across the way. And a giant scorpion getting ready to go all cassomir on me! Pretty sure we'll need to elucidate it if we want to get by.

Bibi steals a glance after Noroc's reaction. She splutters CAYDEN'S CODPIECE!!! THERE'S something you don't see every day--and are grateful for it!! Ummmm...suggestions? Are there any places we might safely plink away at this beastie?

Elena steps over to see what the others see. She's quiet compared to the others, simply saying, "Peldur, please close the door."

Elena peers over Peldur's shoulder. Any time Carrufikus isn't jumping into her line of sight, she can see the thing. the scorpion stands as if frozen in a contest with Peldur. After a few seconds, she backs up.

Giant scorpions are deadly with their pincers (which can easily grab) and their long stingers, which contain a potent weakening venom.

Elena waits for Peldur to close the door. "A scorpion. Like their smaller brethren, those pincers are powerful and meant to grab prey. They hold them in place while repeatedly stabbing them with their stinger which, in turn, releases a potent poison. Needless to say, that thing is lethal if any of us were alone."

"Fortunately, it did not rush to kill anyone. This is a good thing, though I don't know if it can be reasoned with. It might be worthwhile for us to try to enter the room beyond from outside. Perhaps there's a hole in the northern wall that we can enter through. Regardless, I think entering there should be a last resort."

Noroc nods. I've no quarrel with a scorpion, and maybe if we leave its lair alone it'll have none with us.

I think we can too.

Are you off your herbs?!? Noroc says, aghast. Did you see the size of that thing? It was bigger than a horse!

"I want to see what's in the other room as well. My suggestion was to find egress another way. But if you really want to forge ahead by going through the giant scorpion, I want you to just be aware of the dangers. I will do what I can to help."

I haven't lived this long to let some overgrown vermin dictate where I go and don't go.

Talborel approaches the door, nocks an arrow and gets ready.

Peldur, if you do the honors and get the door, I'll start the dance. We'll pull this thing to the door and let the casters hit it from behind us. Ready? On three.

He's bonkers -- absolutely daft, Noroc mutters, pulling out his "walking stick" and falling in line behind Peldur, shaking his head.

Hard for Peldur to Avoid Notice. Going with Perception

As soon as Peldur moves to close the door, the stand off ends and the scorpion immediately moves to attack him! The door is NOT closed. Peldur's movement causes initiative, so it can be closed with a single action.

Round 1:
Carrufikus: Go
Bibi: Go
Peldur: Go
Scorpion: TBD
Talborel: TBD
Noroc: TBD
Elena: TBD

Peldur begins slowly closing the door, never taking his eyes off of the scorpion. As the winds of the conversation shift, Peldur pauses. He reopens the door and readies to rush in as the other prepare themselves in kind.

Peldur drops down into a lowered stance and rushes into the room. After closing with the scorpion, Peldur unleashes a series of quick strikes to its carapace.

Stride, Tiger Stance, Flurry of Blows

Slash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Slash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Map Templates | DC Chart | Conditions | Abomination Vaults | Extinction Curse| Circus Posts |

Peldur flies into action, taking the fight straight to the scorpion. While his training isn't formal, the bent knees and uneven weight distribution of his stance is a good foil to the scorpion's dance. The first strike slides off the carapace, but the second lands straight!

Round 1:
Carrufikus: Go

With Peldur commiting to the attack, Carrufikus runs in behind him and casts a Ray of Frost. "Fizzlefrost!" He commands which sends a divine ray of cold at the at the huge arachnida!

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Map Templates | DC Chart | Conditions | Abomination Vaults | Extinction Curse| Circus Posts |

Carrufikus stops jumping and starts casting. Unfortunately, he didn't start aiming. The ray of frost strikes the wall behind the scorpion.

It begins to settle into Peldur's mind that he's standing alone, toe-to-toe with a horse sized scorpion...

Bibi's arrow goes wide as she gives up her hidden advantage. The scorpion wastes no time savagely tearing into Peldur:
Left pincer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 for Slashing: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 it then squeezes in its grip for an additional DMG: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14 Squeeze damage is subject to a DC 20 Basic FORT. the stinger stays high, awaiting a foolish biped to try and take its meal away.

Noroc enters the room just as Peldur is dropped to the stone floor. His mouth agape, he nevertheless strides forward, determined to make the scorpion's victory short-lived, or at least costly.

"Noooo!" Carrufikus cries as his new friend, Peldur, drops from the scorpion attack. Remembering not to panic, the young gnome remembers the words needed for healing. He pulls out a small cube with pips on it and declares, "Reinvigormend!" as he casts Heal upon Peldur.

"May Desna restore your health and bring you good fortune!"

Heal: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Bibi, you have this round to decide how to use this.

Peldur wakes with a start and then a groan as he feels the scorpions pincers compress around his abdomen.

Stupid, running in like that. Gotta be smarter. Thankfully, my new friends have been able to cover for my thoughtlessness. Let's get out of these claws first.

Peldur sucks in a quick breath then strikes down at the claw holding him, hoping to crack some chiton and get the thing to drop him.

Peldur lands in a low crouch and quickly backs away to catch his breath.

Bibi's desperate thrust strikes too shallow and she slides off the carapace.

Peldur punches down hard and breaks free! He slides away, but the scorpion doesn't stop. In a frenzy, the scorpion lashes out at all three targets with deadly force:
Right Claw v. Bibi: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Left Claw v. Peldur: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Bibi nods to Noroc, and swiftly moves to improve her position, hoping it doesn't expose her to the nasty pincers or tail. Then she stabs with as much precision as she can muster!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 = 11

Talborel lands a single arrow, but the stress of the situation keeps his mind from remembering the details about scorpions this large.

Noroc slides over, and the scorpion is ready! It's stinger lashes out AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 and drives into Noroc's trap muscle! DMG: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 and a FORT save His swing is knocked off course, and he fails to connect.

Elena's spell zaps again REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 and the scorpion's quick reflexes save it!

Bibi slides into position and uses her lower angle to find a weak spot while the scorpion is distracted. The first thrust misses, but she redoubles and connects for a wicked blow!

It's the most telling hit yet and the scorpion turns towards the halfling!

Carrufikus thinks quickly and casts a Ray of Frost at the scorpion.

"Fizzlefrost"

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Cold Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

He then casts guidance on Noroc.

"Noroc, Let Desna's luck be with you!"

Peldur rushes in with a quick series of strikes, and just as quickly slides away from the scorpion.

Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Stride, flurry of blows, stride

Carrufikus's spell strikes the massive scorpion. Peldur's first blow musses, but the the second is at the base of the neck. He lets fly with a dropping elbow. The head instantly plops at an awkward angle.

The eight-foot-long scorpion crashes, opening a line of sight to a deeply worried Bibi.

Thankfully though, the threat is over.

For killing the pride and glory of the Mudlicker mitflits, each hero earns 80 XP. Bibi, for finally getting in a sneak attack and doing it at the perfect time, earns 1 Hero Point.
