If the Bear goes for DocOcc: Doc Occ summed his feelings up with "$@$%!" as the bear went for him. He briefly thought about flinging his tanglefoot bag at the bear, but he knew the glue could be broken via brute strength and the bear looked mighty strong. No he would go down fighting, spade in hand!
Deferred action: If the bear moves away from Gideon: Dr Ocellus gulped upon seeing what happened to poor Gideon, "Oh my!"
He had a curative potion on his bandoleer but he needed to wait for the bear to move before administering it. Once the bear had moved away, he rushed over and tried to force it down Gideon's throat.
DocOcc has a potion of CLW. If the bear move away he'll try and revive (or at least stabilize) Gideon.
I don't fancy our chances against that bear, I figure if DocOcc is going to die, he might as well take one of the Deathwalkers out with him.
"By Jove that bear is massive!" exclaimed Dr Occellus when Arronus suggested he help out with the bear. He seriously doubted his ability to do anything more than seriously annoy the bear before it ripped him to shreds so instead he threw one of his rapidly diminishing supply of alchemist's fires at one of the wounded deathwalkers. It was a well judged throw that landed spack in the face of the wounded man who horribly went up like a candle.
Dr Ocellus gave Urtar a sympathetic look, "Not entirely sure I'd recommend crossing, well at least not the way I did!"
Thanks I missed that.
Can DocOcc not just climb back up? Does he really need rescuing?
Arms windmilling, Dr Occelus somehow managed to avoid falling into the river! "Oh my! he muttered once it seemed he wasn't going to fall to his doom quite yet.
Trusty spade in hand, DocOcc rushes forwards to stand shoulder to shoulder with Arronus.
"Clearly we're not welcome." remarked Dr Ocellus, "I wonder if they barred the door? Might have to smash it down."
Dr Ocellus follows along without comment.
Do we all need to make will save? Or is this an aura with a radius or something?
Doctor Occellus nods to Gideon and almost unstoppers the potion before Urtar channeled healing energy. He felt much better and said, "On second thoughts, perhaps we should save this for combat use?" He then examines the other potion, trying to figure out what it is.
Once the combat was over Dr Ocellus remarked, "Well that was unpleasant. I guess we'd better patch ourselves up in case there's more lurking about." He then started checking the corpses to see if they carried anything of note.
Doc Occ shook his fist towards the priest in front of him, and he rushed towards him and took a swipe with his spade.
"Oooh You SAVAGE!" grunted Dr Ocellus as the Deathwalker attacked him. He lashed out again with his spade, but his anger made his movements predictable and the Deathwalker dodged aside.
Wielding his trusty spade Dr Ocellus rushes forwards a little fool hardily, to engage one of the Death Walkers hoping the others would be right with him. "Take that you blackguard!" he cries before swinging the spade with a blow that would have been vicious if it had actually hit anything.
Dr Ocellus watches with curiosity as Arronus checks the door. He reflected it was always a pleasure to watch a professional at work.
Keen to get off the bridge, Dr Ocellus moves forwards. He glances down the long corridor before saying, "Perhaps one of you can check these doors for any tricks? They seem the obvious place to check next."
Urtar re magic stone, if we end up getting a lot of situations like this where only one or two people can get to melee that could be a good plan! I mostly designed Dr Ocellus as a melee fighter but lets see how the campaign progresses.
Unless put out, the alchemist's fire continued to burn.
Dr Ocellus waited, surely the deathwalker couldn't last long, he did have a sling but using one and holding the torch seemed impractical.
Doctor Occellus did not like fighting on the bridge, it swayed and what if they fell off! Gingerly he removed a vial of alchemist's fire and lofted it at the deathwalker. It smashed with a dull whoomph!
Torch in his left hand, spade in his right, Dr Ocellus hurried after Gideon, Squeezing past the others in his haste. As he went, his torch sent wild shadows as it was buffeted by the air.
"It's as dark as a hag's nighty down here..." muttered Doc Occelus as he fumbled to get flint and tinder out of his pouch to light a torch.
In roll20 I can see the level below, but I can't move my character or see anything apart from the steps. Should I be able to do something? Edit: OK I can move DocOcc, but I can't see any enemies.
In case it wasn't clear, Doc Occ wants to check out what is down below.
Dr Ocellus said, "Something that scares your rat. That could be almost anything. Still if we go down we should expect a fight, but ideally not among ourselves..."
Oops! Seems they're evil twins...
Outside Dr Ocellus remarked softly to Jenna, Urkar and Tessa "Something tells me this is going to get 'interesting'!"
"Kind of a recon by force" "Capital! Now that's my kind of recon!" enthused Dr Occellus, "If we do spot any traps I might be able sort them out, well on a good day anway, what!"
"Things are going to get exciting, if that warrior makes it back to his camp..." muttered Dr Ocellus, although there really wasn't much he could do about it under the circumstances.
Noting the warrior on the floor in front of him was bleeding out, Dr Ocellus tried to get close enough to the last warrior standing and he lunged at the man's head with his spade!
Dr Ocellus was disinclined to chase on his own, reasoning the native would be retreating towards more of his own kind. So instead he did the only logical thing he could and moved to help Gideon and the others.
Dr Ocellus rushed towards the savage that the risen skeleton was engaging. He circled to flank, but couldn't quite make it before attacking with a probing thrust. In truth he was distracted by the skeleton, he was aware of a ritual that would enable him to dig one up but he'd never actually tried it before.
"Rotter!" cried Dr Ocellus as he was struck. He lashed out at the same warrior as before with the edge of his spade, striking the unfortunate native in the throat!
"Surrounded by savages... Splendid! Best give them what for!" Dr Ocellus remarked to Urtar as he closed to the nearest one and swung his spade with surprising force, hitting the unfortunate native warrior's noggin with a dull CLANG.
Still lurking in the bushes and noting Urtar who was next to him casting a spell Dr Ocellus earnestly prepared to defend him, readying his trusty spade to strike at anyone unfortunate enough to get close!
Improvised weapons, shikigami style:
Adventurer's Armory 2 has this list below, and at the moment DocOcc is wielding what is effectively a garden spade. I think that probably counts as a 2 handed weapon. Since he has two Shikigami Style feats the damage gets bumped up one size category from 1d8 to 1d10. Since he's using this two handed, his attack is +5 (2 bab, 3 str mod) / 1d10 + 4 dmg. Light Weapons (1d4): Arrow or bolt (as melee weapons), book, bottle, broken bottle, bucket, chisel, frying pan, kitchen knife, rolling pin, scissors, skull, spade, straight razor, or tankard. One-Handed Weapons (1d6): Branding iron, candlestick, chain, chair leg, crowbar, femur, grappling hook, scabbard, scepter, shovel, or walking stick. Two-Handed Weapons (1d8): Brazier, chair, digging bar, metal pipe, ornamental greatsword, pitchfork, Small statue.
Dr Ocellus simply waits patiently, spade in hand, to see what befalls. To his surprise, this time at least he managed to avoid stepping on anny twigs.
"Agreed we shouldn't assume, however I'm willing to wager it will become obvious soon enough if we're dealing with cultists or not." muttered Dr Ocellus.
"Their reputation proceeds them, their god and their unholy clergy are renowned for acts of despicable evil..." replied Dr Ocellus.
"If they're Kuthites, I doubt they can be reasoned with." added Dr Ocellus.
Upon hearing this news, Dr Ocellus remarks, "Well that's all kinds of disturbing, not only do we have to worry about spiders getting in out hair, there's cultists too! Mmm what are we going to do about this? Obviously we'll need to set watches tonight, anything else?"
The Doctor shrugged, "Well... I fully recognise the benefit of sneaking, but I've never been any good at it. Always end up snapping a twig or something. Perhaps somebody else in our company is gifted in that regard?"
"cult who worship a manifestation of Zon Kuthon called The Death Walkers at the site" Dr Ocellus was struck by this possibility and he cried, "Cultists?! We I guess we better had scout this place out, wouldn't do to have that sort sneaking up on us to do gods knows what!"
Dr Ocellus gave Tessai a strange look before replying to Urtar, "Erm, that's uh... Let's check out the other structure, maybe it's more auspicious." He then trots off to check the other building.
"Indeed, let's check both." said Dr Ocellus. He followed Tessai to the small building and inspected it closely.
