Noting the long reach these minotaurs had, Jim knew he had to get up close and personal. Ducking and diving, he weaves like an acrobat past Daniel and slides under a wild swing. "These things stink!" he spat, as his blade described an arc that hopefully intersected with the nearest one.
On the balls of his feet, Jim prepared to parry the inevitable counter attack. Opportune Parry:
Jim watches the little goblin work, and it struck him he couldn't for the life of him remember his name. Considering how long he'd been around for quite a while, he was now too embarrassed to ask.
Jim didn't know what to make of a room that was a spell caster, such things were well and truly beyond his his ken. Shaking his head, he said "Come on let's see what's in the next room, surely everything can't all be like that." He checked the first door.
Still more than a little scared, Jim said "After you..."
"It's what I didn't that worries me!" replied Jim.
Jim leaves the room and slams the door behind him, "Trust me, you don't want to go in there!"
Just as soon as he stepped in, Jim instantly regrets it crying "Nope!"
Seeing the others hesitate, Jim sighs and steps through.
"Agreed, I'm in no hurry to get burnt to a crisp!" muttered Jim.
"I'm sure you'll be fine bearer of these holy items, anyway shall we move on?" said Jim who started walking.
Jim was the last one to leave, part of the reason he was doing all this was to test himself. Something about the simplicity about a challenge of champions appealed to him, much of what was going on here was over his head but combat was something he knew well. He looked back as the wall of fire sprung up again and shrugged, some day he would be back.
Jim spoke up, "My sabre is ill-suited for fighting a statue, but I volunteer nonetheless. How shall we decide who fights?"
"Well isn't this something!" remarked Jim as he looked around marveling that such a shrine should exist in this accursed place. "Perhaps if we ever need to rest down here, this holy ground will prove to be a safe harbour."
Jim explores the room they're in a little, wondering if there's any other exits. He checks up north before hurrying after Ciri.
Hope she feels better soon!
"I uh, thought he was called whatshisname..." remarked Jim deadpan before replying to Korbin, "I picked up a scratch somewhere in that fight, nothing major though."
Jim's sword blurs as he attacks the hyaenodon in front of him.
Jim's sword flicks out with deadly precision towards one of the the smaller hyenas.
Opportune Parry:
Jim clicked his heels together and as the magic took kold he rushed forwards, ending up shoulder to shoulder with Ciri. He said, "M'lady we may need to push them back so that the others may bring their arms to bear."
Opportune Parry:
Seems like there's not much we can do? Brv is roll20 showing the right level?
Grimacing, Jim wraps his scarf around his face, and mutters, "UGH! That is repulsive! I guess we're fighting trolls then, I hope we've got something to keep them down."
"Sounds dangerous." remarked Jim, "What is to be done with it? If we leave it here, I assume it'll uh take over some unfortunate..."
Jim nodded, "We'd probably better assume there is something really dangerous down there. Whatever it is, we need to cleanse this place root and branch. Still perhaps some sort of blessing might help before we go down?"
"They have a thing about kidnap... Name's Jim by the way." remarked Jim, "Did you catch any idea about what's going on in here?"
"Sounds ominous..." remarked Jim, "But do we have any reason to believe it?"
Is the combat over? Seems like it is...
Sorry for the delay, been really distracted with various work and social things this week.
Jim just barely managed to escape the worst of the fireball, even so the burst hurt abominably.
Enraged, he lashed out with his sword!
Opportune Parry:
Before his mind could fully comprehend what just happened, Jim evaded the web in a way that neo would have been proud of.
Grimly determined, he pressed home his attack on the unholy snake thing in front of him.
Opportune Parry:
Jim winces as he is engulfed by a fireball and hoping to put a stop to such things, rushes inside passing half the party. He notes the illusory wall but concentrates on the snake thing in front of him, lashing out viciously with his sword. He then prepared to party any counter attacks.
Parry and riposte:
Jim follows closely behind Ratel.
It looks like combat is about to begin. Jim is ready to fight and purge whatever evil lurks in this place.
"What is it with Set and Snakes?..." muttered Jim in agreement, "Anyway yes, onwards."
"Do we have any reason to believe what it said?" asked Jim. Granted magical talking mouths didn't seem anymore credible than the sorcerer who placed them and they had no idea who that was. "If not let's just open this door and cleanse whatever evil lurks beyond."
"Not sure what to make of all this magic, please be careful in case there's a trap or something..." remarked Jim.
"Yeah the room filled up with noxious gas, we were lucky, that situation could have been really nasty." added Jim.
Jim nods and says, "I'll take the feet, you take the shoulders."
Jim tries to wake up those who are still sleeping.
While the others look the statue, Jim takes care of his blade, getting a sharpening stone out of his kit and remarking, "Looks like I raised quite the bur, lucky I didn't chip or shatter the blade."
I do like that cover Ciri!
Jim's sword blurred as he struck again, propelled by magic.
Jim tried his best not to breathe in any of the gas!
Jim gritted his teeth and tried not to flinch when the missiles slammed into his flesh. By instinct Jim felt an opening and lashed out, he winced as his sword struck sending sparks flying and as the jolt of impact shot up his arm!
Jim expected another barrage of missiles but he was ready to parry in case it made any physical attack. Opportune Parry:
Making way for Ratel, Jim vaulted forwards towards the statue hoping to avoid any attack. Once in position he remarked to nobody in particular, "Wacking this thing is going to wreck my sword..."
Opportune Parry:
"Hopefully we can destroy that abomination..." muttered Jim, nonplussed at seeing evidence of Set worship.
