Luz finds the perfect angle on the blue centaur and bonks it to within an inch of its life. He moves to help Hancock.
Radim easily brushes off the flappy creature's attempt at giving him a migraine and finishes off Blue.
Sweating mushroom juice, Farnguy tries to get the Finadar forest to help contain the fire, to no avail.

Green

Hancock runs into the concealing smoke and slams Tombu with his maul. Tombu grunts with pain. He drops the sword he drew and proceeds to bite and kick at Hancock.
The green creature flaps up to Radim and breathes out a cone of fire, engulfing both Radim and Rukbat.

Tombu (-21)
|
Finding the Centaur has turned to face him, Hancock is happy to find he no longer needs to chase it. A daunting tasks since it has four legs and Hancock two stubby ones.
This time he is able to focus on swinging.

For a usually agile creature, Tombu fails to get out of the way of the lightning and gets zapped. Hancock swings at Tombu thrice but doesn't connect. Luz tries to find an angle on Tombu but can't quite find one. He glares at Tombu but the centaur shrugs him off. Radim marks Tombu as prey and hurls his hammer at the centaur but couldn't quite find his target in the smoke.
Tombu again attempts to bite and stomp Hancock into the ground.
The smoke Tombu was hiding inside dissipates.

Tombu (-31)
|

Hancock actually smiles when the blow lands, and he congratulates the centaur in a mumble. Again he swings furiously, trying to land a finishing blow.
|
|
The creature calling itself Tombu is, in fact, a Vermlek, which is a fiend from the Abyss. Tombu has likely been dead for days
Hancock gives back more and slams his hammer at Tombu, hitting with his first blow. Rukbat sends another bolt of lightning at Tombu. This time Tombu doesn't get away in time. Luz attempts to gain an angle on Tombu, but doesn't quite have one. He throws his hammer at Tombu anyway trying to distract him, but misses both attempts.
Tombu appears near death but still holds on.

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Radim's hammer is flying over the burnt earth! BOOM - and it crashes into the creature's ugly head! Before it drops dead, the hammer flies back into Radim's hand and - BOOM - with a second blow, makes a complete mess of the creature.
Radim catches his hammer and stands with it in a spectacular (superhero) pose.
|
|
Thor's hammer destroys Tombu's head on the first blow and the centaur collapses. A ... thing resembling an oversized pinkish worm with four long tails crawls out of the centaur's mouth and shrivels. Obviously, Tombu appears to have been long dead before "he" attacked you.
The forest reverts to its true self. Mist pours in and a gentle rain falls, leaving a smoldering yet natural stretch of Finadar Forest with no enemies in sight. You find Urwal nearby, caught in a thicket (still walking but going nowhere). You also find a smoldering demon mask on the forest floor near the tear in realities you passed through.
|
|
"Huh. I'm not wearin' that." Swayaah leers at the mask. "Why would anyone want to look like me..."
Fae shows up with a toolkit full of bandages and healing tools, and Swayaah glances over her shoulder. "Sure thing, kid. Go help 'em out."
She looks at the dead centaur. "Neither of these are the centaur who was waving at us a few days ago. I suspect they were trying to get our attention to get some help." She reloads her crossbow. "Stay alert, everyone..."
|
|
The pink worm-like thing is a Vermlek. They're demons from the abyss. "Tombu" appears to have been dead for awhile before attacking you. AC 23 in the centaur's body, 65 hp.
|
|
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that." Swayaah wraps her ego in sarcasm as Rukbat comforts her vulnerability. "You remind me of my dad."
She stands up and kicks the worm. "Vermlek. Demons from the Abyss. They uh... like to puppeteer dead bodies from within. Whoever this was, they've been dead for a while."
She clutches her holy symbol of Shelyn. "Let's give these centaurs a quick burial before we let Urwal go."
|
|
Hancock shrugs. Demons, daemons, devils, constructs, giants, the list goes on, but in Hancock's mind there is just an 'us' and 'them'. Well, maybe not giants. They are special and the most fun to defeat. In any case, he looks a little uncertain as he does not have a shovel and, even if he did, digging a hole in a forest is beastly difficult and NOT fun.
"Pr?"
"Hancock suggest a pyre instead of a grave."
