Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
What kind of a smell is Porphyry picking up on? Is it, by any chance mollusky?
Evil mollusky?

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
Fingal gasps as his friend finishes off the creature that was about to take his life. He is not sure what is happening but can hear the screams of pain coming from his comrades.
If possible, he will sneak around in the darkness towards the sounds of the battle in hopes of getting behind the beast that is hurting his group. If he can make it there in the dark, he backstabs the thing.
Backstab with +1 Short Sword [1d20+5] = 17+5 = 22 Damage [1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6 x2
not sure if I can do all that in one round......or at all

Niles moves towards the sounds of battle and attacks if he can get close enough.

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
The moment Gagel sees the lit torch he stands up and fires an arrow at the strange beast, hoping that it's what causing the darkness and that attacking would bring light back.

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
Hearing signs of a struggle, Wulfhart moves to attack the next enemy. "Call out if you are a friend of Wulfhart!"
He swings mightily at the tentacled enemy.

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
The latest assault on Eryndir's befuddled noggin causes another gear shift...
"Gaaahhh," he hisses his voice now all throaty and bestial, "Me chop you up good skull-muncher!"
He swings his sword back over his head, intending to connect with the creature behind him.

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
You Are Always On My Mind - Round One
In the darkness of the ship's hold, Asherrion the elf hears his fellow sylvan Eryndir in pain. Letting the noise guide him, Asherrion lashes out with his sword. The blade strikes true! (Critical for 14, perfect timing.) The elf hears a piercing scream unlike anything he's heard before.
Eryndir feels his skull getting pierced. Something tentacular is on his head. Two more pierce and the elf screams (4 HP damage.) He grits his teeth and tries to swing his sword on the creature wrapped about his skull. But the elf can't gain proper leverage and the blade is ineffective.
Fingal staggers away from the mimic monster, hears the scream, and maneuvers to what he hopes is behind it for a backstab. The thief gashes the creature, but does not think it was his back. (Hits for 6.)
Wulfhart the barbarian joins Fingal in attacking the darkness. His blind foray is as effective as Fingals, as the Fang of Cuthbert bites into the unseen... something!
Niles of the Spiked Body swings his arms in the direction of the noise. Unused to his metal spiked body, his blow is awkward and misses. He scrapes Wulfhart's armor with his spiked arm. Gagel nocks and pulls his bow back, waiting for torchlight to return. It doesn't, so the thief holds his shot lest he accidentally hits a comrade. Porphyry the satyr is nearby, and realizes the vile stench permeating his attuned nose carries a hint of rotten fish and acrid sulfur. He hears sounds of struggle in the darkness.
The creature on Eryndir, having been struck painful blows by Asherrion, Fingal and Wulfhart, disengages from the elf.
On the deck, Easia the cleric snatches Boddin's fallen torch. She is inches away from a 15'-radius blob of blackness which is not pierced by torch light. From within is heard the sound of bone cracking, then slurping sounds. The amazon priestess yells for her servants to help.
Groyn braves the darkness, swinging his battle ax at the creature he saw for a split second before it stepped back into darkness clutching Boddin. Groyn's mighty axe cuts air.
"Vie demon!" yells Vorkath the paladin, brandishing his sword at creature. He wades into the darkness with Excommunicator. Then Vorkath screams in pain; the others realize the creature must have him.

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
Wulfhart aims to finish off the brainsucker. He hacks again, relying on his smell, hearing and divine intervention of Cuthbert to strike his target.
Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
Eryndir feels the back of his scalp tentatively,
"Huh, holes in head... thinky-bit can get some air now..."
He raises his sword and charges in the darkness, lunging in the direction of the creature that just tried to suck his grey matter out.
"In the name of He Who Watches I'll chop yer slimy face-feelers off skullmuncher!"

Hey octopus head! Where do you think yer going? It's time to make us some sushi!
Attack w/ +1 Short Sword [1d20+1] = 17+1 = 18 Damage [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

Porphyry draws his sickles and holds them defensively in front of him. He calls out to the others, "Where are you? What is happening?"

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
Gagel tires from waiting for light to come back, he puts his bow back. He hears the clanking of metal headed from a certain direction accompanied by screams of pain. He takes out his sword and lunges at where he believes the monster is.

Re: Chp. 6 - Deeper and Harder
Groyn sniffs around and listens intently, readies his battle-axe and goes toward the sounds of chaos...he swings his mighty axe toward the pungent odor.
Bene's long hair is standing on end, he senses the evil presence and attacks...

You Are Always On My Mind - Round Two
Down in the ship's hold, the adventurers stumble about in darkness swinging swords at the unseen creature. Fingal, grievously wounded but determined, slashes at the monster. His thief luck holds as he feels his blade connect! Freed from the monster's tentacles, Asherrion the elf spins around, leaps forward and pierces what he hopes is monster flesh. There is a hideous grunt and the elf knows he struck true! The creature thumps to the floor; Asherrion feels it at his feet, unmoving.
Gagel the thief maneuvers about, thrusts with his own sword and hits a crate. Spiked Niles mauls back-and-forth and almost trips on a pile of rigging rope. Porphyry the satyr stays at the edge and interrogates the darkness. Mighty Wulfhart the barbarian loses his orientation in the darkness and his Fang of Cuthbert bites into Asherrion the elf! (3 HP damage.)
On the deck, Groyn and Easia hear Vorkath's cry and grunts of pain, then "Run!," followed by slurping sounds, then silence.
Easia the cleric braves the darkness, rushing in toward the sounds, and striking the monster! It lets out an alien-sounding grunt as her hammer pounds slimy flesh.
Groyn the dwarf won't be one-upped by Easia, so he too wades into the darkness relying on his ears to guide him. He swings his axe and hits! Easia, in the back, killing her. (4 HP.)
Bene the dog growls and barks and follows his dwarf master into battle inside the darkness. The wolf hound, still heavily wounded from Eryndir's sword blow, bites Vorkath's dead body.

Asherrion
This one's dead. I think there's still one above.
Asherrion fumbles in the dark to try to get up to the deck.

Porphyry casts Command Dead, animating up to six corpses within 120' feet and summoning them to his side.
