Action Thread 5

[Solinor]

Everything seems well in hand so Wulfgard will look behind making sure no one is trying to sneak up on us.

[tkrexx]

The Ranger hurls himself at the remaining scarecrow.

[1d6] = 4

[1d20] = 5 +1 STR, -2 proficiency penalty=4

Never mind.

[Distorted Humor]

[1d20] = 4

Odo mutters "I score hits with wrenches, not foul breathing growing from fishy podded abominations!"

Day 1 – 12:06p
Round 2


.

Rake parries as he taunts the scarecrow creature. Ilhalevar holds her ground, as does Al’zure and Wulfgard (who are both watching the tunnel behind the party). Malak pulls back as requested.

Varkos steps up to attack, as does Son of Thunder. Odo presses his attack.

The party wins initiative but Varkos is, unfortunately the only one who is able to hit! But the creature reels back a step from the mighty blow, but then attempts to grab Varkos!

Two leafy arms flail out and while the first misses wildly, the second came close enough for Varkos to smell the moss.

. PM sent.
This next round will be a two attack round for Varkos only as Son of Thunder is not using his spear. Varkos will attack first in the round as well as last. Everyone else attacks on initiative.
One person please roll initiative and everyone can perform actions; please do the corresponding rolls to those actions.
Rake, Odo and Malak are all holding lit torches.

[Solinor]

Wulfgard, seeing the rear approach is being watched and that the battle continues will charge into the fray!

If I'm able to charge and attack?

To hit: [1d20] = 13, damage with mace: [1d4+1] = 3+1 = 4
If I get a +2 to hit from charge attack is a 15.

[Vargr1105]

"Die! won't you?" shouts Rake as he slashes at the creature.

To hit with long sword: [1d20] = 15, damage (s/m): [1d8] = 6, damage (L): [1d12] = 1

[tkrexx]

Egad.

[saalaria]

Ron was the pm to me as I haven't received anything?

Varkos takes an easy swing and aces it:

Longsword [1d20+3] = 15+3 = 18 Dam [1d8+5] = 4+5 = 9

Day 1 – 12:07p
Round 3


This was actually a two attack round for Varkos which hurts the creatures great initiative [1d6] = 6.

The party rushes forward with their weapons, but just as the creature is about to attack, Varkos slashes it in two with his sword. It falls into a pile of green and brown like it's comrade next to him.

All of the rest of the pods seem to be open. Slimey fish-smelling plantish gook drips out of both of these newly opened pods.

[Distorted Humor]

Shall we burn these pods with fire? Odo asks the party, the arsonist coming out of him...

[Solinor]

BURN THEM! Wulgard squels.

[Alethan]

Illhalevar

"And needlessly draw attention to ourselves? It appears that the pods are useless, once used for gestation. Plus, we might destroy any information possibly gleamed from this mess. No, I do not think burning this hatchery is the right idea, at least for now..."

[tkrexx]

Embarrassed, the Ranger silently retrieves his spear.

[Vargr1105]

Rake looks at the burning torch on his left hand.

"I agree with Odo and Wulgard, I think we should cleanse these with flame. How do we know if these things won't regenerate?"

[Alethan]

Ilhalevar shrugs, "They just look like egg shells to me; they are inert and used up. Think of the smoke and flames that might result from burning 20 of these pods, though. If we don't kill ourselves by attracting attention, then we'll certainly do it with smoke."

Ilhalevar votes against doing this.

Maybe this calls for a full party vote?

[saalaria]

Varkos considers the various opinions of each companion who has spoken. A watcher could almost see the thoughts flashing across his mind. Eventually he speaks:

"we don't burn them - let's stay sneaky as long as possible"

He begins to search the floor of the cavern, moving any detritus gently with the tip of his sword to see if anything lies beneath.

[Distorted Humor]

Odo likes fire, but understands the concerns of the party members, and sword in hand, checks the room for secret ways, traps, and that ilk.

[tkrexx]

The Ranger wipes the goo from his spear. No fire, not yet. We will kill more of them than they will of us, unless they smell our work. This unholy place will be sealed with fire after we find the villagers.

[Nuke66]

Al'Zur crosses the stream with a nimble jump and begins to examine a portion of the south wall.
