"Whatev'r yer plan, Ah'll be keepin'er in th' tunnel. If'n 'er legs get free uh th' sand, she might 'ave an advantage on us. You burn 'er but Ah'll be at the front. Do what ye must but try not t' burn my beard, eh?" the Dwarf said, somehow able to muster a chuckle. Doørfin then shuffled up to the entrance and prepared to step in front of it to block Malice from exiting into the cavern proper. If he got oiled and burned in the process, so be it. He just had to put faith in his companions. What was a little fire for a blacksmith, anyhow?

cailano Posted May 2 Author Clone Share Posted May 2 Novia With some effort, you're able to slide the false coffin lid out of position and flip it over. The lid is actually very light. If you'd tried to stand on it, you might have fallen through. Which would have been bad because it isn't a grave underneath the lid; it's a deep, ragged stone shaft. You can't see the bottom but it doesn't seem like a pit trap. It looks like something a person could climb down. There are even a few places where it looks like someone purposely cut a few hand or footholds.

cailano Posted May 2 Author Clone Share Posted May 2 Doorfin, Flickwit, and Shaun You set up for your ambush at the mouth of the tunnel as quietly as possible. Malice is still making her way through the tunnel and you can hear her muttering and cursing as she does. It also sounds like there are two others with her. You hear snarling and deep breathing.

Rakle Posted May 3 Clone Share Posted May 3 Novia need to tell the others but she didn't want to warn Malice about the ambush. Not wanting to get spotted, she heads due west. Once she gets to the cave wall, she will start heading north to join the ambush.

cailano Posted May 3 Author Clone Share Posted May 3 Novia joins the rest of you at the ambush site, but then you hear Malice speak to her companions in a harsh whisper. "Quiet! Do you smell that? Lantern oil and torches. They're in there, or they were. Careful, there's a thief with them who likes to attack from behind." In a few moments, the sound of legs slogging through the loose dirt begins again. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted May 7 Author Clone Share Posted May 7 Malice Approaches Malice curses and snarls as she approaches the end of the tunnel. First, you hear her talking to whoever is with her. "The filthy little mongrels are probably waiting to ambush us at the tunnel. Get ready!" Next, she calls out to all of you. "Oh yoo-hoo! Hello up there! We're coming for you, you lazy kitchen rats! Time to get back to work! We've got some nice innocent guests coming, and I just know you'll make the best stew out of them. Have you started to remember what you've done yet? Oh, you will! If you live long enough!" Doorfin Malice is close. Now is the time to try to catch her a few feet inside the mouth of the tunnel. Or, you can let her come to you. Letting her get to the mouth of the tunnel will allow your companions to join the fight better, but if you step inside, Malice will be less able to avoid you. What do you do?

A large part of him wanted to force the fight inside the tunnel, but in order for the fire plan to work, Doørfin needed to let Malice get as close as possible. The moment the demon woman got the edge of the tunnel, the smith-warrior turned the corner and stepped in front of her. "Stop right there, ye blasted beastie! NOW!!!" he cried out, hoping to use the surprise to bring his axe and shield to bear on her. He'd pause for a single moment while the plan was enacted but then fully guard the entrance.

cailano Posted May 9 Author Clone Share Posted May 9 As Doorfin steps forward to attack, Malice snarls and moves to engage him. She is carrying a bloodstained lumber axe as a weapon. Behind her are two seven-foot-tall humanoid creatures with stunted legs and grotesquely long arms. They have rubbery green skin and eyes that are tiny points in a broad-featured head. Malice takes a single step before she's hit by Novia's spell. The cleric's eyes become a kaleidoscope of dark and light patterns, and Malice's transform to match. The demon innkeeper comes to a halt as if stunned, her mouth hanging slack and her axe held in a loose grip. The monsters behind her, however, continue to charge. They open their mouths impossibly wide, their lower jaws extending to their midsection, exposing rows of jagged teeth. ** OOC - PCs don't get a surprise round but automatically win initiative. Go!

Cairo Posted Monday at 06:32 AM Clone Share Posted Monday at 06:32 AM Shaun Shaun hears and sees their plan change, but not so much as to catch him off-guard. The man brings his oil-soaked torch up to the candle's flame, making sure not to snuff it with dripping oil. As soon as it catches fire he pushes himself out of the shallow grave and hurls the torch at the monstrosities. "Torch away!"
