Chapter 3: What Lies Beneath

[Eagleheart]

You hear a scream as the frog-man is badly burned by Arionne's fire. He closes in to retaliate, but the snow slows him down enough to keep him at arm's length. The bird keeps pecking at Calmont, but the little man easily dodges its attacks.

All the while, more footsteps approach... more enemy reinforcements. Hopefully this is the last of them.

Round 2 cont'd.

Even after he kills the bird Syhlas eyes and mind are affected by the dazzling feather display. He is trying to adjust when the strange apemen and then a frogman pour out of one of the corridors.

"What is this! Some kind of menagerie? And what's that language?" He shouts out to no one in particular as he focuses on the mandrill-creature that attacked Arionne.

"Hey furball! Watch this!" Obviously, Syhlas has no clue if the opponents understand Common but he just wants to attract their attention so he can make his moves. He feints a low slash with his off-hand shortsword but then tries to exploit a gap in his opponent's defense with his rapier. It doesn't seem to work but the thrust with the rapier opens up an even wider gap for Syhlas' off-hand side. He slashes his sword with force into the mandrill's chest.

OOC

Action 1: Feint Mandrill 2 (If that's a Critical Success he is flat-footed to everyone of us until the end of next turn. He also has -2 to Perception and Reflex saves)

Action 2: Strike with rapier vs. Mandrill 2

Action 3: Strike with shortsword vs. Mandrill 2 (That's a Critical Success!)

Reaction: Nimble Dodge; first attack aimed at Syhlas and he can see the attacker. +2 to AC.

Syhlas misses with his rapier but catches the mandrill-man off guard with his shortsword, handily killing it.

Matilde is still blinking furiosly, trying to clear her sight, as the foe immediately before her felled, and deciding not to break her position in the formation, proceeds to fling more conjured blades at the frog being that had entered the fray. Unfortunately, this time, she is unable to find her target.

"I think this bird just wants to get out of here," notes Calmont. He moves aside to let it leave, then takes a wayward shot as more mandrill-men arrive. "What are these guys, anyway? I've never seen anything like 'em before."

One of the mandrill-men throws a big rock that slams right into Corwyn's head, hurting him badly. Another slashes at Arionne, but his weapon is deflected by her earthen armor.

Ketu the Ghost

Ghost refocuses his attention on the bird threatening Calmont. Why is it so interested in him?

He digs deep into his reserve of will and focuses his mental strength, finding the largest loose rock he can handle and launching it at the bird as hard as possible, trying to drive it away if he can't kill it.

Mechanics

Actions

1, 2 amped telekinetic projectile

telekinetic projectile

On a hit, it will push the bird 5 ft. northeast, 10ft. on a crit.

If I miss, my 3rd action will be a Stride to the square north of the bird to flank it with Calmont.

If I hit it but don't kill it, I'll Step northeast to put myself between the bird and Calmont.

If I kill it, I'll Stride to behind Mathilde.

Corwyn is rethinking his choice to become an adventurer after the large rock smacks him in the head. Maybe he should have stayed home and lived a boring life. But he's not about to give up. Breachill needs us to figure this out.

The mist around Corwyn soothes some of his wounds, keeping him alert after the boulder to the head. He then summons another downfall of snow on top of the four easternmost attackers.

Arionne was hard pressed, hemmed in by the foul creatures on more sides than she could count. Their sickles flashed down, and it was all she could do to fend them off. The sleeves of her robes were drawn back, the ruddy scales flashing in the searing columns of flame she summoned from nothing. Yet so too was she cut in a half a dozen places, blood streaming down her wrists and arms where a blocked sickle had found flesh and not dragon scale.

She tried to clear space for her companions to move up, bringing a barbed chain in a whirling dance down upon the skull of the Mandrill-creature tried to move to flank her. As the conjured weapon struck it ignited, stone becoming super heated from the inside, twirling columns of fire and molten rock whipping down the hallway to capture all four of the Mandril-men. Blinded as she was by the dazzling display, she couldn't see the Frog, and so it alone escaped her fiery wrath.

Syhlas kills the first mandrill-man and wants to move further in to try to surround their swarming opponents. However, he is still affected by the colorful feathers and hesitates for a few moments. Then another strange creature appears next to him, Corwyn and Arionne. Some kind of frog-creature walking on two legs and wielding a club.

"Hey Green One! I'm here!" he tries to get the newcomer's attention waving his rapier in the air in front of the frogman, followed by some sweeping feint moves before the real attacks are delivered.

Ketu the Ghost

Ghost growls in pain as the bird slashes him and escapes. It's a bad cut, but not life-threatening.

He takes a moment to survey the chaotic melee in the corridor. We need to finish this quickly and regroup.

Ghost trains his mind on the situation, calculating the forces, angles, and distances in play. His vertical pupils narrow almost to nothing. Through the force of his concentration, space itself becomes visible in an aura around him, with faint blue-white lines and mathematical symbols marking the vectors of dust particles, air currents, and gravitational fields.

His hands vibrating, he makes a gesture, and the space around two of the enemies writhes and tears, tearing the monsters' bodies from the inside out.

He steps slowly, coldly forward into the fray, the strange aura following with him.
