Malkavian Grin Posted February 17, 2023 Clone Share Posted February 17, 2023 Tabitha stayed back with the larger group, afraid that she'd be killed instantly. She had brought a dagger, as it was all she had left of her poor husband. The jeweler would have to get a sling soon. Tabitha wasn't brave enough to stab these undead menaces, let alone get close to them. In fact, she decided to wedge herself into the middle of the group as best she could. Eli was steadfast, stubborn, and some said stupid. The corn farmer was of average intellect but far too curious for his health. He'd almost lost an arm in a crazed farming accident several years back; some of the villagers still poked fun at him over the "sheep rampage" but he just laughed along with them. Why get upset? Life was too short. These were the thoughts going through his head as he raised his fork defensively. He made sure to keep that tough-looking dwarf beside him, though...

Lyra frantically fumbles for her quarterstaff, struggling to unhook it from the leather loop on her backpack. She stumbles to the side, grabbing Brar’s arm and pulling him with her.

Malkavian Grin Posted February 18, 2023 Clone Share Posted February 18, 2023 Eli let the corpse wander up toward him so he could keep his footing. That was when he launched into his attack, jabbing upward at the top half. He didn't wanna brain it, but, well, that was the weak spot in living things. Eli figured he didn't want to meet anything without a brain. Tabitha stayed back behind part of the crowd, her dagger held defensively, her face pensive.

Dixi Posted February 22, 2023 Clone Share Posted February 22, 2023 Thugnar could be an apothecarist, but he was a dwarf first and foremost! No dwarf ever would yield to some vegetation - undead or not! "Take this, you piece of a green nothing!" He retaliated with all dwarven might, hitting the vine with his cudgel. Whether it was the bravery of others, the clumsy first attack of the vine, or the simple realization that there is no way back, but Ivor joined the fight despite shaky hands and knees. He attacked silently - all his willpower was spent on keeping his eyes open.

He is, however, quite bad at this and misses completely. Helge Haisley Helge Haisley the healer, cries out, "It's the Smith boys!" She doesn't think that calamine lotion is going to be sufficient this time. The monstrosity stirs something within her. While generally a gentle creature, she understands that sometimes you need to heal by harming. She races forward with her club, trying to clock the monstrosity in the back of the head. Her timing is completely off and she swings well before arriving at her target.

cailano Posted February 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted February 24, 2023 The more daring members of your party rush forward and swarm over the vine horrors, hacking at it with what tools and weapons you have. Severing the vines is the key; before the remaining vegetable/corpse creature can attack again, you've brought it down. Helge correctly identified these bodies as the sons of one of the village smiths. Their names were Keary and Alban. They were among those who had vanished from the villiage. A short sword and dagger are on Keary's corpse, likely forged by his father. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
