Darhana waited to see what the beetle would do. She was content to wait quite a long time if someone else didn't want to attack. She held her bow ready just in case, but wasn't going to do anything if the critter didn't do anything.

 

OOC

ready action: shoot if the beetle attacks.

At the screeching of the door, Lars thinks, I need to bring extra oil for the hinges next time. Seeing Darhana with a ready bow, got him moving to support her, drawing his short sword and freezing when he sees the critter. He looks closely to see if there are others.   OOC Specifics . .

Kaichar

"Oh hey, a beetle." The red-skinned tiefling seems unbothered by it's presence or size. "Most animals don't like me..." He says, moving at a relaxed pace into the room. "Maybe if you go behind me, keep between me and the critter it will leave us alone." He surmises, sounding thoughtful.

Perhaps the bellicose clicking sounds should've been Kaichar's first indication that encroaching upon this beetle's business was a as idea, but the tiefling seemed to have plainly ignored that sign and continued on into the room anyway.

 

At first, the insect's front legs skittered back a tad, the antennae reeling a bit as they continue to slowly swish around in the air.

 

Then all of a sudden, the insect's abdomen curves forward from underneath the rest of its body, pointing its tail section forward as a nasty smelling caustic spray gushes forward at Kaichar's general direction.

"Hey!" Kaichar exclaims, looking surprised at the outcome. "Didn't think you'd spit acid at me." He adds sadly.

Bianca Pohlo

Bianca halts suddenly at the sound of conflict up ahead, the crossbow that Dihada had given her almost slipping from slack fingers.

"What-- what's going on?" she calls, unable to see what has happened to those up ahead. More skeletons? Nervously, she hurries after them, holding the crossbow out fearfully.

Actions

Judging by the map, Bianca is still far behind, so move up so she can see what's happening (or at least get closer).

PCs: Average (A 23, D 22, L 21, Ne 19, B 14, K 8, No 7) = 16.28
Beetle: 9

 

Though Kaichar's quick reflexes saved him from a direct full frontal blast from the creature's acid, the spray of it still caused droplets of the stuff to land on his skin and hair, each one singing him like a little bead of acrid fire. (( Kaichar's damage from the beetle's acid attack is 3 ))

 

Hearing the ruckus from down the hall, Azura rushed down into the room, "Kaichar!"

 

With more or less a front row seat to Kaichar's latest episode of misery, Darhana reacts immediately with a readied shot from her bow, although the arrow ends up veering toward the bottom left, misses the insect's body, and clatters off the stone floor towards the flight of stairs beyond.

 

As Kaichar growls and jumps from the pain, some of the others are alerted to danger from this direction.

 

"⩴₶⧉⏅⏅!" Prescient from some reverie, Noriko chants some mysterious syllables, which curiously fills the hearts of her party with courage.

Darhana moves into the room, but so that the beetle can't attack Kaichar and herself at the same time. She then fires another arrow at the insect.

Bianca Pohlo

Rushing after the others, Bianca sees Kaichar embroiled with some kind of giant beetle.

"Um..."

Not sure what to do, she hesitates... then finally takes aim with the crossbow, struggling not to point it at any of her allies, and shoots.

Actions

Move to somewhere I can shoot from - which means that space above Neskas and next to Dihada probably. That also means that the beetle gets soft cover (+4 AC) as well as me taking a -4 penalty for firing into melee..

Standard: Attack with the crossbow. I'm not actually sure how much ammo I have, but I hope there's a bolt nocked already at least! +1 from Bless.
