DM Kent (Splish splash I was.....) d20=2 d20=19 d20=20 d20=10 d20=2 d6+6=8 Thursday April 27th, 2000 7:09:59 AM
whether distracted by Sedar rolling the head around or by the abuse that Glow boy is sustaining The Water creature misses Draax again. In rapid succession As both K'isst and Rond nail Glow boy you twice see the slight dimming of the glow and the shedding of two sheets of water. You now hear a definite guttural growl from GlowBoy and he reaches out and touches K'isst with a withered tight-skinned skeletal hand (K'isst save vs spell or be paralyzed for 4 rounds). S2 misses Rond but S6 nails Arissa for 7 points. Arien moving around to get an attack in manages to block himself out this round. Ahkum is soon accompanied by Bill and both are now feeling a bit sheepish for running away in fear. Sedar manages to back the head off but is not able to get a ramming in this round.
Ahkum d4+1=2 Thursday April 27th, 2000 7:23:59 AM
The mage turns around and growls irritably as he realizes he's been driven away twice and for what reason he has no idea. He levels his hand at the glowing creature still in the doorway, "Izsel." A streak of light shoots forth from his spread palm and slams into the creatures back.
Rond d20+4=18 d10+7=12 Thursday April 27th, 2000 7:31:59 AM
Rond slashes at glowboy, hoping to end this little encounter. Rond hits AC0 for 12 more points of damage.
Ahkum Thursday April 27th, 2000 3:00:59 PM
[[sorry S7 for 2 points of damage from a magic missile]]
Bill Troublefinder Thursday April 27th, 2000 8:08:59 PM
Bill, his terror subsiding, slows, stops, blushes deeply. He pivots, and runs back the way he came, his hobbit heart wanting to introduce himself to the newcomer, but realizing now is not the time. When he gets back, he retrieves his sword from the ground. [Assuming that his full actions are taken up in movement this round. Is the Glow Boy still under the net?]
Arrisa d20=16 d6=6 Friday April 28th, 2000 12:05:59 AM
(OOC: Sorry about the lack of post, my PC hard drive refused to function. Seems ok now though) Arrisa lets out a low growl as the sea devil hits her with his trident. She spins around and strikes at S6 with her staff (hit AC -1 for 6+4=10 damage)
Arien d20=20 d20=18 d20=2 d6=5 d6=6 Friday April 28th, 2000 3:10:59 AM
Moving forward to be beside Draax and trusting his companion to keep the water beast occupied Arien drops the dagger into its sheath and grabs his bow. Determined to take out a Sea Devil he draws bead on S2 (line of sight, shot down between Arissa and Sedar) The first arrow flies true, shrieking as it splits the air in its quest to imbed itself in Sahuagin flesh. However in his haste he improperly sets the next arrow and when he releases the string it falls to the ground at his feet.
Sedar the Rock-n-Roller d20=3 Friday April 28th, 2000 5:17:59 AM
Finally able to turn the head around. He again starts pushing it towards the water beast, but trips horribly on the wet floor. The head skittering off somewhere (?). "oooooouuuuuucccccchhhhhhh !!!!"
Draax d20=3 d20=14 d12+4=14 Saturday April 29th, 2000 7:22:59 PM
Draax side steps the creature's attack and swings his sword again. Avoiding get hit by the creature makes him miss his first attempt, but catches the creature with his return swing. (AC -2, 14 damage)
K'isst d20=18 d20=1 Monday May 1st, 2000 7:41:59 AM
[Sedar, if that was a dex check you made it. You roll under for dex checks. Of course if it was a save, then you failed. [sad grin]] Hoody Hoo! K'isst freezes from the touch her heart seeming stop. Then low in her throat her chanting begins and she with a series of jerks overcomes the paralization saving with a 18. She Spins to strike another mighty blow, but drops her sword in the process. She curses and prepares for the worst as she notices that her hands feel numb from the paralysis attempt.
DM Kent (old man river) d20=9 d20=18 d20=6 d20=14 d8=8 Monday May 1st, 2000 4:13:59 PM
For the first time during this combat, Glow Boy shows real frustration, as K'isst overcomes his spell attempt, and he lets out a sound not unlike that of a whale song. The sound seems to actually reverberate through the temple and almost sets the walls to humming. He is so frustrated that even with K'isst's weapon on the ground, he stands there and makes his weird moaning sound and waves his arms around in a seemingly random pattern. S6 collapses from the blow he just received and is writhing on the floor. S2 very irritated by having an arrow sticking out of him tries to take it out by cutting up something near him and hits Rond for a big 8 points of damage. The Water beast seems distracted both by being hit, the head rolling by him and into the water, and by the frustration of glow boy, and misses Draax with his wide sweeping arms.
DM Kent (old man river) Monday May 1st, 2000 4:18:59 PM
Bill makes it back to where his sword is and peers inside to see that the net is now on the ground at Glowboy's feet. Ahkum sends off his missiles from the relative safety of outside and sees them strike Glowboy, hiss and disappear. Soon after both Bill and Ahkum hear a strange moaning seeming to come from the temple walls themselves.
Rond d20+4=17 d10+7=9 Monday May 1st, 2000 6:06:59 PM
Rond grunts from the blow he receives, but he stays focused on glow boy, and swings again. He connects (AC 1) again for 9 points of damage.
Bill Troublefinder d20=3 d20=18 d6+1=2 Monday May 1st, 2000 8:12:59 PM
Bill picks up his sword. "K'isst, Draax, Rond, whoever, push him out! See what's in or on his hands! Everyone out of the temple! Get the Head! Get Borbo!" Makes a dex check to get around net and near GB without tripping. Swings his sword (called shot) to cut into Glow Boy's waving right wrist. (18+1-4=15, hit AC 2, 2 hp.)
Ahkum d20+2=9 d20-2=5 Monday May 1st, 2000 11:56:59 PM
The mage says a prayer to his immortal patrons and rushes ahead again to aid his comrades. As he runs he points the skillfully crafted staff at the glowing sahuagin and looses a word, "Flutter!" [unleash faerie fire against glowboy(everyone gets a +1 to attack glowboy :)>, attack if i can, the second is a save if it is required.]
Draax d20=13 d12+4=15 Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 12:18:59 AM
Avoiding the water creature's attack again, Draax moves in for another swing at the creature and hits again. (AC-1, 15 dmg)
Bill Troublefinder d20+3=23 Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 2:13:59 AM
[Save vs. fear if needed]
Sedar the Rock Fetcher Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 6:02:59 AM
(OOC K'isst the roll was to hit, as in ramming the water beast. I 'll be sure to elaborate more next time) Hearing the call to run for it. The 1/2 elf runs to retrieve the head and then make a run for the exit.
Arrisa d20=19 d20=3 d6=1 d20=19 Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 6:52:59 AM
Hearing the call for everyone to run outside, Arrisa takes a couple of jabs at the squirming sea devil (Hit AC -4 and missed. 5 Damage on S6) striking once. She then runs ahead towards the door (Save if necessary = 19. Passed unless modifier is -3 without wis bonuses).
K'isst d20=17 d8+8=9 Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 9:17:59 AM
K'isst, realizing that glowboy still stands in the way of the exit, is curious as to what Bill thinks he's discovered. She can't disengage without taking another of those deadly attacks. Having two attacks this round, she pivots to grab her sword missing her first attack. She wants to obey bill, but can't do a called shot this round neither can she safely break. Too risky. She also can't overbear the guy out of the way and still pick up her sword because she only gets two attacks this round when using her sword. In frustration, she does the only thing she can....swing! She hits AC -2 screaming in triumph and chanting full force as the blow drives home doing 9 more points of damage. "Sorry Bill! Can't stop right now! Talk to me. What have you discovered?"
Bill Troublefinder Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 9:30:59 AM
"Yeah, the walls of the temple are moaning somethin' fierce. You can hear it outside. Get the head out. Okay, let's get this guy." Bill jumps back a little toward the door, trying to keep track of the multiple opponents and friends, waiting for a chance to attack again.
Arien Tuesday May 2nd, 2000 10:52:59 PM
Hearing Bill's call Arien runs after Sedar to give him a hand with the head. As he runs he slings his bow over a shoulder and shouts after Sedar "Hey Sedar once we get the head lets do to Glow Boy that you did to the Water Beast, you know ram him. That ought to get him out of the way and get the head out of here at the same time!"
DM Kent (water falls.....) d20=18 d8=8 d20=7 Wednesday May 3rd, 2000 6:10:59 AM
Draax's last attack on the water beast cause the beast to break up and drench Sedar, Arissa, and Draax in a deluge of water. Rond and Bill's attacks cause another sheet of water to shed off of Glowboy. K'isst's attack draws a red gash across Glowboy's chest who is now only glowing because of Ahkum's spell. Sedar and Arissa go for the head which is currently floating twenty feet off the ramp. Arissa's foe having been stabbed beyond death stops squirming and lies there in a messy pile. S2 swings at Rond and connects for another 8 points. And glow boy misses another attempt at touching K'isst with his bony hand.
Bill Troublefinder d20=20 d20=6 Wednesday May 3rd, 2000 6:57:59 AM
Bill this time steps and aims with his +1 sword for the left hand of Glow Boy. [20+1-4=17, hits AC 0, 6 misses, no extra, total 7 hp damage. Hand removed?] Bill checks to see if the receding glowing nearly skeletal sahuagin has been holding anything in this hands, or is wearing rings or bracelets. He knows he saw him concentrating on this hands or something in his hands earlier.
K'isst d20=17 d8+5=13 Wednesday May 3rd, 2000 8:00:59 PM
She sees the blood of her previous attack and rejoices in their success. She howls with joy as the water monster is destroyed by Draax. "Way to go Draax!" K'isst maneuvers without breaking contact from glowboy so that her back is to the door and she is close to escape if the temple begins collapsing. She thanks Holy Donyra for keeping the boy's withering touch at bay and focus for another attack. The moment comes. Luck is still with her. Her shot tears into her opponent's abdomen once again (rolled a 17 hitting AC-2) for 13hpd. Her chanting begins to become a yell.
Ahkum d20+2=5 d20-2=18 Thursday May 4th, 2000 4:16:59 AM
The mage strikes out with his staff again and roars a praise to the god Domi as he misses again. He steps aside quickly hoping that the others will bust through any moment. (attack misses, and if I had to save I actually passed!)
Rond d20+4=22 d10+7=17 Thursday May 4th, 2000 4:20:59 AM
Rond executes a sweep going from left to right (trying to push glowboy out of the way, and into S2 if possible (no map for a bit)) hitting AC -4 (let me know if another roll is needed), doing another 17 points of damage.
Arien Thursday May 4th, 2000 6:27:59 AM
Arien continues to retrieve the head.
DM Kent (Is that the staypuff marshmallow man?) d20=3 d20-3=2 Thursday May 4th, 2000 6:39:59 AM
Arien and Sedar manage to retrieve the head with a little bit of effort. As Rond K'isst and Bill swing at Glowboy, connecting with most of their attacks, Ahkum swings his staff and misses yet again and just as he is starting to feel a tinge of fear, the sensation is abruptly cut off as a hand falls to the floor and Glowboy falls into S2. S2, getting ready to attack Rond is taken unawares and is able to turn his fall into a leaping dive for the water and manages to escape. As the severed hand strikes the floor Bill hears and sees a 3/4 inch wide metal band fall out of the hand and roll toward the water. Bill roll under dex to catch it before it drops. (combat is now over)
Draax Thursday May 4th, 2000 7:05:59 AM
Hearing K'isst's words of praise, Draax smiles. "Thanks K'isst, for a minute there I thought the beast would never fall. I glad the others kept getting in its way before it could really do some damage to me. I wonder, where did it came from? Good job with glow boy." In a voice loud enough for all the member to hear Draax shouts. " Lets get out of hear before this place fall apart or we get more visitors, I am not sure, but I think one of them escaped." Draax puts away his sword and goes to help get the head out of the temple while it is still standing.
Rond Thursday May 4th, 2000 8:05:59 AM
Putting away his sword, you notice that there is just as much blood from Rond, as on Rond. "Let me retrieve Borbo, and get him outside, then someone can grab him if possible, and I'll help with the head, for as long as this potion lasts"
Bill Troublefinder d20=7 Thursday May 4th, 2000 10:44:59 AM
Bill leaps to catch the ring before it rolls into the water. He grabs hold of it, and slides on his stomach on the blood- and water-smeared floor. "Oof!" He lies there for a moment, gasping for air, the wind knocked out of him, the motions of his mouth making him look somewhat fish-like. His chin rests on the edge of the walkway next to the water. The wet halfling finally pushes himself away from the edge. He turns onto his back, and looks up at Ahkum. "Hi!" his voice squeaks out. "I'm Bill."
Bill Troublefinder Thursday May 4th, 2000 11:24:59 AM
Bill then notices how badly Rond looks. "Hey, Ronderiadshal, friend, you need this more than I!" He extracts a potion of healing from a pouch and, still lying upon his back, holds it up for Rond to take.
Bill Troublefinder Thursday May 4th, 2000 11:33:59 AM
The hobbit finally forces himself to rise, and shakes his head, feeling dizzy. Still addressing Rond, he asks, "You remember when we met with Judith? I mean, not that that's her name, except I thought it would be a good name for her. You know, at the House of the Crystal Sphere? And she said, she said, "That which you disbelieve is real and that which you believe well... may be false." He looks down at the ring recently worn by their glowing opponent. "I think this makes strong illusions. We gotta be careful with it." Bill opens his mouth, and swallows the ring.
Arrisa Thursday May 4th, 2000 12:06:59 PM
Now totally wet, Arrisa looks around and then at the wound she has. She wanders over to Ahkum. "Now where did YOU run to? Anyone would think you're afraid of a battle....."
Ahkum d8=3 Thursday May 4th, 2000 9:43:59 PM
The mage starts slightly and raises an eyebrow at the return of Arissa, "Why it was that foul creature and his strange powers of fear that took away my steel nerves." He kicks the creature and sighs looking at Bill for a moment, "Ah yes my name is Ahkum nice to meet you," watches him swallow the ring and smiles, "Bill." He sees this Rond and the others trying to retrieve something out of the room and wanders to help. He mutters a prayer to himself and reaches out to pat the man on the shoulder, "You must be the people we were looking for. Domi saw that you fought well this day I see." At that he helps them remove whatever they are looking for from the temple post haste. [casts cure light wounds on Rond for three points]
Arrisa Thursday May 4th, 2000 9:58:59 PM
Arrisa sighs and places a very wet hand on 's shoulder. "You should try living in un-civilised areas. That builds up you're nerves even more.". She smiles slightly seeing the nice wet hand-print on Ahkum's clothing and then turns to the rest. "Now that's over with, I am called Arrisa. I assume you are the group that we heard about....."
Sedar the exiteer Friday May 5th, 2000 7:49:59 AM
Getting momentum built up behind the head. the 1/2 elf pushes for all he is worth, to get the head through the exit. "can't get out of here fast enough, lets go"
K'isst Friday May 5th, 2000 8:03:59 AM
K'isst leans on her sword as she catches her breath after the battle. Then she sees Bill reach for the ring. Good Bill. Getting the ring. Always can depend on good 'ol Bill. Ahh, he's going to put it on! No. Bill! Stop. K'isst tries to speak. She tries to warn him. But ahh! He's stopped. Now he's......he's.......he's.
K'isst Friday May 5th, 2000 8:06:59 AM
K'isst's mouth drops open as she literally falls on her seat in surprise. She screams. "NaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!" Her head lolls back and hits the rock of the temple wall. "Uhh."
K'isst Friday May 5th, 2000 8:07:00 AM
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Arien Friday May 5th, 2000 11:46:59 AM
Arien checks to see if any of his arrows are salvageable, gives his greetings to Arrisa and Ahkum and follows Sedar out of the temple.
DM Kent (Is that the staypuff marshmallow man?) 8d2(2+2+2+1+2+1+2+1)=13 Friday May 5th, 2000 10:31:59 PM
Arien is able to retrieve 5 usable arrows as he and the others except Bill and K'isst exit the building. At the moment of glowboy's demise the weird moaning stopped and there was a large CRACK heard. And as you all are exiting there are large chunks of walls and ceiling starting to fall. Bill swallows the gore covered ring and then as it starts going down his throat he feels it starting to grow (save VS poison +2) and (System Shock % roll please). K'isst is unconscious and leaning against one of the broken doors that is about to fall on her.
Bill Troublefinder d20=13 d100=37 d20=15 Saturday May 6th, 2000 1:44:59 AM
Bill feels the swelling inside him. "Oops!" He says. His right hand balled into a fist, he taps himself near the solar plexus with the side of the thumb and forefinger. An eructation is accompanied by a bubble escaping from his lips. [made save, system shock.] "It's growing!" Bill sees K'isst lying down, unconscious. "Help, K'isst is here!" Bill grabs his sword, tosses it outside (not at anybody - rolled a 15 to make sure he missed) goes over and tries to drag her out of the collapsing building. He keeps on burping.
Draax Saturday May 6th, 2000 3:05:59 AM
Hearing bill's call, Draax rushes back into the room and tries to pull K'isst out of harms way before carrying her out to the others.
Rond Saturday May 6th, 2000 6:24:59 AM
Placing Borbo's body down outside, then hearing the call from inside, Rond approaches the doorway on his way in, in order to see if any more help is needed. If they are struggling, Rond will jump in and help.
Sedar Sunday May 7th, 2000 1:57:59 AM
Keeps shoving the head towards the safety (seemingly) of the outside.
Ahkum Sunday May 7th, 2000 6:28:59 AM
The mage rushes up and helps drag K'isst out of harm's way and away from the crumblin temple.
