[Ptolus/AD&D] IC Thread #2 - Underground (part 1)

Yes, especially since Tudd was already to the western side of the beast and Runch specified he would get away from your line of sight (Oh yes, the DM does pay attention to these sorts of things ).

Ulas will shoot it. Rolls 18+3=21.

[skofflox]

Runch, attacking in unison with Tudd...."Charlathans will b'done!"
MISS!
ROLL: 6 ( damage would have been great though!)

Nimten has sleep spell in mind and component handy...looking to the N. door and speaking loudly "WARE, something seeks to sunder the northern door!"

Tarm rolls 1d20=14

J'son rolls 1d20=16

OOC: I can't seem to connect to invisible castle, and I've tried a couple times now. DM, please roll for Tudd this time, I will keep trying to get the dice roller up.

DM: No problem. Will do. Just let me know if anyone else experiences the same issues, and I will roll accordingly.

[Benoist]

Tudd attacks the reptile and misses.
Runch misses as well.

Nimten warns his companions that something is trying to get through the door to the north (door to the storage room which was set on fire earlier).

Belak and Klob both fire at the large dragon-like creature. Belak hits. 3 points of damage. A few scales broke with the bolt's impact, but not much more.
Ulas Xegg fires and hits. Roll for damage.
Ylarum holds his action preparing a charge, as far as I know (let me know if you charge at the end of this round, I'm fine with it).
J'son and Tarm throw their spears. The former hits, the latter misses. Roll damage for Json.

Othos goes to the northern door after Nimten's warning and tries to use some polearms to block the entrance as best he can.

The banging at the door goes on. The heavy scratching at the other, iron, door by the multicolored candles is as loud as ever.

The reptile after falling flat on the dais tries to get back on its feet and snaps awkwardly at Tudd. It hits and bites into the half-orc's flesh. 11 points of damage.
The tail tries to slap Runch. Miss.

Both Tudd and Runch can notice that the creature already sustained quite an amount of damage going through walls and fighting other creatures prior to its arrival on the dais.

The frog-like flowers and the shrieker are trying to get back on their feet this round.

DM: Alright. Just need the damage from Ulas Xegg and J'son at this point, and to know if Ylarum charges this round.
Somebody can roll for next round's initiative as well. You may declare your intents.

[thedungeondelver]

J'son's spear strikes a telling blow : 1d6=6

(DM: Actually I can't charge - the yellow sphere thing is right in front of me!  I reckon I will grab a spare spear and get ready to throw it in the missile fire phase of the next round.  Also, thinking this might be a trick, I choose to Disbelieve for the rest of this round.  Finally, regardless of those things what color is the Dragon?)

[skofflox]

Initiative roll: 6

seeing the beast bite into my brother, "NO!" 'Charlathan guide my sword true!' Runch goes all wild eyed, lunging forward to impale the thing!

Nimten goes to help the dwarf with securing the N. door...

[thedungeondelver]

DM: In the new round, Ylarum yells: "FORWAAAAARD!" and moves (not charges), indicating Tarm and J'son to follow in formation.

[Cole]

Ulas Xegg fires and hits. Roll for damage.

3

[Benoist]

DM: OK Got the damage for J'son and Ulas, and we got a 6 for your initiative. No point for me to roll, you guys go first. So make it count!

DM: In the new round, Ylarum yells: "FORWAAAAARD!" and moves (not charges), indicating Tarm and J'son to follow in formation.

DM: No problem. You'll come in contact and will be able to attack this round.

[skofflox]

can't penetrate defenses!... "yaaarghh!"
roll: 9

Tarm! 1d20=9 - swing and miss.

J'son!1d20=9 - swing and a miss!

Ylarum!1d20+4=17

It seems to Ylarum the reptile creature is very real at this point. This is how it actually looks:



It's already quite bloodied and really, really pissed, obviously.

As for the strange flower-like amphibians, they look vaguely like what should have been their heads exploded to form thick vegetal ribbons or petals of an orchid-like quality with a sort of bag of nectar hanging over their bloated mass, a bit like this (nevermind my bad 'shop job, try to look through it):



Imagine the body changing shape and volume as they breathe and twist around, kind of like bags of air-filled jelly, spewing clouds of spores through from their "mouths". Strange to say the least.

DM: Alright, I got all your actions next turn but for Ulas (I registered the damage). What is he doing this turn, keeping in mind that:

Tudd attacks as well with his morning star. He hits once for 6 points of damage. The powerful reptile has already taken much abuse. It can't last forever!

Ylarum's attack is a hit (roll for damage).

Belak and Klob charge as well (but are not quite in contact yet, unlike Ylarum and his men).

Ludolf joins them with his long blade.

Othos and Nimten gather clutter against the door north of your position.

Ulas firing from his position could hit his teammates (random target in an ongoing melee). What's your action at this point?

[Cole]

Can Ulas shoot at the southeasternmost orchid without hitting any of the PCs?
