Ylarum slashes with his longsword!

EDIT: I rolled for Two-handed sword v. large; I meant to roll for longsword versus large.  The correct roll is:

1d12+4=9

[Benoist]

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

Yes. It's not engaged in melee: you could move in position and time your shot to avoid the others rushing towards the reptile. Go for it.

[Cole]

Yes. It's not engaged in melee: you could move in position and time your shot to avoid the others rushing towards the reptile. Go for it.

Unfortunately, only a 4+3=7.

[Benoist]

The reptile creature has taken much abuse. Patches of scales missing from crashing through walls. Slashing marks from the weird amphibians' tongues that were lashing at it. Arrows. Blows from Tudd and now, Ylarum, who just pierced the creatures natural armor as it was jerking around, trying to regain a sure footing, its feet searching for the ground at the edge of the dais.

You can see death in its eye.

It turns around and attacks fiercely its assailants.

Claw (J'son): Critical Hit. 8 points of damage.
Claw (Tarm): Critical Hit. 8 points of damage.
Bite (Ylarum): Miss.

Both J'son and Tarm are hit by powerful blows from the creature's limbs, their dislocated bodies sent flying against the walls of the spherical room. There is no doubt in Ylarum's mind: they both have been killed outright.

Amphibian #1 (just missed by Ulas's arrow) spews a cloud of yellowish spores in the dwarves and Ludolf's way. Both dwarves stop dead in their tracks and start vomitting all over the floor, while Ludolf manages to ignore the nausea and will reach the reptile next round.

Amphibian #2 attacks Runch: Miss.

The Shrieker starts to howl once again.

The door Nimten and Othos are trying to keep closed is dangerously shaking on its hinges as it receives numerous hits, one after the other.

DM: New Round! Declare your intents, and roll for initiative!

Ylarum roars: REVENGE! and will make another attack with his longsword.

[Cole]

Could Ulas dash around into the north part of the main central room without having to cross the spore cloud?

Could Ulas dash around into the north part of the main central room without having to cross the spore cloud?

Being aware of it now, a round being one minute (roughly, it's abstract), and looking at the shape of the cloud which is very light on the north side of the yellow lantern, I'd say it is possible for Ulas to hold his breath and jump/dash through it.

Go for it. No roll required.

[Cole]

Ulas dashes northwest along the trough, stopping before(just east of) the edge of the N corridor/trap. If he has time when he gets there, he'll fire at the SE orchid.

[skofflox]

closing in on the wounded creature, looking for an opening to thrust my longsword...

[Benoist]

DM: LOL Monsters roll a 1 for initiative. You guys go first.

Ylarum makes another attack with his sword : roll attack and damage.
Ulas dashes through the cloud of spores, holding his breath.
He stops just before/east of the trap north of the dais, and shoots at the SE orchid creature : roll attack and damage.

Runch closes in on the reptile : roll attack and damage.

Nimten and Othos try to keep whatever is on the other side of the northern armory door to make it through : roll 1d100 for Nimten.
Tudd, still standing, attacks as well : Skofflox, attack for Tudd with 1d20+3, damage 1d6+5 with the morningstar.

Belak and Klob reiterate their saving throws : Klob keeps on vomitting, dazed and confused. Belak however comes to his senses and runs to his friends' help. He attacks : somebody roll 1d20+6 twice for Belak !

Ludolf is in contact as well : one of you roll for 1d20 for Ludolf as well.

[thedungeondelver]

1d20+2=22

NATURAL 20, BABY

1d12+4=16

UNF!

(honestly, if I was the DM I wouldn't believe these rolls...!)

Redeem yourself and roll 1d20+6 twice for Belak, Cole.

Bill: Roll 1d20 for Ludolf too!

Rich (Skofflox) will roll for Tudd as well.
