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

[winkingbishop]

Othos will continue to swing his flaming morningstar at the new, eager goo monster.

[Drohem]

OOC: Round 3 intentions...

Belak will continue to fight defensively holding the creatures at bay.
Klob will fire his crossbow at the monk on the dais.
Rissthil will have sweet dreams of beautiful elven maidens.

Runch:
Pulling the snivelling orc towards the pillar...."Here we go then,back to the pillar ma boyo. Stay put till we secure tha area. Now theres a good gobo..." as I wrap the lead around the pillar and secure it none to loosely...

Nimten:
Hanging back trying to deduce any info on the enemy magicks at work...am not opposed to hurling a dagger if need be...

(Ben. will take me a few days to catch up on Nimtens past posts. Can I roll an "Arcana" check of some sort to gain insight?)

[Benoist]

(Ben. will take me a few days to catch up on Nimtens past posts. Can I roll an "Arcana" check of some sort to gain insight?)

Nope, you cannot, since this deviltry is unknown to Nimten. It is the first time he's ever been confronted to something like this, just like the rest of the group, nor did he ever study something that might provide some insight as to what, exactly, might be at work within these walls...

[thedungeondelver]

Ylarum, seeing that there's nothing else to set on fire, will gather his troops and move through the southwest door to see what assistance can be lent to the rest of the party in that direction.

"Come Nimten and Ulas!  We're safe from attacks from the east, for the nonce."

(Marching order is Ylarum, followed on rear flanks by Json and Tarm, with Snave between them, Liir and Dallow very close behind. - Nimten and Ulas are of course free to form up however they prefer.)

[skofflox]

Nimten wracks his brain for some sort of reference or pertinent knowledge and draws a blank...falling in behind Ylarum & co. whilst keeping his senses focused on his surroundings.

[Imperator]

Seeing that he is no good (for the moment) with an arrow and that Smeads is doing fine, Gareth will leave his bow and start crawling after Smeads, so he can help him when he arrives to the monk.

[Lilaxe]

With short sword ready, Smeads will slowly stand and with his back to the wall will interject himself between the monk and the door, watching for any response from it. If it reacts, I will try to fight with my back to the door/wall.

If there is no response, Smeads will feel behind him for a latch or handle, testing to see if the door is locked.

[Benoist]

Alright! Somebody roll initiative.
The monsters: 1.

[Cole]

Runch ties the orc to the pillar. The creature does not protest, knowing that at this point, there is nothing for it to do but comply.

Ulas keeps on walking and stops just before he becomes visible to the enemies by Othos, Belak et al. He is just by Rissthil's body at this point.

Ylarum fabricates his own brand. He then proceeds with his men down south, closely followed by Nimten, who keeps thinking intently as he walks. They all could come in contact with the enemies by Othos etc in the next round, if they so choose.

Meanwhile, Gareth crawls his way past the orange candle. No trouble so far.

Smeads is interjecting himself between the monk and the door. The blue candle is burning just above his head. He throws a look back, and notices why the monk was not reacting: it is a statue made of stone, but for its robes, which are slowly falling apart as they still burn. Smeads then has a look at the door and finds a handle there. He tries to open the door. It is not locked, but something seems to resist from the other side, he can see strings, tendrils of goo, or saliva, or something, stretching from the frame of the door to the side of the door itself as he tries to open it further...

Tudd charges the nearest fleshling, which happens to stand by Belak the dwarf. Roll for attack and damage.

Klob fires his crossbow at the monk on the dais. Roll for attack and damage.

Belak fights defensively, still benefiting from his parry bonus.

Othos swings his flaming morningstar at his second fleshling. Roll for attack and damage.

Monster attacks pending results of these actions.

Klob takes aim and fires when he think he has a clear shot on the monk on the dais.  Unfortunately, his footing slides slightly just as he squeezes the trigger and he's unsure about his shot.

============================

OOC: Klob's crossbow attack hits AC 10 for 2 damage.

[Lilaxe]

Smeads is going to gently slide his knife along the crack in the door that shows the goo - to see if it cuts the goo or if the knife sticks to it.

[winkingbishop]

Attacks goo monster with flaming morningstar (1d20=3)

[ooc: piss!]

Still spirited by felling his last foe, Othos rounds about and wildly swings his flaming morningstar over his head a few times: "I've just about had my fill with this goo and the mess and the rest of this unearthly lot!"  With flame licking the air and getting dangerously close to his beard, he strikes out blindly!
