Completed Play-by-Post: In Search of the Sorcerer

[nikolokolus]

OK, how does Ker fill the beaker? The barrels are on end and the plug is in the top.

 

[Helly]

Ker pushes the barrel on the side so that the plug is usable

 

[Grimgravy]

Initiative [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4

Rhenmyr hacks at the vine squeezing Marcán. "Master Ghul needs a new gardener!"

To hit: [1d20+2] = 17+2 = 19, Damage Spear/Axe: [1d6+2] = 5+2 = 7

 

[nikolokolus]

As the vine continues to coil and constrict around Marcán, Rhenmyr dashes in and hews at with his axe and severs it cleanly. Thick black ichor sprays from the severed appendage and the stump writhes frantically (Marcán doesn't take constriction damage this round, but he can't act until the next round either).

Borric turns and whips his maul around at the vine Sokrates wounded and lines it up for an overhand strike:
Borric's Maul [1d20] = 10, damage [2d4+2] = 5+2 = 7
Unfortunately the mighty thewed northman seems a bit gassed from his frenzy and misses.

Sokrates squares up and raises his sword high overhead and brings it down with all of his might:
Sokrates Sword [1d20+2] = 12+2 = 14, damage [1d8+2] = 1+2 = 3
Although his sword makes contact with the vine he only slaps it with the flat of his blade and it rebounds harmlessly off it's tough skin.

I'll just lay around for a bit and enjoy a nap.

OOC

They are pretty nasty. Hopefully chopping up half their number wont make the rest angry.

 

[nikolokolus]

Spoiler

Apologies if some of you feel I'm being unfair. I fully expected this to be a very difficult fight that would require a bit of ingenuity, some teamwork and some good fortune to pull through. Without giving anything away, I'll just say any victory or treasure worth having is twice as sweet when it's hard-won.

 

[nikolokolus]

(OOC: I believe it's Ker's turn?)

Ker pushes one of the barrels on its side (let me know what else you wish to do).

 

[Grimgravy]

ooc

Can't complain. It's a pretty badass fight. Just sucks the Cleric went down in the first round.

 

[nikolokolus]

After Ker finishes his action, we'll move on to the next round and roll initiative.

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

Spoiler

Having the cleric go down first thing makes everything more fun! At least I'm not dead yet and I feel happy!

*poke* Helly Just need you tell me what you want to do with the tipped barrel bud

Oh, sorry, even though I watch the thread I missed the latest messages :-/

Ker starts filling the glass beaker with the liquid whilst opening the sealed jar with his sickle.

OOC

No problem. I have trouble with the notifications system all the time too.

Ker fills a glass beaker with about a quart of fluid and kneels to the ground and starts cutting into the wax seal of one of the clay urns with the protruding copper rod.

NEXT ROUND
Initiative: Sokrates and Borric [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3
Initiative: Viny Critter [1d6] = 5

 

[Helly]

Initiative [1d6] = 1
"Keep at it, boys, I...er...I might have something that'll help!"

 

[Grimgravy]

Initiative [1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6

"Help would be nice. Just don't blow us up doing it!"

 

[Helly]

Ker just grins.

 

[nikolokolus]

poke Siveon and Llywelyn ap Gruffydd

 

[Siveon]

Spoiler

I thought I couldn't do anything this round?

 

[nikolokolus]

Spoiler

Ah, Rhenmyr severed the vine that was holding you and you are now free to move about. We're now in the next round too. I re-read what I wrote and I can see why that might have created some confusion

 

[Siveon]

Initiative: [1d6] = 4

Marcán gets up from his dazed stupor. "I swear on me grandfather's terrible name...Ker don't do anything too stupid."

Spoiler

Copy that. Vines p. fair.

 

[Llywelyn ap Gruffydd]

Cormac continues to lay on the floor enjoying his surprise nap.

 

[nikolokolus]

Order of action
Rhenmyr
Vines
Marcán
Borric & Sokrates
Ker

I'll let Grimgravy resolve his action before I do anything, although it does appear the two remaining vines (one of which is half-severed and oozing black fluid) seem to be preoccupied with Borric and Sokrates for the moment.
