CH 2: Lost City of the Ancients

[Jerrard]

Sturm gives the webbing another slice with Brightblade tying to judge how long the pair will take to meet.

[mltillis]

Pushing past the pain, Caramon plants his feet and lunges with his longsword.


1d20+3 → [14,3] = (17)

1d8+5 → [5,5] = (10)

[JadedDM]

Tas starts sawing through the webbing with his dagger even faster to free Laurana. "Oh, no! Poor Flint! He gets into such trouble without me!"

Goldmoon fires another sling stone, but this one just plops into the water below, hitting nothing.

Caramon strikes at his opponent, nearing taking its left arm off with such a fierce blow. The monster howls in pain and rage. It wouldn't survive another hit like that.

Riverwind has less luck. The draconian dodges his attack entirely.

Sturm, Tanis and Raistlin all struggle against their bonds, while Flint snoozes loudly still.

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

Laurana hacks through the webbing. She'll be free next round with Tas' help.
Goldmoon attacks Draconian 05 with her sling (4, miss).
Sturm hacks through the webbing. He'll be free in about three rounds.
Caramon attacks Draconian 01 with his long sword (17, hit) for 10 damage.
Riverwind attacks Draconian 02 with his long sword (1d20+7): 10, miss.
Tasslehoff helps Laurana free herself.
Raistlin cannot move.
Tanis tries to free himself.
Flint snoozes lightly.

[Jenara]

(ooc: assume she will be free, so will post as much)

Swinging her sword above her head, Laurana cuts into the webbing, just as Tas pulls the last of it from her. "That stuff is horrible, ewwww!" She shouts as she nearly stumbles to the ground. "Thank you Tas, let us free Rastlin, maybe he can do something to stop them getting Flint."

(She will move around the web walking towards Rastlin, ready to help him)

[Jerrard]

Sturm keeps attacking the sticky webbing with bright blade the ancient steel sliding through the webbing.

[Breila]

Goldmoon fires another sling bullet at the draconian carrying Flint.

1d20=2, miss again

[JadedDM]

Tas and Laurana are able to free her from the webbing, but she cannot see a way to reach Raistlin unless Goldmoon steps back. Otherwise, Laurana must spend quite a bit of time hacking through more webbing to reach the mage.

Sturm continues to struggle against his bonds, and Riverwind's next attack is again easily parried by the draconian.

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

Laurana is freed from the webbing.

(OOC: Unless Goldmoon steps aside, I don't see any way for Laurana to walk around the webbing, as it covers the middle of the bridge. Unless she dives into the water, but then getting back up will prove challenging.)

Sturm continues struggling against the webbing. He will be free within 2 rounds.
Goldmoon slings a stone at Draconian 05 (2, miss).
Riverwind attacks Draconian 02 with his long sword (1d20+7): 9, miss.

1d8+5 → [2,5] = (7)

Caramon continues to attack his draconian opponent.

[JadedDM]

With a battle cry, Caramon sinks his blade into the creature's neck, bypassing its armor entirely. The monster chokes, unable to breathe. Caramon removes his sword and watches with satisfaction as the draconian falls to the ground, clawing at its neck. Then it goes still. However, mere moments later, the creature begins to convulse. Its skin seems to melt off its flesh like it was made of butter, leaving only the bones behind. The bones begin to vibrate, giving off a low hum, and then explode, sending shrapnel in all directions!

Riverwind and Caramon are both hit, but Riverwind's opponent takes a large shard of bone to the head. Before either warrior can react, that draconian has the same reaction, exploding, and pelleting them with more bone shrapnel.

Meanwhile, Tanis is grabbed by one of the hulking draconians and carried off. He struggles to free himself, cursing at the monster in both Common and Elven. The other draconian makes off with Flint, who is still snoozing away like nothing was wrong.

The final draconian, perhaps realizing that Sturm might be too heavy to carry off anyway, abandons him and instead makes for Raistlin. It cuts the mage loose from the webbing and grabs him, ready to take off with him, as well.

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

Caramon attacks Draconian 01 with his long sword (17, hit) for 7 damage. Draconian 01 dies.

Riverwind takes (1d6): 3 damage.
Caramon takes (1d6): 6 damage.
Draconian 02 takes (1d6): 5 damage. Draconian 02 dies.

Riverwind takes another (1d6): 1 damage.
Caramon takes another (1d6): 6 damage.

(OOC: Nice, two for the price of one.)

Draconian 03 cuts Tanis loose, grabs him.
Draconian 04 is stuck. Three rounds to go.
Draconian 05 carries off Flint.
Draconian 06 hacks his way through the webbing toward Raistlin.

Party's Initiative (1d10): 9
Enemy's Initiative (1d10): 6

(Enemy wins!)

(Party's turn.)

[Breila]

Goldmoon drops her sling to attack the draconian carrying Raistlin with the blue crystal staff. "The Goddess curse you evil beings!" she shouts.

1d20=14 Sorry, entered bonus and damage wrong in IC, bonus is +3, making a 17 (hit AC1), should I re-roll damage (1d8 instead of 1d6)?

damage re-rolled 1d8=5

[JadedDM]

(OOC: Yeah, you can reroll damage as 1d8.)

[Jenara]

"Tanthalas!" Laurana screams, her heart in her chest, she draws her bow, to shoot the creature, then realizing it might hurt Tanis she shoots at the trapped creature in anger, hoping it might distract the others to come after her.

"Come and get me, look at the little helpless Elf!" She shouts, letting loose two arrows.

1d20=19, 1d20=1
Dammit! Invis castle hates me! One hit and a fumble.

1d8=1

(Well done, Laurana, you glanced it, and broke your bow...)

[Jerrard]

Sturm fights against his bonds, trying to escape, he will take chase as soon as he is free.

[JadedDM]

Dropping her sling, Goldmoon strikes with the Blue Crystal staff, knocking a loose scale from the draconian's back with her blow. It cringes, but otherwise ignores her as it gathers up the webbed wizard.

Laurana drops her sword and quickly picks her bow back up, taking aim while Sturm finally tears free of the webbing.

Riverwind and Tas retrieve their fallen weapons, ready to fight to save their comrades.

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

Goldmoon drops her sling and attacks Draconian 06 with the Blue Crystal Staff (17, hit) for 5 damage.
Laurana drops her sword and picks up her bow.
Sturm struggles against the webbing and frees himself!
Riverwind retrieves his knife.
Tasslehoff retrieves his hoopak.

(OOC: Laurana dropped her bow earlier to draw her sword. Picking up a dropped item takes up a round. On the bright side, it means your fumble is null and void, and her bow isn't broken.)

Caramon moves to attack the draconian carrying off his brother, but misses while trying to avoid striking Raistlin.
