<x-tab> </x-tab>[Recap]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Rocky continues
slinging bullets until they get close when he tucks away the sling, draws
his blade and starts swinging.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Whatever “close” is. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Taking his cue
from Rocky, Mournath continues firing arrows with his bow until melee
engagement seems likely, then he'll swap to his sword.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Varo sees one of
her arrows hit, but the other glancing off the creature’s body armor
& does a quick 360-degree look around to see if any other creatures
can be spotted. If no other creatures seen (& her spell seems to have
not helped), she will move away from the horses & toward Rocky and
the two creatures beyond him (#5 & 6), as the horses are secured to
the trees & moving around too much.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>She looks for her
javelins & moves toward them, but if they are near Rocky or anyone
else's reach, she will call out to them to go ahead & use them, as
they may be stronger & can throw them farther & more effectively
than she could.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>She will make
sure her rapier & shield are ready for use, and move closer to Rocky,
& hence toward #5 & 6, in order for her arrows to be more
effective. She feels aiming more at body center, maybe toward center
& abdomen, might be more effective then limb or head shots, and avoid
aiming at tentacles which keep moving around to knock arrows &
javelins aside. She will switch over to rapier & shield only if the
creatures get too close, or her arrows continue to bounce off, despite
being much closer to the beasts.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>She feels her
skin crawling, & knows she will not want to be within reach of those
flexible arms. She thinks of Earth Queen, Ernalda, and pulls that
comforting thought around her like a protective blanket as she moves
between Rocky & the horses, moving slightly toward the campfire &
her javelins, readying her next arrow to fire again.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. The Detect Trap thing is a god interpretations
thing. What is a “trap” for a animal? For a Rattlesnake his bite is
just defense not a trap per se. So it is how the gods see the term. :) As
to Javelins probably near the horses. I assume you don't use them.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Juno: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Juno first cast
coordination (1) on him self
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Then he has two
options :
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Run to grab
varo's Javelins and use it to throw at the nearest enemy.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Or
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Cast speedart
spell on spear and throw his spear at the nearest enemy.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Juno silently
prays : Grant me speed my lord!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
G<M: Ack. So I had already done round 1 when got
this. Because of spear range I'll keep it as is. But to
switch to spear from bow will be a 5 Strike Rank as normal. So will do
the spell and spear on round 2. If enough Srs.

Klorgar fires at #5 hitting it in the 3rd tentacle doing
enough to disable that wet appendage.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren glances to see 4 of them on the ground so holds off
making sure he can defend Varen.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varen points at #5 and #6 and murmurs. “Wonder how
many are left” he asks Jaren.

<x-tab> </x-tab>

<x-tab> </x-tab>

<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo glances over and sees #1 hitting in right arm doing
2points.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren sees #1 stand and move. “One is moving again!”
points to #1.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky aims at #6 hits in right leg but bounces off.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Marusk aims at #1 hits in left arm but it bounces.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar aims for #6 but it diverts and hits #5 in another
tentacle and the creature stops moving probably dead.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
---------------------
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 4]
</b>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath fires at the #1 creature that was down and is now
back up? But his arrow goes wide and he misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar fires on #6 and hits in tentacle 3 doing 3 points.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Juno casts coordination as he runs north and switches to his
spear from his back. He gives a silent prayer as he runs.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
Jaren realizes as only 2 seem to be left. He feels Varek is safe so
moves toward the creature on ground still twitching with his leg
disabled.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varek nods and hears the horses murmur but seem to settle
down.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Marusks aims at #1 but misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo, Razor, Rocky and Mournath now act at the same time.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo aims at #6 hitting with her self bow Tentacle #1 doing
1 point.
</b> <x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgor fires on at #1 hitting in the head! A great shot
doing 3 points but the beast seems to still lumber forward!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky aims at #1 and fires his sling hitting in the leg
doing massive damage. The leg collapses and the beast falls.
But does not seem to move anymore.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath aims at #6 but misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar fires on #6 hits in the chest doing 7 points but the
beast continues to lumber forward.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo aims at #6 but misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgar aims at #6 and also misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky aims at #6 hitting the at tentacle #2 doing massive
critical virtually tearing the tentacle off his body. The creature
collapses and falls not moving.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
As the last wet plop is heard form #6 hitting the ground the
swamp ends in silence. Then insects starts making noise. Everyone looks
around to ensure no new enemy has escaped the water to attack. But
nothing new is seen.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren reaches creature #3 who has been disabled to move but
still moving. He stabs the creature with his sword 3 quick times to
ensure it dies. But as the creature dies on the first stab a green cloud
emerges from the beak/head thing. On the 3rd stab it reaches
Jaren's face. It takes him a second to realize and he falls to his
knees then onto his side.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
This takes place just as some start to speak up after seeing
Jaren move toward the creature. But the warning is too late Jaren
has gotten there when #6 was being ganged up on.

</x-tab>Next update –
Next Mon/Tue?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Ok. I underestimated the beasts. Way too slow only 1 hex per
round compared to 2.5 for you guys. Granted 1, 5 and 6 would've
been in melee range in 1 more round. So close. Once in melee
would've been a bit more sticky situation. Thought would've been
easy to just run away. So should've added 2-4 more and the missile
fire would've not handled all of them likely . Oh well. I
know now. :) So today is my last eye treatment and then the d4 betas next
2 weekends. So I'll do a small update next week mon/tue (so have
posts in by noon monday EST). Mainly to report on experience and
aftermath stuff.
