Part 3: The Spider's Web

Apr 6, 2016 10:36 pm
Xora skillfully leads the way toward the ruins of Thundertree and for the first few days it goes smoothly. On the third day out, at about midday you all feel as though you're being watched, like maybe something is following you. You hear noises in the forest to your right, but you can't tell yet what it is. The only thing you can tell is that it's headed in your direction.

Kama generally fills the air with quiet banter, filling in any awkward silences with tales of his farmland that usually involve drinking, animals, and the thing someone did to something that one time in the river, not necessarily in any order.

On the third day, the unsettling feeling after lunch does not go away, and the half-orc's eyes flit about the area to see if unspoken signals can be picked out.

After a moment, Kama burps. Darn lunch.

As the tension grows Hollow moves to the left side of the road. Though she isn't as perceptive as others in the party, she tries to get eyes on it.

Owlbear, Round One Begin
A hush falls over the group for a moment as they wait for a response. Suddenly, a crash comes from the trees to their left and a hulking beast races toward them. It looks like a bear, with the face and beak of an owl. You all recognize it as an owlbear.
OOC:
It won initiative
The owlbear rushes toward Hollow first, snapping with its beak and slashing with its claws. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Hollow takes a beak to the side (10 damage), and as she tries to avoid the next attack the beast manages to catch her right across the back with it's massive claws (15 damage).

OUCH

Grunting in disapproval, I take a few steps towards Hollow and rest a hand on her shoulder, chanting an incantation in Draconic. Afterwards, I take several steps backwards while keeping an arrow pointed at the owlbear's head. "Spread out, everyone!"

Kama shouts, trying to get the owlbear's attention away from Hollow and allow Xora range for her shots. He surges forward with his greataxe, slashing twice in great arcs against the ferocious beast in a vain attempt to drive it back.

Owlbear, Round One End

The owlbear looks at Kama just as the greataxe hits home twice (13 damage total). Massive gashes are left in the beast's hide and it roars angrily, focusing on Kama now.

Wish takes advantage of the beast's distraction to thrust his rapier at the monster's back. His blade sinks deep into the creature's flank (14 damage)
OOC:
I assume Xora used Cure Wounds?

The owlbear has taken 27 damage so far, but it still appears to be more angry than hurt.

Gonna wait for Hollow to act before I move on.

Hollow lays very still as the owlbear shifts its attention away from her and onto the powerful half-orc.

The owlbear screeches at Kama and begins trying to rip him to pieces. It catches him with its beak and then digs deep furrows into his abdomen with its large claws (22 total damage).

Kama's knees buckle, barely able to stand after the onslaught. The half-orc's eyes dilate as he roars his challenge back at the owlbear, froth and spittle flecking out from his tusks. Working himself into a near blind rage, Kama swings again

I feel the air around me and adjust my aim to account for the owlbear's movements before I release the arrow. Completely focused on the beast, I yell towards my companions, "Does everyone still stand?"

Round Two, Owlbear Continued
Kama, barely able to keep on his feet, swings his axe but can't seem to hit where he is aiming.

Xora's arrow strikes true, slamming the owlbear right in between the shoulder blades (9 damage).

Wish steps up behind the beast and plunges his rapier in again. He scores another solid hit in the creature's flank (13 damage).

Hollow takes her chance to get away from the beast before turning around and firing an eldritch blast at its back. Still weak from her wounds, she misses.

The owlbear continues attacking Kama. It scores a hit with its beak (10 damage), knocking the powerful half-orc to the ground and turns on Wish. It catches him with its claws (15 damage) and he cries out in pain.

Kama barely has time to whisper, "Not good," before his axe slips from his hands. He remains where the owlbear felled him, unconscious.

Round Three, Owlbear Continued
Wish launches one more attack with his rapier before turning and leaping away from the enraged beast. He manages to hit the beast, a glancing blow that deflects off the creature's thick ribs (6 damage).

Hollow stands back and launches another magical assault on the monster. The attack goes far wide of the mark and slams into a tree not far off.

Owlbear has taken 55 damage and looks very weak.

Its death is imminent. I can smell it. I close my eyes for a moment, visualizing the beasts death before I release the arrow. "Wear it down! Stay out of reach!" I'll tend to Kama once the owlbear is dead. He has proved himself a true warrior time and time again- I owe him at least that.

Xora's arrow hits the owlbear right in the eye, pushing right through into its brain. With barely a sound the creature falls to the ground, quite dead.

Wish rushes to his fallen friend, pulling out some bandages and beginning to attempt to stem his bleeding friends' wounds. He calls back to Xora, "You got any more of that healing to go around?"

I lean over Kama, gripping his shoulder tightly as the incantation, uttered in my gutteral mother tongue, begins to take effect.

You only add your Wis mod to your healing spells, not your proficiency as well. That should be 1d8+3
