Lambor's Hold

Aug 19, 2021 3:33 pm
Arphaxad was awakened to a living nightmare. Despite vowing to not get jumped by creepy monstrosities while asleep, he woke up to the same insectoid swarm gnawing at his imagination. But this one was real, and it gnawed at his scales and had mortally wounded Belathor the priest. Shouting a dwarven battle cry, the Dragonborn fighter lunged head on to the remaining giant centipede still engaging Taz who is defending the prone priest. He then swung his battleaxe high and onto the centipede's head.

Arphaxad shakes off the swarm gnawing at his scales and moves over next to the downed cleric. In one swift motion, he brings his battleaxe down on the large centipede and, though he doesn't quite hit it well enough to chop it in two, he severs most of its thick body, causing it to writhe on the ground for a second and then lie limp and dead. Just as with the first centipede, the swarm it commanded weakens and many - though not all - members of it seem to lose their internal drive and compulsion to attack.

Centipede 2 is also dead, Swarm 2 has also lost some cohesion.

It's Belathor's turn. I don't think he can do anything but roll a death save right now but I'll turn it over to you for now anyway, since it's late and maybe there is something else you can do :D

Belathor is still clinging to life, though he is still unconscious and bleeding on the floor.
Meanwhile, the swarm of critters on top of him first seems to shift towards Taz when she approaches and attacks but then, as soon as Arphaxad kills the centipede leading them, the remainder of the swarm climbs on top of him and begins digging into his scales. This swarm seems more persistent than the other, though it is also weaker after most of it has been lost to the hive. Slapping his chest and legs with his large shield, Arphaxad manages to bash them off himself and prevent any serious wounds

At the same time, the other swarm climbs all over Auras and, as she unfortunately lacks the scales to protect herself, they bore into her skin and leave some small, nasty wounds all over her legs.

OOC:
None of you are wearing armor but I'll say Arphaxad has his shield along with his weapon, so that is just barely enough to not get damaged.
Auras takes 5 points of damage. (Is your sheet updated, by the way, Jack. It still says Level 1 on it.

It's Auras' turn

Auras is absolutely disgusted and not happy about the bugs attacking her. "Get off me you filthy..." and pulls out her hand axe and tries to get swarm off of her and dispersed all the while casting armour of the shadows to protect herself from further attacks.

Auras swipes at the swarm on her legs with her hand axe but as she doesn't want to sink the blade into her leg, she can only swat at them with the side. And while she does manage to swipe some of them off, they climb back on quicker than she can get rid of them.

"Oh! Well done!" Taz cheered, when the dragonborn cleaved the centipede before her. "Now for the rest of you buggers," she said, turning back to the down priest. She swiped at the swarm still assailing him, trying to carefully slap away some of the insects with her blade.

Taz attempts to attack the swarm that has now moved from Belathor to Arphaxad but again, they're on top of her ally, so it's really hard to actually attack them without hurting the dragonborn.
In the end, her weapon attacks don't seem to actually do anything to the wild critters.

Narissa rolls out of bed moving towards the fallen Father Smythe, she draws magic in through her shoulders and looks quickly towards the swarm surrounding Auras and releases it in an attempt to freeze those creepy crawlies too. Gods, she thinks, I hope there are none in my hair. So gross.

Narissa sends out a wave of pure cold towards the creatures attacking Auras. Auras feels the tingle of freezing cold in her legs as a couple of the critters fall off of her, dead and frozen. Still, the majority of the swarm is still active and continues to attack her.

With the swarm of insects moving on top of his scales, Arphaxad was thankful for his draconic ancestry and it helped to mitigate the stinging bites. If he was a normal dwarf or any other person he would be scarred or worse end up like the poor priest on the floor. He batted the remaining crawlers from his body with tooth, nail, tail, and axe with renewed fervor. ''getoff ye filthy buggers! I'll nae be buggered and violated by vermin!''

Arphaxad frenzies, hitting himself with the broad side of his axe and smashing bugs all over himself. Many of them fall dead to the ground around him and the swarm visibly shrinks in size, but it is not gone entirely just yet.

What remains of the swarm, maybe deciding that Arphaxad is too dangerous and difficult of a target moves off him and instead climbs on Tassarien and sinks its many jaws into her instead. Her legs hurt from the many wounds as the swarm draws blood in many spots.

At the same time, the other swarm continues to bite down on Auras but it can't seem to really get the human's skin through her clothes for the moment and she doesn't suffer any major injuries.

5 damage to Swarm 2 (halved, as it resists Slashing damage) and 6 damage to Taz as the swarm finds a new target.

I skipped over Belathor to keep things moving, as I believe he can only make a death save, unfortunately. So it is both Belathor's and Auras' turn now.

It's pretty tricky to cast a spell on creatures that are currently attacking you but Auras manages to push through the pain of her injuries and an arc of electricity shots from her fingertips, hitting one of the bugs after the other, killing them instantly and moving on to the next and the next until, after a few seconds of this lightning barrage, the lightning disappears as Auras finds herself standing in the middle of a whole pile of dead vermin.

"Ahhh! Get off of me, you creepy little pests! No one has ever loved a bug, you're all just worthless little pests!" It was unlike Taz to be so negative, but she knew the power of words and intent, and her slender little rapier wasn't having much effect on the swarm. So she went for menacing instead, and hoped to sap some of the bugs' will with a little Mean Girl Magic.

The swarm, maybe because it cannot understand Taz, maybe because it doesn't care, seems entirely unaffected by her vicious words.

Belathor, after fading into darkness from initially being overwhelmed by both the swarm and the centipede while being caught off-guard, now feels light returning to him and he opens his eyes to find the situation changed from when he first fell unconscious. Most of the enemies are dead, only one severely weakened swarm remains, which is currently attacking Taz.
