Down in the Depths

Cull Seer

As you all pontificate as to the cause of the carnage, you see walk up 80 feet away a strange, large, hairy, two-headed monstrosity, with bug guts and blood all over its body, and the remnants of bug blood running down its face. It walks up, and one of its heads says, "Hey, Cull! Looks like we both eat today."

OOC:

Party goes first, then "Cull Seer", the ettin.

OOC:

We will use theater of the mind, generally speaking, but this gives you a little sense of the distance and stuff.

If you were to retreat through that tunnel you came through in the south, you are fairly certain that he would not be able to follow you.

With his shield raised Kevin levels a wand with two copper pipes on it. From this dual barreled wand, a fire bolt shoots down the tunnel. The shot goes passed the creature. Gulp!
Kevin starts to shift as he readies himself for the creature to attack them.

Alin looks disparagingly at the creature and calls out. "With two brains you should know better than to openly attack a party of so many people.". They take their time and aim for for a spot where both heads would feel the effect, then make a gesture as if throwing something.

@Len, I'll give you a couple more days before I progress the combat along.

Gunnar advances down the hall, axe in hand, in no particular hurry. "Easy there, big guy," he calls out.

The large giant-kin looks on at his snacks, when all of a sudden, they lash out at him.

The firebolt goes wide, but the ghostly hand phases through his shoulder, and some strange spectral essence is taken with it, while some psychic daggers fly and land squarely on him.

Gunnar moves up and prepares for the assault of the giant-kin.

It roars in pain, and jogs forward, looking at Gunnar. Gunnar is visibly shaken by this creature.

OOC:

Mechanically, Gunnar is stunned until the creature's next turn. Lucky for you all, Gunnar is about 15 feet from the creature, and it cannot move more.

Your turns.

"Relax and watch the grass grow," the druid said while he wiggled his fingers. Weeds and vines sprouted to entangle the double-header.

OOC:

Casting Entangle on the 2-header's square and the one in front of it.
For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.
DC 15 Strength saving throw or it's restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

Incapacitate the tank! There goes my free sneak attack!

"The only thing that two heads does for you oaf, is make you twice as ugly!" Alin quips a they stand steady and aim for the better looking head. For flair, and perhaps distraction, Alin allows a purple blade to manifest and fly towards the creatures face.

Cull Seer

Grass grows from the stone-hewn ground, reaching up to grasp the ettin, but he is strong and able to escape its hold.

The psychic blade lands on the giant-kin, while Kevin and his battlecat assault the large, gross monster. Kevin lands a mean stab into the side, just under the ribs of the ettin, and some nasty-smelling, thick, dark blood starts to pour out of the wound.

Gunnar shakes his head, and gains control of his person again.

The monster's left head lifts up, while the right head looks away from the foes. The left head then opens its mouth and points it in the direction of Kevin, Gunnar, and his steel defender.

"Mend," Ghillie said, and shining spores raced from around him to settle on Kevin's most grievous wounds. Layers of mushrooms grew instantly to numb the burns' pain and to pump a little life into the shifter.

"Rot!" he shouted, and another ghostly fist swung down the corridor at the monstrosity!

OOC:

Gunnar reporting in at 10/55 hp!

With his eyebrows and beard singed damn near completely off, Gunnar fumes. He tightens his grip on Fuldmåne and charges with murder in his heart. As he does so, the ghosts of the Mror Howlers charge with him! They fan out to defend Gunnar's allies, ethereal axes and shields in their ghostly hands.

As Fuldmåne smashes into the giant's shins, it is apparent that the dwarf's usual good humour has been replaced with snarling, spitting rage!

Bonus action: Rage!
Action: Attack recklessly! If Gunnar hits, it activates Ancestral Protectors

Alin, relieved that Ghillie has healed their friend, steps back a little (5’) and uses two hands to fling psychic knives at the beast. "You will pay for that." they mutter, greatly humbled by the giant kin’s abilities.
