Reaching the Kvarek and hearing Ansel's direction, Lothar swings his staff at more of the swarming creatures over him. 'What were these things?'

Kvarek avoids the creatures and he and Oria manage to crush the absurd bats with their weapons, but you can see that the creatures are slowly knitting their wounds. Some foul sorcery is at foot no doubt, or unnatural regenerative properties.

Frustrated by the lack of purchase he had on his first assault on the swarm, Bartalom stands upright and grunting loudly, he swings his staff wildly about him

"Damn you fell creatures!"

"Fuckin' things just keep comin'. Lothar swears looking for that little goblin bastard. 'He had to have known something about this.'

OOC:
@neoanomally, any action for Ansel?
Sep 13, 2022 12:41 pm
Sucking in a quick breath at the sight of the bats healing, Kvarek says, "Gods, we may need to burn these to end them."
Sep 13, 2022 4:16 pm
"What the heck?" Oria glares at the self-healing bats. "What fiendish magic is this? Are they even really bats?"
Sep 13, 2022 5:47 pm
Ansel glares at the bats. Looks to Kvarek and Oria as they speak. "Don't worry Kvarek, I bring the light of prios with me." Ansel holds up his Warhammer in his right hand and levels the head of it to eye level. He then pulls on a small amulet of prios that's wrapped around his starts a prayer. Quickly his Warhammer is bathed in the light of Prios. For the first time since Ansel joined this band, leans all his weight on his left leg and goes to swing at the swarm.
OOC:
Apologies I thought my leader was the action for this turn. Ansel activates Witch Hammer [ Novice ] onto his warhammer. I'm unclear if that's a movement action or not. It says Free. Holy fire encircles the novice's melee weapon and deals 1d4 additional damage or 1d6 if the target is an abomination or an undead. Remains active for remainder of scene.. If it's a movement action I'll use my attack action as well.

Rolls

Accurate 13 - (1d20)

(17) = 17

Warhammer - (1d8)

(5) = 5

Holy blight-hating fire - (1d4)

(2) = 2

OOC:
Correct, it's a free action, so no time required to activate. It is an abomination, so if you hit, then it's 1d6 damage. Unfortunately, Ansel did not hit this time (their Defense is -5, so he would need to roll Accurate of 13-5=8 or lower).
They attack Kvarek again, who should roll against his Defense -1 or take 0 Penetrating damage (ignores 5 points armor). If he fails to defend then he rolls armor (1d6) and if any bites get through (he doesn't roll a 5 or 6), even though it does no physical damage, he'll take 1d6 temporary corruption damage.

Everyone may act in whatever order they choose.

"Is there any point in hacking away at these creatures if they just keep healing? Anybody got any bright ideas on what to do? While you're thinking I'll be hacking I hope."

Oria swings and hopes...fire doesn't seem to work.

Orla's attack is after Kvarek's Defense test, but she will put knock them down again.
Oria clubs them down to the ground again, although only for a moment before they begin to stitch together again.

This is either dark magic, or else ….
OOC:
GM, does Baralom’s Beast Lore give him any insight into what these creatures are? What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Lothar pushes in ahead of Kvarek, seeing him swarmed beyond his protection. If he could divert their attention for a few moments, perhaps the priest could work whatever miracle he was incanting.
OOC:
I don't have the bodyguard ability but I'm trying to attract their attention. If Beast Lore might help with finding something that would entice them, rolled. Also Persuasive (though I doubt) that would affect the creatures. Will include an attack, if the persuade attempt is for some reason not an action, or is not applicable.

"Maybe if we can lead them out of this hollow they will die in the natural light. Otherwise, I am all out of ideas unless someone has suitable magic they can call upon. Just keep trying.

Orla ponders what she could do to have them follow her.

"I have nothing but the light of Prios." Ansel tries swinging his flamed Warhammer one last time before working with the others on some other idea about this abomination.

Bartalom believes that these are abominations, a swarm of corrupted creatures. Fire is likely the only way to keep them from closing their wounds with supernatural vigor. Ansel is likely the only one doing lasting damage, or would if he could land a blow.

Lothar comes to the same conclusion.
Sep 22, 2022 2:44 am
OOC:
Just to clarify since I was the last to go and it sounds like I''d be the only one to do lasting damage. Are we waiting to go around again in initiative? Or should we do something different as a group?
