Oh boy, I have a bad feeling Beruga is about to charge into a BBEG

I've been treating it like Barley is the telephone operator. So, he can connect himself with one person or all peopl, but once we are connected we can talk freely. I think we are already connected.

Is there any structure weak enough that Barley could telekinetic pull and maybe trap some of the imps under? Like a window or doorway or something? If there is. I would like to focus and then hold my action until we decide to run or fight. I'll roll for it now, but I would like my action until we decide to charge or not.

"This doesn't look good! I might be able to bring one of these structures and block their path. Do you want me to do that as we charge?", Barley thinks to everyone and the focuses his energy. Looking for a group of imps. He focuses on the crumbling structures of of the ancient city building up his power.

Rhidon thinks to all, "I don't know if we need to flee, but we need to ensure we don't get surrounded if we can help it. Maybe we can assume a defensive position around the structure?"

OOC:

Not sure if I'm picturing this right, but basically wondering if we can position ourselves against a structure preventing any from attacking from the one flank, or perhaps bringing down some of the weak structures to create sort of a choke-point that will force them to funnel towards us instead of allowing for us to be encircled if that makes sense.

OOC: Are we fighting the demons? If then I will start to attack.

OOC:

Barley can hear everyone but has to relay things to the others. So when things are slow it can be assumed to work like a group chat but for tense or quick changing situations you can only use telepathy to Barley.

Barley's telekinesis is not strong enough to move anything heavier than he can easily manipulate with a single hand. He might be able to cause some of the thinner vines to crate a small net but not enough to trapp all of the things.

Though the plant life of this area is oddly withered the buildings are still of good quality. You look around a know you are surrounded but have options of flight, or possibly taking shelter in one of the buildings with fewer windows and door so they can not come at you form all sides.

Vaun rushed forward to attack the demonic creature in front of the house. He unsheathed his dagger and took a calculated swing at the creature. He thought mentally so that Barley can pick it up, "Let's get in the house and try to bottleneck the demons. We are too exposed in the open."

OOC: Lets get in the structure right in front of us (7-11, A-G). I am attacking the demon H8.

Beruga

Dec 11, 2023 6:56 am

Ok, to the house it is then. Friends, I will join you in battle once I get this Ill-fated gnome to safety!

Beruga reaches back and pulls a cord on her harness with the inscription PULL IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. The sound of a comical slide whistle can be heard as a magical red balloon inflates and ascends above her. Once the line is taught, Beruga's back arches and her feet gently lift off the ground, pawing in circles as she does so. She swims through the air, the unconscious gnome attached to her, aiming to land on the roof of the house that Vaun had moved towards.

[ +- ] self-inflating balloon

OOC:

I'm rolling for the time that my magic balloon can keep me elevated. I'm not sure how tall the building is or how much movement I have (I imagine probably half of my normal speed?), but I'd like to get to the highest safe place possible - either to the roof, or to a window without a demon in it. (If not possible, I will simply descend back down to the rest of the party rather than engage)

Barley reaches out his hand a makes a pulling gesture, his mind grabs at one of the vines making a trip wire as the imps advance. He then turns quick as lightning and throws a psychic bolt into the imp Vaun runs towards.

OOC:

Ok, sounds good. I'm going to use the held telekinetic pull from the previous roll. Pull with focus (4,2) to put a trip wire using a vine from k4 to o5. Then I will turn and telekinetic blast
H8

Rhidon charges into the structure, looking around for any windows or other points of access he should look to secure.

Vaun rushes towards a doorway slashing with his dagger and instantly popping one of the imps with his dagger. Behind him Beruga rushes towards the building and begins floating up into the air. Barely moves some vine to try and obstruct one while blasting another that also explodes into a cloud of thick oily smoke. Rhidon rushes into the room and slams his nunchaku into an imp in the rooms far window knocking it apart into another thick cloud. This leaves Beruga outside alone with the imps.

OOC:

I may simplify this to use rounds instead of seconds to avoid confusion but for now let's say 4 rounds

A few imps charge the windows and door of the building but the rest target Beruga but are not quite able to catch up to her rapid assent

Vaun watched as Barley get swarmed by demons as he eviscerated one in front of him. He turned to Beruga and spoke, "Watch out, they are reaching you. Can you move closer to the building? May be bring them towards us?"

He moved to assist Barley, charging to attack the swarming demons as he raised his dagger to strike at them.

OOC: Moving to 10F and attacking the demon at 11F.

Beruga

Dec 12, 2023 9:14 am

Oh ****, these are flying imps! I guess I should have figured, since they very obviously have wings. I'd better act fast!

Beruga rummages into her harness from midair and pulls out a small knife with some faint rust along the edges. She holds it blade down and aims it at the nearest imp pursuing her, focuses, and then releases. With her remaining turn, she will attempt to swim through the air towards the building with her friends and land on the roof.

She is also keeping an eye out for any substantial plant life in the immediate area.

OOC:

Moving around inside the building does not take an action so Vaun can add another roll to his earlier post

Beruga removes another imp from mid air as they fly up to get at her. Vaun slices an imp, causing it to melt into its own cloud as well

Dec 12, 2023 2:09 pm

OOC: Got that demon in the second attack.

Dec 12, 2023 5:18 pm

Barley attempts to dodge the demon's attack and pulls out his sword, slicing at the demon directly in front of him.

Oof, Barley is just flailing around, lol. Good thing everyone else is hitting their targets.

With the imp infront of Rhidon dissipating into thin air, Rhidon heads over beside Barley and tries to strike both of the imps before him with a nunchuck in each hand.

Beruga

Dec 13, 2023 6:19 am

OOC:

Is Beruga close to the roof yet? If so, she will look for a safe place to position the Gnome and then search for a way to join her friends below. Meanwhile to buy time...

Beruga is exhilarated at her first kill. Adrenaline pumps through her as she looks back into her harness for more things to throw down. A waterskin, 2 days of food rations, and the leather transport node address are all let loose in the hopes of slowing the ascent of the gnomes below her.

OOC:

I'm treating this "attack" as a generic skill check, but lmk if I should roll something else
