Hey! It attacked us first!
Arc was just responding before this... whatever it is... gets my friends underwater.

Otherwise... Cool shots, right? ;) Arc has been practicing

It attacked first. Combat law says we can defend ourselves while still negotiating. In fact, we have to defend ourselves in order to prove we're worth not attacking. Otherwise it'd just eat us and call it a day. Skeeve's perfectly willing to kill it. Again: it attacked first.

Also, I thought talking was "free". You can talk all you want. But, fine, we'll kill it. Everyone: Fire away.

yeah I was just giving you a hard time 😜
I always thought the negotiations in 5th element was very effective 😁
@ChrSch - Aizashi is up

Eh, the parley was a long shot anyway. Maybe we can get a little treasure from it if we kill it. Skeeve needs to restock.

Aizashi attacks the tentacle holding him twice, hoping to be able to break free.

Both Aizashi and Skeeve feel a slight numbing from the tendrils where they were struck but both quickly destroy the tentacle. Arc Aims back along the tentacles and sinks two arrows into the area around their origin. As the shafts strike you hear them not hitting mud or some soft mushroom but a cracking sound as they penetrate something fleshy.

A worm-like creature erupts from the mound with part of its body still buried in the loose soil and fungus. It has multiple short fleshy legs alongs its length and 8 tendrils sprout from around its head, though a could are now mangled from your attacks.

Opening its mouth wide it raises its body high and emits a keening screech as a fluid is sprayed out over the group. Save test or become partially paralyzed, disadvantage on all rolls for 1 round After spraying you it flops down and lashes out with its tentacles once more.

OOC:

to be clear, the tentacles are long and thin and automatically coil around targets they strike. However they are not strong enough to hold fast, unless you fail your save...

OOC:

I'll only include my saves in this post so I can ask a question: Would my Shatter ability count each of the tentacles as a separate target, or is the creature as a whole just a single target? Just askin' ...

OOC:

I'm ok with each tentacle being targeted but only hit on a 6 for ranged attacks. Damage to them will not harm the creature but will eliminate a tentacle from attacking

Kaarik succeeds to avoid the splash of acid but cannot do anything againts the tentacle.

However, he is able to make 2 quick shots with his bow and is positively surprised to see that those seem to hit the creature.

Skeeve is reduced to Disadvantage this round, so he'll resort to the long-shot of the reduced Shatter effect, doing it for both actions. Next round, once the penalty lifts, he'll change tactics again.

... and no effect.

Aizashi can't avoid the acid in time but manages to get away from being grabbed by the tentacles. He quickly tries to counter attack .

The creatures spray of spittle seeps into the skin and lungs of Skeeve and Aizashi causing them to shudders and convulse from a spreading numbness that weakens and slows them. Save each round or continue to have disadvantage. Though able to avoid much or the spray Arc and Kaarik are both grabbed by one of the tentacles and feels a heavy lethargy invade their body from the point of contact. Ignoring the tentacle they shoots the beast once and tries for a second time but the toxins inhibit his coordination and thinking Loss of 1 action each time you fail a save from a tentacle strike

Vile crawler

The creature sensing its advantage lunges to bite Skeeve, attempting to swallow him while its tentacles continue to attack the others.
Anyone hit needs to roll a save. Disadvantage from the spray does not affect save tests. If Skeeve fails his save he is "swallowed" and takes +1 damage a has disadvantage on all action tests

The creature is looking wounded but not yet severely so

Crap! I can't get anything good off while continuously disadvantaged!

Well, here's the save test first ...

Thank goodness! Not swallowed!

Two attacks with Stick!

One hit; one miss. But the hit is a critical, so it's kinda a wash this round.
