Chapter 2: Local Heroes

Chigaru can't see much as his associates are blocking the entries into the farther rooms, so he stays put, keeping an eye on both branches of the tunnel to make a move when it appears he might be needed.

Jan 12, 2025 11:28 am

Khel moves into the room and fires a bolt at the nearest creature. It hits him, and it falls to the ground burning.

Grimwulf rushes in after Khel and clobber one so it falls over the railing and down on the ground where it lays unmoving.

Shalelu stands ready with her bow, in case more come out of the hole.

OOC:

There is in fact no limit to the number of bennies you have, it just resets whenever a new session begins. Sessions is difficult to measure on a PbP, so I’ll use the Chapters. We’ll reset whenever I make a new chapter.

Khel, the TN is 4, so that would be a raise so it would be an extra d6 of damage, I rolled for you and got a 3. Just enough to take it out.

This means it was already dead for Grimwulf’s action. Luckily he’ll reach the pink one with his barbarian boosted speed and takes that one down.

Shalelu holds for now.

Saldrina left to act.

Can't see green. There's a hole down into the level below, so would have to move to the top of it if you want to target it.

Okay, she will hold her action, then.

Li and Saldrina can see one trying to climb out the hole, but there's a dead body blocking his way and he can't seem to get a good enough grip on the wall. The two remaining ones rushes at Grimwulf and Khel however. Their attacks though are feeble and easily dodged by you.

OOC:

Saldrina, Li and Wess is up, and I'll draw new cards to see who acts next in the next round.

EDIT: They will act first next round.

Li runs towards the hole and seeing the monstrosity trying to climb up through the hole: tries to pierce it with the tip of his katana - right between its eyes. He'll refine his jab again if need be.

OOC:

Using Li's edge:

To attack TWO times with no patently:) Besides as monster is busy climbing up, maybe there should be some advantage(+mod?) of Li stabbing him at that moment? But, let's see the rolls, maybe that won't be needed:)

Wess heads into the room after Grimwulf "Hold up, plenty for both of us! See, they are coming to say 'hello'. Hahaha" Wess says as he attacks another ugly with his axe.

Li strides forward and sends two shuriken into the hole. The first one bounces off the rock, but the other one hits the creature on the shoulder. Though it is a hit, it bounces off its natural armor.

Wess on the other hand has more luck. He rushed to Khel’s side and separates its head from its body.

OOC:

Wess, that was a hit with raise, and so you get extra 1d6 damage. Don’t matter what you roll though, as a 1 is enough to take it down.

Saldrina should be able to see the brown one if she walks next to Chigaru. She should also be able to press in next to Li.

Khel was alarmed at the sudden rush of the sinspawn but within a moment it got beheaded by Wess. He turned towards Wess and said, "Thank you, Master Wess. You saved me from the claws of this nasty creature." He then pointed his staff in the front and sent a firebolt at the other sinspawn that engaged Grimwulf.

OOC:

Not spending power point and taking -1. +1 from staff makes it a normal roll.

Saldrina has a flash of inspiration. Staring intently past Li, at the dirt ceiling above the creature (green), she mentally shifts the dirt, causing it to collapse on the thing partially.

OOC:

Her goal is less to cause damage and more to distract the creature to allow Li a bonus on his attacks (maybe). If it also takes some damage, then so much the better."

Jan 16, 2025 10:16 am

OOC:

Sounds like a good idea. Roll a Spellcasting roll as a Test vs the creature's Agility. If you succeed to beat the number I rolled you can make him Distracted (-2 to his actions) or Vulnerable (+2 to others actions to affect it). With a raise he's shaken as well, and I'll say he is knocked prone and the hole is covered, forcing him to go round.

Saldrina concentrates, shifting the earth above the creature ever so subtley.

The earth shifts, covering the hole and making the climbing creature fall to the ground. It stands akwardly and rushes up the stairs instead.

By the time it reaches the top steps, the other creature slashes once at Grimwulf. He tries to parry, but it manages to pass his defenses and shakes the halfling. When the claws connect, Grimwulf feels his thoughs becoming blurred. It's as if his battle lust is taking over, more so than usually.

Despite this however, it takes you no time to overpower the last two creatures. Grimwulf's battle rage abates, he looks over at Khel and sees the wizard's head cleaved in two, but just for a mere moment, for one blink of an eye. Looking at his other companions it has similar effect, though not constantly and often just at the edge of his vision.

OOC:

With just two left, I have no doubt you'll finish them quickly. Grimwulf is distracted for the moment, an effect of them shaking him that lasts well beyond being unshaken.

Wess yells, hoping his voice reaches everyone, "That looks like the last of them then. Are there any nooks or crevices we haven't searched down here? Or are we ready to see where those stairs lead?
Turning back his attention to the men in the room with him, he ask; "You two alright?"

Khel nodded at Wess's inquiry and then proceeded to explore the room closely. He wanted to check every portion of the room to avoid any unnecessary surprises.

OOC:

Trying to check the cells to find if there is any loot.

Saldrina smiles, satisfied with their success. The "Heroes of Sandpoint" were proving worthy of the title.

Grim shakes his head, trying to clear the glimpses of cleaved skulls. He strides up to Khel and grabs him by the shoulders, inspecting the head closely. Perfectly fine, and then ... not.

Responding to Wess, "I think the blasted thing did something to me, I'm seeing things that aren't there."

"Hopefully it won't last long, let's carry on."
