Re: The Complex of Doom (IC) Thread 2

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC) Thread 2
Kricen grimaced. The thing had the potential to get away. "Look at those weapons. Better for us than rusting in the swamp. It wants food? I'll give it food that will be its death." The necromancer steps forward and begins casting a spell. The zombie lumbers towards the water to attract attacks away from the living allies.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC) Thread 2
Round 4, Part 1
Matai blocks one of the incoming attacks for Shim (8 damage removed!), the handaxe clanging as the flexible tentacle rebounds from the blocked blow. Matai then steps forward with a powerful overhand blow, hitting the Darktentacles (hit for 17).
Shim steps forward with a swing that barely misses. Torlak takes a 5’ step northwest.
Kricen steps forward, beginning to cast a spell, as the zombie babau approaches, coming up on Matai’s right side. The babau takes a glancing blow from a guisarme.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC) Thread 2
Round 5, Part 1
Matai steps into the water, his boots squishing in the mud. With all the action, the water is turbulent and impossible to see through; he tries to chop off a tentacle, but misses.
Shim has better luck, slashing the at the creature and drawing a hooting howl of pain from it (hit for 21). He’s joined by the zombie, which also strikes a blow (hit for 11).
Torlak steps up and breathes a cone of hindering magic at the creature, causing its motions to slow down substantially. The Darktentacles is also assailed by a small swarm of bats biting at it (3 damage).
Spoiler
5’ step to get into range.
Slow for 2 rounds, Fort DC 18 reduces to 1 round.

Round 5, Part 2
The tentacles wave distractingly in the air as magic pulses around the creature. Successfully staving off any attempt to interrupt it, a ten foot high Wall of Force appears in front of the group, stretching from the ledge along the cavern wall all the way across the pond.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC) Thread 2
Kricen was impressed with the new surprise from the battered beast. "Impressive, but that just means it dies a slower death. The wall should only last a minute or two." The necromancer keeps his concentration on the swam of bats, who continue to nip away at the beast whose flailing tentacles aren't enough to affect the swarm. The zombie bashes at the wall with no effect.

Re: The Complex of Doom (IC) Thread 2
Kricen lowers his voice some, just enough for the party to hear. "The bats last as long as I keep them around. Unless that thing can heal itself it will eventually bleed out from all those bites. The wall is only 10' tall, someone could shoot from atop Matai's shoulders."
Kricen keeps his main focus on the spell. The zombie continues to uselessly assault the wall.
