[5e] The Tenth Era Of War IC

[Gluteus_Maximus]

The gnome looks back. As he does, his form morphs into a sort of green blob- his hair and skin turn into transparent mucus, and an empty-eyed skull can be seen underneath. It turns to look at Robin and Theren with a half-open jaw. Noticing this creature, those of you outside hear Pete squeal as you realize the seven men outside also turned into one of these creatures.

Pete, panicked, holds his sword with one hand and attempts to swing at one of them; he misses, instead dropping his sword which had gotten stuck in the viscous gloop that is one of these Oblex spawn, who quickly surround and absorb him, a second skull appearing in the largest one. He screams in agony the whole time.

The main man, who approached you earlier, shrinks, smaller and smaller. He eventually becomes a little pinprick of gloop, which, concealed under the slow, shrinks further back into the building, trailing like a lit fuse to the trapdoor underneath. In these chaotic few seconds, you hardly had any time to react to these things. The more experienced guard who previously stood 50 feet away is coming running, but he won't make it in time for you all to leave it to him.

Initiative: They got a surprise round, but you guys go first. Luckily one ran away and the others were "distracted" by Pete's delicious flesh. And memories.

Theren Liadon High Elf Fighter Noble[ Passive Perception:13 AC:16, HP: 9

dashes out of the closed room and draws his bow

[Illven]

Robin stomps her feet on the ground.

And let's out a primal scream more suited to come from a 6 foot 6 half orc, and not the only slightly tall, skinny half elf.

With an animalesque leap, she surged forward in front of Caelyn, pulling one of her hand-axe and hurled it with a powerful throw at one of the beasts

Dain Broadbeam

Dain watches in horror as the guardsman gets devoured, his mouth hanging half-open. The roaring elf snaps him back into action. Moving fast he steps up in front of the Centaur, and following the barbarian, throws a javelin at the closest creature.

[Illven]

As Dain fell to the barrage of attacks, Robin dodged under the thing's lunging bite, whipping out her main battle axe as she rolled under the creature's underside. As the fell beast turned to face her, she tried to swing the axe into the creature's face with a war snarl.

[Illven]

Robin ducks under one of the fell beast as it tries to bite her, but the other two use the distraction and one snaps for her left leg, as the other bites on her shield arm.

The fangs and jaw she can mostly ignore she survived worse as a child, it's the assault on her mind that stings worse of all.

Shaking her head, as she cups it with her axe hand, she snarls defiantly as she lunges at the injured oblex her axe flashing in the light as she tries to bring it down on the creature's head.

Dain Broadbeam

The world exploded in pain. The last thing he could remember was the weird, horrible creature surging towards him, then it all went black. Now he was lying with his face buried in the snow, the sound of fighting filling his ears. Looking up he saw Robin fending them off his prone form. He scrambled to his feet next to her inelegantly, his greataxe in a defensive posture.
