Abrax gets into place for help Marius. He gives a straight right jab to the central mass of the professor's remaining face for 3 mod. His follow up spinning hook kick misses.

The professor seems to jerk oddly and falls down before disappearing into a wad of dust. Behind him ... where Marius would have gone to ... is Wren, holding a kitchen knife.

Surprise Round ...

S19: Something darts in from the west to strike Wren in the chest for 4!

S8: Just a hair's breadth later, the same thing happens as Abrax gets bit in the right shoulder for 3. Immediately after that strike, Abrax begins to feel sluggish and with dulled reactions.

Spoiler: Sluggish

Show

Sluggish: A character rendered sluggish by Dexterity poison has dulled reactions. He takes a –2 penalty on Reflex saves and all Dexterity-based attack rolls, ability checks, and skill checks, as well as to AC. (Sheet updated.)

Round One ...

R1T21: Wren calls out, slurring his words a little, "I am poisoned! Giant centipede! Paralytic!"

He is visibly more sluggish and stiff, but manages to get up on the steps away from the centipede, behind Hargrimm. He immediately attempts anti-venom field medicine on himself.

R1T19: The giant centipede that attacked gives chase to its poisoned prey, biting Wren in his lower left arm for 1 NL.

R1T13: Abrax, you continue to suffer as your joints and limbs are now stiff.

Spoiler: Stiffened

Show

* Stiffened: A character stiffened by Dexterity poison feels numb and stiff. He is considered flat-footed and is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, even if he has uncanny dodge. He can’t make attacks of opportunity.

There is a giant centipede looking right at you that hasn't recovered from its charge. What do you do?

**lostsole31** · 2021-11-17, 12:20 AM (ISO 8601)

R1T13: Abrax strikes out hard and (not very) fast at the creature that poisoned him, hoping to occupy it before it can get anyone else. He tries to smash the thing with an elbow but misses and pulls his elbow up short in fear of smashing his humerus. The problem is that his head kept going and slams into the dais he stands next to. His ears are now ringing. Abrax doesn't take the time to worry and lifts up and smashes down with his foot - what you should do with a bug in the first place - as his foot hits for 5 and he turns his foot at impact to rip open the chitin more.

**lostsole31** · 2021-11-17, 04:16 AM (ISO 8601)

R1T9: Othello draws his waraxe, goes to step away from the creature closest to him before realizing Abrax is right there, and lets forth with a battle cry so inspiring that the others feel a boost in their confidence and focus.

R1T8: The centipede Abrax stomped takes 3 bleed, but is no longer overextended from its charge. It bites Abrax in his right shoulder again for 4 and the compounding of the poison continues to overwhelm Abrax as he is now staggered

Spoiler: Staggered (Poison definition)

Show

Staggered: A character staggered by Dexterity poison is so slowed and stiffened that he gains all the effects of the staggered condition (except that he can take a full-round action if it is purely mental).

R1T5: Light travels up Hargrimm's and forms a spiral horn on his forehead. He quickly uses it to add more oomph to a headbutt aimed at the centipede to the west, but misses.

The acolyte screams in terror, too paralyzed to move.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T21: Wren nods stiffly and sluggishly, but with a sheepish smile. "I'm good now. Still poisoned, but I stopped the progress."

With his dagger he stabs at his enemy from high ground, slicing a surgical line up the creature's underside for 10 and dropping it.

R2T13: Abrax, roll a Fort save vs. poison. What do you do this round as you are currently sluggish, stiffened & staggered (see above)?

R2T13: Abrax, feeling the poison from the centipede take deeper hold, musters his monastic training and holds any further progression. He then puts all his strength into a single blow. Forming his hands into a double fist, he raises them above his head and brings them both down like a hammer onto the giant bug's head to splat it!.

He manages to squawk out, "If I fall, I am poisoned."

The numerous lanterns that light the hall suddenly explode into bursts of burning oil that douses the surrounding walls, lighting the room on fire and causing the townsfolk to truly panic. Othello sensed something off and managed to not get burned by the lantern in the corner right by him! Razvan, over in the other corner, wasn't so lucky and took 6 fire!

At the far end of the hall, the lantern that exploded right behind Councilors Hearthmount and Muricar are dropped instantly. They are likely in critical condition! Elsewhere in the packed Town Hall, another two townies have dropped!

R1T21: Turning to the nearby party members, Marius says, "We've got to heal the fallen and evacuate." At that, the young medical student drinks an extract of ant haul and rushes north toward the injured council members, doing his best to jump through or over the fire to reach them more quickly. Unfortunately, his jump made him stop shorter than he had hoped, but at least his jump impressively cleared the flames.

R1T20: In a loud, diplomatically authoritative voice, Othello shouts, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please calmly make your way to the exit! Razvan, extinguish that fire!"

Unfortunately, he had to focus and get good breaths in to be heard, so it took him all of his focus to do that. That said, Othello's voice was clear as a bell, and hopefully it will help.

R1T11: Razvan calmly eyes the fire next to him, "Pharasma, grant me the power to quench these flames and see your devoted to safety."

Grasping his holy symbol, Razvan casts a spell to pour water into the open air and onto the fire. Nothing happens! The spell goes through and is completed, but no water surges forth.

End of Round One: The townsfolk, inspired to orderly safety by Othello, begin moving out of the Town Hall via the center.

Begin Round Two: The fires begin to grow! Screams are heard as the fire begins to grow, and Othello's impact on the crowd might not hold this round! A man to the center-east catches fire as his area begins to burn!

R2T21: Marius moves toward the two fallen councilmembers and states to those nearby, "I'm a doctor: let me stabilize them so you can evacuate them." At that, he pulls out an extract of cure light wounds and administers it to Councilman Hearthmount, who is alive and conscious, but prone.

R2T20: Seeing that Kendra has crossed to the downed citizen, Othello moves west and speaks again, using the same authoritative voice as before... "Well done, Ladies and Gentleman! Please calmly continue towards the exit in an orderly manner!"

R2T16: Sheriff Caeller hops up onto the pew, and then onto the next one north of that. He doesn't try to over yell Othello's brilliant directions, but speaks soothing words and uses guiding hands to assist Othello.

R2T11: Razvan chants once more, "Lady of the Graves, please grant the moisture necessary to save a fellow parishioner."

He then intones a spell and makes the necessary gestures, but again create water doesn't work, so he calls out, say "Move that person away from the flames and put them out!"

He then moves to a better position to help others escape, but in doing so he has to hop over/on the pew in front of him like the Sheriff did. He now stands on the back pew.

End Round 2: The townsfolk, again given great calm by way of Othello's direction, continue to file out in an orderly fashion as best as possible. The one that Kendra was helping is able to put out the flames on themselves and step out of the burning area, though in their pain and panic they do cause a bit of disruption in the line. Councilors help each other from being prone and move away from flames.

As if dealing with a burning building wasn't enough, the windows along the north wall shater as a pair of flying, flaming human skulls shriek into the chamber!

Begin Round 3: The fires continue to spread. Now, smoke is beginning to form lightly.

R3T21: Marius, you are now partially surrounded by fire, the councilors aren't right next to the fire, the people on the northern end are still waiting to even move, and now there are two flaming, shrieking skulls! What do you do?

R3T21: Marius smiles as Zauberei's healing magic hopefully revives the others far faster than he could on his own. That smile immediately fades when the burning skulls burst in, however, and he calls out, "Paula, get out and go alert Mr. Evans!"

Finding himself relatively unarmed once again, Marius sizes up these new threats and plays for time by shifting five feet toward the one nearest him and taking a defensive posture, hoping to hinder it from moving further in and harming the evacuees.

R3T20.5: Paula leaps from Marius' jacket on the now blasted open window, and scuttles down and out of sight.

R3T20: Othello moves in towards the central aisle away from the flames and continues speaking calmly and encouraging people to exit the building. Unfortunately, his focus on his own movement is not enough to keep people from a more panicked exit at this time.

It takes a FRA to use Diplomacy to get people in this situation to be more guided and efficient, and you were focused on movement.

R3T16: Sheriff Caeller, no longer hearing Othello's voice calls out, "Somebody cajole or threaten these folk outta' here!"

He then hops to the next pew northwards while pulling out his strange contraption. There is a terrific roar and a belch of fire and smoke from his sidearm, and the flaming skull due north of him at the end of the Town Hall gets struck for 6 (the same one Marius is next to). The sheriff speed loads his pistol.

The fire will spread rapidly and we need to get out so we can bring the proper tools to put out the fire. Shovels of dirt and buckets of water are what we need. Make sure the fire doesn't spread to other buildings, so please hurry, in the safest possible way!

R3T11: Razvan calmly steps forward near the sheriff and with a flick of the wrist his pistol appears in his hand. Then he let's off two a shot at the same flaming skull the sheriff shot at, and it disappears in a puff of smoke and flame. He says a quick command word, and powder and shot flies from his bandolier into his gun, and then he shoots at the other flaming skull. Despite the distance, standing on the pew helps him as he is cleared of any cover from the townsfolk, and the second shot reports and the other flaming skull bursts into nothingness.

End Round 3: The townsfolk, calmly transferred to Zauberei's leadership, continue to exit Town Hall in surprisingly orderly fashion.

Begin Round 4: The fire continues to grow. In doing so, Marius takes 4 fire and Razvan takes 1 fire for the fires growing into their areas. Though burned, they both are able to keep from catching fire, but need to move!

If he is able, once Marius is outside, he turns back toward the window and offers a hand to help anybody else inside in that corner that is increasingly trapped by flames. Calling out to them, he says, "If the flames are too high to get past, grab hold of me here!"

R4T20: Othello, what do you do? You heard Marius' words, but you don't see him. The only ally you see is Hargrimm, and an aisle full of townsfolk coughing, hoping to get out, and Zauberei's control over them possibly breaking down.

R4T20: Seeing that all the injured seem to have been cared for, Othello once again resumes his encouraging of people to calmly evacuate. "Well done, friends! Let's keep quickly moving in an orderly fashion! Once outside, organize water to be brought so we can try to save the hall!"

R4T16: Hearing Othello not do as well as he could, coughing some, he adds to Othello's exhortations. The Sheriff is not much of a people person at all, but the little bit he does is enough to help Othello possibly achieve a measure of success.

R4T15: Zauberei, roll a Fort save. What do you do?

R4T15: Zauberei moves 15, to the south, squeezing and jostling along with townsfolk when he suddenly stops. He has an idea he thinks which may or may not help ....

R4T14: Hargrimm takes a deep breath in preparation for the smoke he expects to create, but he breaths from the air pocket at the top of his bag so he has a good breath despite the smoke.. Then he dumps his half filled pack onto the fire due east of himself. Unfortunately, he isn't trained on how to apply water to a fire for maximum effect, so he simply upturns the backpack. There's a lot of hissing steam and guttering smoke, but it fails as a fire-fighting effort.

R4T13: Kendra just pushes through the crowd as best she can, heading south.

R4T11: Razvan, what do you do? Roll a Fort save (smoke inhalation).

R4T11: Razvan tries to ask about others, but he knows to move out of the fire first. He steps a few feet out of the fire while still standing on the pew to see several townsfolk facing south in a line. "How are we doing? Is the building clear?" Razvan asks. *cough* cough*

He then aids Othello and the Sheriff in trying to get people out in an orderly fashion.

End Round 4: The mass exodus continues, townsfolk in a mental panic and coughing, but being guided to more efficiency through the combined efforts of Othello, Zauberei, and Razvan.

Begin Round 5: The fire ... continues to grow. And this time, it is so hot, and this time ... Othello (5 fire), Hargrimm (5 fire), Marius (8 fire), and Razvan (2 fire) get caught by the fire!

Othello, Hargrimm, Marius, and Razvan, roll Ref saves to not catch fire!

Of the three standing in fire, Marius almost catches, but quickly eyes a pitcher of water and tosses it on himself. Othello, however, isn't so lucky as he catches fire!

R5T21: Marius, your readied action to aid someone that wanted to get launched out of the window didn't happen. You are completely surrounded and in the fire, and the only safe way is for you to jump out the window at this point. What do you do?

R5T21: With no one taking up his offer of assistance out the window, Marius ceases dawdling and jumps out the window himself. Once he is back on his feet outside, he backs away from the burning building to both better consider next steps in the relief effort and to breathe in some cleaner air.

R5T20: Othello's heavy equipment helps him, as he only takes 1 fire from burning. Othello, doing the best he can to resist the urge to panic, tumbles awkwardly over the pew in front of him - the only spot nearby that isn't occupied by people or fire - and recalling his time in dwarven elementary school, stops, drops, and rolls hoping to extinguish the flames.

"Ooh! Hot! Hot! Hot! Oh way oh way!"

He is successful, but now he is prone. This is NOT the best place to be with this much fire. That said, the air quality down low is marginally better than at dwarven head-height.

R5T16: Sheriff Caeller isn't a great people person, so instead of doing Othello's tactice of nice-and-orderly, he shouts at the remaining councilors and townsfolk to get the hell out of the building. He doesn't do a good job. Not only is he feeling the effects of smoke inhalation, but fire of this magnitude is LOUD!

R5T15: Zauberei, what do you do?
