The Long Route, Day 8

Combat, Round 3

Image


Beetle Initiative:

[1d10] = 3, [1d10] = 9, [1d10] = 4, [1d10] = 9

[1d10] = 2, [1d10] = 9, [1d10] = 6

Frekken shifts to his left for a clear shot at beetle #2, hitting for 7 points of damage and severely wounding the beetle!

Firing into melee is a risky proposition. The rule is mute since you hit well beyond the 14 required. Please consider the house rules for firing into melee (updated to reflect the rule used in my Face to Face games) in the future.

Jack strikes beetle #1 dead with 4 points of damage, splattering yellow goo onto the ground!

Luke rushes to attack beetle #1, but changes to beetle #2 after seeing Jack slay the insect. The interruption to his charge, causes him to miss.

Frank slices beetle #5 for an additional 5 points of damage, killing the vermin and adding more yellow stains to the battlefield!

Initiative:
[1d10] = 9

Frank, long sword = [1d20+2] = 16+2 = 18, [1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5 dmg.

Beetle #8 continues attacking Bart, striking with a pincer for 3 points of damage.

Beetle #8 attack = [1d20] = 9, [1d20] = 19
Beetle #8 dmg. = [1d4] = 3

Beetle#2 responds to Luke’s aggression by spraying a rancid mist from its rear abdomen.

Luke, Bart and Jack must save vs. poison against the wretched spray! Roll 1d20.

Bart misses while reeling from the vapor of the beetle's spray!

Oor-zak’s swings at beetle#4, but misses.

Blixx switches weapons, but misses in his haste.

Beetle #4 attacks Oor-zak snapping with both pincers for 6 total points of damage!

Beetle #4 attack = [1d20] = 13, [1d20] = 14

Beetle #4 dmg. = [1d4] = 3, [1d4] = 3

Beetle #6 advances towards Blixx for an attack that cannot connect.

Beetle #6 attack = [1d20] = 12, [1d20] = 9

Initiative and action for Round 4.
Beetles 1, 3, 5 & 7 are dead.
Beetles 2 & 4 are severely wounded.
Beetles 6 & 8 have not been hit.

Blixx MH



Initiative [1d10+1] = 1+1 = 2

To Hit [1d20] = 14

WrenchMace[1d6] = 5

Blixx draws back with both hands tightly around the haft of his wrench and brings it down onto the chitinous shell of the monstrous beatle!

Frekken Ribbitowicz, MA Frog

Seeing Blixx miss against the 6th Beetle, Frekken slings the bow over his shoulder and charges over to the mothman's side. Rubbing his fists together, he works up a secretion of poison and smacks the beetle with his gooey fists...

Frank Rock, Veteran Human


Frank will glance around to see the battle in its entirety and will then rush over towards Oor-zak to help him battle the Beetle assaulting his person...


OOC: If I can rush over and attack in the same round, attack Beetle number 4 with longsword; if not, just try to get close enough to do so next round

The Long Route, Day 8

Combat, Round 4

Image


Beetle Initiative:

[1d10] = 10, [1d10] = 4, [1d10] = 2, [1d10] = 7

Luke winces at the beetle’s putrid mist. Failings his save, he begins to vomit and backs out of the melee.

Frekken races forward to meet beetle #6, just reaching the target and attacking with his dermal slime.

Beetle#2 attacks Luke as he reels back from the toxic vapor, hitting with one of its pincers for 1 point of damage.

Beetle #2 = [1d20] = 1, [1d20] = 20
Beetle #4 = [1d4] = 1 dmg.

Oor-zak’s swings at beetle#4, but misses when he notices the insect is dead!

Beetle #4 fails both saves against Oor-zak’s dermal slime, taking 18 points of damage.

Beetle #4 should have died last round, so Oor-zak gets 6 hit points back.

Beetle #4 saves = [1d20] = 3, [1d20] = 3
Oor-zak dermal poison = [2d6] = 6, [2d6] = 12

Jack moves to strikes beetle #2, but fails to hit a vital spot.

Jack made his save vs. the toxic mist

Jack save = [1d20] = 19

Bart deflects the vapor blast with his shield, and strikes beetle #8 for 3 points of damage.

Beetle #8 counterattacks Bart, but fails to breach his defenses!

Beetle #8 = [1d20] = 2, [1d20] = 8

Blixx hits home against beetle #6 with his mace for 5 points of damage, splattering its innards across the dirt!

Frank rushes to help Bart, attacking beetle #8 and slicing it in half for 8 points of damage. Dead!

Frank Initiative = [1d10] = 1

Frank, long sword = [1d20+2] = 12+2 = 14, [1d8+2] = 6+2 = 8 dmg.

Beetle #6 reacts to Frekken’s dermal slime, taking 8 points of damage and now lies dead!

Beetle #6 save = [1d20] = 19
Slime damage = [7d6] = 16

Actions?

End of Round 4, all opponents appear to be dead.

Blixx MH


Blixx looks disdainfully at the colorful goop on his mace(wrench) and wipes it off with tufts of grass. He will then help Jack find any missing bolts. "I wonder if those things had a nest nearby?" Blixx remarks

Frekken Ribbitowicz, MA Frog

Frekken shakes some remaining slime residue from his webbed hands, and slathers what's left on five of his arrows' tips. "Nest? Uhh, I hope not..."

He then goes searching for Jack's lost bolts, and when he reaches the grass he inspects the path from which the beetles arrived. Would one be able to follow them?

Oor-Zak, MA gorilla

Oor-Zak sniffs one of the dead beetles then snuffs through his nose sharply, deciding that these beetles would not be good eating.

"Big bugs not smell like good food. Oor-zak no eat."

He'll then spend some time helping look for lost bolts.

Cthul Hand Luke

Luke wretches, calms, breathes in fresh air.

He wonders if the bugs have poison sacs of the noxious mist that could be harvested for offensive use. He flips over a dead bug to see if there are any obvious signs.

The Long Route, Day 8

It takes Luke around 3 minutes before the effects of the bug spray wears off. Once he gets his senses back, he begins to examine one of the bugs for an orifice that could spray the toxic mist. A sphincter at the rear of the bug seems to be the best candidate for a spray gland.

Jack, Blixx, Frekken and Oor-zak search the deep grass for Jack’s stray crossbow bolts. I takes over 5 minutes to find the bolts, and during the search Frekken notices paths left by the bugs in the under grass. They are vivid enough to follow.

Actions?

Frekken Ribbitowicz, MA Frog

Frekken hops back to the others. "Hm. That was a lot of bugs--you don't s'pose it was alla them?" he muses. "If y'all think there's anything of value to be had in looting a nest, we can trace their buggy footprints easily. As for me...I say we go about our business!"

Frank Rock, veteran Human


Frank wipes off the bug guts from his sword while wandering over to Luke. "You alright there? Looks like you lost most of your breakfast...and lunch and dinner too"; he says with a good-natured grin. Hearing the conversation about where to go from here, Frank shrugs and says; "Well, I think we should march around; but if the majority wants to go on a bug-hunt; I'm game."

Bart, MH

"Wouldn't hurt to look... That is, if we don't all get sprayed, and are devoured, as we're too busy retching."
Bart cuts a hunk of meat off one of the stink beetles.
"They don't seem the type to have any thing useful to us, well, maybe there meat."
He tries a small piece.
