Action Thread 11

[saalaria]

Varkos wearily deposits his pack on the floor and then drops to sleep instantly, the days action having taken its toil of him. He doesn't snore, in fact in seems just like a log...

Day 2 – 12:00 p


.

Odo surprises everyone with his return. More surprising as he is without Rake.

The ranger questions the Halfling as to his whereabouts.

Everyone settles in for a rest, Varkos rather heavily. With the fish masher continuing its duty down the stream, it is otherwise quiet.

The cleric and druid talk about spells to pray for.

It’s all quiet until just about the 5th hour. Just as the casters have finished their spell preparations (all spells are good to go) that’s when the ears of the ranger prick up. He quiets everyone so that they can hear the squeak of rats at the masher. But before anyone gets a real good listen, the rats squeaks get higher pitched as if they are fighting each other!

I’ll post a quick overview map for you all. Actions?

[Zhym]

"Masher?" Is this something the party encountered before I took over Wulfgard?

Wulfgard quickly heals Varkos...

Cure Light Wounds: [1d8] = 2

...twice, if he has time.

Cure Light Wounds: [1d8] = 7

"Masher?" Is this something the party encountered before I took over Wulfgard?

It's a fish mincer. Or something like that. Our diminutive druid did a speak with animals spell and chatted with the rats; that's how we know what's there. I don't know if any of us has actually ever seen it...

[rredmond]

I believe some of the group came up to it. Even so, you did walk by it to your current location so a rehash. At this point the river’s flow turns a small wooden waterwheel. The wheel is attached by a couple of direction-changing gears to a large wooden box at the river’s edge. At the top of the box, there is a funnel, and at the bottom there is a spout positioned to allow a container to be placed underneath. A clicking and creaking noise comes from inside the box. I think the rats told you what it does. Remnants of fish guts out of the bottom also explain the tale. Fish go in the top, mush comes out of the bottom.

[Distorted Humor]

Odo hears the rats, and takes out his sword "Shall I take the lead and investigate? "

[saalaria]

"Thanks friend Wulfgard, I was sore in need of that." VArkos rubs his aching limbs but does feel a new vitality flow through him.

Ron I'm taking the two CLWs - let me know if incorrect

[rredmond]

Ron I'm taking the two CLWs - let me know if incorrect

Oh yeah for sure.
I'll update in next action post.

[tkrexx]

Have a care, the Ranger advises. I'll follow, but as of now I won't be much use save for backup.

[Distorted Humor]

Odo goes to hide in shadows, and move ahead to see whats going on at the noise.....being discreet so he can run back to report back.

[Alethan]

Ilhalevar picks up her rope-like staff and shoulders her pack, ready to follow Odo.

[Argennian]

As soon as the alert goes out, Zafalia moves over and casts her first cure lights wounds spell on Son of Thunder...

Cure Light Wounds spell [1d8] = 5

She then grabs up her spear and shield and joins the others at the entrance.

Odo hears the rats, and takes out his sword "Shall I take the lead and investigate?"

Zaf nods and whispers. "I'll go with you, Odo. I have a speak with animals spell ready and would like an update from those rats!"

The diminutive halfling druidess will fall in behind her thiefly kin-cousin and creep up to see what's what at the fish-mincer.


OOC: new spell roster updated, Ron. (Same 4 1st lvl spells and 3 CLW for her 2nd lvl ones.)

Marking off 1st CLW from roster.

[saalaria]

Varkos let's the two scouts get a ways ahead before leading the team out.

[Nuke66]

Al'Zur follows Odo, "Be wary my friend."

Day 2 – 12:01 p


.

As folks cast their curative spells (2 from Wulfgar and 1 from Zafalia) and Odo preps to go out, the noise gets louder. For once there is a battle going on, and you all aren't the center of it! The halfling sticks his head out of the entranceway, attempting to remain in the shadows.

PM headed out to Odo

As Odo heads out into the hallway, it is at this point that Ilhalevar's staff snaps to rigidness.

[Alethan]

Ilhalevar jumps as her quarterstaff indicates it is ready for a fight and mumbles, "that's never going to stop surprising me, I'm pretty sure..."

[Distorted Humor]

[1d6] = 5


Odo shouts back to his comrades over the din of the mincer.

"Centipede attacking the rats."

as Odo tries to leap to darkness....

[saalaria]

Varkos moves up to help the druidess/rats

If he can get an attack in on the centipede he tries:

Longsword [1d20+3] = 4+3 = 7 Dam [1d8+5] = 5+5 = 10

[Nuke66]

Al'Zur tries to sneak around the centipede while it is engaged. He will look for an opportunity to sneak in an attack.

[1d20+5] = 15+5 = 20 backstab
[1d12] = 11 damage vs Large

[tkrexx]

If there is room, the Ranger will also send his spear lancing toward the awful bug.

To hit: [1d20+2] = 3+2 = 5, damage with WS spear, sm-med: [1d6+3] = 1+3 = 4

I hope there's not enough room.
