Dorvar

Wake up: [1d6] = 6

Dorvar hears screaming, and wakes up, but is slow to clear his head as he looks around in confusion at the giant bugs attacking the party.

[Dram]

Baxtaw- Wakes up grabs her long sword and attacks one of the giants flies

L. Sword attk
+1 L. Sword tohit[1d20+2] = 19+2 = 21, Todam sm[1d8+2] = 1+2 = 3, lg[1d12+2] = 7+2 = 9


1d6 roll

[Keehnelf]

The Flies - Round One:

Enemy Initiative [1d6] = 6
Party Initiative [1d6] = 6

Uh oh, bad start there, since movement happens before missile fire.

Fly target 1-3 Mustard, 4-5 Varas, 6 Carry Off Prey [1d6] = 1
Fly target 1-3 Mustard, 4-5 Varas, 6 Carry Off Prey [1d6] = 1
Fly target 1-3 Mustard, 4-5 Varas, 6 Carry Off Prey [1d6] = 3
Fly target 1-3 Mustard, 4-5 Varas, 6 Carry Off Prey [1d6] = 5

The flies that laid the mighty Olympia low lift off her body and join the pair of stunned flies that begin to rise and hover around the horse, except one that breaks off to attack Varas as he readies his weapon. Its proximity interferes with his ability to fire the bow.

Mustard is overcome by the blood and swarming insects and bolts off to the northeast, away from the swarm of flies. As she attempts to move away, the hideous things around her descend, latching on to her and dragging her screaming body to the ground. She is either unconscious or dead, but either way she is out of the battle. (13 damage taken)

Fly vs Mustard from behind [1d20+2] = 15+2 = 17, damage [1d8] = 5
Fly vs Mustard from behind [1d20+2] = 7+2 = 9, damage [1d8] = 3
Fly vs Mustard from behind [1d20+2] = 16+2 = 18, damage [1d8] = 8

Nihilius, roused from his sleep, manages to incant a spell of sleep targeting the insects, and two of them fall to the ground--one of the ones swarming on Mustard and the one in front of Varas.

Baxtaw, up and eager for blood, targets one of the things still in the air with his magical sword, landing a slice on the thing but unable to cleave it completely apart, though he sorely injures it.

Fly 1: 16 HP, asleep
Fly 2: 11 HP
Fly 3: 1 HP
Fly 4: 9 HP
Fly 5: 9 HP
Fly 6: 4 HP, asleep

Actions and Initiative!

Each person wakes on a 1-5 this round as well due to the horse's screaming.

[Zhym]

Harold tries to sling a stone at one of the flies, but the shot isn't even close.

Sling (THAC0 20): [1d20] = 3, Dmg: [1d4] = 1
Initiative: [1d6] = 6

At least the initiative roll was good.

[Marullus]

Lighting a torch off the campfire, Nihilius rushes towards Mustard, attempting to drive the flies away from him with fear of fire, yelling at them, and to summon others to help.

Torch at the flies [1d20-2] = 8-2 = 6; Fire damage [1d4] = 2

[AleBelly]

Damn it! Varas' one good bow shot and he didn't get to use it...

"Mustard! No!" wails Varas as he draws his sword. He attacks the fly closest to him.

Long sword attack (THAC0 19) [1d20] = 8, damage [1d8] = 5

[Enoch]

Wake Up: [1d6] = 2

Struggling out from under his bedsheets, Halfred scrambles for his sword and unsheathes it with shaky hands, swinging wildly at the nearest insect.

Short Sword: [1d20+1] = 16+1 = 17, damage [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5, initiative [1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6

[MonkeyWrench]

Wake Up: [1d6] = 2

Valorei, able to shed the grip of sleep from his mind now, springs from his bedroll, drawing his sword. His mind is filled with thoughts of protecting his companions from such disgusting, yet thoroughly interesting, creatures and avenging his truest friend Olympia.

Initiative: [1d6] = 3
Elven Long Sword: [1d20+3] = 8+3 = 11, Damage: [1d8+3] = 5+3 = 8

[Zhym]

The initiative of 6 wasn't good enough for you?

[Keehnelf]

I laughed to myself about that.

[MonkeyWrench]

Lol, whoops. I could have sworn I didn't see anyone roll Init...

My bad! I suggest we take the first roll.

[Keehnelf]

Suggestion rejected per pre-existing rules about initiative

[Scott308]

Dorvar

Dorvar sees what is going on and shakes the last of the sleep from his system, charging in with his axe.

Dorvar Battle-Axe +1 Attack: [1d20+4] = 4+4 = 8; Damage: [1d8+4] = 8+4 = 12

[Mister-Kent]

Olympia's ghost face-palms

[Dram]

Baxtaw goes after the next fly in range of his Sword.

+1 L Sword Atk
+1 L. Sword tohit[1d20+2] = 4+2 = 6, Todam sm[1d8+2] = 7+2 = 9, lg[1d12+2] = 10+2 = 12

[Keehnelf]

Round Two:

The chaos continues, but thankfully the party has begun to get mobilized after the swarm has already taken down two members of the party.

Enemy Initiative [1d6] = 3

Wendall, having woken groggily from his deep sleep with a scowl, now seems poised to turn the fight around. He intones the words of power that hopefully will bring the party's rout to an end, bringing a cloud of foul-smelling vapors to surround the swarming flies.

Wendall sleep [2d8] = 10

All of the flies fall to the ground with soft thumps, leaving them easy prey for the party, who dispatch the lot with their blades as Niles stands over them with flaming torch in hand, wondering at such unusual creatures.

[MonkeyWrench]

Stabbing one with his sword Valorei starts to drag it away to the side, marking it to not be burned as Niles the obvious pyromaniac looks to them with his fiery eyes. "I would wish to study this creature, once he put our dear friend to rest..." He looks towards the downed horse, "Perhaps they did not kill the beast? Small blessings, let us check once they are all thoroughly killed." His face is somber and his voice heavy at the loss of his friend.

[Dram]

Baxtaw- Will assist on finishing off the sleeping flies. He will then help tend to any wounded. So what do we do Now? We have lost another friend and the horse.

[Keehnelf]

Mustard appears to still be breathing, though it is unconscious and in very rough shape.

[MonkeyWrench]

Valorei leans down next to the horse, patting it affectionately and speaking in a calm voice to help the animal wake and not freak out. He turns half a shoulder to the group, "I would not lose another member of my group this day, Can any healing be done yet for the poor beast?"
