Chapter 27 - Let's go smell the flowers

[spanningtree]

Dieter - Mage

Dieter tells the hulk and axe beaks to dismember the thing on the bridge and then hits it with a lightning bolt to make sure they know where they are going,


Lightning Bolt [10d6] = 28

[Zhym]

Ulster wonders what would happen if a gargantuan frog is beset by insects. Would they be a bother, or just food? There's one sure way to find out:

Cast Insect Swarm (assuming his previous swarm is gone).

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim decides it's time for fighting and charges the creature with shield and spear. Spear +3 [1d20+3] = 8+3 = 11 To Hit [1d6+3] = 5+3 = 8 Dmg

[merias]

It's about time! Dandy says, throwing Whelm at the creature.

Whelm throw [1d20+6] = 14+6 = 20 damage [1d6+5] = 4+5 = 9

[Craigers07]

Furuk-Fighter

Furuk raises his arm and fires at the frog.

Laser Pistol [1d20+4] = 18+4 = 22 Damage [2d10+2] = 10+2 = 12

Grimes - Crazy-Cool Halfling

Grimes sees Furuk use his laser pistol and says "Ah, that's an idea!" And he'll grab his needler pistol and bust a cap on the frog thingamabob....

EDIT: Time to pop caps! Grimes shoots, BADLY.
[1d20+2] = 3+2 = 5

[Craigers07]

What was the damage on one of those?

OOC: It's 2d10 my friend.

Thanks. As Goldmember once said "Now the shoosting begins!"

Froghemoth round 2

Initiative players [1d6] = 4, baddies [1d6] = 5

The froghemoth goes first Froghemoth attack [1d20] = 18 dmg [5d10] = 30 pulling the treant that Ulster animated into its maw and making kindling of it with a single bite!

Castinus peppers the beat. A bolt from the blue is cast from Dieter's hand save vs spells (7) [1d20] = 9 and the beast side-hops it, lessening the damage and it seems to shake off the lightning bolt quicker than expected. The umber hulk attacks its bodymonster attack [1d20] = 16[/url [url=http://www.unseenservant.com/default.asp?do=showone&id=154094&macid=1954]monster attack [1d20] = 10 monster attack [1d20] = 18 dmg [3d4] = 7, [2d5] = 9 and axe beaks the tentacles monster attack [1d20] = 9, [1d20] = 7, [1d20] = 6 monster attack [1d20] = 18, [1d20] = 15, [1d20] = 15
dmg [1d3] = 2. Ulster's insect swarm moves in to attack the creature, quickly becoming lunch. Algrim charges but his spear doesn't hit its mark. Whelm slams into the creature and returns to Dandy's hand. Furuk's laser finds its mark. Grimes fires a sheaf of needles which fly wide.

The froghemoth looks mad. Kermit laughs at your puny attacks!

Dieter - Mage


Stay back folks... Dieter casts Evard's Black Tentacles underneath the froggy.

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim heeds Dieter's warning and backs off from the strange creature.

[merias]

Dandy backs away but will prepare plane shift in case things go south.

[badams30]

Grimes - Fighter

With a determined look, Grimes attempts to channel his inner Dirty Harry, and takes another shot at the thing with his needler pistol, with predictable results...

YOINK, WHIZ! MISS! [1d20+2] = 5+2 = 7

[spanningtree]

OCC: Hey guys, not trying to keep you out of melee. Dieter is trying to immobilize the critter.

ooc: noted but I don't want to get caught in the tentacles once they grab the thing I'll get back into melee.

[Craigers07]

Furuk-Fighter

Furuk takes a few steps back and fires another shot at Kermit's open mouth!

Laser Pistol [1d20+4] = 14+4 = 18 Damage [2d10+2] = 2+2 = 4

Kermit/b] sticks its tongue out at (who is in melee Umber hulk, axebeak, axebeak, Algrim which? [1d4] = 4) Algrim Froghemoth attack [1d20] = 13, dmg [5d10] = 36 pulling the dwarf into its mighty jaws and chomping. Algrim is trapped in the froggy maw.

Algrim cannot retreat this round (Save vs Paralyzation to break free).
At Dieter's command, how many [1d4+11] = 3+11 = 14 black tentacles rise from the ground, bridge, and pond. They each begin grabbing at whoever is there (Kermit, umber, axebeak, axebeak), but not Algrim as he is being chomped at the moment.

Dandy backs away. Ulster's robe begins scintillating.
Grimes shoots poorly.
Furuk shoots well.

Kermit is held by black tentacles, as is the umber hulk. Algrim is in the froghemoth's maw.

wow, that was a PITA to adjudicate.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes tosses his pistol to the ground and charges with Wave, shouting as he advances: "I've had enough a' you!" And he lunges at the thing with Wave.

[1d20+5] = 19+5 = 24

[1d10+5] = 2+5 = 7

OOC: I was hoping Wave would dehydrate this jerk...

[GreyWolfVT]

Algrim decides retreating is out of the question so instead once he breaks free of the creature he attacks it.
Save v Paralysis (6) (+1 from WIS +4 From Dwarf) [1d20+5] = 10+5 = 15
Spear +3 [1d20+3] = 9+3 = 12 To Hit [1d6+3] = 6+3 = 9 Dmg

[merias]

Once he sees Algrim is free, Dandy advances while casting plane shift, touching the creature and sending him to the plane of elemental fire.
