Gyb

Gyb makes a grab at Keya if he tries to follow the red priest. If not he helps with Loyn.

I don't think there's anyone in the actual cave. Ithrandir is not too far way outside, with a bugbear. Meinhardt is a bit further away, one level down.

Wes

Wes continues to peck at the hawk and do his best to interfere with it's flight.

Raven's beak (THACO 16) [1d20]=11 Dmg 1 Blinding (10%) [1d100]=97

Gyb

Gyb remains wary but slightly relaxes his fighting stance.

"You leave. Gyb and his friends leave too. All of his friends. Outside the cave too".

Re: the Red Priest. I'd like to propose we take the deal and let the guy go. Most of the PCs in the cave are on a handful of HP. One hit and we're down. That just creates a death spiral of fewer live characters trying to protect more unconscious ones. We've got prisoners we're trying to rescue, and ...

Wes Wes fights back as best he can against the hawk. Struggling against it's grip, he pecks at it's face as best he can. Realizing he has to get the fight closer to the ground, he flaps his wings to interfere with the movement of the hawk's, trying to break their rhythm and cause the bird to lose a...

Gyb

"Gyb's not dead yet!" retorts Gyb.

He takes a couple of steps backwards to lure the priest towards him. Then he aims a kick at the man's knee.

Open hand attack. (THACO 20) [1d20]=14 Dmg [1d4]=2

Wes

Wes dives back to the party as fast as he can.

Wes

Wes looks around to see if the hawks are still around. If the area looks clear, he flies up a couple of hundred feet. Looping around the pillar he tries to get an idea of of how far up the foothold go. Does it look like a serious trail to the top, or one that peters out after a short distance?

Wes Wes ruffles his feathers and bobs his head to attract attention. (Truth be told, he's enjoying his new form. Truly, The Shalm's generosity is wonderous!) After a small "Yark!" he begins: " Statues. Probably. Safe". "Holding. Chains." "Drop. Chains. "Drop....

Wes

Wes hops on to Tlachtga's shoulder. "SQUARK!!!" he screeches, then in a close imitation of his regular voice, says: "That. Was. Close".

Wes snags a bug out of Tlachtga's hair. "Bird. For. Now. Useful. Maybe".

Gyb Gyb decides to eschew anything complicated like stabbing the red priest. He reasons that a punch in the face will be faster than a complicated spell. With a war-cry of "HELLLLLLLP!!!!" he drives his fist straight into the priest's nose. Open hand attack. (THACO 20) [1d20]=18 Dmg [1d4]...

Wes

Wes angles his wings and dives back towards the safety of the party as fast as he can.

Wes "Perhaps I can take a closer look, Wes says softly. "Great Obad Hai! I wish to draw upon your gift. Beasts of air, land and water! Hunter or prey, bestow on me a new form today!" There is a shimmering in the air around Wes, and the form of the druid is replaced by...a large raven...

Gyb

Gyb runs forward to the edge of melee range and hurls a javelin at the priest. "No! Away! Away!"

Javelin (THACO 20) [1d20]=16 DMG [1d6+1]=1+1=2
The +1 comes from the extra 1/2 hp weapon damage monks gain every level

When Wes said northwest, he actually meant northeast :oops: "Almost certainly", agrees Wes. After a moment he adds, "You know, we could avoid this place for now. It looks like hard going and it could be dangerous." "As Tlatchga says, we probably have to go to the library fi...

Wes Wes wakes from a strange dream, of an endless parade of animals marching towards him. Yet as each animal had reached him, it morphed into another form. Bears into fish. Alligators into eagles. Elephants into frogs. "I thought those mangos tasted off" , he says, shaking his head. Then ...

Gyb

With the cat taken care of and Tammuz dead, Gyb doesn't care to stay underground a moment longer. He sprints for the exit as fast as he can.

Thank you for your kind words. It can be hard work, but worth it when you see the look on a student's face when they suddenly understand what you are rambling about

It's also the worst week to stay slim, as the PTA throws pizza, candy, donuts or cake at you every day!

Maag Maag proceeds to the bookcases, eyeing the gargoyle suspiciously. He waits a few moments for it to move, then starts to inspect the bookcases. He first looks for anything odd about the books, such as any that have been dropped on the floor in a hurry. If nothing seems too obvious, Maag starts ...
