Crobeus - Human Paladin

"We need to get Loyn!" After helping free the prisoners, the Paladin makes his way back to the unconscious dwarf as quickly as he can.
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Renna

With this rapidly going from bad to worse, and knowing that she cannot melee with a Bugbear she will retreat up the hill attempting to use the trees for cover and to help her up the hill.

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

Daliedhur

Follows Crobeus, but he keeps looking back to see if the necromancer or his monstrous familiar are not following -"The master of that horrendous cat is still alive - take care..." - he urges those around him.

One Short Of A Baker's Dozen
New World Record?
Early Afternoon, Warm Clear


Outside

With nobody to stop it now, the Skeleton drags the unconscious body of Stobart into the cave mouth where neither are seen again.

Bugs slides along the ledge to avoid the huge foot of the Bugbear who is about to stomp him back downwards. The beast drops the unconscious Meinhardt again but follows the Gnome along the ledge, staying above the area wherever he tries to ascend. "How bout I take everything you have once you dead?"

Nearby, Ithrandir decides to continue firing his bow while the monster climbs the ledge. The first arrow plunges through the things thick hide, causing it to yelp loudly. When the Elf pulls back the bow for his second shot, the string snaps in his hand, soliciting a weird smile from the Bugbear, who reaches out to grab Ithrandir by his leg, actually picking him up off the ground. He starts swinging the much smaller figure around in the air before smashing him into the hard ground with enough force to knock him out completely. 4 dam

Renna leaves them both to their fate to walk back up the ledge she is on in hopes of climbing up to the top of the ravine again with the help of the thick copse of nearby trees. Daring a look behind her, it appears the closest Bugbear might be about to follow her.

Inside

Keya, Magdal, and Arpad try to keep the emaciated prisoners together as best they can while moving along the hallway in the direction they entered this unwholesome place. They lag a little ways behind Crobeus and Daliedhur, who shouts out a warning behind him. The trailing group hears a terrible noise coming from down the other passage as they pass the wide intersection, causing the freed prisoners to scuttle along a little faster.

When the lead duo rounds the last corner, they spot Gyb fighting for his life near the cave exit. The Monk tires a bait and kick move on the Priest, but nearly breaks his foot when he kicks the steel armor under the mans bright red robes. Then the Priest smashes his mace into Gyb hard enough to cause him a serious wound. 5 dam

As he advances again towards the Monk, he shouts out loud enough for all to hear. "Stop this attack now and I will spare your lives!"

Magdal

Magdal is not in the mood to negotiate with someone who attempting to kill Gyb, so she fires off two shots at the man.

1st bowshot: [1d20]=8 damage: [1d6]=6
2nd bowshot: [1d20]=6 damage: [1d6]=1

Daliedhur

I was under the impression Gyb and the red robed priest were in melee? So Daliedhur will not fire his bow.

"Let us leave now, and there needs to be no more bloodshed" - he replied to the man.

If he starts casting, Daliedhur will charge him.

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".

Bugs

He pauses for a second to consider the new information. "Huh. I didn't think of that. Good point. But maybe I have more gold hidden somewhere else!"

Bugs stays put and continues to parlay. "I thought you guys wanted those undead out of here! That's what I'm doing! Let's fight after the undead are gone!"

Renna

Once Renna gets to the top she will get a lit flask of oil and will spread over the path the bugbear would potentially follow her on.

Sorry, no maps on this one.

One Short Of A Baker's Dozen
New World Record?
Early Afternoon, Warm Clear


Outside

Bugs chats with the Bugbear while stuck clinging to the side of the lower ledge. "Why you shoot us then? Arrow in leg really hurt!!!"

When Renna starts pouring oil out on the ledge above the other Bugbear, he stops his pursuit before spotting a red robed figure suddenly dart out of the cave mouth where the Gnolls entered earlier. Then the magic suddenly wears off Pimlan, causing him to revert back to his normal size again.

Actions?
X = Bugbear
square = unconscious




Inside

(I think I better intervene here before our 12th and counting friendly fire incident.) Magdal reaches back into her quiver to find it empty. In all the excitement, she didn't realize she has already used up all her arrows.

While most of the group agrees to accept a nonviolent stalemate with the red robed adversary, allowing him to leave without further incident, Keya has a better idea. He tries to cast a spell at the man, despite his clearly higher rank in the clergy. When the spell has no effect on him, he looks around the room before deciding that living to fight another day is likely in his best interest. However, his arrogance won't let him simply leave without causing a bit of conflict, so he retaliates against the holy Ranger with the same exact spell before he quickly darts outside the cave entrance. "Follow!" Save vs. Spells please to act of your own accord.

Actions?

Meinhardt (MU1) AC:10 -3/5 Sleep, MM, Unconscious
Gyb the Meager (M2) AC:9 3/11 Torch
Bugs Donato G (T3) AC:3 7/24
Pimlan (F1/T1) H-L AC:6 -2/9 Unconscious
Renna (MU1/C1) Elf AC:4 3/9 MM/MM/En/CLW/CLW/CLW
Loyn Shortbeard D (F2) AC:5 -2/23 Unconscious
Keya Redd H-E (C1/R1) AC:5 3/12 D CLW Torch
Magdal (R1) AC:7 11/16
Ithrandir (F1/MU1) AC:5 -3/7 Unconscious
Daliedhur (F1/MU1) AC:3 3/13 D (Cinder AC:6 4/4)

Daliedhur

The elf's relief as the their red robed opponent left was short lived, and he shook his head in dismay as Keya continued with the hostilities - "Someone stop her from following!" - he shouted at no one in particular, moving to pick up the unconscious Loyn and leave - "We need to go now"

Is there anyone else of the group unconscious, here in the vicinity of the cave entrance? Daliedhur is strong, but I doubt he can carry more than one.

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.

Clerics spell save is still not that good, I took a chance. :)

Spell vs. 15 [1d20]=9

Keya heads towards the cleric, but is grabbed by his friends.

Renna

Renna will be forced to set Pim down for the moment (since he is full size) and wait for a few moments for someone to escape.
