The Savage Tide [IC]

R2T6: With fight still in him, mostly thanks to a fairly massive chunk of restorative magic, Darrius struggles with the thing and tries to lay his hand upon it again, but misses, the pedipalps wrapping around him almost to pin him.

End Round Two, Begin Round Three ...

R3T21: Both pedipals help the monster hold Darrius more securely so as to bite more accuratey, and it does 13 damage to the held man's shoulder, once again coming just short of dropping him.

R3T18: "F*** this," curses Vakrissa, who takes a swing with her scythe and drops it with 11 damage.

I doubt, with only 3 hps remaining, that Darrius will object to 'taking his medicine' - as in his own potion of CLW - as instructed by the party M.D., though it only helps with 5 damage.

Because of the amount of damage he has taken, Vakrissa suggests she be allowed to use a spell that will do more in a minute than Lazer's faster healing spells. She casts a spell on Darrius, and he heals 1 hp a round for about 75 or so seconds, healing him of 12 damage. He only has light scratches, so he is good to go for now.

A quick search of the room reveals only the two locked doors. One to the north, and one to the east (not counting the entrance door to the west. Darrius checks the door to the north, and pops the locke quickly. The chain went into a door trap, and this 5x5 room is nothing but a winch room with the chain going into the wall. Lazer figures that this chain can be used to pull the rhagodessa close to this door from another foom's handle, so that safe passage may be granted.

Nothing is heard at the eastern door, and no traps are found. Darrius pops the lock very easily this time ... he's getting the hang of this.

Before going in, does Darrius change his essentia lineup, or is he good for now. Remember that stealth really isn't an option now; it's primarily CQB.

EDIT: Also, with the lesser vigor spell and search of the room, Celiss' shield spell has expired.
