Mt. Stalagos: Planting 26, Morning
Round 2 (cont.)
The magic projectiles dart from Moonshadow’s hands and crash into the beast’s forehead with a loud crack. And Grigor starts to sing.
There’s more activity behind the howler. A lot of shouting and gnoll-howling.
Round 3
The howler starts to try and pick itself back up, but Halgrim quickly brings his mace down on the same spot Moonshadow’s missiles had struck, and the beast’s skull cracks under the weight of the thing. The howler moves no more.
(( AoO against howler for trying to stand up Successful. Halgrim can still take a regular action. ))
Now that the howler is no longer a threat, Halgrim can look past the body. It looks like several human guards and a gnoll are clearing tables out of the way of a ballista on the far end of the room.
(( Halgrim and Tom ))
(( Map 33 ))The Future just ain’t what it used to be.

Tom startles as he sees the men preparing the massive weapon...
Now that's not nice... I wonder if they can load that thing by touch?
Suddenly it gets very dark around the ballista.
SpoilerUse Control Light to produce darkness around the ballista crew. It should be big enough to cover everybody."Do Driderettes buy their legwarmers in bulk?"

Grigor, human cleric
Seeing the giant beast fall and hearing Halgrim call out for succor, Grigor moves to him to apply Olidamarra's blessing on him.
"Olidmarra with you, friend."
SpoilerIf we have some time it would be best if Grigor fills up Halgrim to half at 3 HP/round before applying a cure spell. But then it will be an Inflict Medium Wounds spell turned into a Cure Medium Wounds spell for (2d8+6)[10] HP.
Edit: Well, ok, at least it wasn't 8 HP. Maybe swapped Inflict spells don't make for the best cures. :p

"Thank yew." He mutters as Grigor restores his wounds with a spell. "Y'all take cover! Ya don't wanna get hit by that." He shouts as he slams his shoulder into a corner.

Most of the room behind the doors goes pitch black and the human guards begin shouting in confusion, and the gnolls begin chattering back in response. There are also a few loud crashes, as if someone knocked something over.

Meggido
SpoilerI think that Meggido's in this slot as well, but it's not like he's doing anything that will change the situation, so we should be able to get through Moonshadow's action as well.
Nodding at Halgrim's quite reasonable advice, Meggido steps back and gazes around the corner, his newly liberated bow held up, arrow nocked.

Meggido shakes his head emphatically in answer to Halgrim's question. He tries to visualize where the great siege engine had been, and shoot where he thinks someone using it would stand.

Moonshadow calls to the other plains, summoning a fiendish dire rat at the base of the siege engines. He tells it to climb up and attempt to chew through the firing mechanism, hoping to disable the siege engines before they can be used against them.

Grigor keeps 'singing' by loudly declaring "Let us forge ahead and crush our foes, for the glory of the gods!" and stows his bow again and his picks his way across the rubble and draws his bastard sword.
Whatever opposition awaits him in the gloom ahead, he is ready to face it!

Meggido quickly shakes his head at Tom's offer. Instead he raises his voice, calling in to the occupants of the room beyond.

Grigor mulls the situation over in his head and decides that Meggido's idea is as good as anything he can think of. So he stows his bow away again and draws his sword, giving Meggido a nod of approval.

Re: Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (IC): Thread 2
Excellent. It will take them some time to rewind that silly oversized thing.
"Eight! Seven! Six! Five!"
As quickly as he can, Meggido moves up towards the massive doors, praying that the cover of darkness holds. Such a pity that his most effective means of destroying things forces him to get so close to those things first.
In the doorway, Meggido carefully steps over and around the spiky ridge of the massive devil-dog-thing, and prepares a blast.
SpoilerMeggido is hustling to get to 30,19, counting each square as eating up 10' of movement.
A reminder that Moonshadow and Grigor are up next.

Grigor, human cleric
Grigor himself advances as fast as the broken ground and low visibility will allow him.
"We will have to charge them I'm afraid..." he says as he takes a tanglefoot bag out of his belt pouch. If it can gum up people, maybe it can gum up a ballista too... And Olidamarra is always keen on trying out new things.
