Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Jade's reply is cut short by a biting curse as dozens of the remaining ants climb up his legs and bite at his ankles.
Meanwhile, out of the corner of his eye Artorias sees something shift under the rubble. Kheel's eyes widen as he sees the rubble shift too. Something rises out of the pile, rubble sliding off of it and falling to the ground until finally the creature beneath is revealed. An enormous spider, easily the size of the bulettes faced earlier, has dug its way out of the rubble and is bearing down on the remaining party outside.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Artorias reflexively turns back when he hears the spider scuttling. "Great... just great" he drops the insta-campfire ball in front of him as he draws his sword before jumping on the back of the spider, his blade drawing an arc in the air as he tries to attack

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Jadeite looks distinctly nauseous as the ants bite into him, and hops up and down trying to shake them off. Meanwhile, Surdrak doesn't even look at where he blasts and so hits a meat cleaver instead, causing it to fly into the air and spin into the stone floor with a crash.
Outside, the spider bites into Sora, leaving a deep gash, but she's able to shake off the poison for the time being and responds with a spell to increase everyone's accuracy slightly. And Artorias swings his blade to deal the spider a deep grevious blow.
Spoileri need a crit damage from from Artorias please, and and sorry Surdrak but that last one just missed. Elsee, Kheel, badger, and jadeite are up. In seeing a movie with friends so I'll post IC later.My webcomic!

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
With one powerful swing Artorias nearly cleaves the the spider in two. It still stands, but just barely. Kheel follows up by diving in and slamming down on the spider's head with outstretched talons.
Meanwhile, inside, Jadeite runs over to the stack of firewood, and hurls it over the campfire Artorias summoned into the middle of the ants. As it passes through the flame the wood catches alight, and by the time it lands in the middle of the ants it's a torch that sears even more of them.
Spoiler: Rolls and notesBadger and Elsee are up. Athedia, don't forget Badger has a flaming bow...

Jadeite damage: (d4)[4]
Kheel attack: (d20+11)[22]
Kheel crit: (d20+11)[14]

Jadeite's improvised torch lands right in a thick clump of ants, and they all go up in a sudden blaze. Meanwhile, Kheel lands straight on the spider's head, piercing several of its eyes but not quite killing it.Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2014-05-19 at 12:21 AM.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Badger looked through the archway still shuddering. Quickly she darted next to Jadiete and snatched some of the wood from his feet tossing it at the ants. She was careful to stay as far from the ants as she could.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Elsee mocked a surprised gasp at Sora's commands, unseathing her Kurkri and twirling them about as she encircled the large arachnid, sneaking up behind it as it's attention was focused on Kheel.
"An Astrid telling a Plavaan to risk her life for her!? Well call me crazy if THIS isn't a new one!"

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Badger's throw crushes a few of the ants. Meanwhile, outside, Elsee tries to dodge the spider's attacks as she moves to drive her blade into the monster.

You would have auto-passed the tumble check if you had updated your skill points, but you didn't so you failed the check and now you've taken max poison damage. This is what happens when you don't keep things updated. This goes for you and everyone.
Elsee can't tumble over the rubble, and though she kills the spider, in its death throes it slams its fangs into her shoulder. She doubles over in agony as the poison works its way through her and her muscles go limp.Last edited by CoffeeIncluded; 2014-05-19 at 11:08 PM.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
There aren't many ants left, and they seem to be in a state of confusion, swarming back and forth over the carcasses and corpses of their brethren. Some seen to have been driven deranged by the heat and flame and actually swarm towards Jadeite and Artorias, climbing up them, up their clothes, into the legs of their pants and biting all the flesh they can reach.
Spoiler: Damage and savesJadeite damage: (2d6)[4]

Artorias hurls another campfire right in front of him, then rolls out of the way. Ants fly off of him as he rolls and are flung into the crackling flames. Nearly all of the crazed ants that swarmed him are cooked, and there aren't too many left.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Surdrak shoots one last line of eldritch energy at the ants, incinerating hundreds of them in a single blast. When the smoke clears, thousands of ants lie in dead heaps. There are still a few scuttling over the carcasses and on the ground, but nowhere near enough to be a danger. For all intents and purposes, the fight is over.
SpoilerFight's over. Sora and Elsee are both poisoned and need to make another fort save soon or take more strength damage. Your choice whether to treat Elsee's strength damage before or after the second fort save. And you can look around now too.My webcomic!

Landing down gently, Surdrak folds his tendrils to resemble a long cape.
When no one notices, he ducks and picks up the fattest ant he can find and grabs a bite.

The ants are crunchy, and the burnt ones are crispy too. They're kinda sour, and burn his tongue when he eats handfuls at a time. There are a lot of ants here, enough to feed him for a few days at least.

Sour and Crispy. To complete a meal he needs Soft and Liquid bases, along with salty and sweet.
Will need sugar and hot peppers for liquid and potatoes for soft. maybe some green veggies too.
He opened the Sepicer Semalg and randomly opened on a page.
It said:
Sreilppus eht neve, lla sdanmmoc Fehc Eht.
True words.
There was a cleaver that bounced over there earlier. What was that about? Surdrak started looking around.
SpoilerIf you want to imagine what Spirit sounds like, take the way i write the Spirit words, put them on a Letters To Speech program, reverse the result and you have Spiritalk.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Looking around, Surdrak sees that the carcasses that the few live ants are still picking at are...varied. It's hard to tell at first, but some of the bodies are blink dogs, blasted and cut down by surprise. But two larger carcasses are partially dismembered, and not the bodies of dogs at all. Actually...they're deer. Half-carved deer. Surdrak looks over to the cleaver and suddenly what happened becomes clearer.
This is a kitchen. This is where food is prepared and stored--even if the blink dogs and wolf can live off raw meat, the halfling can't. They were probably in here, butchering a deer they caught on their latest hunt, eating and chatting amicably, when Alice attacked. They were taken by surprise and at least four were killed before they fled.

Re: Tales of Aequar: Runite's Rise IC IV
Both sora and Elsee feel their stomachs roil and their muscles painfully twitch as the poison continues working its way through them.
Spoiler: Sora and Elseeplease make another dc 16 fort save.
Inside, Surdrak continues looking through the kitchen for any more clues. It doesn't look particularly eldritch. But it looks like cabinets were carved into the shelves. Surdrak opens them to find all sorts of foodstuffs: dried jerky, flour, barley, ground corn. A small jar of seeds, a slightly larger jar of preserves. The berries used to make them are utterly unfamiliar.
Many of the spices are strange too. Oh, there's salt and black pepper and garlic, but he doesn't see any of the cayenne, and of the spicy flavorings so common in Runitian cooking and the dishes imported from the Southern Islands. These spices don't have names on them, but a sniff and sample suggests that they're more savory than anything else.
Spoilerwhere did the cooking is eldritch thing come from? Why not just have Surdrak enjoy it? Either way, I fun this entertaining and in rolling with it. Treasure tonight.My webcomic!

Artorias makes his way into the kitchen, he doesn't understand why but he feels a twinge of sadness and regret as he does so. Ciaran let's a soft cry from her perch on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Ciaran, this must be really painful for you too" he strokes her feathers in a comforting manner.
