Strange Aeons: Ash's Redoubt [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R1T22: Mack makes a point of putting combatants between himself and hostiles, then finding cover to duck behind. To best accomplish this, he pushes into the furnace room just past Björn & Al.

R1T20: Ben stands there and his form shifts. Soon, you see multiple versions of him spinning around himself and melding and splitting again. It's like everyone suddenly got drunk and there are multiple Ben's all standing in the same relative spot, but not so you can get a good bead on him. Al, Björn, and Mack don't see this (they are in the furnace room).

R1T19: The Captain shoots Zoo right in the rear haunches for 12 with his light crossbow, a function of superior accuracy! Zoo, still sporting a wound from previous, drops and instantly shifts back into his normal darker-skinned human form, unconscious and bleeding. This happens right outside the furnace room, so those guys do see this (not who shot). The Captain reloads his crossbow.

Zoo was down to 8 hit points from previous wounds. Also, because spending a spell point was not specified, it is assumed that he was going to use a MA each round to concentrate. He can't concentrate, so ...

R1T18: Ourolini (srgonzo), what do you do? No, your form cannot stabilize people bleeding out.

R1T15: "HOLD YOUR FIRE!" Bangs yells as he moves towards Zoo, and begins administering his wounds, "Look, he's already back to his normal form, just cause he is a crazy loon that can't decide if he is a dog or a man doesn't mean you should kill him!"

Bangs successfully stabilizes Zoo.

"Did you kill any Grays before?" presses Ben to the guards. "We did, and when they fall from their wounds don't they turn back into their waxy, faceless gray form?"

The three guards seem trained on Ben now, but don't fire, delaying for something. "Captain ...?" asks one. "What do we do?"

R1T21: A tiny creature rushes forth to attack the surprised Akbar who manages to just pull his head back in time. Light comes from the creature's eyes, and his currently lit coin and an area surrounding Akbar's whole body seems to have some glow.

R1T11: An R.O.U.S. likewise rushes forth from under the boiler and bites Akbar on the ankle for 2.

S1T7: Too far under the boiler at the time to be in the cone, the second rat charges and misses Akbar, smacking its jaw on a pipe and hurting its mouth.

End Surprise Round, Begin Round One ...

R1T26: Zoo stays low as he changes his form. The familiar smoke appears and emits a badger the size of a human child. Its awkward long neck marks it as unnatural. The badger-beast tenses, ready to strike should it be attacked. To Zoo's pleasant surprise, by investing a significant portion of magic into the change he is given 1 healing as his body naturally tries to fill in and cover where there was damage. Still, it is plain to see that this badger has a nasty wound.

R1T22: Brother Jaume, you are right next to Zoo (it makes sense since you would have put the wounded man next to you), and you don't see Akbar's kerfuffle. You do, however, see a riot of colorful light around the corner. What do you do?

Akbar, Wielder of Light, enters with Björn, Amnesiac Reader of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Normally, it would be a fissure in a wall in a building that shows signs of structural distress. Akbar doesn't know about such things but it seems innocent enough. Björn, on the other hand, is suddenly flooded with memories of easily more than a hundred books of a genre dealing with magic and/ or technology, or even quaint villages hiding elder evils and warning bells go off in his mind. This sudden remembrance is rewarded by a memory of ... was a it a mentor, he can't remember, but it is of a disturbingly NON-human person with a bulbous head and huge, watery eyes on the side of his head - and yet wearing some type of a uniform, and this military (?) person from Björn's memory says in a gluttery-watery voice, "It's a trap!"

Sure enough, zooming forth out of the crack are two terrifying creepy crawlies that get right up to the two men before any warning could be made. The room is 10' x 10', difficult terrain, and with these things now in there the room is full.

Begin Round One (only the four primaries this round) ...

R1T25: Owing to Akbar's twitchy nature, he goes first. Because of the size of the room (he is next to Bj, and the monsters are on opposing facing), he can't quite use a cone-attack. Akbar is at a total loss as to what these monsters are, and they are each the length of a man.

R1T11: Björn's Bug attacks the Big Dane even more impressively, but is even more stymied by the ectoplasmic armor that he wears.

R1T6: Björn, you are facing down one of these nasty creatures (and another to your FL [forward-left]) with Akbar to your immediate left. Unless you provoke AOOs to leave the room entirely, there is nowhere to go, not that you necessarily would, as you are finding that this armor that formed around you is DAMNED impressive in holding these things off.

The monster scores a critical on Akbar's head, its mandibles clacking in on both sides of his temples for 9, and with a light wound Akbar had before he is really unsteady now. He only just barely fights off the numbing sensation he feels from what is some type of venom.

R1T21: Brother Jaume, you can step up to Akbar's side and attack this hideous monster. It has cover from you (and you from it) because you are to the side of the doorway attacking inwards if you attack. What do you do?

R1T21: Brother Jaume steps up to Akbar (south side) and unleashes a flurry of blows on the offending insect critter. His first blow is enough to disable the monster, but his second strike splatters it.

R1T18: Disgust fills Bangs as he sees that the creatures they have encountered so far merely get more and more disturbing. First murderous bipedal shapeshifters, then tentacled rodentia, and now insectoids with far, far too many legs. Luckily, Bangs has the next best thing to a thick weighty boot in this situation, high velocity rocks. But it is a terrible shot and it hits Björn in the chest with solid force, but the man's strange armor is very powerful and keeps him from injury.

R1T14: As it appears she is grappled, Björn doesn't want to accidentally hit the wrong beast, so he holds.

R1T12: Brother Jaume, what do you do?

R1T12: Brother Jaume steps up to the Gray, realizing that a simple five feet is a little more difficult with the rubble in the room. Pivoting his hips as he spins his heavy oak quarterstaff into a two handed grip, he swings powerfully at the creature's head and it bonks, but does no damage. In trying to do nonlethal damage, Brother Jaume sacrificed a lot of accuracy.

Difficult terrain, so you moved 5', but that was equivalent to a 10' move (MA, not FA).

Also, to do nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon - such as a quarterstaff - you take a -4 penalty to your attack roll.

R1T11: The Gray, possessing surprisingly long, powerful claws, tries to shred at his captor but ends up flailing wildly, instead.

R1T10: Akbar, you are 10' away (a fine place of safety considering the proven physical power of these things and those larger-than-expected claws). What do you do?

R1T10: Akbar decides not to join in the scrum on the floor. Instead he keeps his back to a wall and watches for more enemies.
