Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
"They really are hard to kill!" Percival boomed, stomping down again.
Kali continued to assist, pummeling the disgusting bug. "That is what they're known for."
"Yes, but the last roach I fought died in one strike."
"The last roach you fought was the size of my thumbnail."

"This is just awful." said Cotyledon as she reloaded her crossbow, only to fire once more into the fracas.

Shoosting a roach. I think they're all in melee so I'll choke on that -4 penalty like a champ.

Heedless of the death of four of their number, the remaining pair of roaches attempted to make a meal out of their targets, but missed both attacks.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Cotyledon was shocked that she managed to finish off one of the enormous insects; fighting was not her forte.
"Honestly I'm more concerned about what killed all of these mites," she said as she reloaded and fired once more.

Henrietta
"I would have to agree with you on that front," said Henrietta to Coty as she sliced at the still-struggling roach in front of her.
SpoilerStill choked up on the glaive, so no need to move.
Attack: (1d20+6)[24]
Damage: (1d10+4)[12]
With a resoundingly satisfying crunch, the roach finally gave up the ghost as her glaive bisected the oversized arthropod.Last edited by Lord Of Mantas; 2019-03-25 at 08:00 PM.

"I'm sure we'll find out what killed the mites soon enough." Her tone was pessimistic even as she sliced the remaining roach through.

Gilbert shuffled forward and brought his hammer down, causing the roach's shell to crack. But it hung on and feebly tried to bite the undertaker who managed to dodge out of the way.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Henrietta
Henrietta wiped her blade before stowing her glaive once more, then made her way over to the altar.
"Well, now we'll see if I was right, I suppose. No point delaying the inevitable."
Spoiler: ActionsHenrietta will first take 20 on perception for 27 to try and spot anything dangerous/hidden in the tiles. Then, she will step on the horse's head first, then the rapier, then the feathery wings.
Stepping onto the horse's head, a slight buzz reached Henrietta's ears a second too late, and she screamed as she fell back, electricity coursing through her body.
"Okay. So, not the horse's head first." She looked back at the others. "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather not try that again."Last edited by Lord Of Mantas; 2019-03-27 at 08:36 PM.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
"I feel like the mites tried to brute-force a solution and those corpses are the error part of their trial." The fancy man frowned, but as Henrietta was still living, he just shrugged and sat down on the stone.
"Puzzle's a bit rubbish, isn't it? It didn't even give us all the rules. Do you step on just three tiles to cross or do you have to step on every one that applies? Not really fair to give us a game and not explain the rules, love." He began laying out a Harrow spread from his good deck of cards. Fine, sturdy things with more ink and gilding than a wizard's spellbook. No explanation for who was his 'love'.

Vesper put his cards away, flung the scarf at Bellas, and darted over to the tiles. Heart. Rapier. Wings. Bow.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Roslar's Tomb
Whether it was divine guidance from above, or a spark of insight, Vesper stepped on the correct tiles. There was a pause after his bow, and then the altar quietly slid back along with the panel beneath, revealing its treasure. There, untouched by dirt or time, was a sparkling mithral breastplate accompanied by a masterwork steel heavy shield. Both were emblazoned with a red-winged rapier, the symbol of Arazni.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Henrietta
Henrietta groaned from where she was lying on the ground as she saw Vesper get the tile combination correct on his first try.
"'ve course it happened to me..."
As the altar slid back, she eased herself back up into a standing position, and couldn't help but give a quiet whistle in awe. She looked to the rest of the party.
"Anyone mind if I call dibs on the breastplate?"Everything dissolves into blue.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Henrietta
Henrietta narrowed her eyes at Vesper.
"Perhaps you've forgotten, but currently everything else living we've seen so far has tried to kill us. Forget selling the thing, I need the armor for protection until we can get out of this mess. And given how everything's gone so far, we're bound to run into something much larger and meaner than the bugs we've been dealing with so far. If you're that torn over selling the damn thing, we can discuss that if we escape. If I'm going to be in the front keeping everything from biting us, I deserve some proper protection."Everything dissolves into blue.

"I don't care if you wear it now. I just want to get paid once we get out of here. I could nearly buy an inn with my share! Actually, there's this innkeeper in Belhaim and she has an enormous pair of... second floor suites. Maybe I'll just go marry her."

"Oh."
Henrietta blinked.
"Well, I'm okay without money. You wanna sell it, I'm fine with that. I just want to wear it." She looked back to the party. "Anyone else actually interested in wearing it?"Everything dissolves into blue.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
"Yeah, I don't really do armor. Gets in the way of the magic."
Vesper shuffled his cards in the air, then held out the deck. "Come on. All you melee folks have a draw. High card wears the fancy armor out of the store."
Roll 1d13 for rank and 1d4 for suit. Reroll if you got the same result as someone who's already drawn. A 1 is an ace, so that's actually the best draw. Suit is irrelevant.Last edited by Nefarion Xid; 2019-03-27 at 11:01 PM.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Bellas
Bellas eyed Vesper suspiciously as though she couldn't decide whether he had deduced the puzzle solution through cleverness or luck.
"We could all do with a bit more protection, I think." Her response to Henrietta's query was resigned but she'd be rather foolish to not take the chance to upgrade her armor. She sauntered over to Vesper and waved his handkerchief back at him.
"You do magic? I hadn't noticed." The corner of her lips quirked into an amused grin as she plucked a card from the offered deck.

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Cotyledon's flower petal face fluttered in a strange wave, as if a pebble had been dropped in a pool of still water.
"Most impressive. Very clever. It would have taken me... time... to solve that puzzle. Although I was concerned it was necessary to escape this place somehow, not merely a lock for more... loot. Well done... card... jester... guy? What is your name? Why haven't all of you shared your name yet? I did right away. I thought it was polite? Or did that go out of style at some point?"
The ghoran fidgeted with her crossbow before securing it once more to a loop on her belt.Last edited by CockroachTeaParty; 2019-03-28 at 12:42 AM.

"Oh." The man frowned, then offered a wan, optimistic smile. "People call me Vesper. I mean, because I ask them to, obviously. I'm not famous. A little? Not a lot. Not around here anyway."
He was certainly dressed like a Varisian, maybe a performer too. He had a Harrow deck as well. His actual ethnicity was a mystery though. If forced to venture a guess, most people would say 'all of them?' and be half right.
"It is lovely to meet you all... in this tomb filled with abyssal vermin and horrible ugly little blue men and lightning traps."

Re: Othniel's Tyrant's Grasp I
Cotyledon fixes her empty eye holes on Vesper, shifting her face petals into a facsimile of a smile.
"Vesper... the evening prayer. Oh! Henrietta, how badly were you hurt?"
She clasped her strange vine-like hands together, and a pulse of golden light washed over the gathered adventurers, soothing them with positive energy.

"Ohhh..." Bellas audibly sighed as Coty's healing energy suffused her injured leg and knit the wound back together. She lifted her foot onto the altar and inspected the leg the roach had bitten.
"Good as new, thanks for that." Her brief smile lit her face with a warmth that had previously been lacking despite the pleasant aesthetics of her features.

"I'm glad to meet all of you! I think I introduced myself already, but it's still nice to hear names." The aasimar paused. "And I don't need the armor. Too heavy for me and it will interrupt the link if Percy wears it."
