Elboc keeps a close watch on Malik and Shaker.  He won’t hesitate to run them through, should the situation call for it.

Re: Chapter 004 - Pyramid Tier 5

Albricht shuffled off to the side, made as if he was rubbing a sore shoulder and watched for any sign of recognition between the odd mask-wearers. We bein' led into a trap? he wondered.

Re: Chapter 004 - Pyramid Tier 5

"We're the guards of the lower level," one of the rat-masked people spits out.  "If you're traveling, move along, but the stairs aren't for you."

With that, all four of them draw an inch of the daggers at their belts in what is obviously meant to be a menacing way.

Malik and Shakur don't seem to pass any sense of recognition between themselves and the rat-masked people, but they also don't seem to be surprised to see them there.

Re: Chapter 004 - Pyramid Tier 5

Roak draws his blade. "Your math is terrible, rat-boys. There are more of us than there are of you. We'll cut you up for food for rats unless you put those blades away now."

It is, perhaps, a bit presumptuous for a halfling to threaten these men, but his blade is rather bright and sharp.

“Perhaps this hasn’t occurred to you, but we might like the stairs.  In fact, of all the stairs we have encountered in our travels, these might be our absolute favorite.”

One of the rat-masked individuals looks to the others, then says, "Your funeral!" as the group of them leap to attack.

OOC:
I'm giving you guys the benefit of initiative this round, as several of you indicated that you were getting ready for this. Go to it.

Re: Chapter 004 - Pyramid Tier 5

Albricht shuffled forward as if making for the stairs. "Outta my way vermin!" He grunted. When the rat-masked leader made - what the old water-finder interpreted as - a threat, Albricht swung his mace in a downward smashing motion off his shoulder. The rat-masked man proved to be a little more nimble than Albricht had assumed!

"HA! Thought you'd move!" Albricht boasted.

Re: Chapter 004 - Pyramid Tier 5

Roak and Vsaati dispatch one of the rat-masked opponents between the two of them, and then all but one of the remaining stair-guards falls asleep as a result of Elboc's spell.  The remaining figure steps back in shock, drops its dagger, and hunches down, emerging from its mask and clothing looking like a giant rat and not a person.

The remaining giant rat turns tail and runs down the stairs behind it, disappearing into the darkness.

"Coulda been worse..." Albricht huffed. "Coulda been were-snakes!"

He stepped to the top of the stairs and clicked off a crossbow bolt at the fleeing lycanthrope.

Hit AC6 for 1 damage. Meh...

Following suit Sherborne, if there is room, fires off a sling at the fleeing furry.

(rolled it anyway so as not to slow things down but if no room ignore ;) )


11:57, Today: Sherborne rolled 2 using 1d4+1.  damage. 1 damage...I don't think I get +1 but accidentally left it there.
11:56, Today: Sherborne rolled 14 using 1d20+1.  Sling attack.  Hits AC 5

Re: Chapter 004 - Pyramid Tier 5

The sling stone that Sherborne looses strikes the fleeing foe, but does not appear to do any damage.

<The +1 is from your strength, which is applied to thrown missile weapons like sling stones.>

A quick look around shows those who have descended the stairs to be in a room that is 65' east-west by 70' north-south, and has doors in the west and east walls, with two doors in the south. The walls here are roughly-hewn, unlike the fitted stones of the walls above, and you can see a giant scorpion rising from its nest in the southwest of the room, opposite where you have entered in the northeast.

<The action continues in Chapter 005 - Pyramid Tier 6>
