Re: A Seemingly Simple Task
Stan waits down by the shore, keeping the crossbow trained on the globe of darkness. He readies himself to shoot the first unfamiliar thing he see once/if the darkness is lifted.
M’dok issues a great cry and leads his three warriors up the spiraling path to finally confront the demon! The little creature’s legs pump as he sprints up the incline; but he is easily passed by the other, taller individuals.
Porto is next, following the charging kobold leader up the incline. As he moves, Chubbs casts a simple evocation on the length of rope coiled around his left arm; the one spell Stan had been waiting patiently for. Unfortunately, taking the time to cast the spell slows him down slightly, delaying the halfling from reaching the top ahead of the others.
Roth listens carefully, trying to pinpoint the location of the creature known as The Demon. He is surprised to sense how close he is to the beast, and has little trouble identifying the other combatant’s loud armor and ragged breathing. He thrusts with his rapier, but catches his target’s armor which effectively turns his blade.
The second kobold warrior follows M’dok up the slope, hollering curses to the demon.
Ilsa also rushes up the incline, barreling past everyone in her way. With her great strides, she easily—even in her sickened state—makes it to the top of the small plateau. She arrives to find the area still darkened by the Demon’s spell, but also the top of the plateau makes for very closed-quarter fighting. The area is only ten feet squared, and now filled by the Demon, Roth, Neya, and now Ilsa—not to mention a small fire ring and some kind of wooden structure.
The first and third kobold warriors follow the others.
Following a vicious snarl, Roth’s left shoulder explodes in pain! Something very sturdy has stabbed very deeply into his shoulder.
Neya sniffs out the Demon and lashes out violently! She catches a mouthful of something incased in metal and bites down, thrashing about to trip up her catch. A throaty grunt protests the trip attempt, and forces Neya’s neck to the side; but she proves the stronger, evident by the loud crash immediately following. The force holding Roth’s shoulder also goes limp. With a sickly pop, the elf feels warm blood pouring down his arm and left flank.
