"I don't like the sound of that." Zell said as he pulled out his bow and made sure to stay well away from the "chest".

"Maybe Nino can find a big rock and hurl it at it?"

I don't think it is a chest.  It is either an illusion or something that has shifted to form the shape of a chest.

Nym pulls out his sword and swings at the chest with the intent of proving it is an illusion or something else.

OOC: 18:56, Today: Nym Eveningfall rolled 18 using 1d20+6.  To Hit w/ Longsword.
18:59, Today: Nym Eveningfall rolled 9 using 1d8+3.  Damage w/ Longsword.

Nym steps forward, swinging at the chest and as it does something happens.

Four yelliw spheres open up on the lid looking around with seething anger and hunger.  The lid irself opens up showing rows of teeth abd a huge purple togune. The sides of the chest seem to melt as tendrils reach out, one grabbing the longsword even as the chest bleeds a purple blood.

...its definitely not a chest!

The creatures lets out a wail and the tendrils flail around.

<ooc: iniative everyone.


For those who haven't realised you face a mimic

Rivka's eyes get wide with surprise,  and she quickly nocked an arrow

OOC:18:35, Today: Rivka rolled 13 using 1d20+3.  Initiative

Never having seen anything like this before Jonathan pauses in stunned silence for a couple seconds before responding.

18:42, Today: Jonathan rolled 8 using 1d20+2. initiative.

Yacob's spell of opening is what tipped me off to this being something other than a chest.  Had it appeared to work properly I would never have known it was a mimic.

OOC: 19:49, Today: Nym Eveningfall rolled 22 using 1d20+3.  Initiative.

Well that's not a big surprise.  After all Dwarves and Elves don't leave chests lying around in the middle of a room without some other safeguards.  I should have caught on sooner.


Nym says as moves to try to attack again.  Swearing midly in elven before continuing in common.

My sword is stuck in the stupid thing.

Zell was startled when the "chest" turned into a monster, as he looked on and wondered what he was going to do, upon seeing weapons stick to the creature. He already had his bow out and was prepared to fire some arrows at it.

20:25, Today: Zell rolled 12 using 1d20+3.  Initiative.

Seeing a monster that was a treasure chest startled the ranger so much that her first shot missed badly, but her second shot was more on target

Nym continues to swear in Elven as he works to get his sword unstuck from the mimic.

Quinn moves in and swings a mighty blow, but misses as he diverts his blow when Nym, trying to free his blade, moves into his path!

Nino was caught off guard when the chest turned into a chest full of teeth! He already had his axe out, so he charged right in and chopped at the monster with a mighty swing!

19:21, Today: Nino rolled 14 using 1d20+7.  Charging Power attack -4.

The young cleric advances staff spinning around him and attacks the chest turned monster. Striking the creature with his first swing. Nym's warning about weapons sticking to the creature sinking in a split second to late. Jonathan's staff stuck to the Mimic just as Nym's sword is, How in the nine hell's are we suppose to fight this thing?

Round 1

With the monster holding onto Nym's sword with some unseen force, the elf swears in his native language. Quinn, Nino and Johnathan, out of instinct, attack the beast, luckily for Nino and Quinn missing before they realise what had happened, but Johnathan, causing a solid hit, has his staff stuck fast to the mimic. One of the slimy tendrils reach out, swatting at Johnathan as he is trying to unstick his staff, but the clink of the arm is heard in his armor and he is nothing but pushed a little.

Rivka, Zell and Yacob, wisely, opt for ranged weapons. Zell takes aim and fires, but with Nym and Johnathan trying to remove weapons and the mimic moving, misses. Rivka, likewise misses her first shot, but her second aim is true, and a squeal can be heard as the arrow it's one of the eyes.

Likewise, the loudest squeal is when Yacob casts as spell from his want, a glob of purple acid hitting it causing a sizzling sound to come from the beast.

(OOC: First round is complete. The mimic has been hit a few times and various areas have blood oozing from it, but it also is holding Nym's sword and Johnathan's Staff. To remove teh weapon you need a DC 18 strength check.


Johnathan: 27/27 Weapon Stuck
Nino: 64/64
Nym: 34/34 Weapon Stuck
Quinn: 42/42
Rivka: 40/40
Yacob: 28/28
Zell: 28/28

Mimic: ??/18 )

Quinn, seeing what happened to the other weapons, steps back and drops his sword and pulls out his crossbow!

10:29, Today: Quinn rolled 1 using 1d8. damage.
10:29, Today: Quinn rolled 12 using 1d20+4. to hit.

The quarrel ricochets off the chest doing no damage!

  Yacob chuckles and launches three bolts of viridian force at the mimic striking through his companions wild gestures. One flying through the gap in Nino's axe (between the blade and the shaft), another curving around Nym to strike the mimic in an eye, and the third simply flying straight at it and slamming home in it's fang filled mouth.

Acid damage round 2 5 points
 Missile 1 damage 5
 Missile 2 damage 3
 Missile 3 damage 4
Total damage this round 17

Moving slightly to the side,  Rivka fired again, though her shots were still a bit rushed

OOC:
10:20, Today: Rivka rolled 7 using 1d8+2.  Damage first arrow .
10:19, Today: Rivka rolled 9 using 1d20+8.  Second arrow.
10:19, Today: Rivka rolled 15 using 1d20+8.  First arrow

The muscles on the young clerics arms bulge with effort as pulls against what ever force wolds his staff in place, straining with effort he growls You'll not keep my walking stick! then with a taring sound the staff is freed an Jonathan practically falls backward.


(Jonathan moves back behind the characters with range weapons)
16:33, Today: Jonathan rolled 18 using 1d20+2. strength check.

There was too many people fighting this one creature, so Zell took the time to scan the room for more enemies, instead of firing an arrow and possibly hitting an ally by mistake...

16:30, Today: Zell rolled 31 using 1d20+12.  Spot check.

Nino swung his axe again with all his fury on the monster chest, hoping to chop the thing to bits!


15:00, Today: Nino rolled 23 using 1d20+4.  Strength check DC 18.
14:58, Today: Nino rolled 26 using 1d12+14.  Power attack damage.
14:57, Today: Nino rolled 20 using 1d20+5.  Power attack-4.

ROUND 2

Nym tries in vain to remove the sword stuck on the mimic, giving the beast a perfect shot with one of it's tentacles. Fortunately, the shot raised off the elf....if a solid hit had have occurred the group realize the elf could well have been as stuck to the beast as his weapon.

Johnathan, equally as eagre to get his weapon clear, found a sudden burst of strength, and wether the damage from others or his own strength, the staff loosened and came free, causing the priest to stumble back and behind the others.

Quinn, forgoing his sword, grasped his crossbow and fire, but the quick movement of teh swap of weapons meant his aim was too high and flew over the beast. Meanwhile, Rivka fired another two arrows, one hitting causing a squeal of pain, while the other missed.

Nino, not fully grasping the beasts abilities, saw an enemy, ad growled and swung in a massive overhead chop with his axe, causing a piece to come off the beast. Even though the axe seemed stuck, the dwarf renched the axe free with a greenish spurt of blood.

The other dwarf cast a spell of arcane magic causing several missiles of pure energy to hit the mimic, finishing the beast as it collapsed in a poo of it's own green blood.

with panting breaths, all was silent.


....then Nym's sword dropped from the mimic's corpse, causing a clattering sound.

 <OOC: Encounter is at an end. congratulations everyone. Only injuries were Nym who was hit this round.>


Johnathan: 27/27
Nino: 64/64
Nym: 34/27 Weapon Stuck
Quinn: 42/42
Rivka: 40/40
Yacob: 28/28
Zell: 28/28

Mimic: Dead)

Rivka let out a breath
"Well, now, that was just disgusting "

Quinn put away his crossbow and picked his sword up from the ground. He went to try to reclaim his bolt if it survived.

Nino looked confused as he tried to look inside what was left of the creature to see if there was any money in it. You always keep money in chests.

Nino looked in the chest and was crestfallen by what he found. Chests usually had treasures in them....this one had teeth, a huge togune and green blood.

<OOC: anyone retrieving arrows roll a DC 13 check>
