Re: Chapter 5: The Witchwood
The hydra rises ever higher from its resting place beneath the swamp, its massive form casting a deep shadow over Marklin, the lone defender against the multi-headed monster.
Some distance away, the fighter's companions fire bolt and arrow at the monster, Valthur and Sarah sundering a head a piece with the magic bolts they recovered from a previous adventure.
Still, 3 heads remain and they all appear to be quite agitated now.
For her part, Aldara targets the central head with a darkness spell, casting a globe of inky black on the creature's eyes. The hydra attempts to overcome Aldara's magic, but is no match for her wizardly prowess. The hydra shrieks in rage as the visible world is sunk in darkness. Now, the monster must rely solely on its sense of smell, sound and vibration.
Lashing out at the closest thing to it, Marklin, the newly-three headed hydra dives and snaps at the fighter. Its three reptilian heads snarl and shriek, razor-sharp teeth glistening in the sun.
First head incoming! Darkness looms over both. Splash! Marklin jumps aside. Second head, the fighter rolls to his right just in time. Splash! Third head, splash, and he somersaults back to his feet.
A globe of darkness enshrouds the hydra as it rears backward and struggles to understand its foe(s).
OOC: Marklin is about 10 feet distant from the Hydra, with the wagon between he and it. Eoni is 20 feet distant. The rest of the party is anywhere from 30 to 60 feet distant.
The hydra is currently cast in a globe of darkness, centered on its central head. Any attack made against it is at -4.
Additionally, I edited the to-hit charts listed below as several of your target numbers were incorrect.
