Beldeth attracts a couple centipedes perhaps a bit too effectively.

(OOC came up with something on the spot for Beldeth trying to attract the centipedes sacrificing her attack, may be too good and may change in the future.)

06:39, Today: Grand Master, on behalf of Beldeth, rolled 6 using 4d2 with rolls of 1,2,1,2.  distract on 1 each.

C1 vs. Beldeth hits for 6
C2 vs. Moordenar II misses
C3 vs. Beldeth misses
C4 vs. Moordenar II hits for 3

06:38, Today: Grand Master, for the NPC centipedes, rolled 16,53,14 using 4d4,4d20,4d6 with rolls of 4,4,4,4,18,7,14,14,6,3,2,3.  vs. FWBM. +1 on d20s

(OOC Moordenar would've taken 11 without the distraction)

Moordenar II renews his assault on centipedes.

09:55, Today: Moordenar II rolled 5 using 1d6+1.  damage.

09:55, Today: Moordenar II rolled 14 using 1d20+1.  to hit.

OOC: Thanks for saving my bacon, Beldeth!

Still trying to smash a skittering centipede.

09:58, Today: Waverlin rolled 7,2 using D20,d6 ((7,2)).

No longer surprised or surrounded, Flit crushes a centipede with her bludgeon, "jerk!" she exclaims triumphantly, her first monster kill.

Today: Flit rolled 16, 6 using d20,d6 ((16,6)).

As the centipedes came at her Beldeth tensed, trying to use her bludgeon to keep them at bay while trusting her armor to stop any that got through.  She hissed in pain as one of them found a weak spot and sank its mandibles into her, drawing far more blood than she was happy to lose.

Having drawn their attention she tried to hold it, wielding her club against the attackers.

11:20, Today: Beldeth rolled 4 using 1d20 ((4)).

Flit and Moordenar each smash two of the bugs, leaving only 2.

They decided to go after Flit, the hard shell of Beldeth deterring them.  One bit her (3 damage.  Fun fact centipedes don't actually bite, their front legs are modified to inject poison.)

11:27, Today: Grand Master, for the NPC centipedes, rolled 2,23,4 using 2d4,2d20,2d6 with rolls of 1,1,17,6,3,1.  vs. FWBM

Seeing the critters return to Flit, Beldeth steps up her bludgeoning.

11:42, Today: Beldeth rolled 10 using 1d20 ((10)).
11:44, Today: Beldeth rolled 2 using 1d6 ((2)).

"HOLD STILL will you???"

14:48, Today: Waverlin rolled 8,1 using D20,d6 ((8,1)).

Moordenar II bludgeons like it's 1999 BC.

14:56, Today: Moordenar II rolled 6 using 1d20+1.  to hit.

Feeling vulnerable to sudden death, Flit quaffs one of the healing potions.  Apparently, the crappy one.

Today: Flit rolled 1 using 1d8 ((1)).

Beldeth's attack is deflected by the centipede's thick carapace.  The others just flat out miss.

The centipede Beldeth attacked, reflexively bites at her, but her 'thick carapace' saves her too. The other bites somewhere close to the direction of Waverlin, but really nowhere near.


13:13, Today: Grand Master, for the NPC centipedes, rolled 5,15,4 using 2d4,2d20,2d6 ((3,2,12,3,3,1))

*Smack*  Flit squeals with glee as she crushes a second centipede with her bludgeon.  "Take that!"

Today: Flit rolled 14, 6 using d20,d6.  Bludgeon centipede.

Despite her wounds, Beldeth had a look of excitement on her face as she tangled with the giant centipede.  Her club went wildly askew, striking the floor.

13:18, Today: Beldeth rolled 2,1 using 1d20,1d6 ((2,1)).

And again, Waverlin valiantly attacks the cavern floor.

16:23, Today: Waverlin rolled 7,5 using D20,d6 ((7,5)).

Moordenar II climbs back in the ring to take another swing.

17:39, Today: Moordenar II rolled 3 using 1d6+1.  Damage.
17:38, Today: Moordenar II rolled 12 using 1d20+1.  To hit.

Flit and Moordenar II squish the remaining centipedes.

You are at: Level Mine, Rt 5 Lost - A room 10x20 no exits

(OOC 80xp)

Flit offers Beldeth two of her food, eating her other three.  If others have not done so by the time she finishes eating, she will search.

(OOC:  Turns out that Flit did not find the DM's fact about poisonous centipedes to be entirely entertaining.  :D)

Moordenar II also searches.

As the battle came to an end, Beldeth nearly fell over.  The adrenaline had stopped coursing through her veins and the sensation of the poison in her was enough to make her weak.  "Oh, thank you Flit," she said, accepting the offered food without complaint.  She sat down and ate in relative silence, looking at the dead centipedes.

(( OOC: I always found this video by Clint's Reptiles about giant centipedes to be mildly terrifying.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?...el=Clint%27sReptiles ))

”Well…that went slightly better than the cavern with the ear seekers, didn’t it?”

(OOC: yes, that's the video I learned about the venom legs, and I'd say a bit more than mildly terrifying. Wouldn't touch one of those with a 10' pole let along a giant version.) 

Moordenar & Beldeth each find a secret door.

Mines/Caves Rt 4 lost - with nowhere to go but out they continue.  The door opens into a cave about 50'x70' a tunnel exits opposite, there's 64 gp scattered about the floor.

The remark drew a smile from Beldeth.  "I think I'll probably be feeling that bite for a few days, but yes, far better," she said.  "What's your strategy to defend against these vermin?  Some sort of metal skirt perhaps, to keep them away from the legs?"
