[WinterSpartan]

[I will admit to being unsure how much time for discussion you all want. Shall I proceed?]

[shraeye]

[I'm ready to proceed]

[Jorbles]

[Yeah, not much to say at the moment. Let's proceed. ]

[Kuildeous]

[The only thing I'd consider is stealth, but no one is skilled in that. I almost was, but that's long gone.]

Bravely we march forward. Keep an eye for ambushes.

[WinterSpartan]

As the party descends, weapons drawn, they notice strange marks on the ground in addition to the goblin footprints - holes in the ground that look as though they were left by spikes. Suddenly, several chittering armored creatures - like giant bugs - erupt from the ground to the north.

Kruthik Adults

AC 17, Fort 14, Reflex 15, Will 13
Adult kruthiks have fully developed tremorsense, able to find foes or weak areas in the ground merely by feel. Their snapping claws present a constant danger (a damaging aura), and can pack a punch. They also have venomous spines, which they use to poison and slow their victims. They can even propel these spines through the air.

Kruthik Young

AC 15, Fort 13, Reflex 14, Will 11
Young kruthiks are smaller, weaker, and faster than the adults. Their spines are not fully developed, so they are fully reliant on their claws in a fight.

The smaller creatures - "Kruthiks", according to Merik - cover the ground between themselves and the party with astonishing speed - though Veonis notices that they take a twisted, meandering path for no apparent reason. Merik, at the party's head, hefts his blade to meet them as they charge.

1st Kruthik Young:

Rolled 1d20+6 : 20 + 6, total 26

Rolled 1d8+2 : 4 + 2, total 6

2nd Kruthik Young:

Rolled 1d20+6 : 1 + 6, total 7

Rolled 1d8+2 : 2 + 2, total 4

[WinterSpartan]

Merik devotes his full attention to one of them, blocking every stroke of its claws. In doing so, though, he leaves himself open to the attacks of the other...



Veonis and Beleren are up. My apologies for the tiny size of the map - I'll zoom in once the adult kruthiks get closer. Sending info to Merik and Derath.

[Kuildeous]

What is the state of the terrain on the sides?

[Jorbles]

[Ouch, the crits turn against me. That one is dying first.]

[Gveoniz]

Veonis step forward and to the side, casting a spell on one of the incoming Kruthik.

Move to AG14
Misdirect mark on AC13

vs reflex

Rolled 1d20+4 : 3 + 4, total 7

damage

Rolled 1d8+4 : 6 + 4, total 10

[WinterSpartan]

What is the state of the terrain on the sides?

Right, sorry. Mostly just grass, but there's a steeper slope either side of the path (about columns 3 and 22) that counts as difficult terrain to cross going uphill. Going downhill it's as normal.

[Kuildeous]

I believe we're waiting for Beleren to do his action and then the critters?

[Grujah]

I guess these guys can't be reason with?

AD 15: Use level 1 firey-breath spell to catch them both.

Closer one: (vs ref)

Rolled 1d20+4 : 16 + 4, total 20

Other one:

Rolled 1d20+4 : 9 + 4, total 13

Rolled 1d8+7 : 1 + 7, total 8

[WinterSpartan]

Beleren is nipped by the creature as he stands close to it.

The adults advance, but - being slower - don't come close enough to immediately attack.

The rest of the party is up. (Also, Grujah, negotiation wouldn't work; they're beasts. Big ugly bug type ones, but beasts nonetheless.)

[Jorbles]

Minor action: mark the kruthik at AC13.
Move action: Shift to AD14
Standard action: Booming Blade at kruthik at AC14.

Attack vs AC:

Rolled 1d20+7 : 20 + 7, total 27

Damage:

Rolled 1d8+4 : 8 + 4, total 12

[Jorbles]

[Critted when I didn't need to.  ]

[Kuildeous]

[Man, Jorbles is on fire.

Also, the first post does not reflect that I spent a healing surge to get up to full.]

[Kuildeous]

Hroksull furrows his brow. What manner of creatures are these? Perhaps they are a test from Kord. The goliath must not disappoint the god of strength and battle. He warily kept an eye on the larger creatures. No doubt these will be harder to slay. Best to keep his strength up. The way that the claws lash about concerned him, but if he could strike solid, then the claws should not be a problem.

Move action: Move to AB12 by going NW first and then circling around to gain flank
Minor action: Quarry on AC13
Standard: Twin Strike on AC13

Damage 1d10+1 : 6 + 1, total 7
Hand axe 1d20+8 : 15 + 8, total 23
Damage 1d6+1 : 1 + 1, total 2
Quarry 1d6 : 2, total 2

[WinterSpartan]

[First post is now up to date. Kuildeous, Jorbles is awesome - but was that terrible pun intentional?]

[Derath is up.]

[Jorbles]

[Man, Jorbles is on fire.

[First post is now up to date. Kuildeous, Jorbles is awesome - but was that terrible pun intentional?]

[I'm actually still a pile of dirt. I take it these things are hurting us when we hit them with their spikiness or something?]

[WinterSpartan]

[More when you end turn next to them, but yes.]

[shraeye]

Derath becomes concerned with dealing with the little ones before the adults fall upon his allies, particularly Merik.

Attempting to push the others away from the Kruthiks, Derath chants two curses upon the creatures:

Minor action: Maledictor's doom.
Action: Whispers of Doom (on hit push AC13->AD12 and AC14->AB-14)
Attack rolls in that order:

Rolled 1d20+4 : 5 + 4, total 9
Rolled 1d20+4 : 7 + 4, total 11

[WinterSpartan]

[Oh, sorry - I misread that and thought Derath still had a standard action; thus the lack of updates. My mistake.]

The smaller insects scuttle about as the others - their parents? - approach, perhaps trying to keep the kill (and the meat) for themselves.

Vs. Merik:

Rolled 1d20+3 : 15 + 3, total 18

Rolled 1d8+2 : 2 + 2, total 4

Vs. Beleren:

Rolled 1d20+1 : 19 + 1, total 20

Rolled 1d8+2 : 3 + 2, total 5

[WinterSpartan]

Merik maintains his defense, but Beleren's attacker is successful beyond all expectations, shaking off the curse Derath chanted his way. (Perhaps because it doesn't understand language?)

[Gveoniz]

Veonis runs to the back of a Kruthik and strikes at it.
