[DFRPG] Crawl! OOC

[Hide]

Bain checks for traps (12+1) 12, successful; he also recovers his arrows.

[Hide]

What do we see next? How is the place?

[ajardoor]

No traps ahead.
Gathika, spend the cost.

[PumpkinLorica]

Gathika spent 2 of her CP to buy the spells continual light and sunlight. Gathika uses her sunlight (14) spell to light the place once and for all!

She makes 3 tries:
3d6=16… fail.
3d6=17… critical fail.
3d6=9… Critical Spell Failure Table, mentally stun.
3d6=10… Recovers from mental stun (IQ-12).
3d6=9… sunlight finally succeeds!

[Hide]

As Gathika casts her spell, Bain readies for combat. He takes cover, camouflages (17) 13 and readies to attack; he makes stealth to further strengthen (14) 11 his position.

[vicious Violence]

Vic stands besides the elementals, with his crossbow ready and braces(held with two hands) after the first attack he will drop his crossbow (with the sling/free action) and attempt to fast draw his sword.

[ajardoor]

While Gathika was failing to cast and got stunned, the monster tried creeping up on the back of the line.

It rolled a 10, on Stealth-13, for a margin of 3. Whoever has the highest Per or Observation skill, roll that (at +1 for monster's SM), in a contest, to see if the monster succeeds.

After that, combat proper starts...

[Hide]

Bain notices the creature, as he wins the quick-contest; Observation (12+1):
Hide: 3D6*→*9(2 +5 +2)

He attacks!

[Hide]

Bain takes a DWA against the monster, shooting two arrows at once:

Shooting, successful.
Bow 10 (13+3+1-7: DWA, acc, aim, size, skull):
Hide: 3D6*→*7(2 +4 +1)

Damage: 2d+4 (2) IMP *4
Hide: 2D6*→*6(3 +3)+4
Hide: 2D6*→*12(6 +6)+4

Injury up to 96 HP, knockdown rolls at -10.

[ajardoor]

The Manticore does not achieve surprise, but it does have high Speed so it goes first.
