♬ Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold

WHO || Anyone in England! [open]
WHAT || Monster slayage
WHERE || All around London, England
WHEN || Nighttime, Tuesday, April 17th to morning of April 18th. Following this.
HOW || Actionspam

While the senior Knights head for the last known location of the Greater Fihyr beast, the rest of the on-call Knights are encouraged to spread out through heavily populated areas, looking for the smaller versions of the things and wiping them out before sunrise takes care of the remainders. As easy as that makes it sound, if a number of the fear-generated monsters are allowed to converge, they'll form up into another Greater Fihyr: which don't have the same vulnerability to daylight as their lesser parts.

Stay safe, travel in groups!

[ooc; please wait for threads to be up!   threads are up!  tag away!

you are free to tag your characters into any of the threads below and choose your partners or groups as you go \o\ All fihyrs will be NPCed with this mod account! Now's a great chance to test out all those new combat rules we just learned, amirite? ;D Also, for the purposes of this log, you are FREE TO ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER LIVES unless you want to maintain the suspense of me letting the dice fall where they may to your potential peril. If you choose the latter option, please put a subject line of 'let the dice fall where they may' and refrain from tagging into any posts dated after this one until we get through your encounter!

[Andie still has no confidence, but that's not gonna stop her from acting. Especially since she can move faster than she can think. With a shout, she leaps into action, zooming over rapier first and slamming it into the jellyfish (atk nat 20, damage 10).]

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster's not as quick as his female companion, but he does dive in to the chaos. Unfortunately, he's a bit rusty. He swings his morningstar at the beast, but just misses (attack: 16)]

Damn it all!

omg guys sry i lost this!! 8(

[ A number of hideous golden eyes begin rolling in place, trying to settle on the blur that just stabbed RIGHT INTO ONE OF THEM, and its mouth opens to let out a shriek, revealing lines of needle-sharp hideous teeth. It naturally tries to nip at her first, and gets a really lame crit sinks its fangs into her arm... for all of 2 hit points damage, yep.

That'll count as the surprise round... and it rolled a 12 init. Andie got a 22, Thoster can plug in wherever he rolls! And actually, the creature was flat-footed last round, which your GM forgot, so a 16 would hit, so lemme know damage for that too, yes. ]

/judges forever

[Andie lets out a yelp of pain as the thing bites her, then swings around to hack at it again with her sword. She's distracted by the pain, so this time she misses (atk 7). She looks over at Thoster anxiously.]

Help?

[bluffcheck]

[Thoster's initiative is a lowly 13, which apparently makes him barely quicker than the beaties. And he apparently did 10 damage last round, so that's cool.

Seeing Andie hack at the creature when it latches onto her, he rushes over to her and brings his morningstar down on the creature (Atk 21 total, 8 damage)]

[herebemonsters]

[ It tries too late to detach its fangs from Andie and spin around towards Thoster, and his morningstar cracks into its weird gelatinous form with enough force to send it whizzing through the air and slamming into the ground, near the foot of some more screaming locals, who run as fast as they can from the scene.

It settles inward on itself as if deflating a bit, and the darting eyes on all sides of it begin to still, until each one stares out lifelessly at nothing. ]

[asap]

[Andie's breathing hard, which is unusual for her, but the excitement's getting to her. She looks over at Thoster with wide eyes, then over at the dead monster, then finally she grins and lets out a victorious shout.]

YES! Go us! [In a flash, she's next to him and holding her hand up for a high five.]

[bluffcheck]

[His blood is definitely pumping, but when Andie holds up her hand, Thoster just looks at her, slightly confused.]

Aye, we did it. But be on the look out. He might have friends.

[asap]

Yeah, I'm ready. [She still has her hand up, but he clearly doesn't know what to do with it. She waits expectantly for a moment, then takes pity on him.] You slap my hand. It's called a high five. It's like, celebrating us being awesome.

[bluffcheck]

[He looks again at her palm, then down at his own hand. He lifts it up and gives her his first high five.

Thoster is no longer a high five virgin.

Mark the calendar.]

[asap]

[She's so proud. She grins at him, then glances around.] There might be more. We should probably go see.

[bluffcheck]

Aye. [He agrees with a serious nod before turning to sweep the area.]
