Shrieker Round 3 ~ And Spongy, Too
Continued From Shrieker Round 2 - Big & Passive
Summary
Shrieking continues. Lothar and Engelhart hit.
Original Page
The DM: The creature undulates as though it is in pain, but it continues to scream nonetheless, as this is a reflex. Engelhart's Beast Forms ability tells you that the creature's scream is designed to draw creatures to the shrieker, to create a melee that results in death and carrion.
Pandred will take 1 damage from incidental damage. Lothar gets hit hard with one of the creature's arms, taking 3 damage. Engelhart takes none.
The DM: Starting off.
For the first tick, EX awarded as follows: Embla (120); Engelhart (22); Lothar (70). Pandred did not take part.
For the second tick, which Engelhart killed by himself: XP 99.
According to my totals, the cleric is 8 XP from 4th level. His hit just now will put him over, when this fight is done.
XP totals for the player characters: Embla (3843); Engelhart (5993); Lothar (5821); Pandred (4721).
I'll start tracking the XP for the end of this shrieker fight now.
Lothar: Lothar swings again.
Attack: 9+1(Bless)=10, hits AC 8
Damage: 6
Valda throws a dagger.
Attack: 3. Oh well.
Engelhart: I keep on the pile drive.
Attack Roll: 16.
Damage Roll: 1.
What a letdown. I move into 1109 to make room for Embla.
Embla: [I am so sorry - I took sleeping meds last night and just woke up]
I move into 1110, which takes all of my AP.
The DM: We've lost Pandred.
I hate to make everyone wait overlong; if the combat at the moment were tense, I'd wait for sure, but given that the thing doesn't attack ... I'll have Pandred fall back a round so she doesn't take incidental damage. She can pick up again next round.
The DM: The next round is up.
