FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE
(I/C)
“M-e-r-d-e… I… tought… de… mask.. would… prevent… de… slow… effect,” Wyn said, painfully slow, looking around. He glanced down at the cup in his hand and said, “De… rest… of… us… can’t… get… slowed…”
Shoving his torch forward, Kovid asked, “Elf-friend, can you make it to the door?”
“I… would … go… to … de… nord… door,” he said pointing, “… so… I… can … use… de arrow…”
Giving one of them close to her a kick, Lyra agreed, “Someone should also help Wyn get the fuck out of here.”
“If… we… have… more… fire… let’s… eidder… burn… dem… or… trois… of… us… rush… de… nord… door… like… someone… suggested.”
Abraxas pointed around at the encroaching foliage. “Lo primero es lo primero!” He looked around, taking a deep breath. Sliding his Scythe onto his back strap, he looked like he was going to rush a pair of the archer bushes.
"Large and in charge Abraxas,” Lannis called out, flipping open Mirabellis’ spell book. “Before you get anywhere near the poison let me try something." A bust of pink and blue vapors settled around the Fighter before fading from sight. “A bit of Water Breathing. Be careful, it only lasts a full day. Might let you pass through the vapors unharmed.”
“Gracias!”
Wyn pointed across the chamber, “The… other…. three… rush… to… the… ballista!”
“Let’s go, people!” Kovid smacked the Archer bush with his torch and then took off, running hard (Free hit. <+3 to hit, White 7), getting tripped up but he kept his feet, dwarf dodging around the fountain. Lyra followed (Free hit. <+3 to hit, White 11) shield smashing the closest bush aside as she ran. Brendon was right behind, the Scout keeping pace, blocking with his short sword. “All this running around is making me thirsty!”
"Amigos, time por bushes a fly! Vayas long! Touchdown! Y el crowd vayan loco!" The Fighter charged the two closest Archer bushes and jammed his hands deep into their center (Ok..BX Baby, double grapple and carry to the trough, -4 crazy, <Str 11 – yes!!). He felt their main trunks and branches and lifted, both bushes (>+7 to hit, touch attack, +2 BX baby, +1 bless, Blue 14…Extra Attack >+7 to hit, +2 BX baby, +1 bless, White 6) up as he charged the doorway and turned left.
Both of the Archer bushes ripped and tore at Abraxas, writhing wildly (>+3 to hit, +4 grapple range, Green 13…<+3 to hit, +4 grapple range, Green 6), one of them raking painful bloody lines in his forearm and wrist (1d4 Damage, Red/Black 2 – Take 2 Damage!). As he drew closer to the tub, the bushes were going frantic to get free but the vapors weren’t affecting them. “Bath time!!” He hoisted them up as they reached down to try and hold the floor with roots and tendrils (Combative Str check: White 7 (under 11) vs Red/Black 20 (auto fail)), but he roared and dunked them both in.
And as soon as they got a small amount on them, they ceased to move and became frozen. “Ah ha!!” He dragged them to the side and dumped them flat on the floor by the tub, making sure he didn’t get any of the liquid on him. He was breathing fine, the gas mist not affecting him. “I think your spell worked, Senor Lizard!”
(Burning oil fire: Pink 1 – 1 more damage).
The others in the room tried to chase after the running three or attacked Lannis and Wyn. The closest gave a lurching attack at the wizard and his image (<+3 to hit, Black 1 – Fumble. Fuck it, fell into the fire. Pink 1), but touched the marble path, and then recoiled so hard, it stumbled into the archer bush already burning and got singed for the effort.
One made an attack at Wyn (<+3 to hit, +2 slow, Black 8), but even in his current state, the elf was able to avoid any real damage. “Nice…try!”
Brendon had a trailing archer bush sweep out at the Scout (<+3 to hit, Green 8) but was able to dodge the easy attacks. And Kovid faced off with the large one over here (<+3 to hit, Yellow 10), his torch driving it back from getting a good swing on him.
