Round 6

OOC: I moved Silver to the north so that he could have line of sight on the enemy. Let me know if you disagree with that choice.

"That thing is hideous!" Kestrell yells as he takes one step north to get a shot at it around Selinae before backing all the way up to the western wall.

Selinae shuddered as she fired off another arrow. She felt a strange pity for the creature but hoped that she was putting an end to its suffering rather than adding to it. But she knew she wanted to get no closer to it no matter what as her skin crawled as she hunkered into the shadows again.

Selinae fired again, almost deperately....this thing was wrong....then moved south as far as she could.

Bow Attack: 14 Damage: 7 + Sneak Attack 11

Kestrell draws another arrow, aims and fires at the hideous thing!

Attack: 5, damage: 18.

Then he runs around Silver, back to the western wall and as far south as he can get (30').

"I recognise that thing, it is called a Gibbering Mouther. They are spawned where the Holy Mothers magic has been misused. It is truly an abomination we must vanquish. Everybody, do not let it get near you as it can twist your mind and incapacitate you. They have also been known to throw magic bolts short distances, which explode on impact."

Silver just draws another arrow "Of course it is..." he says just letting the information just sink in "Any good weaknesses we should know about?" with that he lets the arrows go.

OOC:

Attack: 14 Damage: 9

Round 7

Phaedra calls out "I recognise that thing, it is called a Gibbering Mouther. They are spawned where the Holy Mothers magic has been misused. It is truly an abomination we must vanquish. Everybody, do not let it get near you as it can twist your mind and incapacitate you. They have also been known to throw magic bolts short distances, which explode on impact."

Selinae fired again, almost desperately....this thing was wrong....then, after seeing her arrow slam into the creature, she moved south as far as she could.

Kestrell draws another arrow, aims and fires at the hideous thing! Unfortuantely the strike was a touch high and sails over the creature. Then he runs around Silver, back to the western wall and as far south as he can get (30').

Silver just draws another arrow "Of course it is..." he says just letting the information just sink in "Any good weaknesses we should know about?" with that he lets the arrows go, impacting the creature in one of it's mouths.

The gibbering mouther continued to scream as it drug itself forward some more. You're sure it can't stand up to much more but the sheer wrongness of the creature made it difficult to tell.

OOC: Please be aware of line of sight for ranged attacks

Kestrell runs back up to Silver, steps in front of him and launches an arrow: 23, damage 7.  Then he steps behind the pillar right next to him.

"I don't think so..."

Phaedra backs  up to the wall behind her and gets ready to cast toll of the dead as soon as she sees it come around the pillar. 

OCC: Ready spell Toll the Dead

WIS save 13 or take 8 damage.

Elon steps into line of sight with the creature and let's a bolt from his crossbow fly.

Attack: 9 Damage: 5

Elon will search out the rest of the room to make sure they got all the creatures and check for anything unusual or interesting.

Investigate 18

Perception 21

Selinae breathed heavily, " Well...that was horrific."

"Abominations are... and they are blight on everything Mystra holds holy" Phaedra says in agreement. 

"I think there steps over hear"

Kestrell checks the two rooms in the back to make sure they are clear of unfriendlies.

Perception: 23

If they are clear, he will join Phaedra at the stairs.  Do they go up or down?  Any light coming from them?

Silver just puts away his bow as he looks around "How exactly are they created?" he asks looking at Phaedra as he begins to search the area for any potential traps or hidden doors.

OOC:

Investigation check: 3

"It is hard to say, as there are a few theories. Either way, they are a product of foul magic that is a blasphemy before the eyes of Mystra. Same sages say they are a result of those who have used strange magic and have been touched by a place called the Far Realm, an alien place that not only corrupted there minds but bodies as well.

It is a worry, but not a surprise, that such an evil is hidden away below Waterdeep. My church will need to be informed, as if they grow to a large enough size they will split and become two. So this may not be the only one near here..."

OCC: Hope that is ok Webgambit as you did say Phaedra knows everything there is about this creature and I would imagine they are a beast that a priestess of Mystra would hunt down.

OOC: merging everyone's investigation and perception checks together. There's nothing hidden here.

As you look around the area you don't find anything else of note. Mismatched stonework on either side of a half-demolished wall indicates that this area was once two separate chambers. The room to the far north east used to be a wine cellar. Its walls are lined with piles of rotting wood (storage racks) and broken bottles. The room to the south of it was once a cold storage room and root cellar, this empty chamber is choked with dust and cobwebs.

The stairs go up. There's no light coming in from them. A glance up the stairs shows they lead to a bricked-up doorway.

OOC: Phaedra: perfectly ok, you're doing great!

"That is fascinating, Phaedra.  How do you know so much about these things?"

" Should I go and remodel that doorway?"
