[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

Betimi moves the 5' fcloser [move action], and a stroke of lightning lances down, but it only grazes the creature because she didn't quite position it properly.

Lightning Strike [3d6] = 4 4 damage Refl. for 1/2 DC:16

[OoC:  Wow!  That is a really bad roll!    ]

Betimi moves toward the flash and crouched among the burning vegetation she spots one of the creatures.  She points at the beast and with a bright flash a jagged bolt of lightning crashes down upon the creature.  But the wary creature rolls with the blast, leaving its flank slightly singed.

Reflex save: [1d20+8] = 15+8 = 23; Succeeded; Damage: +2

Monster A: Succeeded; Coat! Very unconscious!
Monster B: Failed; UNCONSCIOUS!
Monster C: Failed; UNCONSCIOUS!
Monster D: Succeeded; 9 damage!

Dog runs over to Selina and takes a position at her side.

The creature makes a few alien mewling sounds from pain but then opens its many toothed vertical mouth.  Through the smoke you see a bright red light appear deep inside it's throat.  Suddenly a high-pitched, beam of bright energy fires out of its mouth and Tomeal yells when it burns a hole into his chest! [11 DAMAGE!]

Range touch attack: [1d20+6] = 15+6 = 21, Damage: [3d6] = 11

Suddenly through scent and vibration, Ning/Nang detects two more creatures enter the area of their blindsight (60').  Just as he's about to warn the group, three more high-pitched beams of energy blast Tomeal, burning holes in his arm, leg and collar bone!!  [+28 damage!!]  

Range touch attack: [1d20+6] = 14+6 = 20, Damage: [3d6] = 8; HIT!
Range touch attack: [1d20+9] = 18+9 = 27, Damage: [3d6] = 12; HIT!!
Range touch attack: [1d20+9] = 4+9 = 13, Damage: [3d6] = 8; HIT!!!


Tomeal yells in pain as the beams turn flesh to ash.  He's staggering but amazingly he's still standing!  [39 total DAMAGE!] 

Initiatives for ROUND 3:  SPOT CHECKS AGAIN!  [These spot checks are only while you're in the dense vegetation.  Once you're in the clearing, you can see as well as your light or darkvision permits.  Also, if your range of sight reaches the burnt out area, you can see into it because most of the matter that was obstructing your view is now burnt away.]
