[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

[OoC: I think this only affects Tomeal but if you have multiple attacks you can make more than one grapple check a round. ]

Tomeal grumbles, "The battlefield is too crowded!  Can't move!"  

Selina sez: "...Just a touch busy at the moment, darling." *flutters her eyelashes as she wipes oversized vermin off her weapon.

"Worry not my love. [huff] I will be loose, [puff] in but a minute... [gasp]," he says while trying to speak as calmly as possible while struggling with giant bug on the side of his neck.

1st attack:  Tomeal Grapple: [1d20+11]=9+11=20, Small Crab: [1d20+8]=19+8=27; Tomeal Fails!     

The critter hangs on...

Tomeal continues to struggle with the creature...

2nd attack: Tomeal Grapple: [1d20+11]=6+11=17, Small Crab: [1d20+8]=17+8=25; Tomeal fails again!     How do they keep rolling so awesome for grapple checks?

At this point, Tomeal yells at Crozar, "KUBO!  CROZAR!  MOVE AWAY FROM THE SWARMS!"

Next Crozar's Turn...

Elphaga was still there, she had just turned herself invisible.  She moves another 5' then uses the same trick she used once before...  The old woman glances toward Tomeal and suddenly his field of vision becomes cloudy and his body becomes weightless.  "Move!" he suddenly hears within his mind.  "This will only last but a moment!"

Tomeal happily listens to the old woman's wise words and wills himself to move.  [Max distance is 10' during Elphaga's round]  There were a lot fewer places to move that would put him at an advantage, than would place him within munching distance of a creature.  So he floats 10' south and rematerializes [I-7] so he can hopefully flank with Betimi and her 'babies.'  He grimaces at the thought of the symbiotic critters.

[FYI: It takes a Full round action to summon Elementals.  So if Crozar does decide to summon, he will only be able to take a 5' step. ]
