Delve #2

[jcftao]

Cedric moves to south side of the doorway, readying his bastard sword and hoping to surprise the creatures as they move through it!

[JimboJimbo]

At Bonner’s yell, Berthold places his lantern on the floor and draws his sword to engage. What kind of dragon? he asks as he prepares for melee.

"A big one," Bonner shouts to Berthold, "and he brought his mum!"

[greyarea]

Berthold glances at Bonner eyes wide and then his eyes flick to the staircase. He scowls, having made his decision, and stands his ground.

Two dragons?...

Well, one of them is getting the blade of his fatherless sword!

[Magremore]

Otto will follow Bonner's lead and hurl his spear at the beasts as well.

Bel'xor motions Wennic to follow him to the Northwest corner of the room, to flank, and maybe surprise, the beasts if/when they enter the room.

[rredmond]

Schmidt makes sure he's ready with his flail, preparing for the onslaught, but not getting in the way of any missileers.

The cleric also stays out of the way of any of the stronger, more damage dealing members of the party. And hugs a wall so as not to ruin the "surprise" that the creatures are coming into.

[merias]

I'm using the following map tokens, and getting rid of the blood trail to avoid clutter:

Bx - Bel'xor
Bo - Bonner
S - Schmidt
C - Cedric
Be - Berthold
W - Wennic
O - Otto
L - Lizards

Also assuming the spear throwers (Bonner, Otto) will wait until the lizards are 20' away to throw, that being the range of spears without penalty (but they can throw up to 40' at -2 if you prefer).



If all looks OK, I'll get started!

[rredmond]

Looks fine to me.

[JimboJimbo]

Bonner will throw his spear at the earliest opportunity.

[Magremore]

Yep, OK

[merias]

The lizards continue to advance side-by-side. As they draw closer, you can see their darting tongues and rows of sharp teeth set into their wide jaws. Each has six legs, a short but wide tail, and stands about three feet tall and eight feet long.

Bonner throws his spear at first opportunity, but it flies wide and glances off the north wall about 45' down the corridor.

Otto waits a bit longer, and it seems this tactic wins out as his spear sinks into the flank of one of the lizards, wounding it.

As the lizards advance towards Bonner and Otto, what do you do? Will they rush east into melee, or back into the room to allow those waiting to also join melee? Will you try to surround the lizards? Flee perhaps???!!?? Let me know your tactics!

Status:

One lizard is wounded.
