Now the party is facing two of the bug creatures - Cedric, Otto and Bonner all hit their targets, including a solid hit from Cedric, but the bugs still stand.

The first bug is close enough now to attack with both of its claws and a bite, and it tears into poor Otto, who succumbs to the claw attacks and drops to the floor in a pool of blood!

The second bug tries to ensnare Bonner in its long feelers, but it fails to get a lasting hold on the stout Dwarf.

Status:

Both bugs are injured.
Otto appears to be dead!

Actions?

Code: Select all

+-----------+---------+
|Name       |HP       |
+-----------+---------+
|Bel'xor    |9/9      |
+-----------+---------+
|Bonner     |7/9      |
+-----------+---------+
|Schmidt    |6/6      |
+-----------+---------+
|Cedric     |7/8      |
+-----------+---------+
|Berthod    |8/8      |
+-----------+---------+
|Wennic     |3/3      |
+-----------+---------+
|Otto (RIP) |-3/6     |
+-----------+---------+
Mechanics:

Cedric vs. bug 1: d20+2 = 21 HIT for d8+1 = 8 damage
Bel'xor vs. bug: d20+2 = 3 MISS
Berthod vs. bug: d20+2 = 7 MISS
Otto vs. bug 1: d20 = 19 HIT for d6 = 1 damage
Bonner vs. bug 2: d20+3 = 16 HIT for d6+2 = 4 damage

Bug 1 vs. (d6 = 4 Otto) d20+2 x 3 (claw, claw, bite) = 19,17,6 2 HITS for 2d6 = 6 damage Otto is killed!
Bug 2 vs. (d6 = 5 Bonner) d20+2 (feeler grab) = 11 MISS

Bonner tries to interpose himself between Otto & the bug, stabbing the creature to attract its attention.

Drag him clear, lads. We might save him yet

Schmidt will attempt to drag Otto clear, if he can, and as long as Wennic continues to guard the rear.
But my guess is that the NPC missed its save :)

Cedric continues to hack at one of the bugs with his bastard sword.

Bel'xor screams "bug off" and attacks again.

Wennic will continue to guard the rear.

The party fights on. this time with more luck - Bel'xor and Bonner land fatal blows against the two bugs.

Schmidt drags Otto out of the room, but he is beyond help.

All is quiet.

Only classed/leveled NPCs get the save vs. death, so poor Otto as a level-0 meatshield did not get a save. If Wennic makes it out of delve #2 alive, he will be promoted to 1st level and have a bit more survivability :)

As a reminder, here is the room map. To the left and right of the entry door, there are two statues of a man in robes and pointy hat in action poses - one holding a wand out menacingly, one with hands up as if casting a spell. In front of you are two rows of pews, and on the far end of the room is a winding stair up to a balcony with a podium on top. There are doors south and north, and puddles of water on the floor throughout the room.

Funny that Otto goes before Wennic! Those 3HTKs have to be tempting for the DM :D
Reminds me of Holy Schmidt I, the OD&D cleric with 1 HP that made it to second level - for about 10 minutes of game time.
We still don't have a thief, right? Guess the cleric is up!

Avoiding the puddles, Schmidt walks closer to the balcony, keeping his eyes on the ceiling and stairway. I want to get a better look to see what's up, up there. ;)

Cedric moves towards the stairs and take a few steps up, listening for any more bugs.

Berthold inspects the statues. Looking for anything that might give a clue as to who or what they are.
