A Bigger Anteater

Climbs down the rope behind everyone else. She has a tough time of it, though. It's obviously not something she does often. // Climb check: 8

Viggo, Zordlon what are you waiting for? Just mix the two bottle and get out of here. I'll watch your back. If we're here any longer  the ants would notice the light from the sunrod.

-GM SLOT 1 Thursday -  As you scan the room looking for a good, flat spot to set the flask, you keep an eye on the movement of the 2 ants in the back who seem to be minding there own business.  You locate a spot to set the flask down on but as you try to ease forward the ants become alerted to your presence and combat starts. Next Post - Player's Slot 2 Thursday - (You may post early if you'd like)  - Initiative time - ((OOC: and options:  Setting down the large flask is a move action and popping the cork is a move action.  The vial takes a standard action to pour into the flask. ))

As the ants approaches, Kid instinctively shot one of them. Unfortunately the bullet only grazed the leg of the ant. He then quickly reload his musket with a paper catridge.  Viggo, Zordlon mix it faster! They are approaching us! //ooc, readied attack 13(touch) Damage 2(sad), Initiative for first turn 13(standard action)//

Slot 1 Moves up and prepares the flask. Only one action available, 5' step and flask action. Initiative 6

Eilife notices the ant's moving toward them and let's loose a blue bolt of eldritch energy in an attempt to keep them back long enough to plant the flask. // Initiative: 15 (Full action) // Attack: 7 Damage: 5

Move action 10 ft to the flask ) "Keep Them off us! Or at least distract them. Either works really." Zordlon quickly gets over to the flask so he can pop the cork and pour it.

Slot 2 With a look to Zordlon, he pops the cork. "Ready" Viggo then moves to the bottom of the rope. Edit: I've missed a slot :/

Zordlon quickly follows suit and pops the cork and pours the elixir into the flask "I'll be right behind you viggo."

- GM  SLOT 2 - As Zordlon pours the elixir into the flask it seems to almost instantly start bubbling and boiling and thin wisps of a thick greenish gas start to rise inside the flask and pour over the side.  Meanwhile, the 2 ants run forward to engage Zordlon, both of them attacking with their stingers but only one connecting. -Players next post, SLOT 3 - ((OOC: Climbing the rope in a hurry is a DC 10, no check needed if using in the octogrips. ))

Directs another eldritch bolt toward the ants.  "Hurry up already!" // Attack: 10 Damage: 2

Well. I rolled a neat 23 on my acrobatics. and I use my standard to climb the rope with my 14.) "Don't worry I'm fine not like the ants stingers can poison you or anything.... Wait a minute..." Zordlon then procceds to dive away from the ants and climb the rope. (if the kid gets to run I get to run)

Seeing the elixir starts bubbling, Kid run to the opening and start climbing out with his octogrip. Come on Zordlon! Climb!

SCOURGE throws another rope into the tunnel, hoping to pull another person out of the pit. GRAB ROPE. SCOURGE PULL. (( OOC SCOURGE is going to pull whoever grabs the rope out of the pit 16 STR check))

Ellie grabs the rope. // My move action

More and more green smoke pours out of the flask as the party makes for the ropes.  The ants lurch forward but one inhalation of the gas causes them to become staggered and they fall to the ground, a choking chittering death call on their lips.  As the party gathers safely outside the cave, they can hear the horrific death cries of many ants.  Suddenly the ground starts to rumble and shake a little.  The party instinctively takes a few steps backwards as the Queen and 2 Drones, coated lightly in the green gas, burst out of the hive opening, apparently able to overcome some of the effects of the poison. - Next Post - Players Slot 2 - And one last initiative

SCOURGE waits for an ant to approach, and then swings with all its might, slamming the staff into one of the creatures, but not breaking through their tough shells. ((OOC holding with a 17 to hit and 18 damage, which is a miss *sigh*))

Ellie prepares to propel eldritch energy at any approaching ants. // Attack : 8 Damange: 6

Slot 2 Viggo moves up and attacks a drone. Cutting into it's shoulder. Initiative 10 Attack 23 for 8 damage

Kid run to the back row behind Zordlon and Scourge. He carefully aim his musket at one of the ants. The bullet hits through the ant's shell, injuring it. //ooc initiative 18, attack 12(touch), and  6 damage//

- GM Post Slot 2 - The ants move forward and swing, 2 at Viggo, 1 at Scourge, but being a little subdued by the gas causes them to miss with every attack.

SCOURGE steps forward, and swinging on the nearest ant, dealing two heavy blows, crushing the armored insect. ((OOC flurry- attack 25, 19 damage, and 20 attack for 23 damage . AOO for whatever moves, preferably the injured one - Attack: 13, Damage 16. miss *cries*))

Kabril, hearing the sounds of battle inside, decides to join the fray.   The large plant child seems an interesting specimen. It would be a shame if something happened to her.   So he steps up to the smaller ant and unleashes a torrent of fire from his spread fingertips (ooc: Kabril casts Burning Hands for 3 damage.  Both ants get Reflex for half damage.  Queen Saves (15), Drone Fails (3))

Slot 2  Zordlon goes up to the ant drone and attempts to run it through any damage actually done however is purely superficial. (terrible roll)

Slot 3 Viggo continues to hack into the slow beast, ending it. Early post because I will be busy tonight. 19 to hit and 11 damage. 2 stamina spent (my blue circle) I don't see any HP / AC on the queen

Slot 3: Seeing the drone go down, Kabril considers his options for attacking the larger ant.  Coming up with very little, he fires a beam of fridgid energy at the beast (ooc// Ray of Frost Ranged Touch Attack 19, 3 Damage).

Slot 3 Zordlon once again hits an ant and once again does literally nothing except scratch its chitinous armor (missed by 1 :P)

The Ant Queen flaps her wings and tries to take to the air, but the gas has shriveled them, and they do not work, so instead, in rage, she lashes out at the 2 creatures nearest her.  She bites at Zordlon, taking a chunk out of him while stabbing her stinger at Viggo, but it bounces off his armor. ((8 damage to Zord, attempt to grapple fails))

Slot 3: Scourge swings twice once again, hitting with the backswing for a heavy blow to the ant queen. ((miss and a hit with 25, for 18 damage, AOO hit a AC 20, 20 damage))

Contingency Zordlon tries hit the ant queen and this time a miracle happens he actually connects and does a decent job carving a chunk out of the queen wait..... did he kill it? is that possible? I mean this is Zordlon! "That's for trying to eat me. Elves are not food!" Zordlon kicks the carcass for good measure (22 to hit with a 9 for damage)

Well seems like the threat has been eliminated. We should search the cave for possible loot if you want.

WAIT TIME. GAS BAD. HURT HUMAN.

We should make a camp here then.

The group sets up near by and enjoys a long relaxing lunch.  A few hours later they are able to approach the hive and find that the gas has all dissipated.  They carefully move through the whole hive, to make sure that all the ants are dead.  As they do so, they find a few things worth keeping.  The adventure complete, the party returns to town and informs Agela of their success.
