Swallowed Up

Post Friday Slot 2 The creature continues to drag Issachar back towards the cave .. his teammates watch as it does. ... what will they do to help Next Friday Slot 3 (I will be auto wrapping this up Saturday but it would be great for you guys to finish this out)

Issachar continues to struggle against the creature (CMB 13), but is unable to break free.  He slashes at it with his scimitar (Attack 19), scoring a weak cut (3 Damage) across an eyestalk.   Harsk bites at the creature again, but it's carapace deflects his ripping teeth (Attack 8, Miss).

Friday Slot 3 GM Post The ankheg tries desperately to drag Issachar back into its chambers but it is unsuccessful .. it takes several kicks to the head with issachar's boot and growls menacingly.  It was determined to take him back into its lair to consume him slowly but it has become agitated.   Next Saturday Slot 1 

Friday Slot 3:  Issachar, fearful for his life, enters a state of rage that always comes over him when something is trying to kill him (Rage round 1) and begins slashing wildly with his scimitar (Attack 22) tearing another deep gash in the beast's side (Damage 7).  The beast releases his hold and Issachar breaks free from his grasp (CMB 19), but is unable to move away from it. Harsk, seeing the creature is severely damaged, darts in and grabs it in his powerful jaws, shaking it until the beast is dead (Attack Bite 21, Damage 3).

After checking on Kizzak and the rest of the party, Issachar searches the cave system thoroughly.

Sorry for being missing from this thread, it could not be helped

With the ankhegs killed, the party was able to search the cave system thoroughly.  They located a nest of items that the ankhegs must have collected along with small sets of bones that can be identified as humanoid.   The skulls are reptilian in nature leading the party to believe they are kobolds.  Some iseful items are found within the nest.   Reward  1 mp "CHOICE A [25 gp] arcane scroll of enlarge person (CL 1) [25 gp] divine scroll of bless (CL 1) [25 gp] divine scroll of cause fear (CL 1) [25 gp] arcane scroll of sleep (CL 1) [25 gp] divine scroll of summon nature's ally 1 (CL 1) CHOICE B [40 gp] ivory bowl with animal carvings [30 gp] set of six ivory dice [60 gp] ivory drinking horn with copper ends CHOICE C [50 gp] potion/oil of protection from evil (CL 1) [50 gp] potion/oil of shield of faith (CL 1) [25 gp] potion/oil of arcane mark (CL 1)" This thread is closed.
