Combat round 3
Initiative: party 5, bad guys 3
Tasrem, being the quickest of the three casting spells this round, utters a seductive incantation. Suddenly, one of the trolls (T3) stops dancing, looks at the old mage, and smiles a big, offal eating grin. He takes a few steps toward the wizard, his pace quickening. Uh oh. We'll soon see if having a troll for a friend is any less dangerous than having one for an enemy.
Zelaz, seeing that T3 poses no imminent threat, redirects two of his magic missiles at the wyvern (3 hp dmg, 4 hp dmg). The beast cries out again, desperately straining against the web, the ice covering its body falling to the ground in pieces. The third magic missile knocks T1 to the ground (6 hp dmg). "I got nothing," the troll says in reply to Zelaz. Then it dies.
It appears Roikos has no hostile target for his hold person spell.
Taranna and Joffrey each step forward. They take turns plunging their swords through the web. The wyvern shudders, then slumps to the ground, dead.
The DM took a little license here, since the troll threat was quickly neutralized. Aristide would have been the first melee combatant to act, since he has the highest dexterity, but he doesn't strike me as the type who would get any closer to a wyrm than he has to. I figured the professional soldiers would have gone in, though. Man, the web spell as written is pretty powerful. It doesn't seem right that a 2nd level spell should be able to take down a large creature like a wyvern. I'll have to look into that.
Aristide 44/44
--Max 19/19
Tasrem 2/15
Taranna 24/34
Zelaz 15/15
Sir Joffrey 23/51
--Zephyr 15/19
Roikos 45/50
--Peny 14/16
The wyvern and its rider are dead. Two of the trolls are dead. One is man crushing on Tasrem.
Actions? Remember to deduct any spells used. Roikos still has use of his hold person spell.
Get thee to the dungeon. Get thee to the dungeon forthwith. Pass not the barbican. Amass not 200 GP.
