Seeing the sudden attack and realizing his companion was hit, Matteo is assaulted by fear. But fear quickly turns into rage. He turns in the direction of the second beast, the one far from Ashtelion, and starts waving his right hand while mumbling misterious words in a forgotten language. A small green sphere forms in his hand and darts towards the centipede. Acid Splash Ranged attack: natural 20 (Wow!) 3 dmg Critical 17+3dex=20 (SuperWow!) 1 dmg
Avan sighs as he sees what happened and how it could have bee prevented.
Stepping back 5 feet Avan aims at the rearing centipede's exposed areas and fires two arrows systematically and quickly.
Ranged(+5 -2): 21, 14 (rapid shot (I forgot about the -2 against the shadows but it wouldn't make a difference.))
Damage: 4, 1
Matteo shoots acid at the centipede before him and hits. The acid quickly eats threw the chinks in the centipedes armor. It hisses writhing around and then dies.
The centipede that reared up in front of Avan is shot down quick. Avan's arrow penetrates the centipedes weaker belly area with ease. It hisses for a moment falling to the ground, dead.
"I did it! I did it! The forbidden spells are powerful indeed!", thought Matteo seeing the body of the centipede burned by his magical acid. It was the first time he used magic for harmful meanings. The Magic Academy in Yowok forbid the study of offensive spells and he learned the few actually in his spellbook after fleeing from the school. The empty scroll case in his backpack contained a special scroll filled with some of the forbidden spells he now could master. In the other scroll case stays a letter from his mentor, a letter that he should have destroyed since the beginning of his journey had he followed the instructions of Master Ignazio. But that was the only thing that remembered him of his home and the last words he would ever hear from his mentor.
"With this new knowledge I can now face any kind of danger", thought the bald man feeling shivers running down his backbone. Switching the club back to his right hand, he prepared himself, ready to react to any sign of danger from the explorers and the dogs.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Oliron, I'm having serious problems in posting on this board. I'm in an internet point right now but I will not be able to come here often. I would like to give you some general hints just in case I will not be posting for some time. Matteo will just wait for somebody to open the way. If more centipedes will show up before the party enters the cave he well get at range distance (10 feet) and throw his club. If not, he will follow the party in the cave. In any case, he will not use his daggers: he cannot allow his precious set to be soaked by the vermin's interiors (who said magicians are not eccentric?). Thank you.
Avan says "Well done, but next time think for a second. You lost us some coin on the chitin plating." As he talks he moves his had across the roughened exoskeleton of the acid burned centipede.
He quickly snaps his head around and re-prepares his bow as he crouches and enters the cave.
Hide(+8) = 13
Listen (+1) = 5
Move Silently(+8) = 14
Spot(+3) = 13
He motions for Asthelion to come and tells the rest, "We will scout ahead 50 ft then come back and signal you to follow. Then we scout again and we keep going like so."
Out of Character:: I will need to learn to roll the member wars dice before I continue my character's actions, it will take a while to figure that out though. Is it too late to roll the dice to try?
