CH. 04 - Written in Blood

[Daos]

As the sudden sinkhole appears, Seeboe, Chispa and Ha-Yun all manage to tumble into it.  Fortunately, it turns out to only be about ten feet deep, so they only suffer some minor scuffs and bruises on the way down.  Lady Dre and Proclaimer Ward also fall in, but Zencho is nimble enough to leap aside just in time.

Once those who have fallen in get to their feet and dust themselves off, they hear a soft scratching noise somewhere down there with them.  Before anyone can react, four disembodied hands emerge from the rubble and begin crawling on their fingertips toward the party; one toward Seeboe, one toward Chispa, one toward Ha-Yun and the last going for the Lady Dre and Proclaimer Ward.  "What in the Covenant's name are those things?" Ward demands in horror as the hands rush forward.



==================

Seeboe makes a DEX save [DC 15] (1d20+2):  12+2 = 14, fail.  He falls 10 feet taking (1d6):  6 bludgeoning damage.  Seeboe is moderately wounded.
RPtTILjz1d6
Chispa makes a DEX save [DC 15] (1d20+1):  12+1 = 13, fail.  She falls 10 feet taking (1d6):  5 bludgeoning damage.  Chispa is lightly wounded.
1d6
Ha-Yun makes a DEX save [DC 15] (1d20+4):  2+4 = 6, fail.  She falls 10 feet taking (1d6):  3 bludgeoning damage.  Ha-Yun is lightly wounded.
1d6
Zencho makes a DEX save [DC 15] (1d20+4):  16+4 = 20, pass.  He does not fall in; takes no damage.

(OOC:  Horizon, you actually made a DEX check, not a DEX save, so I fixed it; not that it made any difference, but just thought I'd mention it for future reference.

Everyone roll Initiative and state actions for Round 01.  Zencho is about five feet from the hole, but Vulpi is 15 feet back.  Everyone else is inside the ten foot deep hole.)

"Whatever they are, they are coming for us! And they don't seem too talkative, unless they use the sign language." Chispa answers Ward while asking for Quetzalcoatl blessing. As she does so her hand glows slightly blue and she turns it toward her friends one after another, warming their heart and increasing their moral.

Vulpi:
Initiative: zYh2mLRy1d20+3
(My interpretation of what you said is that everyone is now out of the hole is that right?)
If there are still people in the hole, Vulpi will help them out of it first through mold earth (as was stated previously) since their backpack, and therefore rope, is in the wagon. And two 5ft steps sounds significantly easier to climb than on 10ft step, this also allows Vulpi to remain 15 ft away from the hole.

Else everyone is out of the hole, then Vulpi will shoot at the closest dismembered hand: 

1d20+7 + 1d4 | If hit 1d8+3

Seeboe:
Initiative 1d20+2
I'm imagining the hands coming up from the hole everyone just got out of that is at their feet? So Seeboe is going to use Shillelagh and smack one:

Zencho jump around with a certain grace despite his rotund build.

 "...I cant comperhend what the universe wants to tell us with that.. but I guess the right thing to do is to fight!'
and try to wack one with his quartetstaff and then step on it.

Zencho is first to act, leaping down the hole and possibly spraining his ankle on impact, but he ignores the pain and somersaults over to the hand rushing toward Seeboe, completing destroying it with his staff.  Ha-Yun pales another to the ground with a crossbow bolt, and Lady Dre does likewise with her bow against a third.

With no other targets but the last one, Seebow draws his glowing club and swings at it, but it springs to the side, avoiding the blow.  While Vulpi shifts the ground to create a ramp so people can easily leave the hole, Proclaimer Ward casts a spell that misses the last hand, and Chispa prays to her deity for courage for Vulpi, Ha-Yun and Zencho.

I anticipate the combat will be over by the time Vulpi comes round, so they'll just continue molding earth to make it easier to get out, unless there is still the last one somehow where they'll just go up to the hole and shoothTnReJkJ1d20+7 + 1d4 (bless) if hit 1d8+3

"What are these things?" Ha Yun asks as she fires another bolt at the final hand.

"Bad spirits? Maybe the force that can control the farmers, can control severed limbs as well?" Chispa says and the thought gives her chills.

[Daos]

Ha-Yun reloads and fires her crossbow, impaling the last hand through the palm, skewering it.  It twitches before going still.

Vulpi will keep their bow in one hand and continue shaping the earth to make getting out easier with the other hand using mold earth.

"Well, that was disturbing," Ha Yun says.

[Igordragonian]

"I am starting to notice a pattern here." Zencho comment.
"I think... the land is sick.. or something parallel to that"

"Hmm... if you ever need 'working hands' now you know where to look."
