Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-2

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-1 DC 10 dex check to be quick enough good luck and gets 13." [1d20=14]

With an instinct borne of pure desperation, Lord Flasheart grabs the edge of the stair! He hangs on by one hand, dangling just above a gaping doom! The two heads are flying about now, chaos breaking out!

Initiative here.

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 head 1 and gets 10." [1d20=10]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 head 2 and gets 17." [1d20=17]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-1 Flasheart and gets 4." [1d20=5]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 Euphy and gets 12." [1d20=11]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 VAMPIRE GIRRL and gets 1." [1d20=1]

Initiative is: Head 2>Euphy>Head 1>Flasheart>Satsuki.

The second snake-headed head seems quite vicious, turning it's course and flying at Euphy! This one isn't headbutting, oh no, it's biting with all it's snaky hair snakes!

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 bite and gets 6." [1d20=5]

But Euphemia is better than that, sidestepping the massive overbite of the flying snake head! It goes a bit past her after, soaring through the air with deceptive, magical ease!

Euphy is up.

[Corwin]

"We'll do something about the head attacking you," Euphemia decides, her voice commanding as she aims the crossbow at her stated target. "Use that chance to pull yourself up and get across!"

Once the bolt is away, another is loaded in its stead, so that she would be ready to defend herself without delay.

+2/1d10/19-20 x2

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 snipe and gets 15." [1d20=13]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 2." [1d10=2]

With a quick shot, Euphy downs another snake-head! It bursts into snakes that rain down into the chasm!

Initiative is now:

Initiative is: Head 2>Euphy>Flasheart>Satsuki.

You're up, Eb.

[Ebiris]

Flasheart does his best to pull himself up to the stairs and then hurry along to what's hopefully safety ahead.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 DC 10 climb to haul self up and gets 12." [1d20=11]

With his chest and muscles straining, Lord Flasheart manages to pull himself back up atop the stairway! He is no longer about to plummet to his untimely second demise!

Satsuki, you're up.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin swivels about to load and fire a second shot towards the head pestering the girl, but avoids shooting it straight away, her eyes narrowed in dark suspicion. She positions herself such that should the head come flying towards her, it could overshoot itself and wind up suspended over the chasm again.

OOC: Readied action to shoot it when/if it's over the void. No, I don't want to be right next to the pit, probably 10 feet away or so.

[Anastasia]

The snake-head whirls back around, soaring through the misty air! It goes back over the chasm, rocketing for Flasheart!

Sacchin, you can make your held action if you like. Do you?

[Carthrat]

Sacchin releases her arrow, sending it hurtling towards the offending head!

[14:35:10] <+Nao> roll 1d20+6 shootage 3, return of shootage
[14:35:11] * +Hatbot --> "Nao rolls 1d20+6 and gets 8." [1d20=2]

[Anastasia]

Fortune is not with Flasheart or Sacchin, as her arrow misses the head at it slams at the still rapier-less nobleman!

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-1 medusa head and gets 13." [1d20=14]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 Flasheart and gets 12." [1d20=11]

Eb, I'm going to assume you try and grab the edge of the stair again, since there's little point in falling helplessly to your doom. If this is overreaching on my part, feel free to smack me about it.

Again Flasheart is hit! Luck is again not with him, as he finds himself tumbling over the edge! Only his wily instincts can try and save him now!

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-1 dex check flasheart and gets 15." [1d20=16]

His skill is as good as his word, letting him grab the edge with both hands this time! But once again he dangles over the edge, between life and death!

Euphy, you're up. Good luck.

[Corwin]

Must she do everything, Euphemia wonders, before coming to the realization that it is her obligation. She repeats what is now becoming routine, sending a bolt towards the remaining flying head before reloading.

+2/1d10/19-20 x2, -2/1d10 if shooting into melee

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 no melee since it bull rushed poor Flasheart away and gets 11." [1d20=9]
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 10." [1d10=10]

Twang! With that second shot, the flying snake-head  is shattered, bursting apart into raining snakes! So slain, the danger is past!

Free action.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin stows away her bow, glancing back at Euphemia with what could only be described as petulance. Putting that aside for now, however, she cautiously draws her sword and advances to draw level with Flasheart, ready to strike down anything else that might fly out.

Should nothing come, however, she reaches down to give Flasheart a hand.

[Ebiris]

Flasheart gratefully accepts Sacchin's assistance in getting back up. "Oohf! Quite a grip you have there," he grins, dusting himself off as he clambers to his feet before looking around in satisfaction. "It seems like they fell for our cunning distraction. Never let it be said that Lord Flasheart is afraid to suffer a few bumps and bruises for those under his care!"

Assuming we can take 10 on the clambering up since the danger is now over

[Carthrat]

Sacchin doesn't look terribly grateful after she finishes pulling Flasheart up (though it's questionable if, with a face like that, she could manage such an expression if she even tried.) "Use weapon to kill enemies," she insists, glancing at his disused blade.

For her part, she glances through mists ahead, towards the other end of the bridge.

[Ebiris]

"I've got a weapon for you right here! Woof!" Flasheart announces boisterously with a lewd gesture.
