Seeker and Gorg are Grappled, Technically

Tuesday October 31

Oceanside Smackdown, with a Bang!

The brave adventurers have been beset by a barrel of savage monkeys! Three monkeys are grappling each of Seeker and Gorg and Seeker slogs to the water, hoping to drown the chaos monkeys!

Arn yells out, braces his shield and charges into the fray, trying to impact his shield into the monkeys and using enough force to knock them off of Seeker. The grappling monkey doesn't even see Arn coming and is slammed off of Seeker but lands on its feet!

Arn shouts, "Stop monkeying around!”

Quickly choking up to a 1 handed short swing grip on Tempest frees up Gorg's left hand, with which he attempts to grab the monkey clinging to his torso with the intent to throw the beast at the rock in front of him.

Moonscar sees a monkey coming toward Valinya!


Caught between a monkey and a wet spot, Valinya takes a step back and lets a lightning bolt fly at the nearest foe. The Monkey attempts to dodge Valinya's attack but fails! It freezes up, stunned by the lightning strike, and falls to the ground behind the end of the boat.

Silver glides forwards and attempts to cast Resist Fire on Gorg



Seeker feels more monkey hands grabbing him from behind as another monkey follows and leaps onto Seeker's back, grabbing him on the shoulders while another comes in from the side and tries to grab his arm!

Seeker feels more and more tiny monkey hands grab him. There are now at least 5 monkeys grappling him, trying to drag him down, working together and leveraging their combined weight against the massive Wolfen but they fail and Seeker remains on his feet.

Two of the grappling monkeys, however, just go for bites. The first biting monkey merely chews on a breastplate but the second monkey's teeth somehow penetrate Seeker's armor and he feels the sharp teeth tear at his skin!

Monkey after monkey begin piling on Gorg. As more and more hands grab him, he feels that the monkeys are really starting to drag on him as well! The 4 monkeys grappling Gorg are enough to completely immobilize him and he then feels the teeth of one of the monkeys biting through his mail!



Seeker drops Charnag Velve and all out attacks the two monkeys by punching one in the face and biting the other one. The first monkey manages to dodge the punch, but the second monkey fails to avoid Seeker’s gnashing teeth. Seeker bites onto one of the monkeys. It tastes awful!

Arn steps up with his mace and shield and makes a dual attack, striking 2 monkeys, trying to get them off Seeker.

Arn swings his enchanted mace, Olum Kanat Sican, at his foe's torso and lands a solid blow on the back of one monkey and slams his shield into the side of another. Arn's mace slams into the monkey Seeker is biting and his shield hits another one. Arn feels his mace crush the monkey in his friends mouth but instead of going limp, the beast thrashes around, clawing and biting at Seekers face!

As the monkeys surprise assault subsides, Seekers feels the life go out of it. Seeker suddenly feels the creature becoming hot in his mouth. He can hear a fizzing sound coming from the limp meat sack hanging from his teeth. Seeker can feel a strange bubbling as the temperature in his mouth continues to rise. Seeker spits the chaos monkey out of his mouth with a roar. Just as he spits the monkey out, it explodes in a spray of green and black liquid, covering Arn and Seeker. Both warriors feel the liquid burning their skin through even the slightest gap in armor!

Arn says, "ugh, exploding monkeys!”

Gorg finds himself unable to move much, though he does have one monkey in his hand though his grip is not great. The Ogre throws the monkey towards the large rock but it lands on its feet. Gorg manages to drop one of the monkeys off of him, though it does not have the intended effect, the monkey is no longer grappling hm

Moonscar smacks the monkey now in front of him. The monkey tries to dodge, but fails.

Valinya sends another electrical bolt at a nearby monkey. It attempts to dodge Valinya's attack and critically fails! Valinya shocks the monkey again!

Silver starts flapping her wings furiously to hover, and blasts fire down over Gorg and his unwelcome... attachments Silver breathes deep, and blasts out with a cone of fire and catches 3 of the monkeys in the blaze!



Arn continues to help Seeker out, another crushing blow from his mace sends one of the creatures flying of into the sand. A follow up with his shield knocks another one clear off the Wolfen.

Gorg continues to swing his massive maul, Tempest, at his foes, Seeker punches more monkeys, Arn swings his enchanted mace, Olum Kanat Sican, into the fray. The melee goes on for several more moments until all the savage monkeys have been beaten until they pop. The strange monkeys all end up as bubbling puddles of green acid then after a minute or so they dry up into grey-green powder.

Despite the cool rain falling, everyone is tired and tense from the battle. Seeker gingerly touches the several scratches on his face and chest. They hurt quite a bit and after just a few moments, he develops a terrible headache.

Moonscar asks, "Brother, is your amulet still whole?” and checks the Chaperone feather amulet to see if these things triggered it.

Seeker says, "My what? Oh, yes, forgot about that”

Gorg moves out and scouts around the area to see if he can spot any other creatures nearby.

Arn says, "Ugh,those were some nasty critters to deal with!”

Seeker adds, “Taste terrible, too. Very sour.”

Seekers head continues to hurt, to the point he has to sit down. Those looking at him see him panting heavily, as if he were very hot and the fur around his face is darkening in patches.

Arn says, "let me make sure yer weapons are clean of their acidic blood. I want to wash off any blood and treat your weapons with an oil rag quickly.” Then to Seeker, " Do ye think that eating one of them critters may have poisoned ye?"

Seeker says, "Huh? Wha?” and wobbles to his feet. "Naw, I'm, I'm okay..." though he feels his mind racing and is having trouble focusing his usually orderly mind. The Wolfen looks bad for a moment, the he kinda shakes and snaps out of it and looks fine. “Dayam! That's stuff's nasty!” he exclaims.

The large Wolfen notices that his little tufted fur charm that Moonscar had given him has withered and crumbled away.

What the charm USED to look like.

Moonscar says, "Shit - Sis - Gorg is going to need your help, maybe Arn too!”

Gorg returns in a moment with reports of numerous dead animals, some monkeys, several birds and other small animals nearby. The carcasses were all completely ravaged and nearly unrecognizable.
