Startled by the appearance of the strange bug thing, Keeland fumbles with his arrow and is slow to react. He does finally get arrow and string together to fire (1d20+4=8), unfortunately, his shot goes well wide of the mark.

Tsadok steps toward the scorpion and tries to hit with his sap. His positioning is awkward as he is trying to stay out of the line of fire from it's tail and it's spitting.

[Mowgli]

The Ankheg lunges forward, snapping it's huge mandibles closed on Houwlou's meaty thigh and trying to drag the big Olcán back to it's tunnel. The blood gushing from the wound in his leg allows Houwlou to slip free, and the creature readies itself for another attack. The wound in Houwlou's thigh begins to burn as the acid seething from the Ankheg's mouth makes itself felt.

*It's a cautious creature, and attempted to Hold, which is -20 to Grapple attempt but avoids the Grappled condition on itself.

OOC

Just need an attack from Houwlou and I can resolve the round.

[Leif]

Howling (literally!) with pain from the beast's bite, Houwlou brings his sword down as heavily as he is able on the tenderest spot on the thing he can find.

now That's more like it! 1d20+5=25, 1d8+3=11 Threat! Roll to confirm crit: 10 1d20+5=10

[Mowgli]

Tsadok reacts quickly to the appearance of the monstrosity, slipping deftly between his new acquaintances and flailing at the thing with a sap. The ankheg jerks it's head to the side, flinging Houwlou into Tsadok even as the howling wolf-kin slips from it's grasp.

Harnry and Aodhán are alerted by the sounds of battle and rush to join the fray however they can, but the quarters are tight.

Keeland steps back to give himself room to put his bow to use, but Tsadok's brief association with the group hasn't allowed him to become part of the well oiled Mercenary Machine, and his sudden movement throws Keeland's aim off.

Houwlou's primal scream reverberates through the small space, eliciting winces of pain from his allies. The bug is too concerned with the gash his intended meal has opened in his side to worry overmuch about the howling.

Houwlou

You gave better than you got in terms of raw damage, but in terms of HP% you're gonna need a little more help from your friends to keep up this rate of exchange . . . Still, nicely done!

Map Positions

I'm still learning the ins and outs of MapTool, so I didn't label the grid this time. If I didn't place you where you'd like to be let me know and I'll position you accordingly. Harnry and Aodhán, you've got some movement (and possibly an attack or other action, depending on how you position yourselves) - let me know what you want to do and I'll get it into the first round. I forgot about that when I was calling for actions.

[Leif]

"Fling ME about like a ragdoll, will you? We'll just SEE about that!" Spitting these words, Houwlou raises his longsword again, and drives it into the creature with all the power he can muster. Unfortunately, as he is doing so, his foot finds a patch of ichor that is leaking from the beast, and he slips just enough to ruin the aim of his blow.
Houwlou's next attack at the ankheg. (1d20+5=10, 1d8+3=10)

Ooops

I don't know if anyone will bother to look, but I made a mistake in the Campaign name on the IC entries I made today. I had a brain cramp and thought it was still called "Ihmlan."

[mleibrock]

Tsadok prevents Houwlou from being flung further and hopefully keeps him in this fight.

Being pushed back a bit by Houwlou's momentum, Tsadok will move forward and again try to attack with his sap, this time connecting solidly.

[Scott DeWar]

Harnrey moves into the room (5 feet SW, 10 feet S) and summons a dart of green viscous fluid. it strikes solidly, but with minimal effect as the hard plating of the insectoid creature was more then what he thought it to me: Ranged Touch attack
1d20+2=18, 1d6=1

(spell failure of 10%: 1d100=83 )

[renau1g]

Aodhán draws a javelin after seeing he can't reach the monster. Turning around the corner he flings a weapon at the creature, unfortunately the abhac's training was not in ranged combat and with his allies dodging and parrying in front of him it is extremely difficult to make his throw.

ooc

Move to SE corner and draw javelin.
vs ac; dmg (1d20 2=19, 1d6 2=7) Forgot -4 for missile weapon into melee so hits ac 15... for 7 damage

[Scotley]

Keeland takes a step and tries to calm down and focus on his archery. He tries another shot (1d20+4=11), while his aim is better, the arrow fails to penetrate the chitinous exoskeleton of the enemy.

[Mowgli]

The Ankheg lunges at Houwlou once more but is unable to connect, and is then beaten back by the swirling blades and bolts of the party.

The burly newcomer braces Houwlou with one hand and smacks the Ankheg firmly with the sap in his other. Houwlou's swing is wild. A javelin streaks into the room and caroms off the back wall as Aodhán enters the fray, and Keeland's second arrow skitters of it's chitinous skin. Harnry points at the creature and a viscous green bolt slams into it but seems to have little effect.

Quick as a thought, the Ankheg bites (1d20+5=23) Tsadok, grasping (1d20+11=17) him firmly in its mandibles and beginning to worry at him like a dog with an old bone.

Details

Ankheg: 12 Lethal, 8 NL Damage, Grappled (PF Core Rules pg. 200)
Houwlou: 10 Lethal Damage
Tsadok: Bite & Acid Damage (2d6+1d4+4=12), Grappled (PF Core Rules pg. 200)

[mleibrock]

Really not happy with the DM...

Tsadok, tries to wriggle free but is unable to find a way out of the curse-ed creature's jaws.

[renau1g]

Aodhán raises his holy symbol and somehow the ankheg feels Lonrach's disapproval and her unluck falling on the creature.

Cast Bane - not much more I can do. Unfortunately, it seems your fate lies in Leif's hands... oh dear.

[Leif]

Again, the doughty Olcan strikes at the ankheg. Unfortunately, success eludes one more time.

[Scott DeWar]

Harnrey sees the situation aaas getting bad with the fellow mercinaries. he calls forth the sustance of primal earth, where the creature is from and produces a globe of acid in his hands. Taking careful aim to avoid his allies he throws it at the giant insect...

Ranged touch attack
orb of acid, lessor 1d20-2=17, 1d6=3

[Scotley]

Hoping to save his newfound companion, Keeland sends another arrow (1d20+4=6) into the fray, but still can't seem to hit the implacable foe.

[Leif]

OOC: Are you SURE that this guy isn't part pugwampi??? We can't seem to buy a flippin' hit at the moment.

[Mowgli]

Harnry's orb slaps into the Ankheg just behind it's head. Chittering in pain, the creature drops Tsadok's writhing body to the dirt and retreats backwards into the loose soil.

OOC

Ankheg drops Tsadok and Withdraws, burrowing into the soil.

Knowledge: Nature checks are appropriate here if you wish.

[mleibrock]

Tsadok, stands up and inspects his crushed body. "Well...that sucked!"
