Gordon, strolling toward the bridge, is startled by the sound, and looks wildly to and fro to try and discover the danger he faces.

While he got good reflexes, Xenon's senses are not sharp enough to alert him. So he just stands there, sickle in hand, enduring the unexpected attack.

Boingy! Boingy!
Frogs! (Surprise Round)

Norim keeps his sword ready as he looks at his surroundings. The lack of noise at first is disconcerting. However, the sudden roar of the growls of the frogs is deafening and unnerving. Gordon, strolling toward the bridge, is startled by the sound, and looks wildly to and fro to try and discover the danger he faces. While he got good reflexes, Xenon's senses are not sharp enough to alert him. So he just stands there, sickle in hand, enduring the unexpected attack. Dacen is shocked to see the monsters, and reacts very slowly.

From out of the undergrowth and silence spring six giant frogs! Each one is mottled gray and green, their camouflage very nearly a perfect match for the swampy ground around the ruined moathouse. Each is also about Gordon's size. Instead of the flat, bony ridge that a normal frog has in its mouth, these monsters sport ragged rows of fangs. Two execute amazing leaps at Gordon; another two, at Norim. Xenon and Dacen find themselves attacked by one a piece.

Gordon suffers a painful bite, but fortunately his armor takes the brunt of the assault. Nevertheless, the frog draws blood. It's bulbous, golden eyes quiver. Another over-sized amphibian collides with Norim; it's fang scrape for purchase, but Norim is only bruised. Xenon's quick reflexes save him; by instinct, he twists to the side, avoiding the snapping jaws. Likewise, Dacen avoids injury. The young cleric's shield keeps the monstrous animal at bay...for the moment.

OOC: Need an initiative roll for Norim. Everyone gets to act next round. There are six giant frogs. All of them charged to attack. Please narrate actions and provide all relevant dice rolls.

Initiative Order: Gordon (25), Frogs (23), Xenon (17), Dacen (3).

Xenon's attack is powerful, but his wild swing misses the frog.

Gordon shouts "Have at you, you mud-bellied bastards!" as he gets some space from the frogs, summons a spitting and crackling ball of electricity, and lobs it at his attackers. With a smirk he readies his crossbow for battle.

[sblock=OOC]He takes a 5' step from the frogs (and diagonally toward the party if that works) then casts defensively (are the frogs medium, or large?) Lesser Orb of Electricity, then draws his light crossbow. Rolls: Concentration 17, Ranged Touch 16, electricity damage 6. [/sblock]

Boingy! Boingy!
Frogs! (Round 1)

Gordon shouts "Have at you, you mud-bellied bastards!" as he gets some space from the frogs, summons a spitting and crackling ball of electricity, and lobs it at his attackers. With a smirk he readies his crossbow for battle. The orb of electricity strikes true. The smell of charred flesh mingles with ozone as one of the frogs spasms and cooks.

In the next instant, the frogs renew their assault. Mouths gape wide and fangs snap. Gordon side-steps as a frog lunges at him. Gordon's comrades don't fare as well. A frog briefly latches onto Xenon's leg, but still hangs on long enough to painfully twist the limb. Norim is all but overwhelmed. While the frogs have drawn little blood, the pair nevertheless batters the fighter with powerful hind legs and crushing jaws. Norim maintains a tenuous grip on consciousness! Dacen suffers the least injuries as his slimy-skinned foe collides with his ribs.

Xenon's attack is powerful, but his wild swing misses the frog. Norim will swing his sword at the nearest unnatural frog, but his aim is spoiled by the beating he's suffered. Dacen tries to keep his shield between him and the frog. He only manages a very clumsy attack with his mace, but some clever maneuvering have at least now put Dacen and Gordon back to back with each other.

Meanwhile, the undead beggar has scurried away from the fight, a look of heartfelt panic on his face.

[sblock=Combat Box]
Initiative Order: Gordon (25), Frogs (23), Xenon (17), Norim (9), Dacen (3).

Gordon: 4 nonlethal, 1 lethal.
Xenon: 3 nonlethal.

Dacen: 2 nonlethal.
