A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

Tsadok

Tsadok momentarily doubles over as the creature's blade opens up his gut and he literally sees his insides. But, as he has always wanted to go down fighting, he moves to k14 so that he and Houwlou have it surrounded (flanking) connecting his sap to the beast's shoulder.

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger4

Heartened by Tsakok's flanking maneuver, Houwlou again assault the monster. He gets a good hit on the beast, but not a truly spectacular one. (Still, 14 damage isn't too bad!)

Harnrey moves to F,14 and orders his summoned elemental to attack. He then points his finger at the nightmere and a globof acid forms then shoots at the creature.

Round 2 Wrap Up

Tsadok gapes for a moment at the sight of his entrails trying to slip through the gash in his stomach, then warily circles the hellish beast to get a better position on it. Trapping it between himself and Houwlou, he slaps the back of its head with his trusty sap.

Aodhán continues his supportive role, reaching out to channel Lonrach's healing power into Houwlou's battered body. The Olcán growls his thanks again as he continues the fight, scoring another telling blow.

Harnry's recalled air elemental makes its long awaited appearance, stirring a cloud of dust as it bobs and weaves to avoid its master's dart of acid but ends up slamming into the wall of the millhouse. It hangs in the air, seemingly knocked insensible by the impact. Harnry's acid dart slaps into the nightmare's furry chest; it looks down with rheumy yellow eyes and extends its tongue, licking the green goop from its fur with relish.

GM:

Note that Kezurkian's AC is 21 (it was 19 the first round due to its charge). Also, remember that criticals are handled with the Critical Hit/Fumble Deck!

OOC: I think you have Houwlou's hp wrong in your summary! According to my records he should now be at full hp.

Unless you forgot to mention a successful attack against him for -20 hp! :-S

Houwlou has 44 HP max, -17 from the charge, -17 from the halberd, +20 from CMW. That should put him down 14 HP, right? (Combat Status Block has been updated to reflect this total).
