[sblock=Background]
Manous is a "Barbarian Indian" type who was born in the recently discovered "America," but was brought back to "France" as a very small boy (about 12/13?) by a sea captain as an oddity to be widely displayed and poked and prodded by various folks. Then said waif was seen by a Duchess and her heart went out to the poor lad, so she adopted him and had him trained/schooled by the best Masters in the land, and given very much religious instruction in the 'accepted' faith. Ultimately, young Manous became a Paladin, but he still looks very unusual, having been copiously tattooed by his people and subjected to the body modifications of his tribe. I'm thinking Manous's entire body is tattooed with geometric patterns and star charts, his earlobes have been greatly pierced with objects of ever-increasing size during his early childhood, so he has great flapping "rings" of flesh hanging from his ears. Manous Artouche also has a row of "earrings" around his navel (navel rings?) (but he keeps that covered most of the time), and he also has a "bone in his nose." (Not a real bone, but a ring of brass much like a bull.)

So Manous looks like a total freak, except when he is shrouded in his Paladin's armor, at which time he is indistinguishable from any other knight of the realm, but he is always unswervingly loyal to his benefactor the Duchess, and he is as faithful to his new religion as anyone in "France." Now, the Duchess is on the outs with the mainstream of nobility in "France" because she resisted the amorous intentions of the Prince, and he ruined her socially once he got over
the rejection. She may have even been exiled to "Scotland" or wherever, but Manous Artouche was undergoing his tutelage at that time and had to stay behind in "France" with the Duchess's cousin, Grand Duke Siegfried von Koln, who was (as it happens) the boy's Paladin Instructor. Now Siegfried, once Manous was fully trained and set out on the proper path of Paladinhood, fell
victim to temptations of the flesh possibly brought about by arcane mind control, and he wound up as an Anti-Paladin. [Built-in future BBEG!] His fall from Paladinhood finished off the Duchess's family's fall from grace and they are all wanted/hunted/shot on sight, and their vast holdings have mostly been confiscated by the throne. Manous Artouche does, arguably, still have a valid, legal claim to at least a portion of the Duchess's family holdings, since he was
legally adopted by the Duchess before her downfall.

Round Two

Even Tabitha's optimism is shaken by the sight of the beast before her, and the savagery with which it attacks. Its sheer size and thick hide make it seem like her rapier is little more than a hatpin... But if the only option was retreat, well...she'd not abandon her friends.

She rushes to join the fight! Unfortunately, she her attack does not harm the foe.

Lucien tosses the torch to the ground and moves past his companions. Rapier already in hand, he draws his dagger as he moves. He attempts to sweep the feet out from under the creature with his attack, but to no avail...the beast avoids his maneuver.

Seeing the drow taken up, the old man spryly takes a shot, aiming for its arms to disable its grip. While the powerful claws continue to hold the beast the glancing shot at least seems to slow the creature.

Shocked by the impact of Ali's sword against his armor, Manous responds with hasty and regrettable venom as he attacks the creature: "Mon Dieu! Etes Vous un imbécile?" His attacks are equally hasty and just as regrettable as the Warhammer fails to connect at either swing.

Malkyr tries to escape the deadly grip. Despite the rock-crushing power of the claws, the agile Drow slips free. As he gets loose, he quickly steps back while drawing his weapons and taking a deep breath.

Seeing his comrade mauled to within an inch of his life, Ali swirls his sword to create a Dimensional Vortex, but the spell fizzles.

Manous exclaims "By Avandra's Purple Girdle, what in the Tee-Total Holy Hell and the Blazing Furnaces of Gehenna is this thing??"

The massive bug man turns its odd and dizzying gaze on you all. Looking into the four strange multifaceted insect eyes leave you reeling with confusion. The Hounds stumble back in all directions helpless before the gaze. All are dazed until the end of the bugman's next turn.
