[QUOTE="Mark Chance, post: 4583926, member: 2795"] [b]Frogs! (End of Fight)[/b] Gordon, recognizing the danger that Norim is in, steps back from his attacker and tosses another orb at the repulsive amphibians. "Not as much fun when dinner fights back, eh, you terrible green beasts!" Another of the over-sized amphibians convulses and cooks under the power of Gordon's magic. Frog attacks follow quickly thereafter. Xenon and Dacen suffer more bruises from powerful legs and snapping jaws. Both stout adventurers stand battered and beleagured. Norim, having learned a painful lesson already from the two frogs he fights, fends off further attacks with clever footwork and a jump to the side. Xenon's attack against the frog that had just hit him is very skilled, but does not draw much blood. Norim, now having a choice of targets to attack, much to his dismay, swings at one of the wild giant frogs clamped onto his flesh. His powerful strike splits the creature open along the back, dropping it to the ground where it twitches in a growing pool of blood. "Get off me!" Norim screams. Dacen boldy attacks a frog, slamming his mace down towards its vulnerable head. There is a sickening crunch of bone, and another monstrous amphibian ceases to move except for the gruesome spasms of its death throes. The sudden shift in the battle is too much for the two conscious monsters. Perhaps the thick scent of its fellows' blood alerts them to their precarious situation. Regardless, they leap away from the party, attempting to escape to the safety of the reeds and the water. Xenon, Norim, and Dacen take advantage of the openings in the frogs' defenses as they attempt to retreat. Xenon's mindblade slashes a wound down the side of the uninjured frog. Norim cuts the other as it jumps away. A second or two later, the injured monstrous amphibians splash into the murky waters around the ruined moathouse, vanishing from sight. The undead beggar pokes its head out from a clump of vegetation, eyes wide and mouth agape. He steps back into full view and smartly salutes the party. [sblock=Combat Box] Initiative Order: Gordon (25), Frogs (23), Xenon (17), Norim (9), Dacen (3). Gordon: 4 nonlethal, 1 lethal. Xenon: 7 nonlethal. Norim: 10 nonlethal, 1 lethal. Dacen: 5 nonlethal.
