ooc that's nothing... you should see the mistakes I make...
[sblock=SR: dire radiance]It doesn't matter in this case, but I think you roll damage each time. So you'd get max (8) for the first shot and then you'd get another roll next time. If it were supposed to be the same damage I think it would say "same damage" instead of "and takes an extra xdx+x if it approaches"
Unless crits maximize all damage?[/sblock]
The group launches powerful attacks,
Quinn,
Heian and
Neeloo (holding her shot until the creature gets close) strike true; destroying two creatures and injuring a third.
Eldan misses, as does
Verulo whose carefully aimed shot passes through a globe of dark gloom without apparent effect.
The creatures rush toward you, they are almost within striking distance.
Eldan, again with the light! The thief yells even has he retreats away from the melee, running up the beach and re-loading his crossbow.

edit: Fixed Neeloo's init timing so she readied to hit the creature when it got close enough.
OOC Please post your actions! (Unless you're Eldan, the situation will probably change radically before you go). Since they're running (PH 291) you all get combat advantage.
