[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5523259, member: 29558"] Tsadok quickly follows the goat-beast who is laying into another one of his friends. But as he tries to hold his insides in with his left hand, it affects his swing and he misses badly. The demon-thing tries to [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971880/"]punish[/URL] the young half-orc for his impetuous actions with another head-butt, but is [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971881/"]unable to connect[/URL]. Aodhán steps up to bestow some healing on the injured arcanist. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"Get behind me Harnry!"[/COLOR] the cleric calls out. Houwlou rushes back into the fray, feints with his left hand, and draws the creature's attention to his right. Then the Olcán makes a telling thrust with his right hand into the hollow of the creatures left breast and twists his off-hand longsword as it sinks into the pliable flesh. Still stinging from the creature's vicious attack and knowing he's overmatched physically, Harnry takes the smart route and backs carefully out of the combat; he shelters behind the comforting bulk of his Abhác friend. Keeland whirls and fires a brace of shafts at the leaping horror. Again one shot finds the mark. He continues to encourage the others. The fiend is perceptibly weakening, but still has some fight left! Taking a lesson from the wolf-kin, it makes its own [url="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971892/"]feint[/url] with the black Halberd, then takes advantage of Houwlou's reaction to reach out and [url='http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971894/]grab him by the neck[/url] with a huge paw. He jerks the Ranger forward, [url="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971895/']slams his goat horns[/url] into the canine head with [url="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971900/"]tremendous force[/url]. When he pushes off, blood streams down Houwlou's face from the puncture wound in his forehead*. Once more taking his Halberd in both hands, he makes a [url="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971901/"]backhanded swipe[/url] at Tsadok. In spite of the casual appearance of the blow the Halberd [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2971904/"]buries itself deep[/URL] in the boy's chest, leaving another gaping hole in his torso. [sblock=*OOC]Houwlou takes normal damage +1d6 Bleed from the Critical Gore Attack. In addition, he suffers 1 point of CON [I]Drain[/I], reducing his total HP to 40 until his CON is healed via [I]Restoration[/I] spell or some other magic. Mike, you'll want to read up (if you haven't) on Dying as well as Orc Ferocity. Tsadok can't make his CON Check and he goes first in initiative order after Kezurkian. So he'll need to use his Orc Ferocity to hang on for this round to allow someone (Aodhán?) to get to him with a Cure spell to stabilize him.
