[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 5008707, member: 79945"] Lightning flickers once more over the battlefield as the giant rock creature responds to Dextyr's feeble attack. At steps towards him and grips him in two massive, crushing fists, squeezing the breath out of him as it lifts him off the ground. Then if suddenly tosses him aside, into the nearest thicket of trees, where his body lies twisted and mangled. As the life leaves him, his last sight is the creature stomping forward to finish the job. Tonk sees none of this, but he does see a puff of orange smoke drifting away over the trees and realizes Dextyr must be dead. A moment later the rock giant pushes its way through the trees, but mercifully, he expires before it can reach him. [sblock=Status] Dextyr hits for 6, shifts to G5, misses, and shifts to H6. Just do that 20 more times, and it's dead. The lightning misses: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2334022/]Lightning on Dextyr (1d20+6=12, 1d10+4=13)[/url] The Elemental shifts to G5 and attacks with Bear Hug: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2334026/]Bear Hug on Dextyr (targets Fort) (1d20+8=23, 3d8+5=16)[/url] Hit for 16, bloodied and grabbed. He uses a minor action to Hurl Dextyr, which does automatic damage: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2334027/]Hurl Dextyr (automatic damage) (1d6+4=7)[/url] Dextyr's at -2, so you're all dying. So, that's that. [/sblock] Dextyr wakes in a shadowy room. His body feels numb, and he is weak from exhaustion. He is in a hard, uncomfortable bed, looking up at a vaulted stone ceiling overhead. A kindly looking old man with a stubble of grey and white beard leans over him. The holy symbol of Lauto hangs from his neck. [color="Magenta"]"Welcome back to the living, my son,"[/color] he says.
