[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 1933985, member: 11574"] [b]Mourning[/b] Although the brief flash of lightening caused the draconid to become visible for a moment, the creature quickly re-energizes it's invisibility. However, the splattering of mud that accompanied the electrical strike, is more than enough to give the creature's general location away. Having it's underside outlined in from of him, Gronar drives his spear into the soft flesh of the beast's arachnid abdomen. Benat unleashes two arrows into it's back, their glow gives an even greater target to strike for. Korg's struggles against the sticky web, cause him to fall forward into the ruddy water. Normally the low level of water would not be a challenge, however due to his incapacitated state, Korg's head is below the water level now. Paquito has similar balance issues, as he falls prone on top of the dead treant, thankful his descent was halted prior to hitting the water. The draconid focuses one head at Benat and belches forth a stream of fire at the elf, who twists and dips in the sky avoiding the majority of the stream. The other head expels it's line of conflagration at the huge Gronar, who is unable to avoid the bombardment. Gronar stagers back, and kneels in the warm water in an attempt to find relief from the blistering. "Nameroc, blast that thing again."
