Round 2
Battle Map - Round 2
"Continue to focus our attacks!" Storm calls out as he unleashes another pair of arrows at the monstrous creature and backs further away from them. Once again, one arrow wounds the creature, that doesn't seem to feel much pain in its frenzy, however, while the other bounces off harmlessly from its tough skin.
Eldwyn brings his warsling into action hitting the Sahuagin directly out in front of him with a stone to the forehead, aided by his own morale-boosting song.
"You shall fall!" Sir Dryw declares as he leaps toward the nearest monster, his shield and shillelagh ready for action. The well-aimed attack almost knocks the heavily wounded mutant off its feet.
Now that the opponents are all out of the water Kordunn draws out the
scroll of fireball and invokes its power, catching the two mutants and two other sahuagin within the blast of fiery death. The wounded mutant, that was leading the attack, is mostly consumed by the engulfing flames, leaving a smoking and rather bad-smelling body and a heap of ash near Sir Dryw. The other targets are also burnt but still fighting.
Emagor is still holding his spell ready. His eyes focused on the 4-armed sahuagin in front of the group of fishmen, but as it goes up in flames, the warrior-mage looks for other targets, which soon present themselves.
The sahuagin mob rushes forward, some heading straight for Sir Dryw, while the others run past the knight and towards the rest of the party. Likewise, the two giant frogs advance towards their prey with powerful leaps.
As two of the sahuagin charge Eldwyn and Kordunn, Emagor takes a step between them and unleashes his spell, which creates a cone of dazzling light. Unfortunately, the stubborn creatures refuse to become affected and continue their savage attacks. Only one of them was close enough to reach Kordunn, almost getting skewered by the dwarf's ranseur which barely glances off the creatures hide, the sahuagin's claw attack does not endanger the paladin either, however.
Dryw is attacked by the other mutant and one more sahuagin in the meantime and he does not share the luck of the dwarven paladin. The mutant savagely claws into the knight's shoulder, ripping through his flesh with sharp nails, while the other sahuagin also manages to overcome his defenses and hurt Sir Dryw.
The remaining attackers move close enough to launch an attack every moment.
