LE vs. N: Lawful Evil Victorious!

[Gansk]

The soul tick jumps off the penguin and attacks the scorpion. Hits! (Rolled 23) The tick attaches itself underneath the scorpion's exoskeleton.

Meanwhile, the penguin manhandles the scorpion into backing up 5 feet.

(The roll was 12-8 for size = 4 for the penguin vs. 7-8 for size + 4 for stable = 3 for the scorpion)

The scorpion and the tick are at position 60N45E. Does the penguin want to join them in that square and does the tick want to persuade the scorpion to join LE?

 

[ugulu]

The penguin will stay put, while the tick will try to increase the LE horde to 3 with some devilish marketing.

 

[Gansk]

The scorpion is too stupid to understand how great it would be to join evil. In fact, it doesn't comprehend the tick at all!

Round 5:

The scorpion flails at the tick with two claws and a stinger.

All misses! (Rolled natural 1, 8 & 12)

 

[ugulu]

The penguin will try to crunch the scorpion. If that doesn't finish it off, the tick will try again to the convince the scorpion to come to the darkside, and if it fails, make a normal bite attack.

 

[Gansk]

The penguin enters the scorpion's square and pecks at it. Misses wildly! (Rolled 1)

The scorpion still does not respond to the tick, so the tick sucks a little blood. The scorpion takes 1 point of Con damage, which leaves it with 3 hp.

Round 6:

The scorpion claws at the tick once again. Hits! (Rolled 18) The tick takes 1 point of damage and has 0 hp left. The tick is disabled!

The scorpion holds on to the tick with its claw!

(Rolls are 9 + 0 Dex - 8 size = 1 for the scorpion vs. 5 - 5 Str - 16 size = -16 for the tick)

The scorpion continues its attack against the tick while grappling.

It hits with its other claw! (Rolled natural 20, then 5 - 4 for grappling = 1 for the crit threat)

The tick takes another point of damage. It is at -1 hp and is dying!

The scorpion misses the tick with its sting. (Roll is 7 - 4 for grappling = 3)

The tick takes no action and is defeated! It is teleported away from the scorpion's claw.

Next up for LE: A mind leech! (Fiend Folio) The penguin still fights for LE as well.

The mind leech is not familiar with scorpions and their abilities, other than what it has observed in the arena. It also does not know why the penguin is fighting on its side.

 

[ugulu]

The penguin tries another vicious peck at the scorpion, while the Mind Leech blasts into the first one-foot of 60N 0E.

 

[Gansk]

The penguin hits! (Rolled 15) The scorpion takes 1 point of damage and has 2 hp left.

Round 7:

The scorpion tries to tear the penguin into tasty morsels.

The first claw misses (rolled 8), but the second claw slams into the penguin's neck! (Rolled natural 20, 14 crit roll) The penguin takes 1 point of damage and has 1 hp left.

The sting misses. (Rolled 4)

 

[ugulu]

The mind leech runs, putting it at the eastern edge of 60N 0E. The PO's penguin brings down the peck of doom on the scorpion.

 

[Gansk]

The penguin misses! (Rolled 2) Doesn't look good for LE!

Round 8:

The scorpion tries again. It misses with first claw (rolled 4), but hits with the second (Rolled 19). 1 point of damage. The penguin has 0 hp and is disabled!

The sting misses. (Rolled 7)

 

[ugulu]

With rage only attainable when you're a flightless bird, the penguin tries one more attack. The Mind Leech runs 80% of the way across 60N 5E.
