They didn't need to say it again. He avoided a close swipe from the creature, who flicked spittle as it screamed, and took a chance. He raked his blade across the beast, finding flesh. Keeping on his toes, he spun and leapt around the confused roach, alighting on a pile of rubble.

Dane and Samad manage to work their blades through the cockroach's carapace, causing a sickly grey fluid to ooze out of its wounds and drip to the floor. The cockroach flails at Samad as he maneuvers around the creature, but misses. A moment later, its faceted eyes seem to refocus, and it strikes again, this time slashing across the chest of the desert warrior.
[sblock=GM]Cockroach gets an AoO on Samad as he moves to flank (not a 5 foot step if it's into difficult terrain). That attack misses. Cockroach's blindness wears off, and its regular attack hits for 7 points of damage.
Cockroach: Attacks Samad, hits for 7. Samad is 2/9.
Giant hissing cockroach: 14 points of damage (moderately wounded), AC 12 (FF12, touch 8)[/sblock][sblock=Map, Third round]

Aeron watched as the bug lashed out once more at Samad and caught the desert warrior with a vicious cut. His companion didn't look to good after that recent attack. This bug needed to be crushed before it could continue its deadly assault.
Aeron aimed his scimitar at the cockroach once more, looking for an opening for his sword to sneak through. All the while, Aeron began focusing his arcane energy by mumbling some words of magical power. After the first strike with his sword, Aeron shot out a small orb of acid at the bug as well.

Glad that he'd struck a soft spot against the creature, Dane beamed with his own success. His face quickly contorted itself into one of sheer horror, however, as the beast remained standing, rending Samad asunder with its massive sharpened appendages. The young human's blood ran cold at the destructive nature of the giant bug, spurred on by his injured comrade. Teeth grit and fueled by raw adrenaline, Dane wasn't going to let this stupid roach get the best of him or anyone else -- not if he had something to say about it!
"Samad! Hang on!" came the clarion cry of the sandy haired young man over the chittering and hissing of the gargantuan pest, brow furled and eyes focused on the naturally armored foe accosting the group even as he muttered some halfling curse beneath his breath. He needed to find a chink in that carapace; a vulnerable spot to deliver the coup de grace, or at least inflict enough pain and suffering against the vicious roach that it would scurry off out of a sense of survival. At this point it was irrelevant if they could slay the damned thing. All Dane wanted to do was make sure everyone came out of this alive!
Mustering as much strength as he could, Dane reared back his arm and thrust it violently towards the bloodthirsty guardian of the ancient ruins. If it wanted to go blood-for-blood, then it was clear to Dane that they needed to bleed the creature dry first -- doubly-so before it could tear into another one of them!

Aeron scores another wicked blow on the giant insect, and as it reels, Dane cuts through its side, shearing all of its legs and spilling its milky white entrails across the rubble on the floor. The creature continues to twitch, but the fight is clearly over.
[sblock=GM]Congrats on your first LPF kill, gentlemen. Two notes: Aeron's acid splash attack was a hit, as Acid Splash is a ranged touch attack, and the roach's touch AC was only 8. Second, if you confirm a crit, you roll additional dice, rather than just doubling or tripling the damage you rolled on one die. In this case, it doesn't matter, as the roach would have been dead even if the Acid Splash and crit dice rolled minimum.[/sblock]

Samad recoiled from the blow, stance slipping, sight slurring. Their voices grew dim and distant, but he saw the beast collapse from their efforts. He realized he was having difficulty breathing, perhaps the thing had broken his ribs as well as knock his breath away. The nomad staggered forward before touching his chest and gasping a prayer in his own tongue. His palm lit with a warm glow, and the pain receded. He felt his senses returning to him, and glanced around. The battle was indeed over, and they the victors. He spent a few seconds coughing up blood before speaking, "It is just as well, The Starlit Sentinel would not have led me here to die for some beast's meal." He touched his pommel to his forehead, and whispered a few words of thanks.

Between he and Aeron's assault, the cockroach now laid dead, its guts splattered all over Dane's once clean clothes as a testament of their combined success. Panting as the adrenaline in his system began to wear off in the wake of the slain bug, the young adventurer quickly shifted his attention from their meager success within the ruined halls of the ancient dwarven tower to that of a more pressing nature -- Samad's injuries.
"Are you all right, Samad?" Dane inquired hastily, sheathing his sword as he maneuvered his way across the rubble beside the injured warrior, Mallack's bequeathed torch still shining brightly amidst the darkness. Even in the shadowy illumination he could see the foreign elf's grievous wounds; now the more vividly with the frantic notion of combat having been adjourned. Suffice it to say that from the former farmer's perspective that they didn't look good. At least, they didn't until his wounds miraculously closed with a soft glow.
"Take a minute to catch your breath," he implored as Samad spat up blood, Dane's own face full of shock and earnest concern as he rested his free hand on the desert elf's shoulder. Only now in retrospect did Dane regret not purchasing those curative potions before they'd left Venza, salt thrown in the wound as one of their number was now looking much worse for wear. It was sheer fortune that Samad had been more than capable to alleviate his own injuries, giving the human some measure of relief as he let loose a thankful sigh.
Pausing once it seemed the nomad would be fine, Dane turned his attention to his comrades, pacing beyond them and back to the room they'd entered to reclaim his fallen pack, adjusting the straps against his bow and quiver carefully as he then moved to rejoin his colleagues.
"Let's hope there aren't any more of those things," Dane bemoaned, grimacing at the state of affairs his outfit had been cast into after splitting the vicious bug down the middle. If Baggio had come this way, he likely had to have navigated his way around the menace in lieu of attacking it head-on -- after all, it took four of them just to slay one of the vile roaches! But there was still more of the tower to explore; specifically, a means to reach the upper portion of the torn-down spire. They couldn't lollygag long, for they still had a task at hand to accomplish.
Taking a deep breath, Dane recomposed himself, wiping the sweat from his brow with the back of his gauntlet. Turning to face those bold enough to have sojourned this far to quell the mysterious stench, the young sandy-haired human gave the trio an affirmative nod.
"Alright. I think I'm good. Take a minute if you need it. We've still got a job to do."

"See? Just a cockroach. Good job everyone" Paskell said happily after the disgusting insect was cut through by Dane. Just as well that it was only attacking Samad because he was able to heal himself. "That looks really useful" the tengu commented seeing the feat.
If there are more, at least we will be ready for them" Paskell replied to Dane. "At least now we'll know they have that weird noise too..." the tengu said as he started to dig his ear remembering the sound it was making.
Also it was better now that Dane was not in so much of a rush about Baggio anymore. Taking the human's offer, Paskell confirmed saying "just give me a few moments" and looked around the cockroach to find his dagger. Even after finding it he pretended to continue looking for...something in case there is any other interesting thing in the room he might have missed.
