Mardo's searches the village, looking for anything of use. Whomever destroyed the village were very thorough: food, weapons, clothing - all gone. However, it is in the last destroyed sod home that Mardo finds something possibly useful. Several smooth small stones, probably from the River Orh's stream bed, sit in a small, thatched basket. One edge of the stone is thin and sharp. Holding the stones in his hand, Mardo is surprised by the obvious way they just "fit". These stones were probably the weapons of some halfling warrior now lost to Shadow. Valurel's hiss snaps Mardo's attention back to the danger of the situation. Running quickly, the gnome climbs the hill to warn Herger and Kaela.
At Mardo's warning, Herger strides toward the battle, panic rising in his chest. Reaching the village, a quick glance reveals no stones, but there are large heavy clumps of sod that might suffice as a projectile.
OOC: Since I never made the distance between Herger and Kaela and the rest of the Heroes clear, I will rule that Herger can join the battle in two rounds.
Starhl's stealth is undone. As the big northman launches himself at the massive horror, the creature spins with incredible speed to face Starhl, its face twisted into a grin of satisfaction. Still, Starhl's charge is relentless. Slamming into the creature, Bjorn's Faith bites deep through the creature's heavy hide, blood spurting on the parched ground. Emitting a surprised shriek of pain, the creature swings its heavy claws at the northman, grabbing and rending the northman. OOC: Starhl takes 21 points of damage. Ouch! That could have been much worse!
Valurel flies to Starhl's aid, leaping onto the creatures back, tearing at the heavy hide with claw and fang. The putrid gray hide turns aside Valurel's claws. The creatures head leans back and snaps at Valurel with its gaping, tooth-filled maw, narrowly missing the Snow Elf.
Lodric patiently waits for an opening before launching through the air to crash into the creatures leg. The massive horror lets out a howl as its left leg wobbles awkwardly. Its red eyes blaze as it looks at Lodric with absolute hatred.
OOC: End of round 1. Remember to give me attack bonuses, potential damage, and any feats you want your character to use.
