Ivar rushes forward. His training and skill in skulking the dark alleys of Greyhawk make him strangely silent despite abandoning all pretense at stealth. Taking advantage of the warriors charging from the other side of the inn, Ivar slows down as he approaches. When the monster appears distracted by the fierce warriors in front of it, he stabs at the thick, slimy tail with his rapier. To his dismay, his rapier seems to go right through the creature as if it was made of mist, and he feels his blade pierce the grass and the thick, rich dirt below. As he pulls his rapier out, he feels a huge mass knock against his blade. At the same time, he sees the beast's tail slithering to the left on the grass. Ivar slowly realizes that the beast is actually several inches to the right of what he actually sees.
Ivar makes a mental note to aim to the right of what he sees, and hopes for the best.
From the side of the Inn, Baldor's hammer flies through the air, slugging the snake-creature in the head.
OoC - sorry, I ahve Baldor listed as Mithreandar.
