Rapiers and Rocketships

[ajanders]

To arms!

As swiftly as he can, Roland draws his revolver and fires into the beast, shouting "Get back from the water!" If the woman might be hit, he instead draws his rapier and attacks (Designating the creature as dodge target in either event).

If Roland is firing his pistol, Tom will pick up a rock and throw it at the creature (range attack +7). If Roland closes to melee, Tom will charge in with him and hammer the creature with his fists, using improved brawl.
Either way, he shouts "Shoo!" as loudly as he can.

LeeAnn, jumps back and tries to cover herself. (Full Defense)

 

[Radiant]

Sinead still has her head bowed over the water and stares shoked at the creauture through the strands of her wet hair.

 

[Tars Tarkus]

With the short time to react, Roland draws his pistol and Tom looks around and finds a fist sized rock nearby and picks it up.

The beast quickly drops the woman who falls like a broken doll into the water. It lets out a short coughing roar and pounces on the young man nearby, knocking him into and under the water. Blood begins to fill the water as the beast worries at him like a rabid dog.

Round 1:
Creature 16 - Attacks man.
Leeann 16
Sinead 12
Ben 10
Roland 9
Tom 8

 

[Jarval]

Moving quickly now the initial shock of the creature's appearance has worn off, Ben quickly pulls his pistol from its holster and fires on the beast, hoping at the very least to dissuade it from its prey.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Moving quickly now the initial shock of the creature's appearance has worn off, Ben quickly pulls his pistol from its holster and fires on the beast, hoping at the very least to dissuade it from its prey.

Roland fires his pistol while shouting, evidently trying to attract the beast's attention away from its victim. With his left hand, he pulls free his rapier from its case.

Tom pulls up abruptly and fires his rock at the creature as bullets whiz past him. He continues to shout ferociously (and probably shockingly to most of the women) while he looks for a bigger rock to throw.
A much bigger rock.

 

[Radiant]

Sinead retreats slowly from the pool of water. (Full defense)

 

[Tars Tarkus]

Ben pulls out his pistol and fires a shot at the beast. It roars in pain and rears it's head up out of the water.

Roland fires as well but his shot barely misses the creature.

Tom throws the rock like some all-star pitcher for the Dodgers and hits the otter like monster right in the head with a solid thunk.

The others scatter like leaves away from the creature and the water.

With a low angry growl, the beast jumps out of the water and pounces on Ben, knocking him to the ground. (take 5 points subdual as you are pinned to the ground under the beast.) .

Round 2:
Creature 16 - Bull Rushs Ben.
