Tales of the eldeen reaches

[ShaggySpellsword]

Ranvar continues to try and size up the animal on the creature's leash in an attempt to determine what it is.

 

[DrZombie]

With a blood-curdling cry silver launches herself towards the monster to the north.A faint expression of surprise can be seen on it's face when the huge axe cleaves it's skull in two. (crit hit dmg 20+)

Umbra drops to all fours and crawls away, looking for a spot from where he can set up an ambush.

Roral and Stulgar pop out from behind a rock and a tree to exchange a few friendly volleys of bolts with the creatures, who return the favor in much the same way. They are moving cautiously closer.

The creature is unleashed and Ranvar can get more details then he wants to as the creature charges towards him. It looks like a dog with scales, and its saliva sizzles and pops when it hits the ground.

Finally, in continuation of the general mood, both caw and the creature to the west miss their shot.

Round 2....

 

[Krug]

Caw loads his crossbow anxiously and fires at the creatures, hiding behind available cover and keeping close to the rest of the party. "What creatres are this..." he mutters to Aliur.

Move action towards Roral and Stulgar and fire off Sling.

Roll: 18 + 3 = 21
Damage: 7

 

[Bront]

Stulgar fires again, and gets much closer with a potentialy strong strike.

Stulgar Bow Attack (d20+4 = 14 + 1 (Bless) = 15)
Stulgar Bow Damage (1d8=5)

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Ranvar draws his weapon and prepares to smash the dog with acidic saliva as soon as he gets within reach.

OOC: Ready an action to hit the dog when in reach.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Roral ducks just a bit as the creature from the west fires it's crossbow, but the bolt sails way too high. He pulls out another arrow and nocks it... pulling hard on the bowstring.

'Show yourself... just a little bit... here we go...'

And he releases the arrow right at the creature's head.

((Attack [18] + 1 = 19)) ((Dmg [6]))

 

[Ferrix]

Umbra peers out from the scrub, he'll advance up the hill in as best silence as he can, hoping to come around and flank the creatures as they descend down the hill. He draws out his shortbow and knocks an arrow.

Round two:
It takes the combined effort of roral, stulgar and Caw for one of the creatures to the east to go down, three arrows and bolts sticking in it's tough hide.

The others seem unafraid, advancing uphill whilst shooting their crosbows at anything moving, without actually hitting much.

The dog-like creature bounds uphill, snarling and throwing itself at ranvar. Ranvar strikes a glancing blow at the creature, but is bowled over and screams as he feels the acid eating into his face (2 hp).
He wrestles and tries to keep the creature from chewing away his face, when he feels the creature go limp, with a crossbow-bolt sticking behind its ear.
He looks up to see Umbra giving him a tight little grin while he reloads his crossbow.
To the west you can hear clashes of weapons and screaming.

[Krug]

Without magical spells now,Caw reloads his crossbow.He tries to get a good shot while firing into the melee. "Oh Aluir...how does one hit anything?" he mutters. The bolt embeds itself in a tree.

Attack: 4+3-4=3
