Round 2.
Seeing that his first blow was ineffectual, Jordeh swings again trying to prove that it was merely an abberation. However, once again a mighty blow cleaves through the flesh of the beast only to have it seal up right after it passes, leaving no mark.
Zig fires a bolt of psionic energy at the creature. This appears to do some damage, but the fast metabolic process of the strange entity heals the wound as you watch.
Lazz'rut, seeing his arrows have little effect, retreats to the shadows and hides (31), and noone is able to see him at all.
The creature once again lashes at Valjean with a pseudopod. This time, it times the strike in conjunction with a tug at the trapped shield, and manages to slip a hit past Valjean's defenses. Valjean is only hit for a mild wound (6 HP damage), but the appendage sticks like glue to his body, and he is grappled.
In round 3 Bruk and Lorelin will arrive. Melvos, due to his reluctance, but arrive the round after.
Oh, in case anyone is curious, I will be awarding experience after each dungeon level is completed.
