Finally rounding the stairs, Scun reached a space and tried to bludgeon the centipede with his club. His strikes found the carapace too tough for the moment (
Attack: 6 +7 =13).
Mona moved closer to the vicious battle, providing needed light to her comrades.
Ogrin stabbed at a gap in his foe's armor. He was rewarded with a monstrous trill of pain and ichor on his blade (
Attack: 14 +6 =20, Damage: 2 +5 -5 =2)
It was angry now. The gigantic vermin lunged at the halfling, viper-quick. Ogrin only had a single chance to discourage its attack with steel. Though he rammed half his blade into its head, it did not flinch nor cry (
Attack: 12 +6 =18, Damage: 2 +3 -5 =0). Mandibles clamped around his torso (
Touch Attack: 15 +5 =20).
So sudden was the centipede's grapple that Ogrin managed only a token effort to free himself (
Centipede Grapple: 20 +5 =25 vs. Ogrin Grapple: 1 -2 =-1). When they had a firm hold, the manibles squeezed (
Non-lethal Damage: 1 +1 =2).
To consolidate its grasp over the halfling, the centipede opened up its defenses. Rillian, Rasereit, Nezrak and the newly arrived Scun did not let the opportunity pass them by. They stabbed, hacked, slashed and clubbed the centipede as hard as they could.
Rillian: 12+4=16 Dmg: 6 +9 -5= 10
Rasereit: 9 +5=14 Dmg: 4 +3 -5 =2
Nezrak: 14 +4=18 Dmg: 8 +1 -5 = 4
Scun: 14 +7=21 Dmg: 4 +4 -5 =3
It shuddered in agony but did not fall. It did show signs of slowing down, though, especially with Rillian's stab to the vitals.
The smaller vermin were not idle during the nasty assault. The one that was beneath Ogrin did not bother to avoid the torch. It ripped flesh off of the grappled halfling's leg (
Attack: 16 +4 =20, Damage: 1), Staggering Ogrin with pain. Fortunately, his body resisted the numbing effects of Tiny vermin's poison (
Fort: 10 +1 =11).
The lesser centipede beneath Rasereit found the dwarf too light-footed to bite (
Attack: 5 +4=9)
Also, the centipede that bit at Rillian followed him but was similarly unsuccessful in its attack. (
Attack: 9 +4 =13)
Nezrak's fortunes was not as bad as Ogrin but was far worse than the others. His centipedes both drew blood and injected him with venom. (
Attack1: 8 +4 =12, Damage: 1, Attack2: 17 +4 =21, Damage:1). His limbs felt leaden with the toxin's effects (
Fort: 7 +1=9, Fort: 1 +1 =2, 2 points of dex damage).
