[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7169870, member: 20323"] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5yRzP1Q.jpg[/IMG] It is a barely perceptible shift, perhaps only truly noticeable to those of faith, but Hakiyah the Honest guides your blades to the weak points in the hydra's scaled hide, showing you the safest path along the pond's edge to evade its crushing coils. Husam's charger proves a fine gift, plunging headlong toward the pond in a display of courage that rivals Harun's own princely steed. Leaping clear over the shallows, he gouges out an eye from one of its head, driving the monstrosity back, piercing his blade through an open maw coming at him, then spinning his sword to sever the head in an arc of flame, sending the snapping head skipping across the pond's surface before landing at Derafsh's feet. Black blood leaks from the hydra's wounds as it shrieks, trying to lift its heavy limbs to avoid Husam's onslaught to no avail. There were legends told to Husam by his father of such creatures, whose wounds must be cauterized with flame to prevent their heads from becoming legion. However, this hydra seems as much a creature of water as one of fire. Seven fire-breathing heads! Surely legends would have spread far and wide from Hakim Oasis if such a monster long haunted its watering hole... Hissing in serpentine defiance, the hydra spins its body in the water, lashing out with an uncoiling tail against all within 15 feet of the water's edge! [GM]Yes looks good [MENTION=20005]Matthan[/MENTION]! You're a whirlwind of death! The hydra takes 88 damage total (fire does not seem to harm it). FYI, for those who don't know, [B][I]bless[/I][/B] provides a +1d4 bonus to any attack or saving throw you make while it is in effect. If you're at the water's edge, make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 7 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. "Amina" is obviously exempt. [MENTION=6855204]tglassy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=20005]Matthan[/MENTION] definitely need to make saves. I'll let [MENTION=6814006]Thateous[/MENTION] [MENTION=23]Ancalagon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6803188]VLAD the Destroyer[/MENTION] decide whether or not they're within 15 feet of the pond's edge & subject to the hydra's tail attack. EDIT: *Probably* Akilah is subject to the attack because range on her [I]bless[/I] is 30 feet.[/GM] [GM][b]INITIATIVE[/b] [MENTION=23]Ancalagon[/MENTION] [MENTION=6855204]tglassy[/MENTION] [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] it's a new round, back to you all!
