*The first attack barely manages to drop one opponent, but the follow-through is insufficient to defeat the other opponent.*
*The last remaining Afflicted of the entire bunch snarls angrily but continues to fight unto death, clawing Ironwolf twice, one of which barely hits only because Ironwolf is such a big target.*
(OOC: Ironwolf takes 24, but would have only been 9 if he had 1 more AC
)
*Almayce is unable to get down to Hulgyr yet, but he can just wait, since there's only one more Afflicted.*
*Meanwhile, Eternity transfers some of Hulgyr's pain to herself.*
(OOC: Hulgyr recovers 13 and is at 4, which will be -4 when Rage ends. Eternity loses her temp HP and then takes 8 Damage)
*Zaeryl shrugs and shoots the big Afflicted in the back, as far away as possible from Ironwolf to avoid firing into melee. The final Afflicted drops like a rock.*
(OOC: Well played, folks.
XP Time! I'll just give XP for the smaller Afflicted first, then you get XP from the larger Afflicted after dealing with the aftermath, including the prisoners
So that comes down to...let's see--9000 XP for each character for the smaller ones (more than the big ones by a lot, apparently). Darned mass enemies and darned DMG XP chart. If you encounter the no-double-leveling rule, I apologise, but I can't do anything about that either.
EDIT: Lookign through, the only ones with notable losses here are Hulgyr and Almayce. Of those, it seems Almayce can avoid this fate if Xael has enough GM credits to buy level 5 really fast)
