Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rybaer" data-source="post: 1223669" data-attributes="member: 118">Pirythanis spots a dog not too far from where Khajom called out the warning.  Drawing his sword as he hurries over, he catches it mid-stride as it charges toward the litorian.  Pirythanis misjudges the dog's location and speed in the dark grass, however, and his sword misses wide.  [roll (3+3=6, miss)]Pyior lifts his staff and utters a few arcane words.  Unseen, a coherent beam of mental energy lashes out at the dog, tagging it but failing to knock it unconscious.  [ranged touch roll (16+2-4=14, hit); dmg 4 subdual]  While watching how the dog reacts, Pyior shuffles closer toward Khajom and inquires as to his companion's well-being.Ys-Baddaden reaches across his pack and hefts his morningstar.  He spies a dog charging him and holds to whack it as it comes within reach.Osric, still startled by the rude dog, backs quickly away, carefully avoiding another attack.  He reaches his pile of belongings and lifts his bow and quiver.  Almost second nature, the quiver is slung over his shoulder and he starts to draw an arrow.Khajom realizes that two dogs are closing in on him from different directions.  When he spots Pirythanis move to intercept one, Khajom turns to the other and tries to tackle it.  The oathsworn completely underestimates the dog's speed and actually trips over the dog, tumbling into the grass.  [initiate grapple roll (1 - fumble)]The lean dog that Osric had fed decides to chase down the benevolent akashic.  Osric manages to swat its muzzle aside and again avoids being bitten.  [roll (6), miss]Ys-Baddaden holds his morningstar coiled until the last moment and whips it around at the charging dog.  The dog deftly dodges the blow in spite of its reckless charge.  [roll (3+4=7), miss]  The dog growls and snaps at the giant's legs, but seems off balance and misses as well.  [roll (11), miss]The dog that Pirythanis swung at hesistates just a moment, apparently considering whether to break off the charge at the litorian in favor of attacking the sibbecai.  When it sees Khajom go to the ground, however, instinct kicks in and it joins the other dog in piling on the prone opponent.  [2 attacks on Khajom, flanking and prone; roll (18), hit, dmg 5; roll (16), hit, dmg 3]  Both dogs sink their fangs into the litorian.  In addition to the pain, Khajom feels a sickly sensation coursing into his blood from the wounds.  His body seems to be resisting the effect, whatever it may be.  [fort save (18+4=22), good; fort save (13+4=17), good]Danwyn sees the events transpiring as he begins to draw his sword.  One dog is on Osric and another on Ys-Baddaden.  Those two both seem to be holding their own.  Khajom, however, is lost to sight in the grass underneath two snarling dogs.  The choice is simple and he rushes to the aid of the litorian.  As he closes with the dogs, he swings at the closer of the two but misses wide.  [roll (4+4=8), miss] [ooc - I'll pause to give everyone a chance to adjust actions according to how this round went.  Lots of low rolling from ye ole d20 tonight.  Assume that Ys-Baddaden and Osric are both near the center of camp and have a dog each within 5'.  Khajom is about 30' from camp and has two dogs on him.  Danwyn is right beside that pile and Pyior and Pirythanis are both about 10' from them.Also, Ys-Baddaden has now moved down between Khajom and the dogs in the initiative order...which probably won't affect much.]</blockquote>
