*Rhys heads to Irene's side and readies an attack in case the beast comes in range, though with its reach, it probably will not. Still he figures he might as well.*
*The creature surprises everyone by making a strange clacking and then instantly vanishing and reappearing ten feet away from Irene on the opposite side from Rhys and the others, where it unleashes a barrage of powerful attacks on the little halfling. Unfortunately for Irene, she hadn't placed her magical force armour atop her unprotected chest, and so the creature, fortune on its side, rips into her with little difficulty with all but a single claw, leaving her in a very dire state, poison pumping through her veins.*
(OOC: Irene takes 25 Damage and makes her Fort Save
During her turn, Irene drops by 1 HP from blood loss
Everybody else's turn)
