The Second Body
OOC: Group move silently versus opposed listen check: 16 vs 14, success!
The group edge forward slowly, taking as much care as possible to keep the noise down. Every step seems to send up some jarring noise; the clash of a scabbard on armour, the sloshing of a water bottle, the crunch of some rough stones under-foot, but somehow the sounds of eating continue, as if the beast has not heard you.
When you reach the first opening, it is clear that the noise is coming from within. It is a strange, kidney-bean shaped room, clearly half natural, half hacked out of the rock. Within the room you can see the faintest outline of something feasting in the far corner.
Then the light of the sunrod casts a thick sheet of light into the room, casting everything into relief. Another Sinspawn spins from its meal, the half eaten corpse of the other missing town guard, and roars its fury at you. It is up and across the cavern at you in an instant, barely giving you time to prepare.
Battle is engaged once again. Initiative rolls and actions please! See map below for positions. The mid grey colour represents areas that you cannot yet see fully because of the lack of light or the distance.

Upon seeing the beast turn, Kael launches a blast of eldritch power from the twisted fingers of his right hand, as he shouts out the familiar word, "SHARATH!!!"

Jokad silently vows to keep his emotions in check this time and maintain his disipline. He moves quickly into the room meeting the charging sinspawn. He leads with his shield held high to block the creature's view of his axe whistling in from the side.
Init 10, Hit AC 18 for 11 dmg.

OOC: That's a good start
Sorry for the delay. I'm been out of town for few days.

Whether from surprise or fright Jovik moved a step slower than usual. But though he starts slow, he tumbles quickly and agilely around the Sinspawn next to Jokad. Jovi takes a swipe at the Sinspawn but misses.

Jovik Tumble Post 396 (1d20+8=22)
I realized after I rolled that I didn't need to tumble to move 5', but I was originally planning on being on the other side, but Danth provides a flank![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")

I presume he misses at least.

Sinspawn Number 2, Round 1
OOC: Sinspawn initiative 9
Order of round: Kael, Jokad, Mandraiv, Sinspawn, Jovik, Danth
The deformed humanoid comes bounding towards you with its loping gait eating up the distance towards you much more quickly than you would have liked. Its loping, bouncing steps are reminiscent of a dogs, but everything else about it is a mockery of some horrific image of man.
Kael doesn't wait to see how things develop. The young sorcerer once again responds swiftly and calmly to the horrors that faces them. He unleashes his powerful magic, watching the streaking bolts of mystic power strike into the Sinspawn's midst. It doesn't even pause in its stride.
OOC: Sinspawn -4hp
Jokad follows up. He is cautious now, all to aware of the double attack employed by the beast. It comes up to the small group, focusing on the priest, Danth, who is preparing to swing his morning star (OOC: Sinspawn victim selection roll). Jokad sees this, sees that the Sinspawn has left itself open to attack. And attack he does. His axe swings hard and true, digging deep into the back of the Sinspawn. It lets out a horrendous scream, its fury redoubled as thick blood gushes from the gaping wound.
OOC: Sinspawn -11hp, -4hp
Mandraiv lets loose the blessing of Desna, laying a warm wash of courage and focus upon you all (OOC: +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects).
And then the Sinspawn is upon Danth. (OOC: claw, claw, bite. Rolls: 12, 5, 13). It showers a hail of blows upon the cleric, but he is braced well, his shield before him. He easily turns each attack. It feels too easy, as if the battle is slipping slowly across his vision. He watches each move forming, reads it well, and moves to deflect. It feels like poetry to him.
Jovik moves quickly, darting to the side, opening up the Sinspawn, but his attack his clawed away, drawing nothing but a yell from the creature.
It may have been a failed attack from the young rogue, but his movement opens up the beast to Danth. The cleric, emboldened by the bless spell, emboldened by his own actions in deflecting the savage attacks of the Sinspawn that could so easily have torn him apart, and now finding his opponent left open to his attack, swings down with his morning star.
It cracks its skull like an egg.
(OOC: damage of 9)
The Sinspawn in dead.
Danth's morning star is not a pretty sight!
