OOC: Initiative sequence: Sinspawn (
24), Jovik, Kael, Jokad, Danth
The Sinspawn, perhaps spurred on by the fear of its own death approaching, perhaps in fury at the soft flesh it will no longer get to feast upon, throws itself forward haphazardly into the melee, taking everyone by surprise, and finding itself suddenly inside the reach of Jokad's axe and shield.
It grabs at the suddenly exposed man's shoulders, successfully sinking its two wicked fingers from each hand into the flesh and holding him tight. It pulls its head back, ready to rip the face from the young man, when Jokad drops a knee and tries to spin the beast. He succeeds, falling hard, causing the Sinspawn to stumbe over him.
(OOC:
claw hits, claw hits, bite misses, doing
3 and 2 damage respectively)
Jovik sees his opening, but in his haste the cheap arrow snaps as he pulls it free from his quiver!
Kael, however, has better luck. Finding the Sinspawn exposed, the sorcerer hits it square in the open gullet with his Acid Splash spell, scoring an amazingly grotesque direct hit that disolves the two extending mandibles from the front of its face. It falls writing to the ground, screaming in agony as its life blood leaks out.
(OOC: Dead!)
The second Sinspawn, forced to watch impotently for the agonizing seconds of combat, is now unleashed into the fray. He steps forward while Jokad is still recovering, and moves immediately in to attack the barbarian. (OOC: initiative
20)
Perhaps it is the over eagerness of his assault that leaves him off balance, but the rising Jokad parries easily, giving the thing a firm boot in the gut in anger as he does so. (OOC:
all attacks miss)
Jokad follows up the boot in the gut with a truely wicked axe blow into the midrift of the Sinspawn. A spurt of blood bursts out, and inside a few grisly blue bits are visible. It still stands, but the blow was impressive.
Danth takes this opportunity well, knocking the foul creature across its exposed back. It is hurt, but it is still in the battle.
OOC: Jokad minus 5 hp, Sinspawn 1 dead, Sinspawn 2 minus 14 hp.
OOC: As mentioned, I am in Japan, but I am without internet on my MacBook Pro, so I am having to borrow a family laptop (with really strange keyboard setup), so my posting may be a little slower than normal.
Actions and initiatives please!
