"Look, ummm.... ghouls... I think," he says, pointing towards the creatures.Verdis sends another ray of eldritch energy at a foe, striking the same foul beast as before and blasting it over backward.Two of the creatures step in close to Ragnok, unleashing a barrage of dirty nails and yellow teeth at the dwarf. Unfortunately for Ragnok, he suffers a pair of minor claw wounds...and discover why ghouls make such fearsome foes as his body becomes frozen in place.Two Axe stands and delivers. He can hardly guess what these creatures are, but they do seem to be hurt by his axe. His first strike cuts one of the beasts down, and his second blow carves a chunk of dessicated fesh from the second creautre's side.Marco scratches at his head slightly. Honestly, it seemed like Ragnok and the new axeman had things under control. And combat wasn't exactly his forte. It seemed more likely that an unlucky riccochet would catch one of his allies. Shruging to himself he contents himself with shouting advice to his teammates on how best to defeat the ghouls.The final ghoul leaps on Two Axe, digging the claws of one hand into his flesh. The half-orc feels his muscles begin to lock-up as he is paralyzed by the ghoul's attack.Coraine grits his teeth, frustrated to be held back by the intervening bars. Digging deep, he attempts to heave them still further up. Dara continues to lift the portcullies as well, hopefully allowing either Ragnor and Two-Axe to retreat, or rather the rest of them to help out. Somehow, between the two of them, they force the portcullis even higher, up above their heads, leaving the way before you open.Initiative CountOtto 23, ready actionVerdis 23, attack vrs G6 17 (success), damage 12<s>Ghoul 1</s>Ghoul 2 21, 5' step, claw vrs Ragnok "20" (threat), confirm 16 (failure), damage 2; claw vrs Ragnok 18 (failure); bite vrs Ragnok 10 (failure)Ghoul 3 21, claw vrs Ragnok 10 (failure); claw vrs Ragnok "20" (threat), confirm 7 (failure), damage 1; bite 21 (failure)Dara 19, Str check to aid another 15 (success)Two Axe 18, attack vrs G4 19 (success), damage 6; attack vrs G5 16 (success), damage 4; fort save 13 (failure)Marco 7Ragnok 7, fort save 10 (failure) - paralyzed[/s]Ghoul 4 6[/s]Ghoul 5 6, claw vrs Two Axe 5 (failure); claw vrs Two Axe 19 (success), damage 3; bite vrs Two Axe 5 (failure)<s>Ghoul 6 6</s>Coraine 4, str check 25 (20+3+2)PC StatusRagnok 29/32, paralyzed 4 roundsTwo Axe 25/28, paralyzed 5 rounds[sblock=Opponent Status - Player's don't look!]Ghoul 1 deadGhoul 4 deadGhoul 5 9/13Ghoul 6 dead[/sblock]</blockquote>
