Combat , round 5
From his position on the ceiling, Jinx lets out a slight yelp upon seeing the troll approaching, and hopes the thing doesn't have the reach to get to him. The gnome begins speaking the words of magic, and a moment later a bright line of crackling flames lashes out at the beast! The flames strike true, and the troll lets loose a savage growl of pain as some of its rubbery flesh chars and blackens.
Ciaran looks with relief as Zirat escapes the owlbear's clutches. He gathers his energies for a spell, but then notes the troll fast approaching. Sighing, he changes his focus to the green gangly giant, and, while keeping his crossbow trained on the owlbear, lets loose a spell, hoping its pulsing energies confuse the troll's muscles. As the strength sapping ray stikes the troll, the massive creature falters mid-step, nearly falling as it fights against the waves of weakness coursing through its body.
Deren's eyes bug-out as the troll strides ever closer. With a shake of his head, he throws another dagger at the nearby owlbear, and then retreats to the safety of his companions. The well placed dagger sinks into the furry beast.
Seeing the new threat, Shoon calls out "We must move back to the hall way!" However, unwilling to abandon his allies who are still fighting, he does not do so immediately and instead moves five feet to his right and strikes the owlbear with his Masterwork Nunchaku. The weapon bounces off the thing's thick fur, not seeming to do it any harm.
"Damned attrition," Aeron mumbles. The cleric says another prayer for Zirat, knowing that the warrior still has much work to do. More healing floods into the gladiator's body, restoring nearly all of his vitality back to him.
With a clack and a hiss, the blood-soaked owlbear lurches forward, and again swings its powerful arms into the melee. Zirat's armor absorbs one of the blows, and Shoon ducks under the other. The deadly beak then comes in, but again fails to inflict a wound upon the arena champion.
Zirat recovers his weapon from the floor and smashes it down upon the owlbear! The taste of sweet vengeance is his as the heavy chain sheers through the beast's skull, slaying it.
Leaping the bulky corpse of the dead owlbear as it falls, Merrick takes the battle to the newest foe, slashing a wide wound across the troll's chest with his glaive.
The troll steps north, and then attacks. In its weakened state, it is unable to penetrate Merrick's armor, but one long, gangely arm strikes Shoon, sharp claws tearing bloody trails across his arm and shoulder.
