He failed to break the grapple.Jinx yells a warning to the others. "Ware! Something big speaking the tongue of giants coming up from the hall to the south! Says it's gonna bash heads." Unsure whether to sling a dagger at the owlbear even as it grasps and squeezes poor Zirat, Jinx hesitates then decides to lay a distraction for whatever it is coming up from the south that wants to bash heads. Quickly casting a spell and unsure as to whether he'll permanently morph into a spider but taking a calculated risk that the magic will eventually wear off, Jinx drops Bauble's riding basket then starts walking up the wall.Ciaran curses under his breath at the voice down the hall, then shouts back as loudly and as deeply in the same language from earlier. Still, he thought, this is not a good situation. He creeps along the wall another 5'. He concentrates, reaching out, trying to grasp the end of the chain and pull it toward him. The wizard frowns as he uses his spell to tug at the chain...either it is much heavier than his spell's limit, or it is anchored at the far end where it disappears into the darkness.Deren moves around the creature and throws another dagger, careful to avoid throwing it into one of his allies. The blade sinks in, leaving another bleeding wound upon the beast's feathered hide.[sblock=For Deren]In the very dim light down the hallway to the south (perhaps 30' away from him), Deren can make out a large form striding towards him. Perhaps some 9 feet in hieght, it appears to be thin and gangly. The halfling's eyes aren't keen enough to make out any more detail than that.[/sblock]Aeron makes another prayer to Pelor and attempts to heal Zirat.The pain in Shoon's chest suddenly starts to fade, and the bleeding stops.  Shoon looks behind himself to see Aeron using his healing magic on him. "I am sorry for my weakness, thank you Aeron."  Just then he hears a cry of pain and turns back to the battle to see Zirat being crushed to death in the creatures massive arms.  "Curse you, monster!" he hisses and he returns to the battle. The agile monk strikes out with his nunchaku, beating the great bear-beast about the shoulders.The powerful creature continues to grip Zirat in its crushing hug, and despite the healing bestowed upon him by Aeron, the gladiator feels a rib pop as a searing pain tears through his torso.Zirat's action to go here!Sir Merrick brings his glaive down again in a two handed slash against the beast that is intent upon tearing Zirat apart. Although the heavy blade tears another ragged, bloody wound in the thing's flesh, it doesn't appear as though it is going to let go of its captured prey.Again, comes the low rumbling voice speaking in giantish, echoing down the hallway toward you.[sblock=For Jinx and Ciaran]The words are clear enough to Jinx and Ciaran. "Blimey! Just call out t' password, and I'll pull t' beast in!"[/sblock]Sorry again, guys. We are remodeling at work, and it is making it hell to get my long posts up! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Initiative CountJinx 24, casts spider climb; moves (although Jinx's marker appears outside the room, that is just my way of noting he is up the wall.)Ciaran 24, 5' step; casts mage handDeren 24, move; attack vrs owlbear 24 (success), damage 4Shoon 17, move; attack vrs owlbear 18 (success), damage 7Aeron 17, move; casts cure moderate wounds on Zirat (15 points)Owlbear 16, opposed grapple check 25 vrs 23 (success), damage 10Zirat 8, ?Merrick 6, attack vrs owlbear 17 (success), damage 9PC StatusShoon    16/18Zirat    12/31 - grappled![sblock=Opponent Status - Players No Look!]Owlbear        20/66, Str reduced to 20[/sblock]</blockquote>
