ROUND FOUR:
Bahruul swings once more. While his defensive posture is obvious because he leaves himself in a good position to receive the scorpion's next attack, his axe does indeed land a solid blow against the scorpion. The blade of the axe finds a joint of the scorpion and causes another severe wound. The scorpion appears to be seriously injured now with wounds on many sides. One good blow - or two moderate ones - appear to be able to bring this creature down.
Byntrou's arrow leaps of his bow but sails just over the scorpion. The arrow strikes the far wall and falls to the ground.
The scorpion lunges at Bahruul once more with a huge double claw attack. The large bous is able to duck underneath on of the blows and knock the other claw attack away with the backside of his axe. The stinger once more rises high into the air, but it finds the rock floor solidly between Pwent and Bahruul.
Keryth lands a blow. While the blow is solid, it is not the one devastating shot that would nail the scorpion. The successful body shot does indeed wound the scorpion and push it even closer to death.

END OF COMBAT:
Pwent (NPCed) takes a swing at the scorpion but is unable to penetrate the creature's armor in spite of its seriously weakened conidition. Destiny prepares to fire, but at the last minute she sees that Bahruul has a good shot lined up. She decides to hold off on the potential shot to allow Bahruul to get the glory.
Bahruul's axe does indeed bit ahrd into the corpion and splits open the scorpion's skull. The large beast immedately falls headfirst onto the ground and slowly the back end of the scorpion joins the front end on the ground. Limply, the stinger falls backwards away from the body - nearly striking Keryth as it collides with the rock floor. It is quite apparent that the beast is indeed dead.
Looking around the room, it appears that the animal had just recently bitten off the hand that fed it. There is a dead hobgoblin in the far corner. The hobgoblin looks as though it was killed and dragged across the room into the far corner. The hobgoblin is wearing a set of spiked armor. THe armor didn't apparently help him much.
Pwent:
[Sblock]Immediately Pwent recognizes this as the armor that had been stolen a few nights ago from him in the inn. Other than smelling a bit like sweaty hobgoblin - it looks otherwise in the same condition as the last time Pwent saw it.[/Sblock]

Wiping scorpion muck from his blade Bahruul staggers a little as the pain from his wounds hits home, he slowly walks over towards the wall, leans against it and slowly slides down it to a sitting position "I think we should rest a minute" he says, all the time grimacing in pain.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric
Finally able to see Bahruul clearly again, Keryth rushes around the scorpion carcass to his side. Dropping his morningstar, he reaches out and places his free hand on Bahruul chanting a quick prayer in draconic. Upon finishing his prayer, he grins and says, “Well I guess we needed the healing rather than the strength after all...”
OOC
[SBLOCK]Keryth casts cure moderate wounds (2d8+7) on Bahruul, powered by his prepared bull’s strength.[/SBLOCK]

Byntrou, sorcerous barbarian
Byntrou hurries into the room as the creature falls, holding his bow at the ready a moment to make sure there are no other surprises. After Keryth has finished healing Bahruul, he says gratefully, "Many thanks, Keryth. You've been a great boon since we met, though I hope you'll not take offense if I wish we need no more of your healing as we head further into this wretched place."
Realizing Pwent will likely be charging the goblinoid body once he realizes what it bears, Byn decides instead to investigate the rest of the room. He switches his bow for his scimitar and begins taking the lay of the land.
[sblock=OOC]If I remember right, there's a percentage chance that a missed arrow is still reusable. Did either of Byntrou's shots survive to fly another day?[/sblock]

Keryth's spell does help Bahruul heal his wounds. All his visible wounds stop bleeding, although there are still bruises, scars, and obviously sensitive spots of damage still visible.
Destiny approaches Bahruul, Pwent, Keryth and says, "You all fought mighty valiantly. I was impressed to have you all up front. I'm sorry my own attacks seemed to be of little use."
Byntrou's search of the rest of the room reveals a simple square room with no other doors, nooks, or crannies. As he looks for spent ammunition, Byntrou discovers that his first arrow is reusable while his second arrow splintered the shaft as it deflected of the creature's armor.
Keryth, Bahruul:
[Sblock]Bahruul regains 15 damage.[/Sblock]
Byntrou:
[Sblock]OOC: I have that bringing Byntrou to 11 arrows. Sound about right?[/Sblock]
