As he steps inside, he sees Terrence and Francisco trying to fight off a shadowy beast. Thinking fast, he grabs an emergency butane lantern from the shelf and a butane container, igniting the lantern and shedding light on their opponent.Janice follows shortly after Tom, hoping out of the truck and making her way furtively inside the store. At one of the aisles, she nabs a bottle of cleaning fluid and chucks it at the monster, hoping to distract it (-2 on next attack). She then grabs a hood ornament and tosses it as well (-2 to AC from next attack).Xavier keeps an eye on the truck with Harry and makes sure there is nothing coming at the group from anywhere else.The creature presses the attack against Terrence, slashing at him with its sharp, deadly forearms, seeking to rend him limb from limb. He ducks and dodges out of the way as best he can but zigs where he should have zagged and winds up being jabbed in the chest (8 points) followed by a nasty slice on his thigh (7 points). As he darts to the side of the aisle to shove it on top of the creature, Francisco lets loose with a bolt from his crossbow nicking the creature on its armored plates leaving a bit of green liquid spilling from the small wound (1 point).A section of the aisle falls over on top of the beast, burying it underneath a pile of oil canisters and hubcaps (7 points and prone). It struggles for a moment to get up, then leaps after Terrence, who has moved to intercept it with his knife. His blade slides harmlessly off the chitinous shell as the creature's razor-sharp leg draws a minor cut on his left arm (2 points).The sound of gunshots outside momentarily distracts the combatants as the rear door sparks. Soon after, James drives through shoulder first into the back of the store to see the carnage that is taking place.Kyle rushes through the parking lot, stopping along the way to snatch a tire iron (improvised weapon, 1d6) from a smashed and overturned vehicle. Once inside he hands it to Tom, who seems a bit stronger than he is.Terrence continues to hack at the beast with his knife, looking for an open spot between it chitinous armor, but his next jab is poorly placed, and the beast knocks his blade to the side with one foreleg while piercing his side with the other (6 points).Francisco, realizing Terrence is in serious trouble, moves quickly to support him with his sword cane, trying desperately, but to little avail, to jab at the beast. James, seeing an opening, levels his revolver at the creature and fires off a shot that strikes true, puncturing the creature at the side and causing a spray of green liquid to pour forth (7 points).[sblock=OOC] Next three rounds of actions. Please roll attacks/skills/etc. along with one "just in case" d20 for each round and include it with your actions at the end of your post.22 - Tom20 - Xavier18 - Terrence17 - Creature14 - Janice12 - James4 - Francisco2 - Kyle[/sblock]</blockquote>
