He meets it at the gap and hacks at it with his bastard sword. The blow opens a dark gash on the gnoll’s forearm, and bright red blood rushes forth.Hardin moves his giant body up and over the stone wall, positioning himself on the other side of the gnolls from Slyfen. One of the gnolls takes advantage of Hardin’s vulnerability as he moves over the wall, but the battleaxe is no match for Hardin’s armor. Hardin hopes that this position will make it virtually impossible for these two gnolls to retreat.Slyfen, now flanking a gnoll with Hardin, takes aim and stabs at the stinking beast. Unfortunately, the gnoll has turned its attention back to Slyfen, and is able to block the elf’s rapier with his heavy steel shield.Belisha finishes her spell, and a marvelous celestial giant bombardier beetle appears next to one of the gnolls between Hardin and Slyfen. The beetle immediately proceeds to unleash a cloud of acidic gas, engulfing both of the gnolls in this area. They are overcome, and writhe in pain as their eyes and hide burn! Impressed with the result, Belisha draws her crossbow, and moves into the room to get a better shot at one of the gnolls. Her loyal guard dog stays at her side, preparing to bite any gnoll that attacks her.The gnoll engaged in combat with Eolan brings down his battleaxe, but Eolan deftly pulls back at just the right moment, avoiding the rusty blade. Similarly, Hardin avoids the attack of one of the gnolls between him and Slyfen. Unfortunately, the final gnoll has more success. With a grunt he brings his battleaxe down forcefully onto the glimmering golden carapace of the celestial beetle. A hairline crack in its shell results—and the beetle surprises everyone by responding with a pained, insectile shriek. The gnoll, alarmed as much by this disturbing sound as by his position between three opponents, steps to the side away from it.End of Round 2OOC Notes:SlyfenDelays until after Hardin’s turnOil of magic weapon in effect for 2 more roundsEolanMoves 10’Bastard sword 1h hits (AC 15, Atk roll 18 + 6 = 24)3 damage (Dmg roll [1d10+2] 1 + 2 = 3) gnoll 1 reduced to 8 hpHardinMoves 35’ provoking AoO from gnoll 3You now havemagic weapon for 20 more roundsshield of faith for 19 more roundsbull’s strength for 18 more roundsenlarge person for 5 more roundsdivine favor for 4 more rounds, andprotective ward for almost 1 hrGnoll 3Battleaxe misses (Hardin AC 17, Atk roll 7 + 3 = 10)SlyfenRapier flanking sneak attack misses (gnoll 3 AC 15, Atk roll 6 + 6 + 2 = 14)Belisha(I’m ruling that you started the full-round action [casting summon monster II] as the second part of your actions last round [as a standard action], so you can finish the spell now as the first part of your action in this round [as a standard action]. The beetle’s place in the initiative order will be right before yours, and you have only a move action left in round 2. This ruling is an exception—from now on, full-round actions will need to take place in a single round, not be spread out across rounds.)Completes casting summon monster IIGiant Bombardier BeetleRound 1 of 3Acid spray encompasses gnolls 2 and 3Gnoll 2Fails Fort save (DC 15, die result 8 + 4 = 12)4 damage (Dmg roll [1d4+2] 2 + 2 = 4) gnoll 2 reduced to 7 hpGnoll 3Fails Fort save (DC 15, die result 10 + 4 = 14)3 damage (Dmg roll [1d4+2] 1 + 2 = 3) gnoll 3 reduced to 8 hpBelishaMoves 10’, drawing crossbowRufusReadies an attack against anyone threatening BelishaGnoll 1Battleaxe misses (Eolan AC 15, Atk roll 10 + 3 = 13)Gnoll 2Battleaxe misses (Hardin AC 17, Atk roll 4 + 3 = 7)Gnoll 3Battleaxe hits (GB beetle AC 16, Atk roll 20 + 3 = 23) critical threatNo critical hit (Verifier roll 11 + 3 = 14)4 damage (Dmg roll [1d8+2] 2 + 2 = 4) GB beetle reduced to 13 hp5’ stepOK, PC actions for Round 3 please!</blockquote>
