He attempts to push it back from the wall so he can get a better angle of attack at it. The gnoll, while unable to take advantage of Eolan’s risky move, steels himself and fights off the attempted bull rush.Hardin continues to have terrible luck in the battle. He swings again at the gnoll brave enough to maintain its engagement with him. But again the swing goes astray. He begins to wonder if all this spell power was spent for naught.Slyfen has only a few seconds left of the effects of his oil of magic weapon. Seeking to take advantage of it, he again strikes at the gnoll engaged with him. This time, the rapier finds its mark! As he is hit in the chest, the gnoll abruptly stops and makes a strange choking noise. When Slyfen removes the blade, the gnoll slowly looks down at the new wound, and deep red, thick blood begins to ooze out.The celestial giant bombardier beetle beside them turns his attention to the gnoll fighting Hardin, he charges and strikes with his powerful mandibles. The gnoll screams in shock and pain as the golden hooks sink deeply into his flesh. The party is a bit surprised at the display of violence from the glorious creature. Belisha has indeed summoned forth a formidable example of the celestial beetle.However, reacting to her recent unsuccessful ranged attack, the wizard sighs. "Obviously my crossbow skills are still a tad.. awful." Heartened, though, by the success of the beetle, she decides to go back to magic. Dropping her crossbow, she ruffles through her scrolls and retrieves a copy of magic missile. She quickly reads the writing on the parchment and sticks her hand out. A green missile of magical energy rushes forth and strikes the gnoll in melee with Eolan, knocking the wind out of him.Gathering his strength, however, the gnoll brings his battleaxe down on Eolan’s leg. The axe head doesn’t stop until it hits bone, and Eolan is filled with burning agony.The gnoll engaged with Slyfen, gestures to the large pile of rocks in the back of the room and cries out a few syllables in a language none in the party understand. He then takes one last pathetic swing at Slyfen. The elf easily sidesteps the attack, and the weight of the falling battleaxe brings the dying gnoll down to the floor after it.The gnoll engaged with Hardin and the beetle sees this, and his eyes grow wide with fear. Apparently responding to the dying gnoll’s cry, he turns and makes a break for the rock pile. However, before he makes it even 5 feet, Hardin’s enormous warhammer crushes him against the cave wall. His dead, broken body leaves a red trail of blood as it slides down the wall to slump on the cave floor. “Praise be to Moradin!” cries the dwarven cleric. “Let the stone drink his vile blood!”End of Round 4OOC Notes:EolanAttempts bull rush, provoking AoO    Battleaxe misses (AC 15, Atk roll 6 + 3 = 9)Eolan Str check result 8 + 2 = 10 vs. Gnoll Str check result 20 + 2 = 22Bull rush failsHardinWarhammer misses (AC 15, Atk roll 3 + 8 = 11)You now havemagic weapon for 18 more roundsshield of faith for 17 more roundsbull’s strength for 16 more roundsenlarge person for 3 more roundsdivine favor for 2 more rounds, andprotective ward for almost 1 hrSlyfenRapier hits (AC 15, Atk roll 18 + 6 = 24) critical threatCritical hit!
