Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Raylis]

Elysia takes a step back, apparently refocusing and berating herself for the bad throw.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Selim's attack is clumsy, but his defense is impeccable. Still, the chimera has become frustrated from its missed attacks, so it instead turns its side-snake-heads forward and spews forth streams of venomous spittle. Selim and Elysia both dive out of the way, to the side of the majority of the attack, and Selim shakes off the excess venom as if it were nothing. Elysia is not so lucky. She feels her fortitude weakened by the insidious venom.*

(OOC: Elysia loses 4 Con

Elysia and Selim's turn again)

 

[Raylis]

Elysia curses as she's hit with the venom, things arn't looking good. She draws a dagger and waits for Selim to make an attack before hurling a dagger with all her strength.

Power Attack, +4/-5

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Elysia's dagger is well-placed in a critical area, but it lacks the power to harm the chimera.*

(OOC: Waiting on Selim's choices for types of attack. I've actually sneakily already rolled for him, so we'll see how it turns out)

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim modifies his stance fluidly, trying to find the ideal method to use against his opponent. He drops his defensive a little more and reduces the brute force in his swings, trying to find how much effort he needs to place a blow where he wants it.

(ooc: not like I mind rolling beforehand, saves time defensive attack -3/+3; power attack -1/+1)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Ah, too bad! It was a confirmed critical hit by a mile, but you needed at least +3 Power Attack to score an injury because the chimera rolled high on Toughness )

*Selim's attack is perfectly placed, but the chimera is totally unharmed. The snake heads still recovering for another attack, the chimera makes an ordinary assault, but it can't get past Selim's defenses.*

(OOC: Selim and Elysia again)

 

[Raylis]

OOC: going to try another combined attack with selim, power attacking +4/-4

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim's frustration makes itself known through his wild swings. He shows no signs of giving up any time soon.

(ooc: defensive stance +4/-4; power attack +4/-4)

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Selim's wild swing actually connects, but the chimera barely, just barely, manages to thwart it before suffering a critical blow. Elysia's dagger, however, goes astray.*

(OOC: Ah, irony--Selim just barely critted the chimera, and with the same roll, the chimera made its save exactly against Selim's crit . By the way, I wonder why Elysia hasn't been upping her hit rate with all-out-attacks?)

*The chimera, still unable to use its poison attack again, tries an attack against Selim, but it fails to connect past Selim's wildly-swinging defensive blade.*

 

[Raylis]

OOC: I don't know Selim's damage capeability but thought it would be higher then Elysias, so I brought it up to actually use the combined attack option

Elysia cursd, everything with this beast had been going wrong: Laura's down, Selim's blows arn't hurting it, she can't hit the giant thing....there has to be something else she can do!

She draws another dagger in frustration, watches the movement of the main head she dashes forward, seemingly to throw past the chimera but instead launches her dagger right at the beast's head.

OOC: okay new strategy, all-out (+4/-4) accurate attack (+4/-4), using acrobatic bluff
