(OOC: You got one and missed)

*Alix will, unsurprisingly, fire an Eldritch Blast at the creature. He will be absolutely sure to stay somewhere that is behind allies, since that thing could grapple him effortlessly just like it seems to have tried on Jerrell.*
 

Seing there is two range attacker behind him, Jerell stands ground. "Take him down... I'll make sure he doesn't reach you." Jerell ready another action, getting ready to attack the creature if it come close again.
 

Working a bolt into place as quickly as his shaking hands will let him, Nathan takes aim at the creature and fires once more.

"What in the name of the Great Coin is that!"
 

[Round 11]

Tereg drops his knives and draws his crossbow loading it. He fires on the creature from his position on the stairs which strikes true, drawing more ichor.

Nathan's shot this round misses unfortunately.

The creature moves forward to attack Jerrel again, but the sailor is ready for that trick again and scores a well aimed hit (almost crit). Undeterred the creature attempts to use both it's padipulps against him. The luck of the gods is on his side as both miss and the creature's powerful mandibles pass inches from his face.

Alix's eldritch blast hits the creature as well, injuring it.

The smoke is becoming thicker and causes Tereg to start coughing heavily. It is still quite possible to see the creature through partial concealment.

[sblock=ooc]my poor creature!? its still up but you've hit almost every time through 20% concealment and it's missed every time. even with a +7 attack bonus.

Damage recap:
Alix
Jerrell 7/13
Tereg
Nathan 7/10
Julian -4/7 - unconscious and stable on the deck
Creature 20 dmg[/sblock]
 

(OOC: +7? Whew--what luck! And it has pounce too, to attack twice after moving? This is a nasty nasty thing. Since Vark was pretty easy, I'm guessing this critter is the thing that makes people say 'The first fight in STAP is incredibly lethal'

Anyway, Alix, as a Warlock, has little to do bu Eldritch Blast, though if the enemy is remaining in melee, it shall be harder to hit it)
 

Nathan's eyes were watering from the smoke that was filling the small hold, but he knew that if he advanced further away from the creature that those behind him would be placed in even tighter quarters than they found themselves in now.

~Must focus..small breaths and fire true...~

Reaching down for another bolt, Nathan was thankful that the longshoreman's strength was sufficient for the moment to keep the creature at bay.
 

In hope to end this combat as quick as possible, Jerrell will attack with both his shield and weapon as the creature didn't have left his proximity that time.
 

[Round 12]

Tereg fires again but misses while coughing from smoke inhilation.

Nathan begins caughing now but manages to hit through the smoke. His bolt lodges into the creature's side.

Jerrel attacks with both shield and sword, unhindered by the smoke. Both weapons hit and the thing crashes to the ground beneath his blows as Alix begins caughing behind him.

[sblock=ooc]Smoke causes those caughing a -2 on checks.

Damage recap:
Alix
Jerrell 7/13
Tereg
Nathan 7/10
Julian -4/7 - unconscious and stable on the deck
Creature 38 dmg - dead[/sblock]
 

"We must make haste in putting out this fire now."

*Alix will help form a bucket brigade or whatever else is necessary to quench the flames. Afterwards, he will carefully search the fallen enemies and then the ship proper for useful clues. Additionally, he will check to make sure Vark is dead, subtly opening the wounds so that Vark bleeds to death if the man is not. Even though Vark admitted to being a pirate, it would be...messy if Vark tried to use his allies among the nobles to finger them for assault...But as an admitted pirate, might Vark have ties to House Kellani? Clearly Rowyn is in this deeper than she let on...*
