Black Jack goes defensive, and now has a Defense of 25Fentrith calls upon his god, and another semi-transparent wave of energy rolls over him… he seems to grow in size and stature… JUST as something horrible and large comes through the door on the 2nd floor that Kitsch passed through only moments before. The thing must stand 8 feet tall if it were not hunched over, the head looks something like a cross between a person and a shark, with dead black eyes taking in the huge room with ease. There is a large dorsal fin in the middle of its back, and its hands and feet are webbed with huge talon claws on them all. It screams in a female voice “Etsa, Etsa, look at you, tasty, tasty, going take a bite from you! and it leaps down at Fentrith with a huge mouthful of shark-like teeth.  the thing is Charging +2 to Attack -2 to AC; Attack roll 8 +11 +2 =21 a hit. Damage roll 1 +8 =9 points of damage. Free grapple change (from Improved grab) grapple check 9 +11 =20, vs. Fentrith with his new and improved strength is 13 +7=20, tie goes to the defender, so Fentrith wins, barely!…and while it only gets a piece of his arm, it still causes a great deal of pain to the priest. Luckily (do in no small part to the bull strength provided by Harrimast) Fentrith arms is not trapped by the creatures gapping mouth. Of course the taste of his blood seems to drive the creature into a frenzy as froth and form spit from its mouth…the creature is now berserker +4 STR and CON, -2 Defense and it gains the Diehard feat! Last for at least 5 rounds[OCC - Kitsch has a shot, but Fentrith is somewhat in the way so he is providing the creature cover AND you are an additional -4 to your attack roll for firing into melee. Also it would not be a sneak attack this round. If you want to set it up you could flank it, get the surprise strike and Fentrith would not be providing the creature cover if you want to move this round… then you could attack with all that next round… your call]Torren moves around the fight on the stairs with easy due to his spider climb. He stabs at the creatures from the side…flanking attack for +2, Attack roll 13 +6 +2 =21 a hit. Damage roll is 1 +3 (surprise strike) for a total of 4 points…but this mostly just scratches it along it arm. The creature seems to ignore it as if it were nothing (it is focusing totally on its “meal” in front of it…Villard hears the commotion outside and gets to the swinging door, opening them as quickly and quietly as he can…Move Silent roll 11 +11 =22…he can see the creature fighting with Fentrith, it is about 35 or so feet away (Fentrith is providing the creature cover right now and you would get -4 for attacking into melee from your present location). The creature outside says to Zoraster “Little string, little bite, mighty tasty by my sight, oh so fresh, oh so clean… want to join me in my home tonight? Take you down, down I could, down to the bottom, cold and dark… romantic place, oh in the dark, going to have lots of fun tonight” as it tries to rake him with its claws… also as Zoraster gets a good look at the creature, he sees fully just how ugly she is and he can feel the strength leaching from his blood…Horrific Appearance, anyone seeing them must make a Fortitude save DC13, Zoraster rolls 7 +5 =12, misses by one, Zoraster loses 4 points of Strength, dropping him down to 8, -2 to damage. It rakes him with both of its clawed like hands, first roll 7 +7 =14, miss; second roll 8 +7 =15, another miss!…causing him to stagger back in loathing and fear. But despite this, the creature skill can not connect with either of its claws against the nibble little swashbuckler…Fentrith has taken 9 points of damage and now has 28 left.Black Jack is dazed and can not reactZoraster has lost 4 points of StrengthTorren is unharmedKitsch is unharmedVillard is unharmedThe creature outside has taken 8 points of damageThe creature inside has taken 4 points of damage but Fentrith notices that the wound heals over almost instantly and may or may not be affecting it any longer. Next rounds actions… also note that next round, Black Jack gets a Will save to try and overcome the effects of the daze</blockquote>
