Init Order: Xanesha (22), Jovik (21), Jokad (19), Danth (13)
OOC: Frostrune - the adventure lists what she does in round 1 and 2, so easy enough just to follow that.
The demon thing before you laughs. Her laugh is cold, without a hit of humour in it.
"
Little boys running around trying to be heroes? Very charming!"
The eyes behind her mask are not visible, but she seems to settle on Jokad for a second.
"
I could have made a cute little thing like you a muse ... a blunt instrument perhaps, but a pretty one."
She hisses, at once seeming snake-like, and appears to activate something from a medallion around her neck, and with a strange, hissing tongue, casts some spell. Neither of the effects are visible to you.
The large eye gems of the mask start to glow green, as she continues to hiss.
"
Eeny meeny miny mo...."

Jovik heads in quickly along with Jokad, determined to end this fight quickly. One for breif moment he wondered why this terrifying creature did not frighten him. Maybe he had been hanging around Jokad too much. Rather the parade of horrific things of late had accustomed him to expect the bizarre now. Jovik struck at the creature, Goblin Hook shimmering with ice in the dim light.
He hits her, and almost thinks his true strike is going to skim off her hardenened scales, but at the last moment it finds some purchase and scratches a thin line of blood in her side. She swipes in anger at him.
OOC: -6hp to Xanesha.
Jokad surges forward, deciding to strike with the fury of his gods, his ancestors, and his trusty old battle axe. And by god does he hit her.
OOC: He has to move action to reach, so only the first attack counts. Also, the second attack wouldn't have hit anyway, so no difference in actual result.
The snake lady tries to dark quickly from his falling blade, and she is quick. Quicker than anything Jokad has seen before. But he is a hardened warrior, and although she is about to slip off his attack he turns it and connects with savage force.
She screams. He has hurt her!
OOC: -61hp from this attack, for a total now of -67hp to Xanesha
Danth, hoping to turn the fight by using his divine powers, tries to force her to drop her weapon with a command. She simply ignores him.
OOC:
a ridiculously easy save - you need to do better than a DC14 to beat this major piece of evil mama!
OOC: End of round 1. Round 2 actions and inits please - and Xanesha will be getting serious this round. Note - due to move into position last round, flanking is allowed this round.
