It misses with its jaw, held back by an elbow from Jokad. The thing does manage to grab Jokad on the chest with its claw, but its attempt to tear the breastplate from the barbarian is cut short when Jokad slices Whitefire down hard, shearing the arm right off from the body of the ghoul. It falls, dead, on the floor.(OOC: Its <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1783680/" target="_blank">unsuccessful rolls are here</a>)Jokad spins, pulling on a chair with his left arm and smashing that forward towards the lead ghoul as a ruse. It takes the bait, raising both arms to block the quickly falling wooden chair. Jokad immediately changes his attack and thrusts whitefire into the gut of the ghoul, pulling a gasp from it as the blade enters.He retaliates, flashing forward with venom and fury, tearing at Jokad's arm with its teeth, pulling a rough scarred matt of blood and flesh from the young man's arm. The ghoul laughs, as its right arm catches the barbarian on the side of the face, opening up a thin blood line from eye to jaw.OOC: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1783709/" target="_blank">He hits twice for a total of 5hp damage</a>. I need Jokad to make 2 DC13 fortitude saves, or suffer paralysis for 1d4+1 rounds for each failed save.Danth steps forward, invoking the power of his goddess, and sending a shuddering bolt of divine energy into the ghoul. You can feel the tussle of wills as he tries to shrug off the power of Sarenae. You cannot stop yourself gasping as the true power of the spell fails.OOC: He made his save, so only 7hp from this attack, and of course 9hp from Jokad, so at -16hp.Back in the barn, Jovik jumps from the little platform he was standing on, landing before the ghoul. The thing, still half looking like a farmer, were it not for the hideous scraped flesh of his face, and the oversized claws that hang from its exposed arms. Beside it a fire is starting to catch on a hay bale that has a smashed lantern thrown upon it.Before Jovik can recover from his leap, the ghoul is upon him.Jovik is too quick for it at first, ducking back from its jaw, and under the first sweeping claw attack, but he feels something catch him on the side of the head as he dodges. A warm wash of blood opens up on Jovik's face.OOC: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1783752/" target="_blank">Only 1hp damage, but I still need a DC13 fortitude save to avoid 1d4-1 rounds of paralysis.</a>Kael starts moving down the ladder, but seeing an opening about halfway down, sends forth his magical bolt.The little bolts of energy snake across the room, striking into the ghoul just as he appears ready to move forward on Jovik once more. He recoils, his face contorts in a mask of pain as the bolt drills into him. He lets out an animal roar.OOC: Jovik and Jokad - make your rolls please for the fortitude saves. Assuming you succeed Jovik I will then post your actions.Farmer woldrack, clearly untrained in warcraft, but with a heart of pure steel, takes his spade and once more brings it slamming down on the head of the ghoul. It makes a horrific noise, leavingOOC: He scored a natural 20 and full damage (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1783758/" target="_blank">link</a>), and then <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1783762/" target="_blank">confirmed the crit</a>, so 6hp damage.The lead ghoul staggers back with a thick gash across its head and face. One eye is a ragged mess, its cheek ripped apart. For the first time in the battle it actually seems to notice the farmer in the room.</blockquote>
