Under the hill fort ruins

Nate steps to one side and swipes at the oily shadow scuttling across the floor. He connects with it, his mace crunching down on its rear section. Sensing an opening, an opportunity, the wounded one lashes out at Nate. It manages to find its mark, its jaws cruching down on Nate's ankle.

Hadarook shouts wordless encouragement. Suddenely he realises that he has a dagger in hand. He hastily pitches it at the forth creature as it tries to circle around Nate. Not a great throw, but the dagger finds its mark - carving a gash across the creatures side.

Crunch:
Nate vs C3: 18 (13+5) vs 15 (13+2) = Dam +3+2+3-2 = 5 wounds
* C3 has lost 5 pips and is lightly wounded (no penalty to rolls)

C2 vs Nate: 18 (*20*+2-4) vs 13 (9+3) = Dam +6+6-1-5 = 6 wounds.
* Nate has lost 6 pips and is moderately wounded (-1 to rolls)
* DM note:
Nate fort save 23 (20+3) vs DC 10.
* C2 has lost 19 pips and is Hurting (-4 to rolls).

Hadarook vs C4: 13 (7+7-1) vs 10 (8+2) = dam +3+3-1-2 = 3 wounds.
* C4 has lost 3 pips and is lightly wounded.

Fredar watches as the creature bites onto Nate, and thinks: Damn. Thought that one was done for. He stabs it again with the spear and then looks for one of the other ones.

ooc: Assuming Fredar is still nearest to C2 (otherwise, whichever one he's nearest). If he crits and it's still alive, he try to daze. (also, your spoiler is visible. Edit - Fixed.)

Fredar steps in an slashes at the creature still attached to Nate's ankle. His blow parts it in two, and the head falls off Nate's leg. The rest of the body twiches spastically a bit then goes still.

The third creature, sensing an opportunity lashes out at Nate. Nate manages to fend off the creature with his mace. The fourth creature lashes out at Nate from its perch on the wall. But Nate ducks that attack as well.

With a rumbling roar, Cromwell steps up and slams his mace into the wall. Bits of rock splinters fly but the creature twists away missing a bunch of legs. It ain't pretty, but with the strength behind it, it does well enough.

Crunch:
Fredar vs C2: 25 (*20*+3+2) vs 15 (17+2-4) = dam +10+3+2-2 = 13 wounds.
* Crit threatened (daze): *1* - not confirmed.
* C2 has lost 32 pips and is dead (no more rolls).

C3 vs Nate: 9 (7+2) vs 14 (11+3) = miss.

C4 vs Nate: 5 (3+2) vs 15 (12+3) = miss.

Cromwell vs C4: 14 (7+7) vs 14 (12+2) = dam +0+6+3-2 = 7 wounds.
* C4 has lost 10 pips and is moderately wounded (-1 to rolls)

Nate twists and turns, fending off attacks from all directions. Hey, what did I do? Go pick on someone else. He tries to step aside so that he isn't in the center of attention anymore, then attacks the nearest creature with his mace.

Nate can step away from one of the creatures, but not so far as to prevent it from closing again. However, he can open up the fight a bit, giving the others a bit more room to engage. So he does, before attempting to brain one of the creatures.

Hadarook fumbles around and pulls another dagger. But with his companions milling around everywhere, he doesn't want to risk a shot. Dancing back and forth in frustration, he waits for a shot to present itself.

Fredar switches his attention to one of the creatures harrasing Nate*. Its seems slowed by Nate's blow and is unable to avoid Fredar's stabbing spear. It hisses and spits and slinks backwards into the shadows of the gash in the cave wall.

The other creature however, continues to lash out, this time at Cromwell.

OOC: * Maerdwyn - unless you want to do something different.

CRUNCH:Nate vs C3: 10 (8+3-1) vs 7 (5+2) Dam +3+3+3-2 = 7 wounds.
* C3 has lost 12 pips and is severly wounded (-2 to rolls).

Fredar vs C3: 17 (14+3) vs 15 (15+2-2) = Dam +2+6+2-2 = 8 wounds.
* C3 has lost 20 pips and is hurting (-4 to rolls)

C3 withdraws (move action only).

C4 vs Cromwell: 4 (3+2-1) vs 8 (4+4) - miss.

Cromwell vs C4: 14 (7+7) vs 11 (10+2-1) = Dam +3+2+2-2 = 5 wounds.
* C4 has lost 15 wounds and is severly wounded (-2 to rolls)

"let's get it, fredar" Nate yells as he prepares another heavy overhand blow at the creature, after taking a 5' step or a move action to close the distance.
 

"Right with you!" Fredar answers at once, as he lunges at the creature for what he hopes is a killing blow. Afterwards, he looks around to see if any other of the buggers have shown up.

Nate steps in and smashes his mace down on the creature. Gore spatters his mace and legs again. In an odd corner of his mind, he notices that it smells faintly. The creature twists and a writhes for a bit before going still.

Panting, Fredar drives his spear through the 'head' area of the still creature. It doesn't move. Fredar glances around. There doesn't appear to be any more of the creatures in the room, and the gash in the wall is quiet and still. Well, as still as it can be with the flickering shadows cast by the torch.

"I can't see any more," Cromwell grunts. He swings around, scanning the room. "But there are only three bodies. Where is the forth one? I lost track of it."

Crunch
Nate vs C3: 14 (13+3-2) vs 12 (12+2-2) = Dam +2+5+3-2 = 8 wounds
* C3 has lost 21 wounds and is dying (-5 to rolls, unconscious)

Fredar kills C3.
 

Nate carefully scans the room. If he sees nothing, he sits down and takes off his boot, checking to see if his ankle is just bruised or if the creature has pierced his skin. He clumsily tries to wash out the wound, using his hankerchief as a makeshift bandage, unless someone more proficient tries to stop him.
Whoa, there goes my hankerchief. Better put the green bogers on the outside, I guess.

[what on earth were we fighting? Any pictures available, or a bigger description?]
