Brinestump Marsh: Walthus' House Combat - Round 1 Wrapup
Note: Some actions modified because of the internal layout of the warden's house.
The creature lashes out with one of its two arms and hits Wireth with a slam attack for 6 points of damage and drains some blood (-1 CON). Then it takes a step back into the house. Even without the flanking bonus Wireth and Jakira still hit. Also, Wireth your power attack did 11 damage since you are using the weapon as a two-handed weapon (power attack does 50% more damage with two-handed weapon, so it is -1 to hit for +3 damage).
"Fastus, help Elsbeth!" shouts Sachiko, she leaps into the fray, pursuing the creature as it backs into the house and stabbing at it with her sword! "Hyah!"She strikes the creature in what would pass for the abdomen.
Jariah had little hope of reaching the creature for an unobstructed view. She flung another globule of acid on the off chance she could thread the needle. It made it past her companions and through the doorway and disappeared inside.
“Since Sachi is blocking the door, someone go around to find another way in!”
The fiery human was looking for a window. Wireth thinks, and gives a quick whistle and jab of his thumb. Nairo gives a small hiss, then flies in an arc toward the warm human. The bird disppears around the corner, but Fastus sees the bird streak past him into the house.
Recovering from his surprise the young blacksmith was already on the case! His efforts growing frantic, he dropped his head down and literally tumbled himself into the house -- and then right down the rustic stairs in a series of barely-controlled bumps and light crashes!
The scene spread out before his eyes: "What the burning heck-?!"
Whatever was going on, the tongue-thing with Sachi's blade in it and dodging acid blasts was clearly the bad guy! Fastus didn't stop: he stepped up to the villain, SHOVING it once he got close enough and SHOUTING all the while!
"AAAHHHHHH!" Fastus was able to push the creature back out of the doorway, but the creature lashes out with its arm hitting for 7 damage and drains some blood (-1 CON). Because of the CON damage Fastus is at 2 HP. Note: Fastus was out of move points so was not able to move with the creature (movement started at B-14 and went B-13, C-13, C-12, B-11).
Wireth smiled as Faustus crashed his way into the faceless … whatever it was.
"Good man!" he calls, weaving his way through Sachi and Faustus, to swing around to the side of the creature inside the house. "Now, just … stand … still!"
With that, Wireth's blade opens a nasty gash in the creature's side. As he moves the creature lashes out again with its arm but misses the half-orc.
With Fastus barging through and pushing the lickety toad creature out of the doorway, Jakira slipped past Sachi and into the dwelling. The feline eidolon wasted no time, seeing the creature backed into the corner, he bit the ugly thing.
"Uggh, it tastes crappy." Jakira takes a chuck out of the thing's left leg.
The veins in Suldrel's forehead bulge as he realizes the danger his sister is in. However, due to Fastus courageous (and to the elf's mind, foolhardy) rushing of the creature his he manages to hold his anger in check for at least a moment longer as he shoots in through the doorway, lowering his spearhead towards the outside as he draws it in, grabs the haft with both hands and then jabs it at the creature with one smooth motion. Unfortunately, the spearhead tips the doorframe and it the motion sends his aim awry. As the arctic elf moved past the creature it lashed out with its arm striking for 7 damage and drains some blood (-1 CON). This leaves Suldrel at 10 HP.
