Made rolls and edited post - Missed by one. Sea devil takes 2 damage, though.

[helium3]

The Sea Devil, beset by blow after blow, finally appears to begin showing some concern for his strategic position. He gurgles an order to the beleaguered hafling "We must find an opening and escape with our prize."

[sblock=Jorje]Your turn, master of phantasms.[/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

Jorje's summoning magic fails him again...

[The Digger]

Charlie tries to see the sea devil, at least enough to fire off a shuriken at the brute. At last she gets enough of a glimpse to throw a star at him. Unfortunately her aim is off and the shuriken thuds into the ceiling.

[sblock=OOC]I'm getting to the stage of believing that IC has been deliberately skewed. I've rarely seen such a run of poor dice rolls.[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

Though the hafling slinger's face is ashen with blood loss and fear, he musters the strength to try and pierce the paladin's side yet again. He fails.

The sea devil grunts as the cloud of translucent daggers stabs him in several places, drawing blood from small nicks and scrapes. He turns to the fighter, tightly drawn rage seething just under his scaled skin. "You want me to attack you? Very well pitiful human. I shall."

With a screeching cry of "May Typhon guide my hand!!" he lifts his trident high and his eyes roll back in his head in a rictus of religious ecstasy. He brings the weapon down not once but twice!! Both attacks strike true and with massive force. Looking upon the gaping wounds he inflicted on the fighter, the sea devil and the slinger seem bolstered by this obvious display of their patron's power.

[sblock=Horto]So I thought to myself before I made the rolls, "Wouldn't it be crazy if I critted with both attacks?" And then I did. Here's a link to the rolls. 23 points of damage total from two attacks, good sir.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]The sea devil used his action point to get an extra standard attack. His special template allows him to crit with 19's and 20's. Also by virtue of his special template, whenever he crits he and his allies get 3 hit points back.[/sblock]

[sblock=Ranver]Your turn.[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

[sblock=OOC]Does Ranver have any healing words left? If not, I think she should attack the Sea Devil with Lance of Faith. Not sure who to grant the +2 attack bonus to though.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

[sblock=ooc] Pick me! Pick me! Varilar could really use the bonus, and he gets sneak attack damage. [/sblock]

 

[helium3]

Ranver let's forth another brilliant lance of faith but misses the mark by a fair bit.

[sblock=Varilar]Your turn.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Varilar once again lashes out with his dagger, hoping to slice into the Sea Devil's scaled hide.

[sblock=ooc] Riposte Strike vs. Sea Devil, hits AC 21 for 15 damage[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

The Sea Devil is barely able to evade Varilar's strike.

[sblock=Zarathas]Your turn.[/sblock]
