[IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

[Blackrat]

Zarathas swings at the halfling and as the blade connects a flicker of holy light flashes in the dragonborn's scales, stopping the bleeding from his wounds.

[sblock=OOC]Bolstering Strike: 1d20+6=20, 1d8+4=6, & Z' gains 2 temp HP.[/sblock]

 

[helium3]

With a brilliant slash, the Paladin bites into the hafling slinger's side and cuts the fanatic down.

Knocked unconscious. Z' tries to get all his foes alive so they can be taken to justice and given a fair trial...[/sblock]

Horto blanches at the onslaught from the Sea Devil, but seeing Zarathas fell the halfling renews his confidence. "I don't know what's more impressive, your Sliminess; your fighting, or your smell." Characteristically pleased with his own banter, Horto launches a vicious counter-attack, hoping the party can fell the enemy before he gets to attack again.

[helium3]

The valiant fighter's attack tears open a long gash in the Sea Devil's side and dark maroon blood begins to flow out and puddle on the floor.

Varilar stays were he is, continuing to look for an opening in the Sea Devil's defenses.

[helium3]

Jorje succesfully manages to summon an illusory cloud of phantasms that swirl and gibber around the now distracted Sea Devil.

[sblock=Charlotte]Your turn.[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC]Just to be clear, Horto's attack bloodied the Sea Devil.[/sblock]

 

[The Digger]

"Why can't you big guys finish off Scaley?" Charlie's frustration is evident as yet another shuriken flies wide of the Sea Devil and embeds itself in the wall. "I'm getting nowhere here."

 

[nerdytenor]

"You just keep throwing them," Horto replies. "One is bound to hit sooner or later."

"Whom it hits is another question," he adds, grinning.

Horto's facial expression takes on a tinge of seriousness as he steels himself for the Sea Devil's next assault.
