Round 1
Battle Map - Round 1
A curbed cry of pain comes from the frog's mouth, as its sharp teeth sink into Kordunn's flesh, and soon after the dwarf finds himself gulped down into the stomach of the creature. The stench is hard to bear, but at least the teeth are now far out of reach.
Elmus (Oog) reacts immediately and aims a bolt of eldritch force at the oversized frog, while moving away a few steps to get out of reach of its tongue. The bolt hits and burns a large hole into its ugly skin.
At the sudden sign of danger from the waters of the Barren River, Selvaggio reaches into his pouch to pull out his mistletoe and holly and starts chanting some sort of incantation that is hard to hear over the shouts of his companions. Intrepido growls towards the threat and stands ready to defend Selvaggio.
While Rover backs away from the unnatural creature, Eldwyn pulls his sling and loads a stone to attack the frog. The well-aimed rock hits home and further wounds the monster.
Kordunn, having not much choice, smashes his spiked gauntlet into the inside of the frog's stomach, trying to rip it to open to find a way out. Despite some difficulties because of the tight spot he is in, Kordunn manages to hit and buries the spikes of his gauntlet into the frog's inside, but it's still a lot of work before he can hope to get out of there.
Slow to react due to the high grass, Aylor sluggishly moves towards the giant toad. Gripping her hands together, she attempts to hammer down on the giant creature. She easily hits the huge target and slams her fists like a hammer into its slippery side. As she makes contact with the frog's skin, Aylor feels a burning sensation on her hands, and a sudden faintness creeps through her.
Kylest steps forward, planning to reach out to grab the pendant from the creature's neck. Since he probably cannot reach the pendant without opening up his defenses too much, Kylest only takes a closer look and then swings his greatsword down at the creature. He does not regret his choice, as the blade formerly-owned-by-Norris easily cuts through one of the frog's cheeks and leaves a wide gash with oozy fluid dripping from the wound.
The dwarf also tries to keep one ear peeled for the boatsman's cries, but cannot understand him. Kylest believes they suspiciously sound like warning shouts, though. Some more people gather at the pier now, attracted by the boatsman's shouting, and watch the spectacle from a safe distance.
