In the Middle of...Somewhere

Combat Info[sblock]Its a tight corridor, but there's enough room to still move in/out for the Spring Attack. So...Jan's attack is an 18. That hits and the creature takes 6 damage.

Victor and Yarra are up next, then the Large Creature again.[/sblock]

Despite the rubble, general narrowness of the entranceway, and the fact that Victor is standing in the doorway right in front of the hulking, dead-looking creature, Jan is able to squeeze his way in and drive his sword into the thing's lower torso. His sword again sinks deep without much difficulty, but upon its removal, doesn't seem to do much damage as there is no sign of bleeding.
 

Victor 60/66 hp, 10 DR remaining for the day.

[sblock=ooc]Sorry confusion on my part, did my post in 196 get forgotten, or was that for last round? If it was forgotten consider this action moot.[/sblock]

Victor snorts at the pinprick Jan's sword makes. Almost in disgust he says, "anybody have anything bigger to fight this thing?" Looking down at the miniscule creatures that have joined the battle he says to them, "whatever magic you did to hurt me...do to that thing!" To accentuate his point he thrusts his spear towards the creature's leg.
 


Combat Info[sblock]Sorry, that's confusion on MY part, not yours. :) Those actions for Vic would be for THIS round, soooo...

Attack is a 23. That hits and the creature takes another 7 damage and then 1 acid damage.

Yarra's next and his shot is a 20. Another hit, and that's 7 more damage.

The big guy's up next. He attacks Victor. Attack is a 32. Definitely hits and Victor takes 15 damage. Vic's down to 45HP at the moment. The creature takes 6 more damage from the breath the round before and anoter 4 from striking Victor from the Energy Shield.

Valmun's up.[/sblock]

The fact that the creature is so large and directly in front of Victor, while at the same time showing very slow reflexes, makes it very easy for Victor to land a strike with his spear exactly where he wanted it to go.

As his spear punctures the hulking creature's leg, causing it to groan slightly and nearly fall over from the sudden shift in its weight, a crossbow bolt flies over Victor's shoulder and catches the thing in its upper torso...and instead of going straight through, like most of the strikes, it seems to find a hard spot and just sits there, sticking out without being noticed at all.

The creature shifts again, finding a better way to stand in the doorway, and obviously looking like it wants to get in despite the confined space. It seems to come to a conclusion, and as the acid that Victor's breath had left on its body before continues to burn away at the loose skin, the large creature swings a powerful arm down at Victor to get him out of its way. Considering the relative thinness of its skin, the creature's swing packs a surprisingly powerful punch as it hits Victor hard across his right shoulder, though part of its hand becomes splashed with acid from making contact.
 


Combat Info:[sblock]Okay, Valmun's been MIA for a few days here so, to keep things going, I'll go ahead and NPC his actions so the group doesn't lose too much firepower. Also to keep things moving, will skip over Slim to the Small Creatures' actions and the end of the round...if we get actions for Slim before too long after, I'll just slip them into play as they come.

So...Valmun will cast Magic Missile at the Large Creature. It automatically hits, and the creature takes 10 damage.

Small creature's are up next. They both run straight for the entrance and try to escape. Large Creatures get an AoO against one of them...attack is a 36. Potential crit...and it is. The translucent looking Small Creature takes 22 damage. Dead. But for hitting him, the Large Creature takes 4 acid damage from Victor's aura. The other gets away, though.

Next round...Jan, Vic, then Yarra are up before the big guy.[/sblock]

Staying back and out of the way, Valmun calls upon a spell and points a finger towards the big creature. Three bright blue bolts of energy fire outwards and over the groups' heads, slamming into their target one after another with surprising force.

In the opening this attack provides, both of the small creatures make a run for it, ignoring Victor's previous comment for them to actually help. While the airy looking one, which doesn't actually seem to be touching the ground, manages to slip under the creature's legs and continues on without any trouble, the other one draws the thing's attention. A quick drop of a powerful arm and the translucent looking creature shatters like ice, making a noise that of surprise that was cut off by the force of the blow.
 


With a smooth practised action, Yarra raises the crossbow once again, aiming for somewhere he might harm the creature, and looses the bolt and reloads once again.
 

With a look of pure disgust on his face at the apparent destruction reigned upon the small creature, Slim will edge toward the side wall and seemingly disappear.

From through the rough stone wall Slim's voice rings out, "Keep distracting it, I'll see if I can't go around back."

[sblock=OOC]With that, Slim will Sideslip (pg 58 Complete Scoundrel) and move as much as he can to flank the giant beast. He will attack next round, with flank +10 to Attack 1d6+2 2d6 Sneak Attack if applicable.[/sblock]
