Dispite the creatures speed(and twist of fate) allowing it to avoid his blow Jackson continues to attack, knowing that this beast WILL fall to his sword!

Timur Rogue1


(on his turn) Timur nocks and other arrow and fires at the nearest groylkyn., remaining in the shadows.

OOC_Sorry about that Vargo, but sometimes intelligent foes will "jerk back" occasionally.

I'll wait a bit longer for Nameless to post an action, but if need be I'll just choose a logical action for him to speed the combat along. I hope that you guys are all fine with that. I just do it occasionally so that a combat doesn't take a week to resolve.

OOC_Sorry about that Vargo, but sometimes intelligent foes will "jerk back" occasionally.

OOC: No probs, them's the breaks.

(OOC: Sorry, I got sent out of town on short notice.)

Scathach sees Argento's distress, and quickly leaps to his aid, hoping to confuse the monster by attacking it from both sides.

[Charge into flanking position on Argento's groylkyn and attack]

 

[scadgrad]

OOC: No worries there Nameless...

Scathach moves to flank Groylkyn #5, takes a measured swing with the ancient thinblade, but the creature narrowly dodges the deadly blow (rolled a 6).

The bad guys turn...


Groylkyn # 5 steps forward to engage the now chainless Argento, attacking w/ its crude flint short swords, it swings twice and connects for 5 pts of damage. An angry streak of crimson appears on Argento's left shoulder.

Groylkyn #6 moves to attack Scathach and strikes home w/ a vicious blow to the chest (7 pts of damage).

The enraged creature in the doorway, perhaps angred by the strikes to the throat swings wildly at Quazeem. The agile Dolem man uses the cover of the ruined door and easily avoids the flurry of slahes.

Top of round 3...

[johnsemlak]

Timur fires at the nearest Groyklyn.

OOC: Can this be a sneak attack?

Timur fires at the nearest Groyklyn.

OOC: Can this be a sneak attack?

Yep, it's a sneak attack because it doesn't know you're behind him (denying him his Dex IIRC). You draw back and strike the Groylkyn squarely between the shoulder blades w/ a well-aimed arrow. It staggers yet remains in the battle (9pts of damage).
