[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 4261444, member: 11520"] [b]Round 1[/b] Finn reacts first and shoots (1d20+9=22) the closest opponent in response to their sudden appearance. (1d6 1=4) He drops the pistol and spends his second action drawing his rapier. While the creature flinches from the shot and bleeds it there does not seem to have any special effect from the silver. In spite of the warning given by his companions actions, H'Roosh appears somewhat startled by the sudden appearance of the monstrous creatures and confused as to their origins. He recovers himself enough to deliver a flurry of blows at the morning star wielding bad guy, but his lack of surety in the face of the sudden attack hampers his aim. Mig moves to aid her master. Mingo draws her warsling and a skiprock and hits only the ceiling near the rider. Her attack give mount and rider an opening to attack her. ([url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1612226/]Attacks of Opportunity (1d20+22=32, 1d20+15=16)[/url] ) The Huge bastard sword [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1612232/]cuts (3d8+8+2d6=24)[/url] into her small body and she feels the unholy magic of the weapon. Gnurl immediately casts Force Missiles on the creature adjacent to him. Two sparkling bolts of blue magic, like giant magic missiles, streak from Gnurl's hand and unerringly strike the creature. When they hit the creature, the bolts burst into jagged shards of magical energy, and the shards pierce the Great Wolf and its rider. Throwing daggers at such close range opens Radoon to the foe's [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1612233/]bite (1d20+12=25)[/url], and the long [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1612236/]teeth (1d8+6=7)[/url] sink into his left arm. Radoon launches 2daggers at the creature nearest him, and then reaches behind his back to his new pack and quickly pulls two more and launches them quickly on the heels of the first two. The creature looks badly wounded and can barely stay on its feet after the barrage of daggers. Seeing the creatures before him and realizing he has a few moments before enganging in combat Geoffrey steps close to H'roosh and says a prayer and then reaches out to touch him. With the completion of the spell Geoffrey readies his mace and prepares to engage in melee. Anson takes his long sword in both hands and slices deep into the arm of a foe. The creatures begin to attack with [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1612343/]bites and claws (1d20+12=29, 1d20+7=18, 1d20+7=18, 1d20+12=19, 1d20+7=13, 1d20+7=24, 1d20+12=30, 1d20+7=18, 1d20+7=24, 1d20+12=17, 1d20+7=12, 1d20+7=22)[/url].
