Nocking the arrow and drawing his bow's string back to his cheek in one fluid motion, Maelicent quickly aims, exhales and looses the missile at the large growling reptile. Sucking in a quick breath, the goblin is already drawing and nocking a second arrow as the thrumming bowstring slaps against his right forearm's bracer. With the arrow's fletching tickling his cheek, the goblin once more exhales, aims and looses a second arrow towards the slavering monster's green hide.  To the Gudwulf's satisfaction, the first arrow joins its brother in the crocodile's hide, striking true for 2 points of damage.  The second arrow, however, misses and skitters to a harmless stop, intact, quite some ways from the crocodile.With the left arm of the double set of stone doors hanging open and the right side of the former door crushed to rubble on the flagstone floor, Brakkus takes advantage of the newfound room and pointedly lunges at the green-skinned crocodile with his guisarme.  The polearm's sharp blade lances through the creature's tough outer hide, exposing thick knots of red fleshed-muscle beneath and dealing 8 points of damage.Standing his ground toward the end of the hall approaching the remaining lone stone door, Gamad casts a magical cantrip and points at the crocodile.  A quick burst of light flashes in front of the crocodile, causing the creature to piggishly blink for a moment.  All together too soon, however, the crocodile blinks a last time and resumes its attention on smashing its way to freedom.Backing up five feet, the giant crocodile displays the full brunt of its mass.  Despite the stout youth evident in the crocodile's pearly teeth, the creature bears obvious signs of ill treatment; one side of the beast's head, near its left eye, is battered and bruised.  Pus leaks from a laceration along its dragon-scaled spine, and it appears to be missing perhaps as much as a third of the end of its tail.  Holes on the creature's left fetlock gape where claws should be.  The crocodile, unnaturally large particularly for its young age, again opens its toothed maw and silently roars.  Though the creature backed up moments ago, it again goes on the attack.  With the hugeness of the crocodile's snout, both Brakkus and Chev realize that the beast has the advantage of reach; it appears that the crocodile long maw serves almost as nearly as does Brakkus's polearm.  Foregoing an attack on Chev, the massive crocodile sets to work bashing its snouth against the remaining stone door.  Brakkus, left to stand slightly behind the door, finds himself an inadvertant target as the crocodile repeatedly bashes its head against the door.  The door, however, proves the better of the pair and stoutly withstands the creature's onslaught."Jormungandr's spawn!" Voadam gestures, causing a white dart of ice to spring from his hand and course toward the large beast.  The ice dart misses wide, shattering loudly into several shards against the door's lintel and landing atop Chev's head.With the strength of Narn in his arms, Chev brings his battleaxe down with a powerful stroke.  The axe arcs downward and slams with a crunch into the crocodile's bruised eye, dealing 4 points of damage.Initiative:Maelicent 19Brakkus 19Gamad 15Beast 14Voadam 13Chev 13</blockquote>
