For a moment the pair's wild flailing prevents the goblin from safely loosing his arrow. Finally, as the human tears free and stumbles back to cast a spell, Maelicent lets loose the arrow through the newly opened gap between Chev and the crocodile, hitting the crocodile for 5 points of damage.  Smoothly nocking a second arrow to his bow string, the goblin once more takes aim just as the polearm wielding giant-kin decides to fall back right into his line of fire. Pausing for a split second, Maelicent waits for Brakkus to lunge forward once more before loosing his next missile.  Unlike the two before it, this arrow hits true, sinking into the croc all the way to the projectile's black fletching, and dealing 2 points of damage as the tip comes out the bottom side of the beast's upper left leg.After two successful strikes and the bevy of other wounds the beast has sustained, Brakkus can see it is not striking the beast that is difficult, but striking through its tough skin and into its vitals. Brakkus steps into position again and swings his guisarme down with all his might, this time missing as the crocodile curls its body reflexively after being hit twice with Maelicent's arrows."That will do the trick," the albino dwarf thinks quickly while moving backward five feet to relative safety.  Simultaneously pulling out a scroll from his case and reading aloud while extracting a fresh bolt, Gamad intones, "Cat's yawn and dog's bark, let that bolt to hit his mark!"  Touching the bolt, Gamad finds that the projectile flashes white in a burst of light then goes dim, its metal casings flashing dull once again in the shadowy light given off in the antechamber by Voadam's coin.Determined to chew its way free, the crocodile bites Chev a second time, ripping out an enormous quivering section of the battle priest's innards good for 16 points of damage.  The smell of offal fills the narrow hall as the crocodile swallows its fresh meal of blood and guts, and, bleeding profusely, Chev falls unconscious to the flagstone floor, his axe landing with a tink beside him.  Chev is at -6 HP.  Resolute despite the woe to befall Chev, Voadam steps forward, drawing his wand as he moves. At Voadam's approach, the crocodile hisses bloody innards and reaches over the fallen Chev to bite at the newcomer.  Voadam dodges the crocodile's lunge and, splattered by Chev's half-chewed intestines, with but a word invokes the magic endowed by the Johan church crafters, and a divine glow emanates from the wand, which the Green Wizard transfers to the wounded Chev.  The worst of Chev's wounds close, but a large area of ghastly white skin thinly covering the bite is all that holds death from the priest.  Chev is healed for 7 HP of damage and wakes on the floor, his axe within arm's reach, at 1 HP.Initiative:Maelicent 19Brakkus 19Gamad 15Beast 14Voadam 13Chev 13</blockquote>
