COMBAT ROUND 7
Keoni attempts to calm his mounting frustrations as he sees Anar visciously attacked by Vark. He draws a ragged breath and attempt to refocus his mind to bring about the endurance needed to remain in this fight. He follows the rogue's lead and this time moves not to strike Vark, but to distract him just so. The tip of his spear plays about Vark's feet, eliciting yet more cursing from the ugly thug's mouth.
Keoni - Aid Another to help Chongo's attack. (1d20+1=15) SUCCESS!
(Keoni changes aura to Vigor)
------------------------------------
"No, that won't do. Perhaps some of the fey mind clouding then." Kalen takes a step back and attempts to daze the ragodessa's mind to temporarily distract it. Unfortunately, even as the arcane words are formed on his mouth, it is clear that the creature is completely oblivious to the spell.
Kalen, frustrated by the ineffectiveness of his spells, ponders as to whether he knows anything of this bizarre creature, but he can't recall ever having heard of anything like this.
(Rhagodessa is immune to Daze spell)
Knowledge Arcana Check (1d20+8=19)
--------------------------------------
Col's chanting coming faster and more strident, the old man screams something in Celestial and a blue-white aura of smoke appears in the hold. Out of it steps a fine specimen of a mongrel dog, its coat a silvery blue like the smoke. It immediately growls and presses and attack on the foul beast! The dog's jaws snap at the monster, but the thing is too quick, darting out of the way.
Celestial Dog bites Rhagodessa. (1d20+2=10) MISS.
Meanwhile, above deck, the old man tries to get a look at the escaped creature as he tentatively takes to the stair. "By 'cor, what is that thing!?!" As he studies the creature, Col realizes that, while he has never seen anything quite like this creature before, it does yet seem familiar. Its movements and behaviors remind the old man of a spider or scorpion. He is quite sure that it must be related, at least distantly to those vermin.
Knowledge - Nature Check. (1d20+9=17)
----------------------------------------
Anar clutches at his belly wound and staggers away from Vark, thought keeping his rapier in a guard position. "You black-hearted devil! You'll pay for your evil deeds..."
"Hah hah hah!" laughs Vark, mockingly.
Even as he backs away, Anar somehow feels the bleeding ebb in his belly wound. While still hurting, he feels that he is no longer in danger of keeling over from his injury.
(Anar gains 1 hp from Keoni's aura. Now at 1/8 hp.)
-----------------------------------------
Shaking off the grasp of the attacker and regripping his spear, Damash saw a flash of light out of the corner of his eye, but dared not dwell on whatever effect it was meant to have.
"Get the others...I will hold this one as long as I can..."
Thrusting out with his spear once again, Damash prays the others will heed his advice and gather more help.
This time, Ishtishia's favor lies upon the spear, and the tip pierces the creature's abdomen! Wounded, the beast makes a loud chirring sound as its legs weave back and forth.
Damash attacks Rhagodessa with shortspear. (1d20+2=18) HIT!
Damash shortspear damage. (1d6+2=6)
-------------------------------------------
Bothered by his aim being so far off -and seemingly declaring the spear as guilty- Nicolai nails the spearhead to the wooden floor and emits two or three short whistles, launching another icy bolt towards the creature, now with his bare hands.
To his dismay, Nicolai's aim is again off the mark, coming nowhere near the intended target!
Nicolai ranged touch attack (Ice Ray) vs. Rhagodessa (-4 for firing into melee) (1d20+2-4=0) MISS!
--------------------------------------------
Soller Vark whips around with his rapier, realizing that the most dangerous enemy is Chongo! He lunges at the dark-skinned barbarian, stabbing into his upper arm painfully! "Have at yeh, then, savage! How d'ya like that now?" Vark laughs as he sees Chongo's wound begin to bleed.
Vark attacks Chongo with rapier. (1d20+5=21) HIT!
Vark's rapier damage. (1d6+1=5) Chongo's hp now at 9/14(11/16 raging)
--------------------------------------------
Below deck, the rhagodessa again lashes out with its front two legs at the prey that injured it, Damash! This time, only one of the horrible appendages strikes the priest, but it still is enough! The hooked suckers dig into Damash's shoulder once more, and the thing again tries to draw him in range of its mandibles! This time, Damash cannot stop himself from being drawn into the beast's embrace. With a sickening CRUNCH the thing's massive jaws snap onto Damash's head, and he slumps limply. His face and torso a bloody mess, the unconscious Damash yet draws breath...but not for long.
Rhagodessa attacks Damash with two pedipalps. (1d20+7=27, 1d20+7=13) 1 HIT, 1 MISS. Grapple check initiated.
Rhagodessa opposed grapple check vs. Damash. (1d20+11=28)
Damash opposed grapple check vs. Rhagodessa. (1d20+2=12) Rhagodessa wins!
Rhagodessa gets free bite attack vs. Damash. (1d20+9=15) HIT!
Rhagodessa bite damage. (1d8+6=11) Damash drops to -6/10 hp, he's dying!
---------------------------------------
The smell of flames and the screams of the animals belowdecks surround the jungle tribesman. His eyes darken as he sees yet another comrade fall to the ground.
"Go! Help Col down below!"
He grips his spear tightly as he attempts to bury the spear into Vark's chest. As he does so, he spits words at Vark. "You are a dog! Chongo will kill you! Chongo will eat your heart!"
This time, Chongo is the quicker combatant, and with Keoni's help, he catches Vark right in the chest with a savage spear thrust! Vark's ribs split wide as the spear tears through flesh and bone. With a low gurgle, the thug leader slides off the end of the spear, and falls wetly to the ground. The female member of Vark's crew, standing nearby, begins to sob as she witnesses the violence.
Chongo (raging) attacks Vark with spear (+2 Flanking, +2 Aid Another) (1d20+6+2+2=21) HIT!
Chongo spear damage (raging). (1d8+7=13) Vark falls!

Seeing the young dockworker fall to the fiendish vermin, Col turns his head to the topdeck. "Avast, mates! Pump those legs and get to the hold. There be a foul vermin tha' already fell Damash!" Turning to the elf enchanter, Col bellows, "Stop yer fancy magic'n, doncha know them vermin be mindless! Take it down from a'far! Careful boys of its tendrils, they be nasty!"
Hunkering down to keep the thing away from him, Col bellows to the wench at the top of the deck, "He'ya, lass! If you donna wanna be vermin food, best you be help'n the rest of us!"
OOC: Total defense with his longspear. Diplomacy check (good luck!) to try to convince the wench to help.

The instant blurs, but Damash felt a sudden pressure and then a sweet nothing as the darkness overtook him. He is home in the deep once more in his mind's eye, but he knows there was much he left undone.
'Such will be the measure I am held to...'
The Alabaster Tower was formed of flawless pearl and as Damash swam towards it, he knew the final judgement waited inside its watery halls.

Chongo spits on Vark's fallen body before turning, and moving as quickly as he can towards the hold. Once he enters the hold, he pauses as he takes in the sight of the rhagodessa - this is truly a creature out of a nightmare!
Chonog slids his spear into it's thong and pulls out a long, narrow javelin. He slips around Col, trying for a clear shot before letting the missile fly.
