"Nice, Todarr," Karis grunts. She stabs at the snarling hound in front of her with a queer little twist, creating a wound that slows and distracts the thing.

[sblock=ooc]Standard: attack with Easy Target: +9 vs AC, hits AC 18 for 15 damage. If that hits, the target is slowed and grants me CA (save ends both). If that misses, it's half damage and CA until the end of my next turn.

Move: Shift N.

Powers used: AP, Torturous Strike, Elven Accuracy, Easy Target

[The Digger]

"What does it take to damage these things?" Joshua cursed as he launched yet another missile at the beast. "It's as if they're arnour plated."

[sblock=OOC]Magic missile vs Reflex; 15+6 = 21: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1709743/
Damage: 12: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1709751/ [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Arcana check trying to remember anything about these beasts; 20: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1709760/ [/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Joshua's frustration is lessened somewhat when his missile explodes into the hound nearest Karis, causing it to whine in protest.

[sblock=Results]
You hit. Beast is bloodied.
I'll have to check at home for arcana and what it reveals about this beastie.

Hounded by hounds

In a display that would be comical in other circumstances, Todarr is bitten hard and thrown to the ground yet again. But the beast has clearly lost some of its vigor since the last attack.

Karis finally tastes the bite of her beast, as it steps forward and locks onto her leg, wrestling her to the ground.

Rellek and Moreen remain adept at avoiding the teeth of the hounds, the former dancing around with near balletic grace, and the latter using her large shield to avoid injury.

[sblock=Results]
Karis takes 7 damage plus 5 ongoing necrotic and knocked prone.
Todarr takes 9 damage plus 5 ongoing necrotic and knocked prone.

[The Digger]

Although not any kind of leader, Joshua has at least a modicum of common sense. He realises that the party needs to regroup and the only way to do that is to get rid of at least one or two of these buggers - and do it soon.

"Sfaira Drasis Ischyros!" Joshua's words rang out as he extended his staff towards the nearest attacker (H4). A flash of unearthly light shot forth and a soundless explosion burst around the hound.

[sblock=OOC] +6 vs Reflex = 20: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1710096/ http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1710100/ Damage=14[/sblock]

Almost before the spots disappeared from his eyes Joshua was in action again. With frightening speed his staff twirled and stabbed to the ground whilst his fingers pointed again at the hound.

"To Belos Ischyros!" This time the flash which shot from his fingers was more liken to a bolt or an arrow. Unfortunately just as the bolt flew from his fingers he stumbled on an outcrop of the strange flowers and the bolt shot harmlessly into the sky.

"Sazhafraj!" The strange oath which burst from the wizard's lips raised goosebumps on Mardrick's flesh.

[sblock=OOC]Action Point for another Standard action.
Magic Missile: Rolled 1!! (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1710108/ )[/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Joshua's latest barrage inspires Mardrick, who surprises himself by burning off one of the hound's ears with a flash of blue flame.

Meanwhile, Rellek continues his tireless assault on the hound to the south, hitting it with one of the axes and hastening it towards its final end.

[sblock=Results]
Joshua hits H4 for 14 damage, bloodying it.

Mardrick hits H4 for 3 damage.

Rellek attacks H5, rolls combined +6, +5 vs AC for a hit and a miss, doing 1d10+1+1d8 = 13 damage and bloodying it.
