Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Rystil Arden]

*Kel moves up to attack the boar and tries to stab with his dagger, but he nearly slips on a stray crate that shifts in the fight, and misses, avoiding a fumble.*

*The boar sees its old enemy back to fight again, but it decides to come down off the crates in the opposite side of Shan from Kel, attacking the paladin for a vicious stab that impales him through the chest, but by Ilmater's blleeding palm, he does not fall when other men would have crumpled to the ground.*

(OOC: Kel misses on a 1, but not a fumble

Shan takes 7 Damage)

 

[Jolmo]

Shan lets out a cry and gathers himself for a final attack. He shakes the shield from his arm and takes the sword in a two-handed grip before driving it at the beast with a silent prayer.

(OOC: Two-handed smite, Attack +6, damage 1d8+5 (19-20x2). If that doesn't take out the boar, drop unconscious. HP will be -7 after attacking.)

 

[Boddynock]

Kel cries out in horrified sympathy as the boar gores Shan. He skips around to the other side of the doughty paladin and flanks the beast, stabbing it, seeking out its vitals in an attempt to put it down once and for all.

OOC: Attack (dagger) +3 (including flanking bonus), damage 1d4+1 (19-20/x2) +1d6 sneak attack; AC 15; hp 4/7.

(OOC: We're looking for Blunt and Titus still, I believe)

 

[Legildur]

(ooc: Sorry, I thought I had posted previously, but had seen no action for Blunt, so assumed it was going to happen later).

Blunt reloads his sling and lets the boar have it again. (Should the boar be killed, then he'll ready to attack the summoner should they show themselves).

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Oops! You did but I missed it because of the OOC about posting the RG link. Titus still needs to give actions though )

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Blunt and Titus both shoot at the boar, but neither has been trained extensively in slings, and trying to avoid both Shan and Kel makes the shot hard, so they miss the mark. Meanwhile, Shan brings his great blade down in a mighty smite that lays the boar as low as the paladin himself, but like Shan, the boar won't go down that easily, and it continues to fight. Meanwhile, Kel circles around and tries to flank it, but his clever attack finds only the boar's hide, as it angrily snorts and attacks the foe who hurt it so, stabbing Shan again but still unable to stop the mighty paladin.*

*Meanwhile, a shifting of the crates could indicate that the summoner finally managed to wriggle free, though it is impossible to tell exactly where he is located if this is true, as he is still invisible.*

(OOC: Boar takes 10 Damage, total 34

Shan takes 4 Damage, now he's at -11)

 

[Shayuri]

(...is this a DIRE boar? That's an insane number of HP!)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Normal boar. Ferocity ability makes it Diehard and fight to the death, just like Shan)

 

[Legildur]

(OOC: This lack of a cleric is killing us.... literally)
