(ooc: Ok, sorry it took me so long to get this up, guys. Also, I'm still trying to get the hang of Dundgeni, so I don't know how to make it print the grid markers. I'm working on it, though, I promise! And also I made an error on the first map and did not take in to consideration the size of the Apes. I'm sorry.)
Sepoto quickly scales the nearest tree, and pulls out his bow as soon as he finds a perch. Meanwhile Darrick and Steadfast ride up next to Catherine. Darrick holds his sword at the ready in case either of the animals come within reach.
The southern-most animal snarls and charges towards Darrick, its superior reach allows it to claw at him from outside of Darrick's reach. However, the animal's claws glance harmlessly off of Darrick's shield.
Catherine, having an up close view of the animals, is able to identify them as Dire Apes. She held her Halberd at the ready and attempted to intimidate them. She seemed to have no effect on the Apes, however.
The northern-most Ape charged at Catherine and made a vicious swipe at her chest. Catherine Screamed in pain as the Ape's claws connected and left two wounds on her right shoulder. Catherine reacted quickly and swung her Halberd mightily at the beast that attacked her, she connected and the Ape grunted in pain.
Kaelan was also able to identify the Apes as he rushed towards the southern-most one. His Scimitar burst in to flames as he cleaved a savage blow at the Ape. The Ape howled in pain as Kaelan's blades connected. The Ape then turned to Kaelan and made a clumsy motion to claw him. Kaelan easily danced away from the Ape's claws.
Trebuchet's magic made an impressive display, however the Ape was able to dodge the flames and escape unharmed.
Charles rushed to Catherine's aide and speared the Ape that was attacking her. The Ape growled, but appeared to shake off the effects of Charles' poisoned spearhead.
The ape then turned and made a swipe at Charles, its claws raking across his left thigh.
(Phew! I think that was everything. Damage total: DireApe1 took 15 damage, DireApe2 took 28, Catherine took 10 and Charles took 8. Map for round two is below.)
