Combat Summary, round 7
Knowing he is useless in a fight an vulnerable as well without his eyesight, Verdis immediately begins to try and remove the goo, but to no avail. The ichor has dried into a thick, hard crust.
Putting her sword to good use again, Dara now aims at the bugbear that newly arrived, after the other has been slain, and slays that brute as well with an excellently placed strike. But she also takes a look to the right, where her allies are fighting the water beast. She steps behind the creature, to help Coraine out some.
Hearing Verdis' cry of anguish, Kurt glances to see the Warlock clutching his acid-splashed face. Seeing that the bolts of energy are the only thing making any substantial impact on the aquatic-beast, Kurt resolves himself to assist. "Cover me!" he says to Dara as he withdraws from the fight and immediately moves to Verdis. "I'm here my friend. Cannot you feel Heironeous' blessing upon you?" as helps the Warlock clear the goo.

Dismayed, Ragnok takes a step away from the creature. "Watch out for its claws," he warns his comrades. "They're poisoned. Damned thing's sapped my strength." Then, as a thought strikes him, he smiles gleefully and unties the keg of troll spirits he's been carrying for weeks. Staving in the top with a single blow from Norryjar, he says, "Anybody got some fire?" He'll then step forward and splash the contents of the keg over the water creature.
Trevor calls out, "Somebody get me a towel! This acid is still eating away my skin!" However, he actually notes that the burning has stopped...at least, the new burning. The wounds inflicted by the acid are painfully inflamed.
"Damn you to HELL, foul water thing!" shouts Coraine as he sets into the thing again, not sure he was doing too much against it, but he was presenting himself as a target, hopefully sparing some of the others. His strikes do little more than scratch the beast's armored hide.
The water beast spins and attacks Coraine, clawing and biting at him savagely. The knight evades most of the blows, but does suffer one ragged gash for the creature's claws.

Trevor's reprieve suddenly ends, as what can only be described as a water serpent - that is, a serpent literally made up of the liquid in the pool - suddenly rears up over the edge of the pool to strike at the soldier. Fortunately, Trevor is quick on his feet, and scrambles out of the way just as the serpent strikes.
