Verdis continues to pull at the goo. He mumbles a heartfelt if weak thank you trying hard not to get the foul stuff in his mouth. Making little progress he takes out his waterskin and squeezes a blast of clean water into his face.
The beast would have to fall soon, Dara thinks, seeing how its claws rip into her allies. Losing herself into a ferocious battle rage, she lashes out with her blade against the water creature. The blade hurts the beast, and dark ichor oozes from the wound.
"Trevor! get away from that pool!" Kurt implores the young soldier. But seeing Trevor ignore him, Kurt moves to Trevor and cast Cure Light Wounds on him.
Dodging the Water 'Sepent,' Trevor perks up a slight bit, and actually smiles. "Finally! A foe that I can see!" And the roguish soldier immediately proceeds to attack the creature with "Mr. Crusher," his enchanted warhammer. The hammer slams the serpent, sending water splashing out of its "body."
Ragnok throws his keg of troll spirits straight at the creature, for a direct hit. The keg explodes into shards, coating the beast with the potent liquor.
Coraine sets into the beast once more, but with much less effect behind his swings, as the foul taint upon the beast has sapped him of his strength. His blow lacks the power to pierce the thick hide, doing little more than scratching the creature.
The water brute snarls again, and sends its claws and teeth against Dara. The barbarian woman is left with bloody claw marks across her arm, which she feels burning as the poison enters her system.
I need a Fort Save for Dara
The water serpent again targets Trevor, its acidic composition burning the rogue. It tries to pull the soldier off of his feet, but has a poor grip, and fails to do so.
