Message: <blockquote data-quote="Envisioner" data-source="post: 7942927" data-attributes="member: 6749263">Ashur[ooc]I seem to have left the house without my PHB this morning, but I thought I remembered the DC of the concentration check being based on the amount of damage taken, so how does a 15 pass when you were hit for 20?  Forgive me if I'm mistaken, I'm just trying to relearn the rules of a game I haven't played in a while.[/ooc]Bannor[ooc]You still get one or two more attacks if you want them; I said you lost one attack, not "all but" one.  I'm a little unclear whether you usually punch three times or four, but this time you can do two or three.[/ooc]The chimera hisses snakily as Bannor's knee corkscrews into its wounded side before he leaps clear.  The elegance he sought a moment before no longer eludes him, as he lands on one foot in a perfect "crane style" stance just beside the monstrosity, and remains ready to strike again.[ooc]By default, a chimera has 114 hit points; this one is badly injured and half-starved, so I intended it to have significantly less than the maximum, but I never got around to actually mathing out exactly how much less. Assuming Ashur is indeed still concentrating on his spell, the 42 damage he just did, combined with the 54 previous to that, and Bannor's 6 just now, totals 102.  This should probably be enough to take him out, but given the rules confusion, I'll say he has 1 hit point left, which either Bannor or Analiese will get to deprive him of. Unless it turns out that the Hunter's Mark did indeed go down, in which case we'll have to recalculate, and it might take both of them to beat the beast.Meanwhile, in case she ends up having nothing else to do by the time she gets her turn, Ana can give me an Intelligence-based Perception roll to notice something unusual, even amid the chaos of combat.[/ooc]The chimera shrieks in anguish and probably a bit of unaccustomed fear; it already had to maim itself to escape captivity, and it expected one easy victim rather than two dynamoes of violence (plus an archer which it has barely noticed).  As it begins to back away sidelong, still too hungry to outright abandon its intended meal and the victim that it has already tasted, both men see an orange glow beginning to shine out from between its slightly-parted jaws.**************Dumos & RobynGarwyn maintains his nonchalant pose, leaning against the invisible barrier, and says in answer to Dumos, "Well, we've tried just about everything we could think of," and then promptly falls over backward upon the flagstones of the courtyard.  "Except that (ow)," he adds, while creakily getting back up and dusting himself off.  "(ow) Never thought to (ow) try doing that.  Looks like somebody in there just got the all-clear memo, or else your arrival was expected.  I'd better get back to my post, give Qwynny and the various clerics my regards."</blockquote>
