Since everyone seems to be ready, I let out a bloodcurdling howl at the top of my lungs, to attract the creature's attention.

I then string an arrow, ready to shoot the beast as soon as it emerges.


OOC: djrdjmsqrd, you need to update your .sig -- Rape of Morne 2 has begun :). And now In Hextor's Name is there? Woo! :D
 


OOC...

yes, In Hextor's Name has made it into my top story hour list. and since your comment it hit me that you post it. yes, i do enjoy it a great deal. both of the characters.
 

Violence!

The shout echoes across the desert. Mere seconds later, you hear the scrambling of many chitinous legs, and a scorpion about 10 feet wide and 2.5 feet tall comes rushing out of the hole. The party, being pre-prepared, is easily able to attack first.
Tores fires his bow (15+3=18) and lodges (7+2=9) an arrow into the scorpions hide. Sul'Dan also looses an arrow (15+5=20) and lodges it in a chink in the scorpions armor (6+2=8). Gavin, also looses an arrow (16+4=20) and strikes the scorpion in the base of it's leg (6+2=8). Arcanra guides the charging knights around Alexander. Alexander, spurs his mount into a charge against the beast, and lowers his heavy lance. The resulting assault, (12+8=20), catches the scopion in it's head, and lodges itself deeply (15+6=21), wrenching itself from Arcanra's grasp. Jasper, fires his crossbow at the rear of the scorpion, (16+4=20) and his heavy bolt lodges itself into the scorpion (6). (the scorpion has taken 52 points of damage this round.) Both of the scorpion's claws pass through Arcanra's images. The scorpion's tail lashes forward, and is barely able to pierce Alexander's armour. Alexander is knocked from his horse, which proceeds to gallop to safety, and grimaces in pain, as he hits the ground, his left arm throbbing from the sting (9 damage.) Alexander also feels slightly weakened as the scorpion's poison pumps about his body.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Scorpion = -52
Alexander = -9
 

OOC: Don't wanna sound rules-lawyery or anything but isn't the DC to remain in the saddle when damaged 5?

IC:
Alexander tries to roll away from the scorpion and gets into a defensive position, ready to hold off its attacks until it can be brought down.
"It stung me.. I Don't know if I'll be able to hold off the poison, we'ld best be quick about this."
 



Arcanra has one of his illusionary knights stagger, as if reeling from the blow that it has taken. It then drops to it's knees in front of the scorpion, as if unable to walk. Hopefully, that will draw the scorpion to it, seeing an easy target. The other knight wheels 'round for another charge.
 

Jasper will continue to fire bolts at the Scorpion, unless it comes at him, when he will melle with Axe and Dagger.
