[sblock=Peladus]Peladus steps out of reach and bathes the monstrosity in a swirl of shimmering light. It doesn't even appear to notice.
OOG: no miss chance required.[/sblock][sblock=Midias, Ngikhnit, Pendrake]The creature slaps back at its assailants, directing two of its myriad tentacles at the off-balance Ngikhnit. One drives past his knee, the other into the pit of his stomach, winding him.
The creature rolls like a ball west, and loses itself in the darkness again. It buffets Pendrake, and in doing so slips from hiding. A tentacle whisks past Midias without touching him.
Gillin, wrinkled face contorted with anger, moves in front of the fallen Quozen.
"Take this, you filth!" he shouts, and delivers a swing worthy of the adventurer of old. It seems to the warriors looking on that Mildred more easily spatters the resistant black skin than their own weapons. Alas, the unpleasant ripping and tearing happens again, as the creature tries to rid itself of the object embedded in its body by pulling its flesh away from around it.
A second - no, a fourth - creature is born, and the shiny exposed sides of each turn leathery even as new tentacles extrude. This newcomer flops east, and continues to attack. But it seems confused, and strikes only Gillin. He cries out with pain, but remains standing.[sblock=OOG]So much rolling! Two attacks on N, a
miss, then a hit for
4, taking Ngikhnit to 0, and disabled. 5' step west, everyone loses sight momentarily, attack on Pn, now flatfooted, hit for
4. He's on 35 HP. Everyone regains sight of it; it attacks Midias and
misses.
Gillin steps up and hits with Mildred for
6. Creature splits into UT2 and UT4.
UT4 5' steps east, and attacks. Everyone bar Midias lost sight of it until after its first attack, but it was easier not to split the narrative just to reflect that.
Misses Pendrake
twice. Hits Gillin for
4 (he's AC 8, poor fellow).
Misses Ngikhnit.[/sblock][/sblock]OOG: end of round 15. Pause here to let IVV roll one, possibly two, stabilization rolls, for the end of last round and the end of this.
