The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

OoC: Last post edited again to reflect Sielwoodan's other (rapid fire) shot. So, a recap of what's happened so far this round to clear any confusion:

Sielwoodan's 1st shot: Missed
Sielwoodan's 2nd shot: 5 damage
Calenthang's attack: 8 damage
Owlbear's attack: 10 damage (To Calenthang)

~

Dunstand slides another dagger out from one of the many locations on his body he keeps them, and throws it at the owlbear, but does not manage to strike his target.

Ayden hefts his magical hammer as he rushes to Calenthang's aid, swinging the large weapon at the owlbear, attempting to swat it away from his fallen companion. (7 Physical/4 Shock) The creature screeches in anger as the magical lightning sends electrical charges throughout it's body.

Sending Rex to guard Gharlef and Therav, Drogo moves up to Calenthang and casts his spell on him to increase his strength. As Calenthang gets to his feet, he feels stronger then ever, his weapon feeling lighter, but more powerful in his hands, he is bolstered on to strike back at the owlbear in force.

Teleri joins the fight as well, unsheathing her sword and meeting the owlbear with her blade. She swings at the ancient creature before her, finding an opening that allows her to wound the creature. (4 damage)

Initiative:

Sielwoodan - 20
Calenthang - 17
Ancient Owlbear - 15
Dunstand - 14
Ayden - 14
Drogo - 12
Teleri - 4

Dunstand lets out a series of foul curses blaming a number of gods, parents and body parts for his dagger flying wide of his target.

Quickly drawing his Rapier he moves into close combat.
(+4 Melee, Rapier 1d6+1)
 

Drogo

If there appears to be room, Drogo will engage with his spear and shield. Otherwise, he'll pause, prepared to cast a CLW spell on anyone who appears in bad shape.
 

Teleri adds a few memorable curses of her own, as the owlbear manages to rip her shirt on one swing as she makes another move. "Damnit! THAT's my favorite shirt!" she growls, attacking once more.
 

Calenthang, unaware of the reason for his sudden boost in strength, figures his second wind has come early and presses his attack on the ancient owlbear with more earnest.
 

As the head of the hammer connected with the owlbear forcing it to step back for a moment in pain and frustration, Ayden momentarily could not believe the irony of the situation. All of his life, he had been the embarrassment of the Wyvernspurs when it came to his martial prowess, and now he was standing in front of a creature that could cave in his skull from a single blow from its paw.

As Calenthang rose from the ground, Ayden stepped to the elvish warrior's wounded side, trying to protect his friend as best he could by proximity. Bringing the hammer up once again, Ayden forced the doubts from his mind and swung the hammer at the creature's chest, hoping to shatter a rib or two in the beast's chest.
 

OOC: As I didn't act yet since my last post... Here a reminder:

Was I wise to suggest that? thinks Sielwoodan to himself. He move on the side, to have a better view of the creature, and rapidly shoots two arrows.

OOC:
(Free) 5 ft.
(Full) +7/+7, 1d8+3 (Including Rapid Shot and Point Blank Shot)
note: 2 arrows shot up to now in this combat
 

Sielwoodan looses two more arrows into the owlbear, both striking it's flank with a satisfying *thunk* (5 damage/4 damage)

Calenthang slashes deep into the owlbear's abdomen, blood further matting the creature's feathers. (10 damage)

The ancient creature howls in rage at it's wounds, slashing and clawing at those near it. A claw catches both Calenthang and Ayden, putting gouges in their armor. (Calenthang - 7 damage / Ayden - 10 damage) In addition it lashes out at Ayden's neck, snapping at him with it's beak, barely missing him.

Dunstand makes his way around and steps up behind the owlbear, striking at the creature. (Crit! 12 damage) Ayden's swing just misses the owlbear's chest as it swings around towards Dunstand in response to his attack from behind. Drogo as well misses with his spear jab as he finds a place to join in on the melee.

Teleri's eyes widen as her next swing appears almost guided by her sword as it strikes down hard on the owlbear, it's attention diverted elsewhere. The sword cuts deep into the creatures side, and in response the creature tenses up, shudders a moment, then drops where stands, letting out a last moan of a death wail. (Crit! 16 damage)

OoC: Teleri may now treat her sword as +1 ;)
 

Calenthang turns his neck to the side in a quick bone-cracking motion and pats himself down. He looks at his beat-up armor with some distaste.
"There might be more spiders nearby..." he points out quietly and looks to Sielwoodan pointedly.
 

Dunstand spits on the creatures carcass and retrieves his daggers.
“See, that’s why I don’t like the outdoors. First we get attacked by big hairy spiders and then (pointing at the owlbear) this.. this creature.”
