As Jar'Thol prepares to pole away from shore, and Ape imbues his staff with life energy, Three Flowers holds the line against the creature, managing to extemporise a poem as he does so. Again White Lotus flicks out with economy of movement, slicing a line of drak green across the creature's torso which almost immediately begins to close over. The creature's own poetry is less refined.
"Nuuuhhh," it says as it swings for Three Flowers. The paladin ducks one blow but the second catches him on the return and again he is hit with the force of a hammer blow and the burn of acid. Somehow even the trickle of blood flowing from the paladin's cut forehead seems stylish.
Annika throws the net and strikes true - not the best shot in the world but enough to slow the Thing and cause it to flail in a confused fashion against its entanglement. Sezing the moment, Xielt darts forwards with two clawsticks, cutting low and slicing into the Thing's legs twice with a hunter's precision.
Now dripping ichor from numerous wounds and covered by Wen's fishing net, the Thing shows no sign of giving up the attack.
