[sblock=Initiative]Yes, I apologize for not having thought of that. I'll include it along with the map from now on. But the monster's are still secret (until they go, of course)![/sblock]Buna's scourges tear the drake to pieces, and it falls to the ground, dead. However, Buna wasn't paying attention to the crawling claw at her feet, and is narrowly missed by a swipe from the airborn abomination.
The not dead drake thrusts its maw at Sekoqa, but miscalculates and misses, despite the rogue's pathetic inability to dodge.
Xuxgu finally feels the pain from the electricity coursing through the scorpion's claw, and then finds himself being attacked by its poisonous stinger. The sting hits Xuxgu directly in the leg and goes deep. Xuxgu feels his leg instantly beginning to weaken from the poison, while the other is still clamped by the claw.[sblock=Damage]Xuxgu takes 5 lightning damage from the scorpion's claw and 7 damage from the sting, for a total of 12 damage, reducing Xuxgu to 9 hp and bloodying him. Xuxgu also takes ongoing 5 poison damage and is immobilized from the poison (save ends both).
The other scorpion returns its attention back to the now conscious Nyjry. It grabs her with its claw, and Nyjry begins to know how Xuxgu must feel.[sblock=Damage]Nyjry takes 8 damage, reducing her to 12 hp and bloodying her. She is also grabbed by the scorpion until she escapes.[/sblock]
Sekoqa apparently has more luck than he thought. He hasn't been once injured in this entire battled. Knock on wood...the deva thinks. He slices at the drake, piercing its scales to damage its soft underbelly.[sblock=Damage]Piercing Strike: 21 vs. Reflex, 4 damage.[/sblock]The drake nearly collapses, but still has enough energy left for one last attack![sblock=Sek]Hold on...are you attacking S2, the scorpion, or D2, the drake? Your spirit is flanking the drake, but you said scorpion...I just want to make sure I don't mess something up.[/sblock][sblock=Map (and Initiative)]Initiative: Sekoqa (15), Sek (15), Nyjry (15), Wil (11), Xuxgu (10), and Buna (6).

The crawling claw is sharing Buna's square, because it is a Tiny creature. On another note, Arcane Power is out, and (when the time comes) you are free to use it. And soon, you shall have to face the wrath of the Monster Manual 2!!
This encounter is a little difficult, so I feel I should tell you the truth...you guys got darn unlucky when I was generating the random dungeon. To balance the possiblity of foes up to level 6, I make "negative level" monsters, who are basically level 1 monsters with penalties and less hp. You are up against level 2 encounter with no such enemies, so it seems a little difficult, especially since you are strange characters. Hopefully the sailing will be smoother here on out! But hey, they don't call it the Ultimate Dungeon for nothing. =)[/sblock]
