Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 2351461" data-attributes="member: 4441">Pottofer calls for help from Eldath for the coming battle, and she sheilds him with health and protection against fear, as he feels something like cool water evelope him.  Brigitte fires an arrow from her longbow.  It flies true to the small one on the left, but it does not seem to falter from the blow.  Shar waits, dagger and sword at the ready.  Abdul and the Bedine riders throw up their bows and release a hail of arrows into the oncoming creatures.  All of them get hit, some more than once, and an unearthly chittering wail pierces the air.  Drax's arrow joins the riders', his arcing to hit the large one squarely.  Elexia calls upon Alnaria to protect her friends, and the faint laughter of children fills the air.  Virgil's heavy bolt slices cleanly through the large creature, while Gaoi's two small fiery bolts pierce the flesh of the other small one on the right.Now the creatures dive closer, and their forms are more clearly outlined.  The two small ones are a milky white, with wet-looking flesh.  Bulbous bodies with no definite features, or even a head, have bat-like wings rising from their backs.  Arms and legs sport large, hard-looking fists, and a single, mouth-like orifice gapes in the middle of its body.  The large one is almost more horrible, mostly because it is more familiar.  It superficially resembles an owlbear, but hunched and twisted and deformed.  A strange carapace of metal rides on its back like a giant beetle, and horn-like projections of crystal rise from its head.  There's a mad gleam in its eyes, and it is this that Shar hurls her dagger at, slicing the side of its head.  Elexia and Drax see the smaller creatures are starting to pull the ragged holes left by the arrows together, reforming their flesh, healing themselves.OOC Initiative:Pottofer - 20Brigitte - 19Shar - 18Abdul and Bedine riders - 17Drax - 16Elexia - 15Virgil - 11Gaoi - 5Monstrosities - 3Pottofer casts aid on himself, gaining 8 extra hit points.  Brigitte fires and hits a 16 on one of the smaller ones, but doesn't seem to do damage.  Shar delays.  Abdul and the Bedine riders fire, hitting all of them at least once, doing a small amount of damage.  Drax fires and hits the large one with an 18, doing 8 points of damage.  Elexia casts bless.  Virgil hits the large one with a 23, doing 6 points of damage.  Gaoi's magic missile does 6 points of damage to the second small one.  They swoop in to melee range, Shar throws her dagger, hitting a 22 for 5 points of damage on the large one.</blockquote>
