Combat Round 3
On the vulture ledge:
The vulture-men—if you can call the humanoid-ish parts of these things "men"—gang up on Tanner. They bite and claw at him with four sharp-taloned claws each in a ranging, violent frenzy. The one in front of him manages a mere scratch
(-3 HP), but the other one takes savage advantage of its position behind him, tearing into him with three claws and a bite
(-16 HP). He fights back with two slashes of his frost sword, opening a deep gash in the chest of the thing in front of him.
In the corridor below:
Malibran views the troubles all around and quickly decides that Khogeki is needed in the fight. The cleric begins a prayer to Pholtus that would dispel the magically-summoned insects surrounding the monk. The Unseen Servant, who is now Unseen mostly because of the cloud of bugs surrounding him, continues to scratch and swat
(-2 HP). The snake monster bites and claws at him through the cloud of bugs, but even beset by the swarm, the monk is too fast.
Meanwhile, Risdac is finally able to breathe without becoming violently ill, thanks to the toad-thing chasing after Rool. Risdac manages to pull himself together long enough to cast a summoning spell
(dice roll). He wants to bring a monster forth to fight for him. But wherever this ship is, it is much closer to the lower planes than it is to anywhere with a hydra or a troll. What appears in response to his summons is a seven-foot tall gargoylish thing with tightly coiled muscles, long, pointed claws, and great leathery wings.
It is not happy to have been summoned here.
"Youuuu daaare summmmon meeee? I havvvveee eaaaaten mannnny off yourrrrr"— it hisses...up...at Risdac before realizing it is threatening something at least twice as big as it is. And at least twice as ugly.
"...kind. Erm. You will die?" it finishes lamely. It flies up at the mage, managing to scratch him with the claws of one hand
(-4 HP). His other claws and his teeth grind against Risdac's tough skin.
Malibran completes his prayer. The cloud of insects vanishes.
(The Unseen Servant can attack next round).
Further back:
Hallagad and Rool struggle against the extreme inappropriate hugging of the toadman monsters, who continue to squeeze and bite
(Hallagad: -14 HP; Rool: -11 HP). Neither is able to break free. Xale hurls his hammer again, but it slips from his hand and
hits Hallagad instead! (-8 HP) clatters against the wall behind him, preventing him from any further attacks this round.
Odilo floats to the ground and cancels his levitation spell. He fires a pale pink ray at the toadman monster from his staff
(-1 charge). It seems to have no effect.
- End-of-round summary:
- Odilo: On the ledge at the aft part of the room
- Xale: On the ledge at the aft part of the room
- Hallagad: Held in the grasp of the frog thing, near where the waterfall used to be. Cannot attack. -2 to attack/init. Near death.
