Traesta "This might not be your day."
But her strike fails to damage the humanoid who only growls at her, lashing back with his weapon. She grunts at his assault, feeling pain from his blow, but it seems minor. More importantly, she sees another creature closing on her position.
should not have the -1 adjust to damage... but w/e. My error.
Pebble makes to charge at #2 to aid
Conwenna, but sees the fiend crumble before her, so he turns towards #1 instead. #1, however has lost it's nerve at the dispatch of the other creature, and turns to run. Pebble makes little ground in the pursuit, and cannot attack.
Harker makes a valiant attack! His bright sword shining in spite of the dour gloom and rain. Unfortunately, his actions are all flash and no glory as the humanoids before him dodge the arc of his weapon. his opponent swings the makeshift mace at
Harker in turn, but the paladin is able to parry the blow with his own weapon, and both continue to melee.
With a terrible smile and a bestial growl,
Conwenna leaps over the quivering puddle of flesh her axe made of the humanoid, and she pursues #3, who immediately turns to flee. He cannot escape her however, and the second strike of her weapon finds it's meat, cleaving it's legs from under it with ease.
In her haste,
Conwenna overlooked another humanoid hiding behind a large rock. Sensing an opportunity, it sneaks behind
Conwenna to strike at her. Unfortunately, it's footing fails on the slimy bank, and his attack makes a loud splat as it strikes the earth at her feet, harmlessly.
With
Pebble pursuing it, humanoid #1 flees his cover, scrambling to escape up the slope.
Dorath, however has a faster weapon, and his bullet finds a mark where the creatures helm is thin, and he drops from the impact without knowing the form of his doom.
Igber is late to the action; probably overwhelmed by the chaos of events around him. He winds his sling to strike one opponent, and finding it slain before he is ready, turns to a second, only to see that one fall as well. Crestfallen, he draws his dagger, and starts towards a third.
By now, two more creatures have closed on the position held by
Traesta and
Harker. Without fear, they join the fray. #4 is frustrated by Harkers strong defense, his quick sword, and his strong armor.
Traesta is deeply involved in her fight, and cannot defend against another foe.
The new opponent strikes at her, and she again feels the pain of their crude weapons, but still the hurt seems less than she would have expected.
Paldon's blessing is her only thought as she presses the attack.
Once again, announce target, and roll initiative and attacks. The creatures have roughly the same speed as most of you, but several are stuck in combat, and those who have fled found it did not help much anyhow. If another round goes this well, you may route them.
