Shattered Star (IC)

[lostsole31]

R1T8: Though she could double-attack the monstrosity, Dorit rests on the tactical choice of greater accuracy. It's a good call, as two attacks would have missed. Her sword strikes true for 9 damage. As bits of humanoid stuff sloughs off here and there, it is obvious that this thing cannot last much longer.

End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T26: Behind the stairwell, Ichibod isn't quite sure how badly this creature is hurt. He goes to cast gravity bow on his weapon, but his focus isn't there. As his head clears from the sickness of the stench, he remembers that he used that spell with the derro (and it is well past 4 minutes since he cast it, the battle, and the search).

But no precious time is lost with the keen hunter, he pops out from behind the staircase - letting off two shots. "Take that, you depraved dung-smelling abomination!"

The first arrow hits true, but seems to be greatly minimized as it only does 5 mod damage. The second arrow misses.

R2T22: Paxre sees his opportunity, and goes for a chance to get in the first kill (but with no supernatural speed this time). He works with Natalya's distraction to cut deep into an exposed area for 15 damage! The thing drops, and only its stench and Natalya's grease remains. And the stench is horrible, but with its insides ripped open ... well, after you all retch as your characters may or may not do - your choice - the smell remains but the power of it goes away soon enough.

(Which, btw, Natalya would need to dismiss or it might have some interesting consequences...)

Combat over ...
