Olna

Olna, still singing, takes a step back (G8) to avoid being near the ghastly creature and draws her bow and fires a single arrow at the creature who has yet to engage into combat. The arrow flies from the bow but curves away from the creature only to land in the dirt a few paces away.

The creature nearest Adrian attacks him as Adrian finishes attacking it. The creatures hits with its slam attack knocking into the small halfling and almost knocking him to the ground (12 dmg) and as the small man is knocked around he feels a tingling sensation as the creatures tongue licks him (make a DC 17 fort save).

Louis's companions vanish rather quickly as the creature comes near leaving only him. The creature unleashes its slam attack against the young man but misses and the creatures tongue attack also misses him.

Finally, the creature fighting with Throshkar is unable to score a hit on the brave knight with its slam attack but the numbing sensation of the tongue touching Throshkar (make a DC 17 fort save).
