Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Jaras punches away with his spears, but each blow bounces off the creature's tough hide, unable to find purchase between the chitinous plates.

Anesta struck down hard with her axe, and then followed quickly with another blow, hoping to catch the creature off guard.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Anesta swipes with her axe as the creature moves away, but slashes only air as it dashes swiftly around the edge of the building.
However, when she dashes around for a better vantage, she manages to land a thrusting cut into a hole in the creature's plates, penetrating with massive force.
The beast screeches and stumbles, turning it's attention to the source of its great pain.

Michalson
HP: 17/24
Michalson tries to futher distract the creature with his staff while giving Jaras a chance to land a solid blow. Come on, stab it while it's distracted!
In other words, he uses Commander's Strike to grant Jaras a free attack against the monster.Last edited by Morty; 2008-09-28 at 03:03 PM.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Jaras' spear drives between the defenses of the creature, striking into its flesh and causing it to recoil in pain as it dodges to avoid the worst of the blow. Still, it looks hurt as it turns to the sources of its anguish, whirling a claw at Jaras, striking into his shoulder with a burning, slicing pain. Blood streams from the wound as the beast withdraws the claw and prepares to lunge again.
SpoilerThe monster strikes Jaras with a Basic Attack, dealing 10 damage and bloodying him.
Jaras' turn.
(OOC: I'll be out for a day or two, so feel free to post the rest of your turns before the monster's next attack.)Last edited by ArmorArmadillo; 2008-09-29 at 01:05 PM.

Also, Jaras, what kind of attack are you using?Gnoll Paladin with Zanbatou Avatar by Oregano.

(OOC: I'm a bit confused why you are not using your At-Will powers, but if you are entitled to use your Basic Attack)
Jaras attempts to get leverage against the beast, but his efforts to penetrate the beast's hide are in vain.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
reason i don't use at wills in this instance, is that i have hit and run, which just allows me to more w/o opportunity attacks, and then twin strike, which is less avg damage..... i could use it but i figured 6-13 was better than 2-16... didn't realize that he was THAT hard to hit..

Michalson seems enraged and insulted by this... bugs resilience. He steps back and fires two bolts of energy from his staff very quickly.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Michalson's blasts are rapid, but in his frustration his aim suffers and the bolts swing wide, breaking cobblestones and denting a wall.
The monster's eyes dart between the two melee warriors, he slashes a claw at Anesta, hitting the blunt end across her chest and knocking her back a bit. Using the distraction, it scurries swiftly out of its cornered position.
SpoilerHe hits Anesta with a Basic Attack, dealing 10 damage, and shifts a space away.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Although his first strike nearly penetrates the beast's thick plating, the creature swerves just in time to avoid being punctured and evade the second blow.
Anesta's turn.

Anesta gritted her teeth once more, cursing the strange creature as it struck out in hurt her. The tiefling stepped forward, bringing down her axe twice in a heavy blow intended to strike the creature down for good.

Anesta's advancing blows fail to penetrate the beasts tough plating, strong as they are. Michalson, close to the beast, strikes his staff on the ground and tries to break through its defenses with a burst of thundering energy.

(OOC: If you're wondering, Michalson was having a momentary net issue so I posted his action for him)
The beast weathers the shockwave without flinching, and turns to attack the source of that, scraping Michalson's arm with it's claw.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Jaras: With a free action you could shift to flank with Michalson, which would mean your first attack would hit. Since there's almost no reason you wouldn't, I would let you have done that

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Anesta stepped forward again, beginning to get angry at the beast for not curling up and falling before their strikes. Such a beast she had never encountered before, and she wouldn't want this to be her last battle.

Re: Drums in the Moonlight [IC]
Jaras, capitalizing off of Michalson's deadly strike, launches his own volley of blows. Each lands dead on in the creature's sides, and it screeches as greenish blood pours out of the wounds, burning the sidewalk as it lands. The creature trembles as it tries to regain its footing, its eyes darting angrily.
However, you hear a sudden, sharp whistle echo through the streets, and the creature immediately turns away, climbs up the wall of the building and over the rooftop, and dashes away into the night.
Battle Over! Take 350 Experience each for bloodying a Level 4 Elite Soldier and Learning the Identity of the Rose Creek Ripper
So, you've confronted some kind of deadly monster, but you've come out victorious, at least for now. The streets are quiet once again, save for the heavy breaths of your comrades.
SpoilerYou can theoretically make attacks of opportunity and two more attacks, but even if you all rolled crits it wouldn't be enough to down it.Last edited by ArmorArmadillo; 2008-10-12 at 04:32 PM.
