1.2 - In Search of Sanity - The Dead Don't Dream

Grim sets his jaw and narrows his eyes. He loads his crossbow again and shoots at the ghoul. Miraculously, the bolt hits its target, with a sickening sound of the impact into rotting flesh.

OOC:

I hope that breaks the dice curse for us all.

Since their attacks had clearly been jinxed by some dark power, he decided to even the odds.

**Round 2**

As the glow of Iosef's spell settles upon your group, Razhel launches a bolt at the creature, as it engages with Elias. The bolt misses, however, striking a nearby piece of stone and throwing chips of rock into Elias's face.

Elias goes to swing with his sword, but the dust in his eyes causes him to see double and his swing goes wide. He raises a hand to try and clear his vision and everything snaps back into view shortly thereafter.

Grim has better luck - his bolt finds space between the two combatants and buries itself into the ghoul's thigh. It hisses in pain and anger.

Axon's magic flashes a bright light in the creature's face but it shrugs the blinding flash off miraculously.

The ghoul launches into another attack against Elias as the knight prepares for the volley of strikes. Elias pulls back to avoid the bite and the creature's claws scrape into the metal of his armor, but not his flesh.

**Round 3**

OOC:

Round 3 Actions please - everyone may act. I had a crit fail cause Elias to be dazed for 1 round, causing him to lose his action (though it would have been a miss anyway this time).

Reminder: shooting into melee without the "Precise Shot" feat gives a -4 to attack rolls, a sizeable penalty. Keep this in mind for the offensive!

Similarly to his companions, Iosef fires a bolt at the creature. Seeing as this doesn't seem to help, Iosef drops the crossbow to the ground taking a mental note to pick it back up later and pulls free his dagger.

OOC:

Standard Action: Attack w/ Crossbow
Free Action: Drop crossbow
Move Action: Draw dagger

Unless someone beats him to the punch, Iosef is going to try and flank the ghoul. Flanking will give each flanking PC a +2 bonus to attack. Trying to think of a way to gain advantage here. Combat maneuvers could be helpful - a ghoul is at its most dangerous when it can make full attacks each round.

The blinding flash explodes in the ghoul's face. Somehow it staves off the light, seeming to blink at just the right moment.

OOC:

Yes, it saved against Black Motes here.

I don't know how it keep making these saves, but it saved against Flare again this time too.

Squadfather44 Inactive forever!

Ranged attacks from Razhel and Iosef fail to find their marks, while Elias's blade goes wide and the leering ghoul dances out of the way.

Grim's bolt, on the other hand, strikes the creature in the shoulder and it reels backwards in pain.

In response, the ghoul reaches it gangly arms down to swipe at Elias's legs in an attempt to trip the man - putting the armored man on the ground, perhaps, might allow it an easier time feasting on the warriors flesh! It is successful and though the warrior's blade strikes at it, the large man is taken to the ground, now prone.

**Round 4**

OOC:

Round 4 Actions please - everyone may act. While Elias is still prone, the ghoul is not consider 'in melee', so the -4 penalty on ranged attacks will not apply at the moment.

@Squadfather44 the combat maneuver against your provokes an attack of opportunity - if you wish to take it, go ahead and make an attack against the ghoul. Then you are prone as round 4 starts. You can stand up as a move action, but it will provoke an attack of opportunity if the goblin is still adjacent to you when you do.

OOC:

The dice roller is very suspect at this point. Its not only the dice roller, I've noticed lately, since the move to the new server, that formatting is a problem and there have been multiple posting incidents in every game I am in..sometimes up to four multiples of a single post are created. Just now. when I opened the window to make a roll, it created two windows for every time I wanted to make one roll.
