Ealdwig feeling a little beat up decides to hang back and use his new bow again. Ok, let's see how this goes. Common just once. Breathe slowly and ... As he exhales he lets it fly.

Ishzu's body shows signs of cracks in his crystalized form. With the mantle thing flung away from him, Ishzu tries to smack the bigger, meaner-looking thing with his staff twice.

Having just been released from the big monster’s tentacle, Grinfletch is overwhelmed momentarily by fear. He runs back to the north and looks up to see a light. For a moment, he can’t make out what the light is, but his eyes adjust and he sees Ealdwig, his head-light brightly shining, aiming his bow. As Ealdwig lets his arrow fly, Grin whips around to see the arrow hit its target. He looks back at Ealdwig, feeling his fear rush out of him.

Huzzah! He throws his fist into the air, then with renewed confidence, he turns, loads, aims at the Roper and shoots his crossbow in a single motion.

Ealdwig and Ishzu continue to assault the Roper but Grin's aim is off for the new range and he misses

Roper
The Roper roars in anger and flails its arms about. This time it throws Blornvid as far as it can while three other tendrils reach out to grab others. Blornvid arcs high in the grasp of the tendril before being released to fly up, then down to the stone floor of the cave. The Roper's howling drives the Darkmantle to ignore their wounds and continue their attacks
darkmantle

Blornvid roll a Save to see how bad you take the fall. 2 6's = you cut the arm before going too far so take no damage, pass = 1 damage, fail = 3 damage

Ishzu continues to dance around the Roper, avoiding its tendrils but Skeeve and Ander are not so lucky and are grabbed by the long tendrils. Unfortunately Ishzu is stuck hard by the Darkmantle, as is Skeeve, who lowered his gaze from the circling Darkmantle when the tentacle grabbed him.

The two dark mantle are hurt, with the one by the Roper on its last tentacle. The Roper itself is severely hurt now. Both Skeeve and Ander are in the grips of the long tendrils that have proven can be broken or simple escaped (save or other action test). Ishzu is critically hurt.

Ealdwig, with new found confidence, nocks an arrow, takes a deep breath, OK one more time breathes out slowly and let's loose.

"Did you see that? The big one gave some sort of order to the small ones. If we defeat it, the small ones might scatter!"
And he proceeded to sling one rock at the tentacle holding Ander, and another rock at the tentacle holding Skeeve.

Aye, you’re right! Come on, let’s keep up the pressure!

Grin takes two shots, first at the Roper itself, and second at the tentacle holding Skeeve.

Realizing he’s making little headway, our knightly fellow tries one more slingshot. He begins rethinking his strategy, perhaps to switch to his sword instead.

Oh, what to do, valiant Knight?

Even as Ander,pads another stone into Trusty Sling, his gauntleted hand rubs against…a certain token in his pocket. Is this really the best way to attack darkness? Or should I swing away? Hmmm….

Ander pauses only briefly in knightly wonderment. For now, he sends another stone into underdarkened air!

Ishzu now looking pretty chipped and cracked decides it is time to move away from the large bity thing.
He moves closer to the larger group.

The Roper tosses Blornvid but doesn't get as much leverage as it would've liked. Still, it's far enough for Blornvid to come down hard.

Ealdwig continued mocking of the laws of probability, chance, and averages causes his aim to miss, again. Oliver manages to free Ander with his shot and Grin continues to attempt to bring down the Roper. Ander continues to study at the school missed knockes with Ealdwig. Someday they will graduate to hard knocks. Blornvid manages to free himself and ends up about 20' from the Roper.
OOC:
Finish Him! You got this guys!
Just a reminder. Death in this game can only occur due to failed ST after being knocked unconscious at 0 HP. Damage stops at 0 HP. Any character can help stabilize unconscious character with a standard test.

OOC:
Have to do this in two steps to see what the first roll is ...
Skeeve tries to blink backwards, out of the tentacle.

... and he tries again ...

... and he's doomed.
