Descent into the Underdark

Nice! Despite the two hits, Ander is able to parry the bits away with his armor and his sword, taking no damage!

Standing back to back to back to…well, anyway lol, it all makes our knightly fellow fight and evade all the more valiantly.
Yes, it really really does!
In any case, Ander slashes two more strikes at his unfortunate assailant!

With a mighty swipe and hearty thrust of his sword, he has brought his foe one step from death!

Seeing the lizards hit his friends brings out a primal fury in Grinfletch. Grabbing the whip at his belt he holds it high above his head, focusing on the closest attacker, and shrieks: LELELELELELELELE!

He cracks his whip at his closest foe, hoping for damage but happy to scare the lizard back.

"They're all around us! Hold your breath!"

Oliver grabs one flask of darkmist fluid from his pouch and slams it on the ground, producing a cloud of thick darkness around them. He then swings his bat blindly in the direction where the hurt lizard was.

Brewner uses the tick smoke to conceal his movements and prepare a mighty attack, he swings his Warhammer with a roar

They keep up the attacks and try again with a pair of attacks each at their chosen targets. All but the one fighting Ander is attacking twice. The one fighting Ander is attacking and evading. The nice thing about being surrounded is that none of you are being ganged up on.

And ... Grin takes a hit. Everyone else escapes unscathed this round. But ... how will the characters' attacks fare?

Feeling triumphant at the last failed assault of the lizards, in the middle of darkness, Oliver fiercely swings the bat twice in the direction where the lizard noises come from, hoping to spark a hit.

Brewner, frustrated with his inability in this fight, comes out of the black cloud, grabs the Lizard attacking him by the tail and throws him at the nearest lizard, trying to stun them both.

Ander slashes his lizard assailant twice with his mighty sword!

Grin feels the terrible pain of a scratch from the lizard in front of him. OUCHIE!

With furious focus, Grin strikes out at his assailant again with his whip.

Actions: focus, attack

Both of Ander's attacks were at disadvantage, so only one of those actually hit. However, the lizard fighting Ander was evading, so ... (no luck).

The already wounded feathered lizard didn't have the remaining energy to successfully evade Ander's truly heroic sword stroke and falls to the mighty blow! The mortally wounded lizard lets out a scream before falling to the ground!

One of Oliver's manic bat swings crushes the chest cavity of his opponent. While this lizard is not able to let out a scream, the crunch of the bones was message enough!

One of Grin's whip snaps does make contact, but it is only a minor injury.

Brewner stepped out of the cloud, but doing so caused him to miss his grab a lizard. However, this does give him the opportunity to see the receding figure of Ishzu getting much closer to the marshes.

With a plaintive squawk from one of the remaining feathered lizards, the two remaining ones decide there are easier meals somewhere else and they beat a hasty retreat. As the ink cloud starts to dissipate, Grin, Ander, and Oliver see the backs of the receding lizards and the remains of the two they just killed on the ground. When they look around for Brewner, they see him looking off in the distance. Turning to see what he is looking at, they see Ishzu and the goblins much, much closer to the marshes.

Ander sheathes his sword. Proud of this his party’s present victory! Well done, my friends! A glorious victory indeed! They always are! Now quickly, let’s move. We must re-find Ishzu!

"Yes quickly! Before we lose sight of them, better to cover as much ground as possible when we reach the marsh i can try to track them"
