Against the Cult: Getting Away with It (1.8a)

Round three, continued

Seeing her companion cut down once more, Myrtha trusts Theran to do what's needed while she seethingly deals with the brute that smashed Reptile in the face. Raising her shield, Myrtha catches the battery of club blows and knocks the weapon to the side, making on opening for the longer sword to do its work. H.A. tries to back out of the way, but Myrtha's reach is long and her blade slices a long gash down his arm, ripping the fabric and flesh up to his shoulder. H.A. takes 8 slashing damage.

Round three, continued

"Lucky strike!" The burly robed man is looking much more worried now, but he's trying to talk himself up with bravado. "Now I'll show you how I treat little girls like you!" Remembering how he's beat up women in the past seems to work: H.A. switches his club to his other hand and attacks Myrtha again. The switch catches her slightly off guard, and the club manages to strike her shoulder painfully. Myrtha takes 4 bludgeoning damage.

End of round three

Theran's disembodied skeletal hand snatches at H.A. again, but the villain twists and dodges away from its grasp. "Oh, you're gonna get yours!" H.A. exults. "Did you hear that noise? That's Derek, bringing our friends!"

"Secret room?" H.A. is puzzled, but he raises his voice in the hopes that it will speed up his reinforcements. "He's just getting them out of bed!"

"This way!" a voice yells nearby, and the door behind the bar slams open. He wasn't lying about the reinforcements!
