The Story

The strange and vile looking creature spits out blood as it makes a gargling roar sound. It half walks, half slides from the table and kicks it with great force in the direction of Elma.

monster

At the same time, the bony claw comes down like a hammer from above as it towers over the lizard form of Jotna. It grazes the ceiling, making fresh grooves in the stone before slamming down with great force.

OOC:

Both Elma and Jotna roll for defense. If you fail, you take the damage rolled below.

OOC:

Wow you guys got lucky on those damage rolls :D
Warning shot, I suppose! Haha

Borda

As you try to figure out whether or not this thing is real, its claw rushes beside you and you feel the wind caused by its movement in your face. You're pretty sure it's real enough to worry about.

OOC:

After the 2 attacks from the monster, it's the PC's turn.

The Story

Elma

Elma stares with morbid fascination as the meat creature forms and moves off the table. Then, without warning, it kicks the table hard and it's heading straight for her face!

The shield would be way too small for this size blow so she tries her best to jump out of the way. She is mostly successful, but the broken pieces that fly off hit her in the back and she feels a searing pain.

In response, she rears around and swipes at it with the scavenged dagger from poor old Keftar.

OOC:

Is Elma able to use her armor (Light Leather Armor (-d2 damage, Tier 1) or shield (-1 HP damage or have the shield break to negate one attack) without breaking one of them to negate the damage?

OOC:

Yes you can use your armor. I think you even have to if you're wearing it. On a crit or fumble, armor is damaged. (Depending on who is criting or fumbling)
The shield can also be used.

I'm not sure how that works for Jotna in lizard form, it looks like the lizard already has damage reduction included.

I don't think there's a minimum 1 damage rule in the book. But if people would like that to be a thing, we can implement it. For now you can reduce to 0 damage.

Lizard Jotna tries to recoil in time to avoid the claw, but her tough hide can absorb the damage regardless (absorbs d2 damage per round). Then she lunges in to bite the nasty creature with her lizard's jaws!

OOC:

@Drgwen are you using an omen on that fumble dodge?

EDIT: Adding some more info for you.
If you take the fumble, you will take double damage. You'll have to roll that d2 for armor and possibly receive 1 damage (this can also be reduces by an omen if you want to)

OOC:

[ +- ] Another combat rule

The monster seems angry that it didn't manage to crush its puny targets on its first try. Then, the attacks of the group come barreling down on it. Elma's dagger and Merkari's flail sink deep into the flesh and create large bleeding wounds. It barely manages to slip away from Jotna's bite and in the process moves into the path of Borda's bullet. It hits the flesh nicely, but seems to do little damage. Especially compared to the other attacks.

monster

The creature cries out in anguish and seems badly hurt but it is still standing.

In a fit of primal rage, it sweeps its claw across the room at knee-height trying to attack everyone at once. At the end of the sweep the bony claws plunge themselves into the stone wall of the kitchen, leaving it more vulnerable to attacks.

OOC:

Everyone in melee range defend (DR 12) Agility against a d8 attack. I think that's everyone except Borda.
On your next attack you get a +4 to your attack roll (on top of your stat bonus)

Edit: 1 damage again??!!?? This is a seriously weak monster :/

Rolls

d2 creature armor (Elma, Merkari, Borda) - (1d2, 1d2, 1d2)

The Story

Elma

Though she still feels the sting from the broken table, it feels like it will only be a bruise and not a true injury. Just as she is catching her breath, the creature sweeps out with its bony claw to slice through all of them! She does her best to jump out of the way once again.

Seeing how effective the dagger has been, Elma lunges forward again and slashes at the monster!

OOC:

With the crit dodge, does Elma get to try attacking a second time for free?

The Story

OOC:

Yes, that second attack is allowed with the crit, quilltid. Looks like only Elma hit this round.

Elma

You stab the monster again and it recoils from your blade, more blood spilling from its wounds. With a groan it pulls its claw free from the wall and eyes the 4 of you as if looking for the juiciest target.

Jotna and Merkari

While you stand there, a voice calls out inside your head. This time it's not Malista like in your dreams, but a deep sinister voice. "Come to me, sisters. Chaos awaits you!"

OOC:

Please roll a DR6 presence test for me.

Borda

Your sling flies out of your hands with your shot. Perhaps it was not securely fastened. Or the slimy mess in this kitchen has made it slippery.
It lands on top of the creature and is now soaked in rotten meat blood.

OOC:

The creature fights on.
