IC AoW - Encounter at Blackwall Keep (PF) (Take 2)

[DarkOne-Rob]

Round 9

Lydia spears two lizards (killing them), her supernatural speed making the strikes look something like a snake striking, faster than the eye can follow. Frederick misses with his sword strikes while Jan struggles through the thick mud to blast several attackers into unconsciousness with her familiar spray of colored light. Amearin summons a celestial giant ant, its unusually large size making it a reasonable threat as it charges at the lizardfolk leader. It doesn't connect, but it allows Olofire to do two grievous strikes to the reptile from his position on the back of the snapping turtle mount, as a claw and one bite connect. Finally, Amearin hits one lizard with a ray of arcane cold, chilling it and doing minor damage.

With a violent shake the turtle and its rider attempt to throw Olofire off, but the lithe halfling hangs on, his dexterity serving him well in spite of his lack of training. With a snap of its jaws, the turtle extends its neck and barely misses Olofire's neck, instead biting him on the shoulder and failing to get a grasp of the feral doctor. Similarly the lizardfolk leader strikes at him, missing with his morningstar (which up-close, Olofire notices is of very fine quality and most likely enchanted) but connecting with his own bite attack. (Olofire takes 16 total damage from the two attacks.)

...while the rest of the warband try to swarm around their leader and Frederick. The barbarian still cannot get out of Jan's pit and another warrior slips and falls in the grease. Lydia kills two more approaching lizards as they get in range of her deadly spear. One lizardfolk, however, gets a lucky hit on the enlarged half-orc, and another throws a javelin, hitting Lydia painfully. (Frederick takes 8 damage. Lydia takes 9 damage.)

As the melee continues the human soldiers cheer on the heroes, some obviously encouraged and others worried for Olofire as they watch him in the middle of the mass of reptiles...
