When Fal gets close enough he'll fire Magic Missile, aiming for the creature's head.

Well the range is probably ok since the range for you on MM is 140 feet.
You can aim for the head, not that it will make a bunch of difference.

Subject Players
I have heard from most every one.
As some of you know we have not heard from either Ami or Nate. I have sent them an e-mail asking them if they still want to play and have not heard back from them. I have given them until the end of the week to get back to me.
Since it is looking like they are going to drop I have taken steps to get some new players. Early next week or so they should start playing. They are already on the mailing list and are reviewing the archives so that they will have an idea of what has gone before.
The two new players are Josh and Jason. Welcome, even if it is a bit premature.
I will try and get the first turn of the fight out tonight.

Subject Round 1
Initiative(Ran 13, Cai 13, Creature 13)
With a howl at Ran's warning the beast knows that it has lost the surprise it had hoped for. The creature hurls itself towards the party. The size of the ogres that they had fought several days ago it is easily 9 feet tall, and looks a bit like a wolf, but not a wolf. Cai takes aim and releases two quick arrows (AC17, 13+5=18, hit, Damage 1, 12+5=17, hit, Damage 0) The first creases the side of the creature and the second seems like it should have hit but does no damage.
As the creature continues to run at Cai and Ran it gathers itself and right when it reaches them it launches itself over them. It easily clears them. As the beast is passing over them Ran takes a swing.(AC17,17+6=23, hit, Damage 1) His sword connects but seems to almost bounce off the creatures hide doing almost no damage.
The creature passes over the two and lands 20 feet behind them, and only 25 feet in front of Salix and Fal.
OODM: I have updated the map to show the position of the creature. Let me know what you are going to do. Initiative for the next round are as follows:
Bel 23, Fal 16, Harp 17, Cai 13, Ran 13, Creature 13, Salix 12, Alatyr 11

Subject Round 1
Bel, noticing that the arrows don't seem to do much damage to the beast, will cast Shield on himself, and prepare to use his spells to damage the creature.
