OOC: Sorry, I've been a little distracted. I went to a funeral today. It was for my mom's uncle.

Subject Fight round 2

Initiative for the next round are as follows:Bel 23, Harp 17, Fal 16 Cai 13, Ran 13, Creature 13, Salix 12, Alatyr 11

In the moonlight Bel sees Ran connect with his sword but do almost nothing to the creature. Deciding that magic may be of more use in this fight Bel drops his bow. Focusing his mind, he chants the incantation he uses to create his mystic shield. A few seconds later a shimmering wall of force appears at his side.(Casts shield, Spell failure roll 31, spell works, AC +4)

Harp turns at the noise behind him and sees the huge creature leap over Ran and Cai and land just in front of the two least protected people in the party. ?Damn,? he thinks to himself. It was his job to protect those weaker than himself. Remembering the reach of the ogres Harp moves himself to a place between where the creature is standing and Salix and Fal. Once there he starts chanting a prayer to his god, asking for a blessing on the party during the coming fight.(Cast Bless on party)

Fal looks up and realizes that there is a 9 foot tall beast in front of it. The thing looks like a cross between a deformed bear and a weird sort of wolf. Deciding that a few more feet between him and the creature would be prudent he backs up and to the side several feet. When he gets there he recites the spell he has memorized and two bright bolts of energy leap from his finger tips and strike the creature in the chest.(Magic Missile, Damage 2)

Ran also sees that there is no one between the creature and the wizard and druid. Knowing that he is better protected and better equipped to deal with whatever this creature is, he charges into the back of the thing. As he charges the creature whips around with one claw(AOO, AC18, 11+14=25, hit, Damage, 14.) The claw scrapes its way down the front of Ran armor, gouging a long furrow in the chain links. Even through the armor Ran can feel the pain of the razor sharp claw. Ran is then next to the beast and takes a swing at the hamstring on one of its legs.(AC17, 17+9=26, hit,Damage 1) Again he feels his sword hit home but do almost no damage.

Cai sees Ran charging the beast and figures that people will be too close for bow work, so she drops her bow and draws her sword as she also charges. As she closes and swings at the beasts with both hands on her sword. It dances out of the way and her swing goes wide..(AC17, 4+10=14, miss).

The beast, fully facing the two opponents behind it, takes a swipe at both Ran and Cai, (AC 18, 1+14=15, miss, AC 17, 6+14,hit, Damage 10) and then takes a bite at Cai.(AC17,8+4=12 miss). Its claws rake across the her chest, knocking the breath from her.

Salix also starts to back away from the beast. He is fascinated by the creature. With a start, he glances at the sky to confirm his suspicions. (Knowledge Check, nature, DC15, 11+7=18, success.) He shouts to the group ?It is a werewolf of some sort. Only silver weapons do full damage.?

Alatyr, not wanting to miss the fight, runs at full speed to close with the creature. Threading his way between Fal and Salix he is just able to get next to the beast so as to be in position to attack.

OODM: OK I need actions for round 3. So far it is WW 25 and party 5. Map attached with positions.

Subject Fight round 3

Harp sees Cai and Ran get sliced by the creatures claws. Hearing Salix's shout, he is unsure what a werewolf is, having only heard of them in passing during his training. Damn, he says to himself, I should have paid better attention to my studies. Upon hearing that only silver weapons wil do full damage, he decides that since he has no silver weapons, he might as well try to do what damage he can. He takes a full swing at the werewolf with his longsword, hoping that the fact that the creature has its back turned to him and is facing Cai and Ran will distract it enough that Harp will be able to get in a good blow (flanked opponent). Harp moves in closer to the beast and swings away.

Subject Fight round 3

Cai is nearly beside herself with frustration and pain; she has failed to significantly damage her opponent, and has been wounded herself. Worse, now that Salix has identified its weakness, she is still unable exploit that knowledge because she is not sufficiently prepared. Gritting her teeth against the pain in her chest, she pays more attention to her task at hand, and swings at the werewolf with all her strength. (Attacking with longsword two handed again, flanking him with Harp if that's reasonable from where she is.)
