Landshark round 2
Subject Round 2 actions
OOC: Allright. I guess my best bet is to fly then. I think I'll try and get 40' or so above the LS, then drop spells on him. I'm thinking I'll try a web spell, and then a fireball. Unless you guys try and flank him immediately.
Allistair is thankful that the warriors in the party immediately move forward, placing themselves between the monster and himself. However in this case, Allistair needs a better point of view to use his last fireball without endangering his friends, and with this monster rooted to the ground he can actually be more maneuverable than anyone else, because he has access to movement in a 3rd dimension. He reaches into his robe to access one of his many small pockets, and pulls out a white feather. He casts the spell that gives him the power of flight.

Salix, of course, will actually call down a lightning bolt this round.
Hopefully the air will be filled with the smell of fried landshark.

Subject Soup
I hear landshark fin soup is actually very tasty.
Mund looks forward to finding out.

Subject Out of town
I'm leaving town for the weekend. We're going to Oklahoma for a few days to *not* attend my high school 10-year reunion. (i.e. a lot of my friends I haven't seen in years are coming into town and I want to see them, but I have no desire to actually attend any of the reunion activities, which will be several hours of the popular/rich crowd congratulating themselves on how wonderful they are.) Anyway, I've asked Porter to take care of Allistair in the meantime.

Ragnar mumbles that Heironeous would never have problems blinding such a monstrosity if he only had more faithful servants with which to work. "Forgive my lack of faith, and protect me as I go forth myself to do thy will" he prays. (Shield of Faith on self, then move up into the space down and right from where Kal shows up on the map; its not threatened, so the Landshark will still have to move up to attack Mund, Harp or myself.)

Ranthir, seeing that Salix is still in the process of working some power, will move to put himself between Salix and the Landshark, staying just out of reach of the enemy.

Subject Round 2 results
Initiative:Surin, Mund, Ran, Ragnar, Salix, Allistair, Landshark, Kal, Harp.
Surin watches his sling bullet bounce off the heavily armored skin of the creature. Damn, it was always like that. Halflings were great as sneaking up and putting the hurt where it counted the most, but when the big guys started having fun, his little pig sticker just could not do the damage. Well, he would have to try something different. Sliding one of the small vials out of the pouch at his waist, he drinks the elixir down. It feels like he just swallowed some of his aunt Petunia's championship chili. He moves up the side of the fray, looking for a spot to make an attack.
Mund decides to wait and see if the creature will continue its attack when it is obviously outnumbered. He shouts a curse in Orcish at the beast and is surprised when the creature does not understand him. Looking at the elf next to him he says "You might want to let the big boys take this on. That beast is liable to swallow you in one bite, and all you got is that needle." (Delay Action, wait on landshark)
Glancing around, Ran sees Salix still concentrating on his prayer. He also sees Harp starting to move down the right flank of the beast. He takes a few steps forward and to the left, to place himself next to Mund, ahead of Salix and into a position to flank the creature with Harp in the coming minutes of battle.
Ragnar blames himself for the prayers lack of effect. His ears burning at the curse that Mund had just shouted, Ragnar draws his longsword, readies his shield and tromps forward, hoping the beast does not just stomp him into the ground.
Salix finishes his prayer and the weather changes abruptly. Hairs start to stand up on peoples arms and dust swirls around. Salix points at the back of the beast and a stroke of lightening streaks from the sky, striking at the creature. The bolt hits the fin and power flows around the beast. (DC16, 11+8=19, save, 1/2 damage, 4 damage.) The beast hardly notices it.
Allistair sees that it is getting crowded around the beast and decides to get a better view of the area. Taking out the small feather from his component pouch, he chants the spell, touches himself with the feather and starts to float. He raises 20 feet in to the air and now has a great view of the battle field.
The beast rages forward, just as Mund had hoped it would do. When it gets with in reach of his axe, he takes a mighty swing. (AC22, 11+12=23, hit, damage 7) His axe slices along the nose of the shark and leaves a bleeding trail. Mund howls at the site of the blood. "It bleeds and so we can kill it. ATTACK" he screams.
The landshark in return bites at Mund and crunches the man in his jaws. (AC20, 11+16=27, hit, damage 14). Mund's breast plate takes most of the damage, but there are raged tooth marks all along the bright armor.
The sudden movement of the shark places Kal right in front of it. For some reason the beast ignores Kal. He decides to back away and give himself some space in which to cast his spell. He moves carefully away from the creature.(Withdraw move)
Watching out for the stumpy legs, Harp moves in closer to the creature, ready to attack with all his might when the opportunity presents itself.
OODM: Ok that is the end of round 2. I have attached a map of every ones locations. Allistair is 20 feet in the air. I need actions for round 3.

Ragnar grins tightly to himself. The foul-mouthed barbarian had the right idea; let the beast come to him. He had petitioned, and Heironeous had answered. Now it was up to him and his new comrades to do his master's work. And the brute had conveniently brought itself in to close range. Bellowing a warcry common to his order, he steps forward and slashes the landshark with all his might.
/ooc Ragnar will step next to the bulette and next to Harp as well, to see if he can benefit from some sort of flanking bonus. It shouldn't be able to get to Surin anyways without bowling over us (which I'm sure it could do!)
From: Jason
Subject Mund and Ragnar
I'm not sure if he is just RPing Mund well or if he hasn't noticed my character sheet, but I don't think that Mund realizes that Ragnar speaks Orcish. I'm planning on surprising him with that later. If I get to surprise the player too, that's just a bonus :)

Harp will attack (utilizing his flanking benefit from Ran if that is still the case by my turn).
Not much else to wrrite except I wonder if Harp likes grilled shark.

Subject LS facing
What direction is the LS facing? Directly towards Mund?
