Still upon the damaged wall Dorgan, Dieter, and Josiane over look the dramatic scene unfolding on the ground below them. Everyone else looks on from their respective positions in the orchard:
Torben scurries clear of the dust and rubble but Olaf, Beringar, and Wen charge in to attack the smoldering giant as it rises up from the rubble once more!
Alas! Beringar stumbles over a rock at the last moment and only succeeds in making himself a target. Wen is close behind, however, and pierces the great fiend with his sword, cutting into the bulk of its huge thigh as it rises up, freeing a gout of steam and ink-black tar. Olaf seems intent on restraining it with a grappling hook and rope, but cannot do any real harm before the hulking thing is on its feet again and throws a pile-driver fist back in return, leaning all its considerable weight on an earth-shaking blow that smashes rock and raises dust. Olaf is fortunate indeed to have jumped back at the last possible moment!

Beringar was nearest to the monster and never lost his footing, so he can attack first, followed by Wen who was a bit further back. Olaf and the Fiend were both prone at the start of the turn, so will dice for initiative:
1d6; Olaf=6, Fiend=6, so simultaneous attacks.
Beringar 1d20=1! An awful miss that leaves him exposed as a prime target.
Wen 1d20=18 a hit. 1d6=5 5 points of damage. That will get it's attention for sure!
Olaf 1d20=12 a miss.
Now the Fiend is engaged in melee it can either fight in heroic combat or use its gaze attack. The referee uses the dragon rule, which specifies that a dragon will use its breath weapon on a 2d6 roll of 7-12. 2d6=6, so the Fiend will attack in combat.
Now the fiend can either attack Wen and Beringar as normals, or Olaf as a hero. Let us say 1-4=Wen and Beringar, 5-6=Olaf; 1d6=5, so it's Olaf.
Fiend 1d20=10 misses AC4. |
Meanwhile, those who sought to look beyond the wall and into the courtyard see that the foul mist there is, perhaps, somewhat thinner now, but there is no sign of any activity within. There is no sign of Gustave, nor anyone else.
