Delve the 11th

[acodispo]

Wiglaff orders his 3 mercenaries to join the melee if they can, attacking with spears from behind the axe/sword wielders if possible. He himself stays well back.

[merias]

Aldbane orders Yarpera in to attack with his two-handed sword.

[coffee]

Rhod casts his bow aside, draws his sword, and moves into the melee. (Will he be able to grab his shield, too? I totally understand if not.)

[mushgnome]

Franklin draws his sword and joins the melee (if he is able).

[kipper]

Maloof didn't have enough room to use his sling last round? Well, he'll wade in with his mace this round if he can!

Why not! Let's have fun!

Sorry I must have missed your post

The party desperately swarms the beast before it can sting again, but most weapons just slide off its hardened carapace. However, the two skilled fighters, Grampus and Rhod, find a way to cleave through the scorpion's armor, and it collapses to the floor, dead

MECHANICS
Initiative: Party 3, Scorpion 2
Grampus - Sword, rolls 12 - hits for <1d6>+3= 4 damage
Maloof - mace, rolls 6 - miss
Rhod - Sword and shield, rolls 12 - hits for <1d6>= 2 damage, killing it
Franklin - Sword, rolls 7 - miss
Yarpera - 2-handed, rolls 10 - miss
3 mercs with spears, roll 3/6/1 all miss

DM Note: If not for the magic weapons, both Grampus and Rhod would have missed!

"Well done, comrades! Shall we try to harvest the poison from these beasts? or head onward on our chosen path?"

[kipper]

Would Pres on level 1 be interested in buying monster parts? We could stop by on our way out (I think we were planning on leaving after exploring this last corner of level 2???) Otherwise, Maloof isn't interested in the dead scorpion.
