Wilbur doesn't do clever; he just keeps on fighting.

Beetle Battle Round 2

The combat devolves into a melee free-for-all.

Fiona is out of the fight, trapped in tahini.

Noh, Dame Simonetta, Wilbur, Beppo, Bilfur, Douglas, Ginger, and Willie all miss.

Robur and Dougal each kill a beetle.

Kiplyn's backstab is successful, and he kills a beetle.

The sixth and final beetle takes a big chunk out of Dame Simonetta!

The last beetle is on the ropes. You got this! But be careful--Dame Simonetta, Bilfur, Noh, and Beppo are only a single hit away from death. Any modifications to your strategy for what should be the decisive Round 3?
Melee initiative, party wins 6-1
Fiona = stuck
Noh 13
Dame Simonetta 6
Wilbur 5
Beppo 10
Bilfur 7
Douglas 7
Ginger 2
Willie 12
Kiplyn backstab 13 hit for 7hp killing a beetle
Robur 18 hit for 4hp killing a beetle
Dougal 17 hit for 6hp killing a beetle

1 beetle remains; morale 2d6=10
bite vs Dame Simonetta 18 hit for 5hp dropping her to 2/12hp!

A 13 didn't hit, I'm just realizing! Krikey!!
Noh, acting braver than he feels, flicks his shoulder for Carc to fly up out of the way (just in case) and attacks again, "these things must have an interesting internal anatomy," the druid says before bringing down the cudgel!

PS: Noh is ALWAYS one hit from dead ;)

OOC: That is correct: Kiplyn's 13 only hit because he has 4th level thac0 (and that 13 is including the +4 backstab bonus). Tahini beetles are soft and sesame on the inside, but with a crunchy shell on the outside!

Kiplyn will look for an opening on the remaining Beetle (we call him Paul).
It's good to be a hero ;P

If Robur can get in there with his Hobbit stiletto, why he'll stiletto that thing! How dare it hurt his friends!

It's been a hard day's night, but Dame Simonetta won't let it be, she continues to help!
