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

Re: The Ninth Adventure
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?

Re: The Ninth Adventure
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!

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

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