Beetle Battle Round 1

The six beetles trade a volley of missile fire with the party. In the confusion, everybody misses, except for poor Fiona who gets caught in the tahini crossfire and pinned down by the sesame-flavored goo.

Dame Simonetta, Wilbur, and Dougal step forward and confidently cut down two of the six beetles in melee combat.

Just like that, there are only 4 beetles left! Their tahini is used up, and they switch to melee combat with their pincers. None of the hobbets have taken any damage. Kiplyn is in position for a backstab on round 2 if he chooses. What next, hobbitses?
Kiplyn hide in shadows 6 success

Missile attacks:
Noh 11 miss
Robur 10 miss
Willie 11 miss
Bilfur 11 miss
Beppo 5 miss
Ginger 8 miss
Douglas 2 miss
Fiona 1 miss

Beetle tahini attack:
vs Beppo 10 miss
vs Wilbur 7 miss
vs Dame Simonetta 5 miss
vs Dougal 1 miss
vs Ginger 4 miss
vs Fiona 13 hit for 0hp damage, save vs paralysis 8 fail, Fiona is stuck

Melee attacks
Wilbur sword 18 hit for 6hp killing a beetle
Dame Simonetta sword 19 hit for 3hp wounding a beetle
Dougal cursed sword 16 hit for 2hp finishing the wounded beetle

If there is opportunity for Noh to cudgel a beetle, he'll take it!
Glad you are feeling better!

Kiplyn will spring out and try his best to back-stab the most likely beetle. (probably be Ringo, right)

If Robur can launch another volley with a sling, he will try. If not, he will fall in with the other, and get his cudgel ready.

(Firing missile weapons into melee is never a good idea, and with Kiplyn coming in from the shadows for a backstab attempt, sorry, the risk of 'friendly fire' is too high.)
