{I'll be completely honest at this point - I set up the two 'Blackscales about to wake up' in the intention that Linda and Aethon would rush out of the forest and eat them whilst they were still helpless. If anyone's disappointed with their character, we can see about changing it, or killing them off and giving you a new one. If you want to try that though I suggest first taking more risks - the worst that can happen is you get a new character. In your specific case AC, we can also look at an expanded vore-related spell-list (e.g, we might import spells from Kitts's 'hunted' game). I won't count Linda as 'acted' in this round just yet, in case you do decide to do something (or, she can act twice next round)}.<br/><br/>Only one of the Bloody Blackscale Skeleton's claws bites into the Girallon's flesh - but, as it does so, a perfectly-aimed crossbow bolt streaks out of the jungle and sinks deep into its flesh. With a groan it attempts to finish swallowing its vast meal, but though its throat bulges and wobbles, the skeletal head outlined within it, it seems to have no luck {rolled a freaking 2, blast it}. With one great fist, it reaches up, siezes the bloody blackscale skeleton's ankle, and<span style="font-style: italic">throws</span>it from its throat. The skeleton smashes against one of the Blackscale huts, prone. The Girallon reaches down with one of its lower arms, siezes the blackscale corpse it's standing over, and, towing the body behind it, lumbers towards the jungle, gaining the cover of the treeline in mere moments. {Though you can still attack it or approach it. PS, this isn't me saving you - the 'tactics' in the module state it flees after that many HP are lost. Plus... Aethon's thing nearly worked. And if you hadn't gone straight for the fire - though its fine that you did - you might've calmed it with ordinary 'handle animal' checks}.<br/><br/>Another Blackscale (BS4) - also female, sits up, rubbing her head, clearly dazed.<br/><br/>Damage: PD2 6, PD4 6, Jules 18 + 6 acid (less resistance, whatever value), Girallon 50, Female Blackscale 1: 22, Blackscale Skeleton 36<br/>Digestion Status: Jules (in BS1's stomach), PD4 (in Gwahir's stomach), Bloody Blackscale Skeleton (prone, by hut)<br/>Acted Round Five: FBS1 (digesting jules), PD2 (hiding), PD4 (begin digested by Gwahir), Alizome, Jules, Linda's et al, Girallon, BS4<br/>Still to act round five: Aethon & Gwahir, Linda, BS3<br/><br/>Edit: Either way, you still get XP for defeating the Girallon, you don't have to kill it in that regard
