{{Jolly Barbazu group I have not forgotten about you! Your update will be posted within a day.}}<br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">[Lin hide check: 1d20(10)+2 +4(size) = 16]</span><br/>Lin dives under a pile of stacked logs and stays there, too scared even to peek out and watch.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Hisal skids to a halt beside Chrrou, his fangs bared in an open challenge. "Drop that dragon!"<br/><br/>Before he can follow through on this, he hears the stomping of feet from behind: Kahmori and Sashi charging him.<br/><br/>The armored taur swivels, plants his claws, and points his lance directly at the attackers so that they will be forced to skewer themselves with their own momentum...<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"--What?"</span>But, unexpectedly, halfway through his charge the kitsune vanishes into the hazy air.<br/><br/><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">{{invisible and flanking bonuses do not apply to grapple attack}}<br/>[Hisal resist ingest: 1d20(3)+22 +4(large) = 29; fail! Kahmori ingests Hisal]</span><br/>The green taur blinks confusedly. Then he shudders under an impact from above, and a set of piercing wounds appear where unseen fangs penetrate.<br/><br/>A few seconds later, Kahmori emerges like a chesire cat: first disembodied teeth appears in the wounds, then the rest of the kitsune follows. The others can now see that, in an incredible feat of voracity, he has managed to take a large quantity of the taur into his maw.<br/>Whether or not he could get actually this living battle-tank down--and not explode in the process--is an open question.<br/><br/><br/>Hisal scowls at the gall of this lesser vulpine.<span style="font-style: italic">"Eat <span style="font-weight: bold">me?</span> Just who does he think he is?"</span><br/><br/>Then his scowl becomes a grimace. A wave of vertigo and disorientation sweeps over him as he perceives the hostile presence of thoughts that are not his own.<br/><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">[Hisal willpower vs Psychic Crush: 1d20(15)+7+4 = 26, pass; Mindy deals 3d6 points of damage]</span><br/>He forces the intruder out of his mind before she is able to sabotage anything important.<br/><br/><br/>At this point Sashi stomps into the fray, scythe ablaze.<br/><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">[Sashi would normally provoke an AoO from the lance (since its a reach weapon) but Hisal is ingested, and so cannot make one]<br/>[Sashi also takes -2 from being stuffed and -2 from drinking (28 still hits)]</span><br/>Her blow clashes loudly against armored hindquarters.<br/><br/><br/>Meanwhile, a ghostly blue light surrounds Geno as the portion of Hisal's life energy extracted by the kitsune's vampiric bite is transferred over to him. The glow, incidentally, briefly gives him a better view of the inner architecture of Chrrou's maw. It's rather spacious and comfortable, all things considered.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: red">&lt;&lt;Round 2&gt;&gt;</span></span><br/><br/>The leather-clad human lunges to the table, grabs the poisoned dagger laying there, and launches it end-over-end up through the hole in the roof.<br/><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">[Wu dagger throw @ Rihyan: 1d20(6)+6+4(dex)+2(flank)+1(dagger focus) = 19, miss]</span><br/>The spinning blade misses its mark.<br/><br/><br/>Hisal thrashes and rakes the presumptuous fox with finger-sized claws.<br/><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">*[Hisal claw @ Kahmori: 1d20(14) + 21 -4 (grappling) -3 (dexterous tongue) = 28, hit; <span style="font-weight: bold">6 slashing damage</span>]<br/>*[Hisal claw @ Kahmori: 1d20(10) + 21 -4 (grappling) -3 (dexterous tongue) = 24, hit; <span style="font-weight: bold">4 slashing damage</span>]<br/>*[Hisal bite @ Kahmori: 1d20(9) + 16 -4 (grappling) -3 (dexterous tongue) = 18, miss]<br/>*[Hisal rake @ Kahmori: 1d20(11) + 16 -3 (dexterous tongue) = 26, hit; <span style="font-weight: bold">3 slashing damage</span>]<br/>*[Hisal rake @ Kahmori: 1d20(17) + 16 -3 (dexterous tongue) = 32, hit; <span style="font-weight: bold">2 slashing damage</span>]<br/>[DR was applied]</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: brown"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Status]</span><br/>Chrrou: 42/42 hp (100%)    [AC: 21 (+6 dragonhide, +4 natural armor, +2 dex, -1 size]  <span style="font-style: italic">1 constitution damage</span><br/>Geno: 14/100 hp (14%)**      [AC: 25 (+9 breastplate, +4 natural armor, +2 dexterity)] <span style="font-style: italic">(Rage: 5 rounds) (in Chrrou's maw)</span><br/>Kahmori: 17/66 (26%)*       [AC: 31 (+7 chain shirt, +1 dastana, +2 natural armor, +1 deflection, +2 wisdom, +4 dex)<br/>Mindrillia: 52/52 (100%)      [AC: 14 (+2 force armor, +1 deflection, +1 dex)]<br/>Rihyan: 35/43 (81%)          [AC: 22 (+7 celestial chain, +4 natural armor, +6 dex, -1 size, -4 stuffed)]<br/>Sashi: 86/86 (100%)         [AC: 24 (+9 mythril fullplate, +3 natural armor, +3 dex, -1 stuffed)]  <span style="font-style: italic">1 constitution damage</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: olive"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Fullness]</span><br/>Chrrou:     -1<br/>Rihyan:     -8<br/>Sashi:       -2</span><br/><br/><span style="color: blue"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Nutrions]</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Chrrou:</span> +4 spot, +4 hide, +4 confirm melee critical, Cleave<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Geno:</span> Rage (as 1st level <a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/barbarian.htm">barbarian</a> ability; 1/day), +2 climb, +2 hide, breath weapon (6d8 electricity, 60 ft line; 1/day), +1 bite damage, +3 trip, +1 bite damage vs prone, <a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#persuasive">Persuasive</a>, +6 move silently, +2 save vs spells, +4 survival<br/>Rihyan: breath weapon (6d8 cold, 30 ft cone; 1/day)<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sashi:</span> +4 survival, +4 intimidate, +1 melee damage, +2 confirm critical, convert up to 15 points of non-fire non-acid damage to non-lethal damage (1 attack/day)</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Enemy Status]</span><br/>Hisal:    normal<br/>Nurkisi: down<br/>Wu:     *
