[ OOC: The 20 just barely misses, thanks to the bonus from Improved Grapple.  The new spells are interesting, Vorportation in particular, although it might be a little potent for a 3rd level spell.  On the subject of nonfatal encounters, I've mainly been playing Aethon as a relatively straight pred in the sense that things like that had never really occurred to him; he doesn't know what someone with Alizome's skillset can do simply because he's never experienced it before.  Of course, all it takes is one good experience to change someone's mind about something...<img alt=":wink:" src="./images/smilies/wink.gif" title="Wink"/>]<br/><br/>Growling in frustration as both he and now Dusk continue to have difficulties getting the shawled mermaid to sit still long enough for either of them to deal with her, he at least has to give her credit for being a capable defensive fighter.  Taking a quick look around and seeing the other mermaids either held by Synys' spell or far off, he redoubles his efforts to end this last part of the fight.  His body suddenly explodes in size, and he continues to bite, hoping to catch the mermaid off-guard now that Dusk has joined in.<br/><br/>[ Activating Enlarge domain ability and continuing with the biting. ]<br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/221732">Bite attack</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+13</span><span style="font-weight: bold">30</span>]<br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/221733">Bite damage</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">2d6+6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">13</span>]<br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/221734">Improved Chomp grapple</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+12</span><span style="font-weight: bold">14</span>]
