Um… normally Tubz would flee for ten rounds, but I think that’s unreasonable, so let’s do just two rounds. I… chose to destroy the other skeletons (although the roll does call for that effect). As the level of dangers the group encounters increases, they were really just going to rather slow things down, and you have the supercool Tubzbie now, so it’s fine, right? Besides… I’m struggling a bit with so many creatures on the board…</div></div></div><br/><br/>“Bag!” Dura shouts at her guardswoman, stretching out one hand, the other fumbling at her belt...<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Linda</span><br/><br/>Meanwhile, Linda herself lunges for the pretty, tasty-looking mace wielding guard, clad in little more than a few greaves of armor and strings of enchanted silk. Ducking inside the woman’s guard, as she lashes wildly at Alizome, Linda’s tail curls around her legs, and her hands catch the woman’s strong arms. The sheen of sweat on her body only adds a tantalising, musky aroma to the mix…<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Laryn/Dusk/Ambusher Two</span><br/><br/>With a few swift and powerful gulps and a short shriek of terror, Laryn’s beautiful body vanishes down Dusk’s eager throat, her voluptuous curves appreciated only for their flavour, and not at all their obvious sexuality. From within, she punches and kicks powerfully at Dusk’s interior, causing it to bulge mightily as she does so… [Dusk takes 2 damage, Dusk’s tum takes 1 damage - tum has one third of dusk’s HP, and dusk must release her meal once stomach has taken that much damage.]<br/><br/>The sword-and-chain ambusher’s eyes widen in fear, as Dusk casually devours her comrade… but she’s brave enough to try continue the fight, slashing at Dusk’s body, and yanking the chain tight about Dusk’s neck… but clearly, she’d rather run, and her halfheartedness shows in the ineffectiveness of her attacks…<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Alizome/Axe-wielding-guard</span><br/><br/>“Ahhh-” the guard says happily, as Alizome trips practically right down her throat “-rrgh,” she shrieks, as Synys’s spell swells the elf to almost twice her previous size, leaving her facing a meal larger than she’s ever faced before, and one quite likely to turn the tables on her to boot…<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Synys, swordwielding ambusher</span><br/><br/>The swordwielding ambusher finds her feet, and charges directly at Synys, drawn by the obvious power of the mage’s spell, and the danger they represent… [2 damage, assuming 16 hits(?)... probably it doesn’t though].<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Jules, tiny swordswoman</span><br/><br/>The last swordswoman shrieks, as the skeleton attacks her… but as it crumbles into dust she turns her attention back to Jules, lunging forward, blade en-point… [6 damage assuming 18 hits]<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Status</span><br/>Current Round: First<br/>Still to act first round: Jules, Aethon<br/>Acted first round: Laryn, Dura, Linda and her merry men, Xarces, Alizome, Dura’s guards, Sword-and-chain ambusher, Dusk, Synys<br/>Short-swordwielder [ambusher-three]: 12 HP lost<br/>Mace-wielding guard [guard-one]: Grappled by Linda<br/>Laryn [ambusher-one]: 14 HP lost, swallowed by Dusk<br/>Dusk: 6 HP lost, 1 Stomach HP lost<br/>Jules: 10 HP lost<br/>Linda: 5 HP lost<br/>Tubz: Undamaged, fleeing (2 rounds remaining)<br/>Skeletons: Destroyed.<br/>Dura: 48 HP lost (ouch!)...<br/>Dura’s Axewielding Guard has ‘disarmed’ Alizome of her pack, containing the Sceptre (I assume the amulet was small enough to conceal about Alizome’s person, and that she would’ve done so).
