Abylus had just enough time to swig down her mutagen and draw forth the spear she kept on her back just in case. Seems like a good policy now! A wicked gleam burns in her eyes as the alchemical concoction sails down her throat and infuses her body with newfound might. Lean muscle bulks up slightly and toughens to resist blows like the hide of a dangerous predatory creature. She feels her strength grow and her skin pales out a bit while at the same time her canine teeth elongate slightly and her hands warp to become almost like claws. "Drat... still need to work on that." She thinks to herself. Her stray thought almost costs her however as the monster darts next to her and tries to plunge those claws right into her chest! The claws are not able to puncture her in part from her armor, and in part because of her toughened skin and muscles. The creature seems taken aback by this as she laughs at the thing. "You are gonna have to try harder than that if you wanna stab me! Try more like this!" Planting her feet into the ground she strikes out with her spear, piercing the creature with a good deal of her strength. The wretched sun may make her eyesight poor up here, but the thing was unbalanced enough for that not to matter it seems!<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/470365">Attack</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+3</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">23</span><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/470369">Crit Confirmation</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+3</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">6</span><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/470366">Damage</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d8+6</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">8</span><br/>Bah... messed up the crit.
