OOC: Okay, how much Str damage do I still have... 4 Str dmg, 3 Dex dmg, 3 Con dmg. Well, suppose I should be thankful you aren't throwing negative levels at me... *grins*<br/><br/><em>Struggle as she may, though, the paladin, weakened by the earlier scream of the dread corruption that had plagued the forest, cannot break free of the skilled hold the quick serpent has on her, which only serves to surprise Michelle. After all, she had anticipated that her enemy, as a spellcaster, would seek to disengage and unleash fiery destruction from afar... but then, considering the nature of Snapdragon's other guardians, perhaps such an assumption was most unwise, for, strain as she may, her strength is no match for the scaled one's hold.</em><br/><br/>OOC: Grapple check result 54, grapple check result during Michelle's turn to break free: 63.
