With one of the fineel down, but the other one only damage by her previous bolt, Lythia seeks to continue her surprisingly successful use of the crossbow, but whilst her shot is on target, the creature’s thick hide catches the bolt, and it seems no damage was inflicted. For a moment the shafts hands there buried half an inch deep, wobbling as the fineel shifts, then it falls into the churning marsh water at its feet, the tip perhaps marked with the faintest trace of blood.<br/><br/>Anjie charges into melee with the creature, swinging her hand axe in an arc that ends in the korija’s leg. The blow is solid, and the wound spurts blood, but it still stands, growling in defiance, barely turning its head to acknowledge the half-orc. Knowing she has little chance of contributing now, but refusing to give up, Lady Murn wrenches her spear free and turns to jab at the brute, but it pushes her spear tip aside.<br/><br/>As Lythia recalled, the creature does not panic, if anything this new danger it faces brushes aside the fear it felt and focuses its murderous intent on Lady Murn. It knows it is going to die, it must, but it will try to take at least one villager with it. Its brings the tree stump down hard on the former adventuer’s shoulder, no doubt breaking it and sending her sprawling, but she will survive. Then Eldran'tyr charges in and inflicts a deep cut on its arm, causing the korija to snarl angrily at the crowled knight.<br/><br/>OOC - Combat map updated: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1ae7_cnckVp1sq4WZMd5xmZte4oXd626Trkuc3eJQ5og/edit<br/><br/>Lythia - 20 - Uninjured<br/>Anjie - 17 - Moderately injured<br/>Lady Murn - 14 – Seriously injured, exhausted III, prone<br/>Korija (great club) - 13.5 - Seriously injured<br/>Eldran'tyr - 13 - Seriously injured
