Moments passed as the group prepared, the seconds passing as the slow steps drew closer little by little. Finally, the green-skin creature stepped from the passageway, turning its head to the side casting a sharp look down the hallway with folks standing at ready. Seeing the group at ready, the creature let out a bellowing roar in anger, the predatory teeth cracked and yellow, the foul stench it bellowed reminding of rotting meat, and that was the least unpleasant of smells.<br/><br/>Raising its club, the creature growled and turned with apparent intent to crush those who had been foolish enough to remain the front line, the club raised to threaten and a snarl emerging from the creature's throat, a look of uther loathing all the intellect that could be divined from the creature's motivations with a quick glance. The one good thing seemed to be its overpowering odor, beady small eyes and probably quite wax-filled ears left it with a bad sight and hearing.<br/><br/>Either way, it didn't seem to notice Tha'ael's figure hiding nearby as it tried to push forth towards the waiting warriors. The club rose, and with a harsh swing rushed forth to hit Analise's side with enough force it should have crushed a lesser woman between the club and the side wall. The growling creature raised its large weapon again after the swing, seeming annoyed to not have killed the woman in one blow, though seeming intent to hammer its point in, through her ribs if necessary.<br/><br/>Elise's arrow caught the creature's face at that moment, earning her a howl of rage as the monster let go of the club with one hand to snap the arrow and leave one end sticking out of its cheek, snarling angrily.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">After the group waited for the creature to step forth, it took upon itself to immediately attack on stepping into view, attacking and hitting Analise successfully, inflicting 17 damage with a single club strike.<br/><br/>Muse's post left me believing that Analise is about to attack the moment the creature steps before her, beyond that Elise's shot did harm it.</div></div>
