His trainers would mock the paladin for his performance today, but it didn't matter to Eldran'tyr.  Even as his blade seemed to catch off the thick, slimy hide, he was able to see from the corner of his eyes that a woman had reached the wounded man, dragging him away.  If nothing else, hopefully that would mean he would receive some form of attention.  Small victory there, he thought, as he coughed once and spat up blood.  Not good.<br/><br/>Of course, as this was happening, the creature was taking more abuse in the form of arrows buried in it's side.  When the orc came at the thing with blades instead of a bow, the monster lashed out, clenching down to drag a meal away with it.<br/><br/>"Not again"  He growled out, using the opening as the slimy creature turned it's attention away, and once more lashed out with his blade, hoping to sink deep, far enough back to not accidentally wound the woman.<br/><br/>It was only after he was dragging the weapon away when he heard the other voices, half turning to catch the word.  "More company."  He growled out in response, looking exhausted already.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Attack Roll 1d20a5 Result: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=96197)<br/>Damage Roll 1d8a3 Result: 9 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=96198)<br/>Number of d20rolls 8 or under in a row: 4 out of 4.<br/></div></div>
