Almaric’s Tale - Fighting the Black Centipedes - Round 2
[/OOC Initiatives: Almaric rolls (5+1)=6, Centipede #1 (17), Centipede #2 (12) and Centipede #3 (14)]
The three large insects continue their attacks on Almaric.
[/OOC Centipede #1 bites at Almaric, rolls (19) - Almaric’s AC(7) = 12. HIT!
Damage = 1 HP but now Almaric must make a save against the effect of the black venom.
Almaric needs a 14+ to save vs. Poison, he rolls (10) + 1(CON bonus) + 4(the venom is not a strong one) = 15. SUCCESS!
Centipede #3 attacks next, rolls (14) - Almaric’s AC(7) = 7. MISS
Finally, centipede #2 attacks, rolls (7) - Almaric’s AC(7) = 0. MISS]
Almaric wards off two of the three creatures, but one of them finds a way though his defences and manages a small bite on his leg. The wound is minor but he feels a momentary wave of cramps ripple through his muscles, he has no idea what could have happened if the venom were stronger but he suspects he doesn’t want to find out the hard way.
He realises that attacking the centipedes currently crawling on him without injuring himself is going to be awkward but it has to be done. Snapping his attention back to the creature that just bit him, Almaric swings his blade at it…
[/OOC Almaric attacks centipede #1. Needs an 8+, rolls (16) - **(centipede AC) = HIT!
Damage from longsword, (5) + STR mod.(2) + Fighter mod.(1) = 8 HP. KILLSHOT!]
…which reduces it to an exploded mess of red and black goo.
[/OOC Both the remaining centipedes are within range of his CLEAVE attack.
Cleaving sword swing at (random choice) centipede #2. Needs an 8+, rolls (10) - ** (centipede AC) = HIT!
Damage from longsword, (3) + STR mod.(2) + Fighter mod. (1) = 6 HP. DOUBLE-KILLSHOT!!]
His blade continues onwards and with well-honed reflexes, he finds another of the wriggling menaces. This one too is obliterated in a spray of ichor.
As it stands:
Almaric has lost 1 HP (now down to 8 HP)
Currently engaged in combat with 1 uninjured centipede.
