Round 6: The party wins initiative.
After the rumble, smoke and flames of the detonating
fireball have died down, you see that both Kherim and Asterion didn't make it. Whereas Asterion is obviously dead - burned beyond recognition - Kherim is possibly still alive. Sol is the only one who is still standing on his feet - although only barely.
OOC: Everyone made the ST, even Asterion, but the fireball caused 59 points of damage (!), which still means 29 for each one. This means that Sol has only 6 hp left and Kherim is down to -2....Incredibly, all three of
Ivid's arrows miss the fiend or bounce off of its leathery hide (
I rolled a 3,5 and 12 - sorry, Rafe).
With his last remaining strength, Soll attacks his terrible opponent. All three blows are hits (DAM 24 in total) but the monster still stands and fights. Then Sol feels relief as some of his wounds close due to
Ahi's healing spell (17 hps healed).
Seeing his trusted henchman fall,
Gaderon desperately reaches for his material components and pulls out a leather glove that he quickly combines with brass knuckles, followed by a complicated spell that he luckily manages to finish. Appearing in midair next to Ahi is now a huge metal gauntlet that immediately starts battering at the fiend. Being somewhat surprised by this sudden appearance, and moreso because its magic resistance is of no help here, the fiend gets a hard punch (for DAM 12) from the fist and staggers backwards, obviously stunned.
Seeing Ahi moving in its direction, the creature in the corner shrieks - and teleports away.....
