Beetles! Beetles!
Initiative Order: Kol & Beetles (1), Raz & Vesper (3), Mag & Moan (4), Mag (5)
Blood squirting out of the hole in her leg,
Kol growls out some barbaric war cry and jabs at the beetle before her, doing damage, but not enough to kill it!
Kol attack: [1d20+1]=17+1=18 [1d10+3]=2+3=5
The beetles attack her, but she fends them off this round, limping backward, kicking dirt at them.
Beetles attack: [1d20]=11 [1d20]=11 [2d4]=6 [2d4]=8
Two beetles attack
Raz, but he is able to dodge and jump out of reach of their snapping mandibles. He attacks back, but swings wildly, hitting nothing but air.
Beetles attack: [1d20]=10 [1d20]=11 [2d4]=5 [2d4]=2
Vesper is also able to fend off the beetles attacking her, and then kills the one she wounded a few seconds earlier with a slash to its head!
Beetles attack: [1d20]=3 [1d20]=5 [2d4]=5 [2d4]=3
Starkad isn't so fortunate, as his lone adversary ignores his attack, and bites deep into the druid's thigh! Blood spurts and Starkad jerks backward, limping badly.
Beetle attack: [1d20]=20 [2d4]=6 (Per our house rule, a critical hit does max damage, which in this case is 8 pts.)
Moan and
Mag join the fray, one helping out Kol, the other Vesper. The ranger slashes at one of the beetles near Kol, but is unable to damage it. Mag charges toward Vesper and drives his sword into the side of the remaining beetle attacking her! The beetle doesn't fall over dead, but it does run around in a circle, hissing loudly.
