Middex Armory, Hallway outside Command Center, Klos 4th, 350AC, 14:05

Ghool 1 shimmys up and wraps his arms around Arvak’s legs (11): 80 2 = green hold.  Bites (11): 90 7 = orange.  His teeth sink into flesh (alas, not the leg with scale armor!) BD 1 x 4 = 4 points of damage, plus exposure to infection again.  The creature glows green (seen between the joints of its sheath armor) and heat washes over everyone (X): 80 1 = orange.  Burns Arvak for BD 2 x 4 = 8 points of burn damage.  Arvak down to 51 hp.

Ghool 2 lowers its arm and tries to grab (1-3 Phallon, 4-6 Ragnor: 5) Ragnor.  (11 – 1 RF for lack of arm): 40 6 = white.  Bites (11): 30 7 = white.

Arvak brings his hammer about (18 – 2CS hold = 16): 1 7 = white.  He tries to step back to give himself room for the hammer blow, becomes unbalanced by the clinging ghool, and misses.  (CLANG!!)

Phallon fires his shotgun (9): 80 1 = green.  The blast tears through the desert camo uniform, spraying out flesh and goo.  Unfortunately, the blast doesn’t seem to affect the ghool much at all.

Ragnor brings his ax down (17): 90 4 = orange.  BD of 14.  The blow cleaves through the ghoolz skull, sticking into it.  The ghool twitches violently a few times, then drops into a heap.  Ragnor easily pulls his ax free (his massive strength lifts the dead ghool into the air for a moment before it splats back to the floor).

Initiative

• Phallon 7 + 2 = 9
• Ragnor 6 + 2 = 8
• Arvak 5 + 1 = 6
• Ghool 6 – 1 = 5
