Kuori: HP 29/38
Hakka: HP 30/42
Thava: HP 36/43
Revenge: HP 40/47,

The tendrils from Gloom's mace lash out furiously at Razorclaw, gouging his flesh. The monster roars and moves up to the party. The creature lashes outs with an innumerable amount of claws at all those adjacent to him. Thava and Gloom are missed but Kuori gets caught on the arm and given a nasty gash (9 damage). Razorclaw then is burned by a holy light for not listening to the Paladin's words.

Kuori: HP 29/38, 4DR
Hakka: HP 30/42
Thava: HP 36/43
Revenge: HP 40/47,

Razorclaw lashes out at Kuroi as she fires her bow but his lethargic attack misses her. However, it must have been distracting to the goliath as both her shots miss the creature as well.

Your up!

Enthused by her last strike making the creature reel, Hakka hurls her shuriken again, (15 vs AC) but clearly she was too excited and her shot went wide. So, to keep out of danger she ducked behind the cave wall (T22) and hid (CRIT! 34 Stealth).

Thava Swings her blade in an attempt temporary disable the creature(15 vs AC) but the blow glances off Razorclaw's hide. Frustrated, the dragonborn shifts back one square(V22) and contemplates her next move.

40/47 hp, Razorclaw marked

(At work with only a couple minutes to spare, so this'll be less flavorful than normal...)

MOVE ACTION

Revenge shifts into the spot the stinky stinky Dragonborn vacated.

MINOR ACTION

Revenge sheaths his dagger! Yay for retcons!

STANDARD ACTION

Revenge then skewers the Razorclaw like a boss.

Quote:

Enfeebling Strike, 26 vs AC, 12 damage, and since the target is marked, it takes an additional -2 to attack rolls until the end of my next turn.

 

[Kowsauni]

Initiative order

Gloom: HP 34/41
Razorclaw 156 damage, Marked, -4 to attack
Kuori: HP 29/38, 4DR
Hakka: HP 30/42
Thava: HP 36/43
Revenge: HP 40/47,

Revenge does indeed skewer Razorclaw as his halberd pierces deep into the monster's chest. A dark ichor like substance bleeds from the wound and a nearby claws seems to get less active, yet the creature still seems to retain much of his strength.

Your up!

Gloom lashes out with his flail, thank the gods for reach weapons.

Second and last use of spirit flay.
8+9=17 to attack vs Reflex, if it hits the target is dazed and takes 14 dmg.

MEANING NO OPPORTUNITY ATTACKS AND EVERYONE GETS ADVANTAGE (+2)  

[Kowsauni]

Initiative order

Gloom: HP 27/41 Prone
Razorclaw 156 damage, Marked, -4 to attack
Kuori: HP 34/38, 4DR
Hakka: HP 30/42
Thava: HP 25/43
Revenge: HP 18/47 Prone

Razorclaw dodges Gloom's attack and, with a furious growl, once again charges through the clustered adventurers. Kuori and Thava manage to get out of the way but both Gloom and Revenge are hit, knocked to the ground, and skewered. (Gloom 7 damage, Revenge 12 Damage) As Razorclaw does this he feels the bite of something unholy in his mind as his attack triggers Gloom's Curse forged armor.

After plowing through the adventurers Razorclaw turns around and (action point) lashes out with his claws at all those adjacent to him. Even while prone, Gloom manages to dodge the attack but both Thava and Revenge receive nasty gashes from the claws. (Thava 11 damage, revenge 10 damage)

Now that he has moved into view, Hakka notices that Razorclaw has taken notice of her position behind the outcropping, .

((Razorclaw is currently standing at V25,V26, U25, U26. Will have my wife update the map when she gets home.))

PupSage

Your up! I realized I forgot to factor in your Stone's Endurance when you were hit last turn so I have refunded you those 5 hit points.

 

[PupSage]

Seeing an opportunity now that Razorclaw had came back into the den, Kuori shouted "Fan out around it. Get its flanks." She began to take her own advice, squeezing past Thava and moving to square Q25. With most of her special arrows expended Kuori fired another twin shot.
23 vs ac for 17 dmg
13 vs ac = miss

Razorclaw's Den

Initiative order

Gloom: HP 20/41 Bloodied Prone
Razorclaw Bloodied180 damage, Marked, -4 to attack
Kuori: HP 29/38, 4DR
Hakka: HP 30/42
Thava: HP 25/43
Razorclaw Bloodied180 damage, Marked, -4 to attack
Revenge: HP 6/47 Bloodied Prone

One of Kuori's arrows pierces deep into Razorclaw's neck causing a gush of blood. The creature lashes out at the goliath in anger as she moves by, clipping her with a claw, but Kuori manages to brush off most of the blow (5 damage). As Razlorclaw strikes the goliath, he once again feels the holy burn of righteousness from the paladin's challenge. Razorclaw shrieks as the scorching light leaves the creature looking a bit burnt.

Cut, singed, and bleeding from all over his body, a crazed look enters Razorclaw's beady little red eyes. His body begins to writhe. His movements become quicker and more twitchy and a perceivable shift has come over the creature . Before he was fighting out of anger, now he was fighting for survival. (Razorclaw is bloodied and gains another initiative!)

(bloodied intimidate reaction)
With a mighty roar Razorclaw charges down over Thava, missing the dragonborn but once again striking the Paladin(crit 12 damage) and hexblade (7 damage). Razorclaw then moves up to charge over Hakka and Kuori who both expertly dodge out of his way. Razorclaw then comes to rest between the two women.

Ryssa Blackblood

You're up!

Startled by the sudden appearance of the beast in front of her, Hakka's predatory instincts take over. She shifts one square over into flanking (T24) and then lashes out with her shortsword (26 vs AC, 19 Damage). Then as a minor action, she reverts back into her tiny little fox form and sprints away to relative safety (Action point, U33)

(I doubt it is the case, but as always, if it brings the creature to 10 health or less, it dies)  

[Kowsauni]

Razorclaw's Den

Initiative order

Gloom: HP 20/41 Bloodied, Prone
Razorclaw Bloodied,210 damage, Marked, -4 to attack
Kuori: HP 29/38, 4DR
Hakka: HP 30/42
Thava: HP 16/43 Bloodied
Razorclaw Bloodied, 210 damage, Marked, -4 to attack
Revenge: HP 23/47 Bloodied, Prone, +1 defenses

Razorclaw slashes at Hakka as she runs away, but misses the nimble fox with his attack.

Thava then sends a powerful surge of emotion towards Revenge, revitalizing the wounded paladin (+17HP). The dragonborn moves up closer (T25) and slashes at Razorclaw with her sword (nat 1 crying +2 THP) but only lands a glancing blow (half damage: 11) However there was more to her attack than a simple swing of her sword. After he was struck, Razorclaw's stance seemed to loosen up, leaving him open for counter attacks.

Kowsauni

Effect: The target is affected by your suggestion (save ends). Until the suggestion ends, whenever the target makes an attack, one ally adjacent to the target can make a melee basic attack against it as a free action after the target’s attack is resolved.

Razorclaw lashes out with his claws at both Kuori and Thava, giving the dragonborn a nasty cut (11 damage). As he rakes Thava with his claws, the creature undulates around the goliath to improve his position (shifts 3). His stance also tightens up, closing the opening he once left in his defenses (saves from suggestion).

PupSage

Due to suggestion, you may make a melee basic attack against Razorclaw, using your bow as an improvised weapon (1d4 + strength)

Rain Yupa

You're up! You also have +1 to your defenses 'til the end of Thava's next turn.
