Off to the see the (dragon) wizard! (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

Alrighty. To be honest, it doesn't matter much in this case. I insist on that for fairness reasons, as well as because some intelligent and skilled opponents can recognize the gambit for what it is. A t-rex isn't one of those opponents, but still.

You're bit hard, swallowed up to your hips as its teeth hit your upper body as it tries to chew you once, twice, thrice. Yet you refuse to be swallowed, bracing yourself with your arms before throwing yourself back and out. You're coated in dinosaur saliva, but you're also notably uneaten.

Go.

[Corwin]

Jaela strikes with Gae Trocaire, before settling into a stance inviting certain retaliation!

Gambit.

No good. It's like hitting stretchable steel, virtually impossible to get through. As you're knocked back again, Mirima chants and hurls another orb at the beast's body. "Jaela, try and knock it down. Stop the accursed thing from moving!"

> roll 1d20 natural 1 check

> roll 10d6
<Serith> Kokokokokokoko roll for Serith < 34 > [d6=4,6,4,3,1,2,2,4,5,3]

Another orb hits it, this one in the knee and momentarily making its knee buckle. But it stays up and steps back, roaring as it turns, its tail coming to sweep at the both of you.

> roll 1d20+62 vs both of you, tail sweep
<Serith> Kokokokokokoko roll for Serith < 65 > [d20=3]

Area attack so it bypasses mirror image. Unfortunate, but at least it misses you.

> roll 8d8+30
<Serith> Kokokokokokoko roll for Serith < 74 > [d8=8,4,3,7,7,7,6,2]
> roll 1d20+66 vs Mirima's CMD, free trip
<Serith> Kokokokokokoko roll for Serith < 71 > [d20=5]

Jaela ducks under the tail,f lattening herself as more branches and leaves rain down. She can see little bugs scurrying out of the way as she hits the dirt, while she hears Mirima cry out and then the sound of a body hitting the ground.

AoO and then your turn, Jaela. Go.

"Mirima!" Jaela calls out, keeping the beast's attention on herself. "Can you get away?"

[Anastasia]

You stab up, going for the beast's leg. You manage to pierce in twice, blood trickling out reluctantly, slowly. It stops bleeding within seconds, clotting up though not healing. Flames scorch it at the same time, leaving burns on its upper body and head.

Mirima's answer is an incoherent groan, "Get away?" Mirima fires back, "I'm not running away while you do battle against this thing!"

> roll 1d20+35
<Serith> Kokokokokokoko roll for Serith < 40 > [d20=5]

They're both up, Mirima will wait one sec on your reply.

[Corwin]

"Your style works best on skirmishing, and this is a dumb beast! Why should you let it choose the manner of engagement and force you into a melee slog?"

[Anastasia]

"Fine!" Mirima snaps, getting to her feet and throwing another orb, "As soon as I get my balance back."

She got knocked down, so her move goes to standing. Fortunately stepping back put her out of its normal bite reach.

Init is Mirima = T-Rex (27) > Jaela (23)

The orb smacks the tyrannosaurus again, right in the left arm. It's enough to stagger it momentarily as it turns to you, bite going down to swallow you whole again.

Lucky. Make your AoO for gambit..

[Anastasia]

Another sharp thrust impales the tyrannosaurus, his ankle pierced and only bleeding a little before it stops. Nonetheless...

Go.

[Corwin]

Jaela continues her assault, aided by a quickened Divine Favor!

[Anastasia]

No good. You assault it again and again, but you can't pierce through this time. Instead it turns tail and retreats the way it came, retreating from the party.

It can be AoOed if you like, Jaela.

[Corwin]

Of course!

[20:04] <@Rin> roll 1d20+51+3
[20:04] <Rei-chan> Rin rolled : 1d20+51+3 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{72}

[Anastasia]

You score a hit in its heel as it flees, a deep thrust that it ignores as you tear it out, retreating. Mirima dashes forward just a bit, hurling another orb at the fleeing lizard.

> roll 1d20 natural 1 check
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20 natural 1 check --> [ 1d20=1 ]{1}

How she misses it you'll never know. Somehow she does, veering far to the right and hitting a tree instead. The beast is fast - well over 200ft away in a few instants, running full tilt.

Go.

[Corwin]

Running things down is something Jaela is actually good at! But unlike the fleeing beast, she can actually think beyond the immediate battle.

"No need to give chase," she tells Mirima, flying up a bit to get a better vantage point. "How are you doing?"

[Anastasia]

"Healing," Mirima says, "It's hurting less to breathe by the moment."

Free act then.
