Alton steels himself and attempts to bring his Shillelagh down onto the head of the creature.

Attack: 20 Damage: 10

Alton's Shillelagh smashes right into one of the creature's eyes.  The eye disappears and reappears on the other side of its...face, but the eye is bloody and oozing.  The creature still has Enid in its claw but it turns it's attention to Alton!

“I’ve wrestled badgers shiftier than you!” Recalling everything she learned from those matches, Enid attempts to wrestle herself free again. 

Athletics: 20

Enid twists her shortsword and pries open the claw holding her.  She drops to her feet once again.

The creature swings its other claw at Alton this time

Attack: 18 Damage: 5

Alton nimbly dodges out of the way of the claw.  The creature's multiple eyes start rolling in random directions and its multiple legs skitter back and forth.  Its not used to its meals putting up much of a fight.

Vlart takes a step back and pulls out a brass rod contraption with attached tubes and hoses leading to one of his pockets.  He puts the hollow rod up to his mouth and blows.

(Vlart casts Frostbite at the mimic.)

Mimic Con Save: 20

A line of super cold air shoots from Vlart's complicated device but it stops short of the mimic.  Leaving the creature unaffected.  "I have to turn up the pressure!" Says Vlart

Alton's turn.

Alton takes another swing.

Attack: 23 Damage: 11

Another solid hit knocks out a few sharp teeth and sends the mimic back peddling up against the wall taking slightly more defensive posture.  The 2nd wound is oozing onto the floor.

Enid's turn.

Enid slashes at the creature with her sword and dagger. 

Short sword attack: 23

Damage: 5

Dagger attack: 21

Damage: 2

Enid cuts two lines deep into the mimic's barrel body.  Now fighting for its life instead of a easy meal, the mimic attempts to claw Alton again.

Attack: 23 Damage: 13

Alton hits the floor, down for the count.

(Mimic scored a critical hit.  I'm sorry Alton!)

The mimic reaches out with unseen speed and closes a claw tight on Altons chest.  The mimic squeezes the breath from Alton's lungs and he falls, bleeding seriously from several wounds from on his chest.  The mimic drops the unconcious body to the ground only due to being on the defensive from Enid's attacks.

Adjusting several knobs and dials on his brass contraption, Vlart looses another icy burst toward the mimic.  "Garl Glittergold!  Please help us!"

Mimic Con Save: 15

The device sputters and a few harmless snowflakes land on the mimic. "No!"  Says Vlart as he crams his contraption back into his pockets and draws a clockwork bowless crossbow from a pocket that looks much to small for it.

Alton is up.  Time for a Death Save

2

(I'm sorry, I really did laugh out loud when I saw the single digit post.  It was great.)

Alton's unconcious body continues bleeding on the black stone floor.  

Enid's turn.

“Time for my secret weapon!” Enid pulls from her pack several strips of brown tape, all of varying lengths. She tapes up the biggest wounds.

(Enid uses Lay on Hands to heal Alton 1hp)

Returning to her attack position she shouts at the mimic, “Hey toothless! How about picking on someone your own size!”

The mimic swings a claw at Enid as she heals Alton.

Attack: 7 Damage: 8

Enid's ankle is caught by the mimic.  She takes 3 damage and is grappled.

You hear the twang of springs as Vlart looses a bolt from his clockwork crossbow.

Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

The bolt flies right past the large, hulking barrel crab.  Vlart looks astonished that he could miss something so big and close.  "By Nebelun's Bellows! I think we should perform a hasty flanking maneuver!"  He shouts in frustration.

Alton is conscious but prone at 1 HP right in front of the barrel crab and next to Enid.  Enid is grappled by the ankle.

Alton's turn
