Aidwyn's Longsword Attack: 12 Damage: 5 (slashing)
Danborn's Crossbow Attack: 6 Damage: 2 (piercing)

Round 2

But Severed Finger manages to stay focused on the fight and parry the blow, while the bolt passes harmlessly by his ear.

Now Mival and Spira are up!

Combat Stats (those interested can peek):

Round 2

Mival also helps surround Severed Finger and tries to finish him with two slams, one for each side of his waist.

Mival's Multiattack:

Slam 1 Attack: 25 Damage: 9 (bludgeoning)
Slam 2 Attack: 15 Damage: 7 (bludgeoning)

Round 2

The two blows hit hard and the underwater monster seems out of breath, ready to collapse at any moment...

Now Spira is up!

Combat Stats (those interested can peek):

"You're the best acquisition I ever made, darling.," Spira purrs in reply; but regrets the timing a moment later, as she fears her flirtatious remark may have contributed to Darvin's distraction when he attacked.  She breathes a bubbly sigh of relief as the fish-ogres decide not to follow up on that advantage and, a moment later, Khellbluen's lightning eliminates ond threat altogether.   She joins her brave comrades in their assault on the other, sending the quarrel she had readied plowing through the water like a ... torpedo?  She blinks and wonders where the strange word came from, even as she carefully watches the course of her shot and notes any corrections that may have to be made if it misses and a second is required.

Crossbow attack vs. Severed Finger 11; damage if hits 8 piercing

Round 2

Severed Finger swings his trident wildly to try to gain space - and in doing so inadvertently moves out of the way of Spira's bolt just enough to avoid it.

Then another fish-ogre enters the scene, coming down the spiral staircase! This one has a peculiar blue spot on some of its chest scales (Bs).

Seeing it, Severed Finger takes heart and tries to stick his harpoon into Mival's stomach, hoping to create an opening to bite him in the face.

Severed Finger's Multiattack:

Bite Attack: 20 Damage: 5 (piercing)
Harpoon Attack: 8 Damage: 12 (piercing)

Round 2

Mival avoids the harpoon with ridiculous ease and sends a superior smile to the monster - but then lets himself be surprised by the bite! The sharp teeth scratch his cheek, although the Doppelganger's supernatural agility prevents greater trouble.

Gaer, meanwhile, finding himself in close combat with Blue Spot, quickly switches the Longbow for the Scimitar, while Khellbluen arrives, his hand raised and charged with electricity that leaves a sizzling trail in the water, and tries to touch Blue Spot.

Darvin in the meantime attempts a new low slash, to the main fin of Severed Finger, hoping that the underwater monster is too tired to dodge effectively.

Khellbluen's Multiattack:

Charged Hand Attack 1: 26 Damage: 10 (lightning)
Charged Hand Attack 2: 15 Damage: 9 (lightning)

Darvin's Longsword Attack: 5 Damage: 9 (slashing)

Round 2

Khellbluen's hand sizzles twice in quick succession as it touches Blue Spot's skin - both times she flinches and cries out in pain.

Meanwhile, Severed Finger dashes Darvin's hopes and nimbly moves his fin away from the sword's path, which is slowed by the water.

Gaer, who in the meantime has drawn the magical silver blade Sixefsag, tries to strike Blue Spot with a horizontal slash at chest height.

Gaer's Sixefsag Attack: 8 Damage: 10 (slashing)

Round 2

But Blue Spot's attention has already been painfully awakened and the underwater monster is ready to parry the slash slowed by the water with the handle of the harpoon.

Now Rash, Unseen warrior and Anita are up!

Combat Stats (those interested can peek):

Okay, NOW Rash tries to hit it upside the head with his staff.

Rashugri vs. SF
Attack: 10 Damage: 8 (magical bludgeoning, w/Magic Weapon)

He also uses Booming Blade, so, if it tries to move before the start of Rash's next turn, it takes 8 Thunder damage.

Meanwhile, the Unseen Warrior takes a swing with its force sword.

Sword vs. SF
Attack: 16 Damage: 8 (force)

Round 2

Rash's blow, muffled by the water, is too soft and bounces off Severed Finger's skin, but the Unseen Warrior's invisible force blade hits home and lodges between two ribs, ending the monster's resistance once and for all.

"Well done Rash!" Anita understands well what has happened, seeing the decisive wound that has apparently opened by itself in Severed Finger's side "Your associations with the Harpells have been of undoubted utility!"

Meanwhile, the ex-Zhentarim aims her crossbow at Blue Spot and releases the trigger...

Anita's Crossbow Attack: 20 Damage: 7 (piercing) + 4 (sneak attack) = 11

Round 2

Anita's bolt grazes Blue Spot's temple, causing a nasty wound that, while not looking too serious, is bleeding heavily.

Now Roxana, Spira, Aidwyn, Mival, and Dawnborn are up for Round 3!

Combat Stats (those interested can peek):

Ever since she saw the reaction Blue Spot inspired in its remaining companion, Spira too has been concerned about the creature.  Is it some kind of shaman or chieftain of its kind?  What powers might it have, what dangers present?  She squeezes her left wrist with the curled fingers of her right hand, as she has since girlhood to keep her mind from running away with itself as it is so often wont to do.  "We can't know that until it does something.," she reminds herself mentailly.  "Roxana has the right idea: whittle at it from a distance and wait for it to reveal itself ... powers and weaknesses."  In the meantime, she aims carefully and tries to follow up with a shot to the same general area the Shadow Archer has already opened up and made vulnerable.

===***===

Crossbow attack vs. BS 9; damage if hits 3 piercing

Round 3

Blue Spot notices Spira aiming her crossbow at him and manages to move at the last moment with an agile sprint.

Mival climbs a few steps of the spiral staircase to get in position to deliver two powerful slams from top to bottom, aimed at the underwater monster's head.

Mival's Multiattack:

Slam 1 Attack: 13 Damage: 8 (bludgeoning)
Slam 2 Attack: 19 Damage: 7 (bludgeoning)
