Rufus staggers slightly before taking a second to calm himself and regain 8 hit points (Second Wind). He then resumes his assault on the horror.

To Hit: 12

Damage: 8 Piercing

Matthias sends more fire (I’m conserving my spell slots) at the beast. This. Thing. Just. Won’t. Die! 

Attack: 12 Damage: 4

After managing to evade the Hook Horrors claw, "Sam to fast for you. Now its my turn." Attack: 24 Damage: 6

Wisdom save: 16

Nadrael casts another Dissonant Whisper at the horror, which once again manages to resist most of the effect of her spell.  Wilnor inches closer to death as the others launch a flurry of attacks at the monster.  Only Sam is able to hit with his attack, but it's enough to leave the creature bleeding.

The horror retaliates against...(Sam - 1, Rufus - 2, 2, 2) Rufus with 2 attacks from his hooks, but fails to land either attack.

Attack: 15 Damage: 10

Attack: 7 Damage: 11

(Back to you)

Death save: 2 Wilnor breath his last breath.

(Ouch)

As Wilnor's body stills after exhaling one last time, a brilliant flash of light appears over him.  As the light fades, you look back and Wilnor's body is gone.  A voice booms around you, declaring, "And so we have our first adventurer to fall.  But can those that remain find their way out of the dungeon successfully?"

Wilnor himself wakes up a short time later in the infirmary, feeling worse for the wear and body aching everywhere, but alive.  A cleric leans over, asking him, "How are you feeling?  Looks like you had a rough time in there.  Fortunately it's nothing a little Raise Dead can't fix."  He chuckles a bit at that.

"That doesn't make it less painfull to die" he glares at the chuckling cleric "where am i anyway?"

"In the infirmity," the cleric says.  "Your body was teleported out of the dungeon after you died, and we raised you again.  One of the perks of being a contestant.  Free resurrection if you die in the dungeon."

Seeing the Hook Horror still standing "How are you not dead you ugly foul creature." Swinging his greataxe with all his might Attack: 14 Damage: 8

Rufus follows up the arrow with a stab off his own

Damage: 10 Piercing

(OOC: Wtf, this thing is invincible...)

Nadrael manages to land another blow on the horror, who strikes out once more at (Sam - 1, Rufus - 2, 2, 1) Sam, then Rufus.  He manages to land a blow on the barbarian, but it's not enough to drop the bugbear again through his rage.  The shot at Rufus fails to connect.

Attack: 24 Damage: 9

 (Pff, it's not invincible, you guys' attack rolls just suck :P)

(OoC: any creature can be invincible if the great RNGesus decrees it so)

Attack: 14 Damage: 4

Nadrael takes another shot...

( I guess I didn't specify, but you guys are all up again.  Except Nadrael of course, who fails miserably, but at least not critically)

((Yeah, getting very used to these misses... Must make for excellent viewing. I expect the editors to create an appropriate montafe of missed shots as a recap!))
