But even as they do, there is a fierce roar that erupts from behind the door ~ there is something big there, something unfamiliar. Even Engelhart's beast knowledge cannot identify the creature that made such a roar ~ but then, much of his knowledge is from lectures and books, lacking a certain amount of auditory or perceptive confirmation. It sounds like a beast to the cleric.
The four creatures, as I said, turn on the party:
The one creature that was partly hurt slashes at Embla with one claw, hitting AC 3. It causes 2 damage.
Lothar gains +1 AC from the chest, which is between him and the frog humanoid that attacks out of 1010 ~ but it is no matter. It goes low for Lothar's legs with its horn, miscalculates and snags the corner of the chest, rolling a natural 1. This unbalances it and the creature loses its claw attacks for the round.
Finally, the last creature horns Pandred, hitting AC 2. Pandred takes 4 damage (does it stun?). The creature attacks with both its claws, but Pandred manages to fend those off with her shield.

We did put the bar back on the door, right? I don't think whatever is back there wants some frogs for his snack...
[Yowza, what a rush of adrenaline I got reading the description!]
I will attack the frog thing that tried to get me, in 1010.
Attack: 12+1(Bless) = 13
Damage: 8
I hope that hits...
Is Bergthora stunned?
I'll interpret the big red "No Crossing" symbol over her as a yes...
The attack hits, Lothar, doing much to turn back the creature's next attacks (but not quite). It remains in its hex, feet gripping the floor as it is not fully stunned. You feel the pressure as its blows come fast and threatening.
Bergthora is stunned.
[regarding the door, with all the confusion, I never interpreted the door as being opened. Engelhart took the pins out but replaced them. But I never acknowledged either the pins removed or the bar lifted, as I was still interpreting the exact intent of the party. Assume that until I confirm something, it hasn't actually happened]
*Whew*
That's something at least... Thank you for the clarification.
[Adrenaline, indeed!]
I draw my battleaxe and attack the creature in 1211: 18+1(Str)+1(Bless)=20 to-hit and 6+1(Str)=7 damage.
I'm stunned. Even at full hp, it would have gotten me good. Down to 10.
If a 13 can hit though, I think I may just chance it with the Battleaxe. I won't have better odds to hit in this lifetime.
I'll move into the spot where Pandred stood, drawing the hammer and striking enemy A.
I roll a 17(+1,Bless) = 18.
Damage roll comes up a 1.
Crud. Slim pickings, but it should serve to draw attention.
It's fine, I'd prefer to surround and annihilate Toad B anyway, so this works out perfectly! Nowhere to run from my terrible axe!
Embla, that attack hits and stuns the creature. Engelhart's blow also hits.
Working on updating the post above and then the next post.
The post above is updated.
The next round is up. I may do another one today, I don't know. Working on other projects.
