The dog snaps at Dravite but he dodges aside in time.

Hudak thrusts his bastard sword at the thing's jibleys (if male).
Or at center mass (otherwise).
"Curse you, hellhound! Just lie down and die!" Eyes bulging with effort, Alwyn lands a huge blow on the flying adversary.
I thought I was in H1.
OMG! Alwyn's stuck in a wall!
I thought I was in H1.OMG! Alwyn's stuck in a wall!
Elisile fires at it again … and rolls a 2.
"We need to rethink this", Alwyn grumbles as his sword bounces off the beast's enchanted hide again. "It is smartly positioned in that corner. Let's move ourselves off it so that we can properly surround it."
Vethran's crackling hand reaches out to touch the beast again.
Vethran steps back from the creature, clearly unable to contribute much to the fight.
"Screw dis! I'll be fer holdin' im, while ye be hittin' him!"
Dravite throws down his hook and moves forward to wrestle the beast down.
Grapple consequences-*for convenience*
While you’re grappling, your ability to attack others and defend yourself is limited.
No Threatened Squares: You don’t threaten any squares while grappling.
No Dexterity Bonus: You lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if you have one) against opponents you aren’t grappling. (You can still use it against opponents you are grappling.)
No Movement: You can’t move normally while grappling. You may, however, make an opposed grapple check (see below) to move while grappling.
If You’re Grappling
When you are grappling (regardless of who started the grapple), you can perform any of the following actions. Some of these actions take the place of an attack (rather than being a standard action or a move action). If your base attack bonus allows you multiple attacks, you can attempt one of these actions in place of each of your attacks, but at successively lower base attack bonuses.
Activate a Magic Item: You can activate a magic item, as long as the item doesn’t require a spell completion trigger. You don’t need to make a grapple check to activate the item.
Attack Your Opponent: You can make an attack with an unarmed strike, natural weapon, or light weapon against another character you are grappling. You take a –4 penalty on such attacks. You can’t attack with two weapons while grappling, even if both are light weapons.
Cast a Spell: You can attempt to cast a spell while grappling or even while pinned (see below), provided its casting time is no more than 1 standard action, it has no somatic component, and you have in hand any material components or focuses you might need. Any spell that requires precise and careful action is impossible to cast while grappling or being pinned. If the spell is one that you can cast while grappling, you must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose the spell. You don’t have to make a successful grapple check to cast the spell.
Damage Your Opponent: While grappling, you can deal damage to your opponent equivalent to an unarmed strike. Make an opposed grapple check in place of an attack. If you win, you deal nonlethal damage as normal for your unarmed strike (1d3 points for Medium attackers or 1d2 points for Small attackers, plus Strength modifiers). If you want to deal lethal damage, you take a –4 penalty on your grapple check.
Exception: Monks deal more damage on an unarmed strike than other characters, and the damage is lethal. However, they can choose to deal their damage as nonlethal damage when grappling without taking the usual –4 penalty for changing lethal damage to nonlethal damage.
Draw a Light Weapon: You can draw a light weapon as a move action with a successful grapple check.
Escape from Grapple: You can escape a grapple by winning an opposed grapple check in place of making an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you so desire, but this requires a standard action. If more than one opponent is grappling you, your grapple check result has to beat all their individual check results to escape. (Opponents don’t have to try to hold you if they don’t want to.) If you escape, you finish the action by moving into any space adjacent to your opponent(s).
Move: You can move half your speed (bringing all others engaged in the grapple with you) by winning an opposed grapple check. This requires a standard action, and you must beat all the other individual check results to move the grapple.
Note: You get a +4 bonus on your grapple check to move a pinned opponent, but only if no one else is involved in the grapple.
Retrieve a Spell Component: You can produce a spell component from your pouch while grappling by using a full-round action. Doing so does not require a successful grapple check.
Pin Your Opponent: You can hold your opponent immobile for 1 round by winning an opposed grapple check (made in place of an attack). Once you have an opponent pinned, you have a few options available to you (see below).
Break Another’s Pin: If you are grappling an opponent who has another character pinned, you can make an opposed grapple check in place of an attack. If you win, you break the hold that the opponent has over the other character. The character is still grappling, but is no longer pinned.
Use Opponent’s Weapon: If your opponent is holding a light weapon, you can use it to attack him. Make an opposed grapple check (in place of an attack). If you win, make an attack roll with the weapon with a –4 penalty (doing this doesn’t require another action). You don’t gain possession of the weapon by performing this action.
Melee touch attack-1d20 6=20.
Opposed Grapple check-1d20 6=12.
grapple damage if applicable-1d3 3=4
Dravite reaches up and graps the dog and hauls it down. He pummels and kicks it as it struggles, but his attacks still don't penetrate its unearthly resistance.
As Vethran moves out of the fight, Larken slips into his place, thrusting his rapier into the dog's unprotected side.
With the help of the mystical song ringing in his ears, Davos shakes the fear from his mind and races to retrieve his weapon.
As Vethran moves out of the fight, Larken slips into his place, thrusting his rapier into the dog's unprotected side.
Larken stabs the creature, drawing blood.
Seeing no other threats, and still unable to reaxch the creature, I simply cheer the comabtants on.
The hound savages Dravite as he clings to it, drops of blood spraying.
NATURAL 1!!! Hudak swings, very badly, at the Airdale.
Git 'im guys, he be tearin' me up!
"We've got it surrounded now - don't let go of it!"
Cannae....take.....mooch......morreeeee....!
Fixed, it was a typo, I'm at 11hp.
The dog takes a massive blow from Alwyn, but like its other compatriots, it shrugs off a large portion of the damage. But it is badly hurt now.
Elisile hovers, trying to get a good shot into the confused melee.
Also separated by the tide of bodies, Vethran only hopes the others can kill the creature before Dravite's luck runs out.
Dravite steels his resolve and flexes mightily, attempting to pin the foul beast so his co-patriots can finish it off.
"Foul demon! I'll rip yer 'ead clean off! Git 'im, boys!"
Larken.
Larken.
Did I pin it?
Yes - until it gets a rematch on its turn.
Attack: 15+5+1=21
Damage: 2+2+10 (sneak attack) = 14
The dog gives a cough and then subsides.
(End of combat.)
(300 xp each.)
If'n someone would be so kin', I be hurtin' right bad. Thanks fer the timely thrust, Larken me boy.
Hudak skins out one of the yeth hounds for one of those cloaks with the head part of the pelt still attached.
Tell me if it works, boss...
Hudak's gonna look badass.
He also offers Dravite a drink of water; he remembers Drav gets b%%&#y when he's hurt and the whole party doesn't dote on him. He stays out of the real healers' way and all, but tries to hold his hand real nice.
