Another try of bolt & poison on gargoyle #6. This time the dwarf's aim is better, hitting the creature right between the eyes.

Sorry. It's been a busy two weeks. My wife's birthday was yesterday, and we had a big party this past weekend. Add to that things that needed doing around the house before that, and it adds up to time lost.

Rogar's bolt strikes home, but the gargoyle plucks the bolt from its forehead and glares at the dwarf. Dantes casts mirror image and instantly, four dwarves stand in a group, each mimicking the actions of the others. Faengrim cuts deeply into the body of Gargoyle 5, causing it to plummet from the sky and hit the ground, dead. Without pausing, he moves to the next nearest opponent, number 2.

Gargoyle 6 targets Rogar in retaliation for the dwarf's attack on its person, but the arrows fail to get past the dwarf's defenses.

Sorry, missed I was up.

Riori hurls her starknife at whoever is hurt most. Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

But it flies wide.

Riori tries her starknife again, but this time the blade goes wide. Chumtooth hurls his harpoon, striking #2 square in the chest. The weapon does not stick, but it has done its work. Gargoyle 2 plunges to the ground dead. With a growl, Faengrim turns his attentions on the remaining gargoyle. It turns to flee.

Dantes and Rogar are up, and Faengrim may take an AoO!

Seeing the vicious wound that Faengrim inflicted, Dantes triggers his wand again, hoping the arcane darts will be enough to finish the creature.

Wand of magic missiles, damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8.
