RetrieverThe retriever ponderously watches as an armored creature, and a big creature rush in front of it. They were insignificant, merely obstacles in the way of the item.
The retriever first
shoots an eyebeam as a free action. It uses its Fire Eyeray on Roland.
[13] : Roland is zapped and takes
36 fire damage.
It then takes a full attack action on Roland.
[31] vs 31 : The first claw attack is blocked square and parried over.
[23] vs 31 : The inept second attack is likewise blocked.
[16] vs 31 : Fumbling, the machine's third claw bites the ground.
[28] vs 31 : The final off-balance claw rakes Roland's armor to no effect.
The thing also bites:
[19] vs 31 : but the awkward position it takes doesn't help it penetrate Roland's impressive defenses.
