Taking a step forward Culpa swings wildly at the Night Hunter bat. "Do you need help captain?"
5-foot step Up-right. Attack Night Hunter bat to the north.
[15+5][DAMAGE: 4+1] You make a viciously accurate swing, well beyond the abilities you had formerly. It astonishes even you. Judging from the crack, you think you might have broken something in the bat, or at least fractured it. Unfortunately, it keeps flying. You could use a bit of new equipment, you feel.
Taking a step forward Culpa swings wildly at the Night Hunter bat. "Do you need help captain?"
"Give me a little bowshot when get the chance, Mr. Culpa." Osirio said spinning around, shield up, his flail not being used for attack but to ward off the bats swarming attacks. Deftly dancing around on the thin slab to avoid the bat bites-he felt like he was back in one of his fathers early training sessions, asking him when he would ever really need to practice fighting on top of a high, narrow beam...
"Thanks, Dad." He mutters.
Action: Total defense, AC +4 (AC now 17)
32/35 HP
Osirio focuses purely on not being hit, not bothering to attack in the slightest.
The bats suddenly seem a lot fiercer. It looks like they weren't entirely all there during the start of their onslaught, likely in a panicked state, since it seems like they're just trying to defend their home. But now they're serious, and panicked scrabbling has given way to skillful blows aimed to maximize injuries. [BAT 1: Tail 10+6, bite 2+4, claw 13+4 [DAMAGE: 1+4], claw 12+4][BAT 2: Tail 6+6, bite 12+4, claw 8+4, 5+4] The two bats on Osirio seem to fade into blurs of claws and spines and fangs, but through what some might suspect to be a minor miracle, he manages to deflect or dodge all the attacks coming for him. The third bat, gunning for Culpa, [BAT 3: Tail 1+6, bite 3+4, claw 2+4, bite 20! [3+4, no crit][DAMAGE: 2+4]] is hindered badly by a now very clearly broken leg. However, shrieking in pain, it manages to lurch forwards and land a painful blow, raking one if its claws across his face. The fourth, meanwhile, continues to chew on Arias, and rather successfully. The noble appears to have passed out, though the bat doesn't consider this and continues ripping at him. Fortunately, he's still breathing, but he'll certainly be down for a while. Also fortunately, the lantern stayed lit during the fall.
Renais, seeing his master so greviously injured, charges the bat! [RENAIS: Greatsword 13+5+2[DAMAGE: 4+4+3]] The blade digs deeply into the bat's body, with a spurt of blood. The bat releases yet another bloodcurdling shriek, clearly in pain. One might think it's begging for death. The second knight stalks forwards, glad to oblige. [KNIGHT 2: Greatsword 19! [17+5, CRITICAL HIT x2!][DAMAGE: (3+5*2]] With a tremendous blow, the greatsword meets bat-flesh. A sickening ripping sound comes from the wounded beast as the steel cuts it almost in half. It makes an attempt to scream once more, but it can't get air through its throats, instead giving a low moan as if falls, dead. You're suddenly very, very glad he's on your side. The third hurries to Arias's fallen form, and stands over it. He takes a readied stance, prepared to slice anything that so much as glances at his master.
