Turn 7: Calm After The Storm"Kraken kill them, or I kill you !" screams Tarok as he uses his summonign to call forth a demon sword for him to wield.
[5] Kraken theoretically obeys, again. [5] vs [1] He continues to stare at the fleeing monkeys, but the object of his gaze becomes noticeably clumsier as a result.
[1][Luck 3] Your summoning attempt goes awry, resulting in a red... thing clinging to your hand. It feels hard like its made of some nonliving material, but it's got at least one eye and has a very organic shape. It feels like it's sucking your blood out, too.
+3 Summoning*Time passes as I heal*
It does indeed. You eventually feel fully refreshed and not at all in danger of bleeding to death.
HP fully recovered."Come on... It can't be long now!" Garied rushes to hack at the plant with his sword!
[5+1] vs [6] The plant weaves out of the way just in time.
[4] vs [2] It spits fire at you again. Fortunately, it then finally collapses from having been on fire itself for most of the battle.
-2 HPOn Fire: Will take 2 fire damage next turnI and Triplets concentrate our attacks on one of the monkeys.
[3+1][6-1] vs [6-1][4-1] Sensing weakness, you focus on one of the fleeing monkeys with your servant. Your trimonkey successfully bites and claws at it somewhat, but fails to bring it down.
Run them down!
[3+2] vs [6-1] The panicked monkey barely escapes your clutches.
MercenariesWith the monkeys fleeing into the trees, the dwarf congratulates you all on a job well done, talking about how cunning and shifty those cretins are. You continue on to your destination* without incident, staying at a fairly nice inn complements of the dwarf. In addition to paying you as agreed, he offers to give you each a stone trinket, one of the items he was carrying to market (mug, ring, etc).
(+1 minor silver pouch - can be used to purchase a minor piece of equipment, like a piece of chalk or candle)*Post-combat looting is generally considered a free action rolled in with more relevant ones. Hence, those who wish to harvest/loot corpses may retroactively do so immediately after the fact, in addition to whatever their current action is.
In any case, you now find yourselves in a fairly nice town. You can immediately seek out further work, or do anything else towns provide the opportunity to do.
