The """Duck""" opens its bill, emitting a terrible, grinding, bone shaking "QUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKK." Most of you hold firm, but Poppy and Samac are both shaken to their cores. Poppy takes 18 points of damage, and samac takes 17.
The beast pauses, looking to the ground for a long moment. When it rears its fearsome head again there is a renewed fire in its eyes, and you remember an old adage: "There's nothing more dangerous than a wounded duck with tentacles and arms."
With a soggy whirring sound the monstrosity winds its tentacles up, releasing them in another flurry of attacks. The first one comes for zenge...and misses! Another comes for dubz and connects. Two go for shelter--she dodges the first one but the second connects. Another two go for mkg, who dodges the first one only to be caught in the shins by the second. Shelter takes another blow from a slimy tentacle, and the last one whips across genny's legs.
Shelter returns the """Duck's""" blows with her mace, dealing it 7 points of damage.
Poppy attacks, the lights on her armor distracting the horror and allowing her to get a hit, dealing 13 points of damage.
From the Tentacle Attacks, dubz took 1 hp of damage, shelter took 3, mkg took 7, and genny took 8.
Dubz hits it for 7 points. Samac hits it for 8, and genny hits it for 7.
The """Duck""" sways, starting to fall, but plants its unnatural arms and pushes itself back up, defiance in its eyes, fighting off impending doom...
...until Kate hits it, dealing 4 points of damage. The monstrosity sways, its eyes glazing over like frosted donuts, and crashes to the ground, defeated and dead.
Unfortunately that crashing...it's....it's coming right for you! Well, all of you except genny, who is still behind it stabbing it in the butt.
The Great Beast comes crashing down. With incredible dexterity Shelter manages to dodge out of the way of the descending dinner-to-be, escaping without a scratch. Her compatriots, unfortunately, are not as lucky.
Poppy takes 10 hp of damage, dubz takes 5, samac takes 6, Kate takes 7, mkg takes 15, and zenge takes 11.
Zenge pops a quick healing potion, recovering 14 hp.
The """Duck""" is dead!!! You've all successfully survived the encounter!!! Good job!!! For the remainder of the cycle you may only use your role action, if you haven't already. After some regrouping and assessing the damage, the Goblin King will be rewarding some of you for your bravery and distinguished service.^
^in game terms some of you will get something a bit after day close.
