OOC:   Kind heart...! ho-ho. Brawl it is.

Excellent riposte Mr. Tereshchenko!

While parrying the fiend’s attack you strike it hard with your weapon (I’m assuming with either your cosh or stick; either way 1d8 damage I believe. Allow me...)

Damage,[dice]0[/dice]

Alas the blow, while expertly aimed, is only a glancing one and does little to deter the creature. You are now locked in combat and will have to somehow disengage if you wish to reload.

You may all declare your intentions for the next combat round and roll accordingly.

Oh, and please roll listen, with a penalty die. You’ll need a hard success...

Hard success,Over the ringing in your ears and the sound of combat you hear a muffled thump from the passage behind you, followed by a laboured dragging sound.

[Whitehorse]

It is highly unlikely that, deafened as he is, the dull-eared Grigori will hear anything

Listen 20%,[dice]0[/dice]

Spoiler:

And again for tens, [dice]1[/dice]

As for intent... Well, if an opportunity presents itself he will take a step back and reload... But otherwise it is another round of fisticuffs...

The fiend attempts to counter your blow.

Thankfully, his wildly swinging claws skim over your head, allowing you to land a solid blow with a resounding crack!

The creature is still on it’s feet however.

[LTD1969]

I'll try to strike the fiend with my sword, although I'm beginning to wonder if only Miss Knight's charm will be truly
efficacious in the current situation

I think I heard something, but it's just the ringing in my ears.

[Mr. Handy]

Cynthia is too distracted by the battle to hear anything. She tries to keep the medallion pressed against the fiend, hoping it will hurt or at least distract it.

Are these two rolls both for listen Professor, or is one of them for the attack?

[LTD1969]

Both for Listen, disadvantage in effect.

Wasn't sure if I needed to to roll for attack just yet(?)

[jp1885]

Please do Professor (combat on forum games is a little less linear than in ‘real life’ games. You can roll, and then I’ll slot in the results when your turn comes).

The creature claws at you ineffectively as you press the talisman against it. Thankfully you are only assailant by the unpleasant smell and nothing more.

[LTD1969]

Professor Garrett once again swings about wildly with his sword.

Skill 20%

[dice]0[/dice]

And all too predictably misses the mark

[Mr. Handy]

Cynthia was already sure that the talisman is their best weapon against the creature, and the fact that it is trying to attack her instead of the others confirms it. She keeps pressing the medallion against it.

[jp1885]

Defence against Prof Garrett,[dice]0[/dice]

The fiend lashes out at the Professor, but misses.

[jp1885]

It is the turn of the thing that was deLancey. Curiously he does not strike at Miss Knight, but instead continues to target Mr. Tereshchenko.

Attack roll hard pass,[dice]0[/dice]

Possible damage,[dice]1[/dice][dice]2[/dice]

Mr. Tereshchenko, please roll to fight back or dodge. If you fail, please make a CON roll too.

Even through the noise of battle, the should of a slow shuffling and dragging can be heard behind you.

[Whitehorse]

Given the apparent lack of effect of the stick,this time Grigori tries to dodge the fiend - side-stepping in an attempt to gain a little space an reload..

Dodge 40%,[dice]0[/dice]

[Whitehorse]

OOC:   Considering spending some luck...But no - this could still get worse!

con = 60,[dice]0[/dice]

[jp1885]

Thankfully the fiend's filthy claws only scratch you slightly. Please take 3 damage.

Actions for next round please. Mr. Tereshchenko, if you can disengage to reload by winning a brawl or dodge roll.

[Whitehorse]

And that is exactly what Grigori tures to do - disengage and reload.
