[R3]
Evidently Judging the others less of a threat, the Basilisk continues its assault on Nocturno. Once again the heavy armor turns the snapping jaws away, only barely. No doubt lesser protection would have him bleeding badly by now. Indendien and Dellinanth continue to meet naught but air with their spears as they shift to make room for the minotaur.
Jordek slinks closer, Nitt and Witt going crazy as they scuery about his head and shoulders. He judges himself to be 'just' outside of melee from the sound of things. Nocturno confirms himself as a threat, landing a lucky and devastating blow agaist the creature's scaly neck as it reaches for him!
Taking advantage of his position, Linar sinks his short sword deep in the side of the monstrosity, just below the shoulder of the two middle legs. The Basilisl staggers and hisses aggressively, beginning to thrash and glare with more frantic tempo. Katten lets two mpre arrows fly, but the crowd around the creature makes the shots nearly impossible. Nocturno releases the pebble, and all are engulfed in utter darkness save Katten and the Minotaur...
