((The piggies aren't going to arrive on scene anyway, so we can go ahead and get started without them. Sluj and Slem currently have the creature surprised!))

(( I'll go ahead and put in my initiative. ))

initiative: 1d20 = [3] = 3

((It appears that piggy Gomz is in no hurry to commit to one of Slem's forced battles. Seems to have soured on the whole idea. Of course, pigs DO have a reputation for actually having common sense. :P ))

Underslem firebolts and moves back 30ft towards the portal, generally pleased with its amazing use of fire!

Firebolt the scorpion!: 1D20+4 = [20]+4 = 24
1D10 = [8] = 8

Firebolt the scorpion! crit!: 1D10 = [7] = 7

((Sluj, you're currently at 60 ft from it, javelins have a range of 30/120, so are you throwing at disadvantage, or moving up halfway to get it in short range?))

Underslem blasts another bolt of fire at the potentially tasty thing but doesn't manage to connect.

It moves another 30 back to the portal and it's slower, heartier siblings.

Firebolting for the win!: 1D20+4 = [4]+4 = 8
1D10 = [3] = 3

Sluj lofts a javelin into the night, where it clatters somewhere against rocks. Slem follows it up quickly with a blast of fire against the dark carapace, as he bravely moves his 9 HP closer to the portal.

The creature, surprised by the flash of painful fire, hisses and chitters.

((Sorry, Life got fun...)) Fred will ready a spit attack if the creature comes into 20 feet of range, unless Sluj retreats...then so will Fred...

Slem misses a shot and retreats even further, now no longer with line of sight on the creature.

The creature scuttles quickly towards Gomz, claws reflecting moonlight as the snap towards him, one grabbing tight to the giant boar and pinching painfully. It holds on as the tail whips forward, the stinger burying itself in Gomz neck, venom pumping into him!

((Gomz, give me a CON save please, DC 12. You'll take full damage on a fail, and half on a save.))
((It's Fred! It didn't come within 20 ft for your spit, as Gomz was the first thing it encountered.))

Init [1d20] = 10

Miasma will charge at the creature!

[1d20+5] = 1+5 = 6tusk dmg [2d6+3] = 6+3 = 9 Charge damage [2d6] = 7 And misses horribly.

Gomz makes his save against the venom, and retains his form!

Sluj moves up to the monster and swings his weapon at it, though it's more like just vaguely waving the blade around.

First Attack: 1D20+4 = [2]+4 = 6
1D6+2 = [5]+2 = 7

Second Attack: 2D20.LOW(1)+4 = [11, 15]+4 = 15
1D6+2 = [3]+2 = 5

Sluj's second swing hits, a dark ichor splattering the sand.

((It's Slem! No line of sight ATM, would have to come back 15 ft to get that.))

Underslem creeps back and throws off another blast of flame. It will stay where it can watch this round.

Firebolt the scorpion! Again!: 1D20+4 = [10]+4 = 14
1D10 = [10] = 10

Slem's shot deflects harmlessly off the carapace, as Miasma dashes onto the scene.

The monster gives Gomz another squeeze, while snapping its other claw at Sluj. Gomz is able to resist the pressure, and Sluj ducks the swing.
It whips its tail down on the little goblin that just slashed it, momentarily pinning Sluj's foot to the sand as he gets pumped full of venom. Sluj grunts as they try to fight it off (CON save!))

Poor Gomz is still addled by the poison and can't even see straight.

Tusk attack: 1D20+5 = [6]+5 = 11
