What she wasn't happy about however was the fact that it felt like that damned hydra just crushed her ribcage. And then she's in the air, slamming into the cold stone, bruised chest first. Sliding almost comically to the ground, she winces and dusts herself off. Savannah mutters to herself as she attempts to pick herself up off the ground. "Mental note, hydra's don't like plants."
Upon reaching a state in which she's not wobbling, Savannah notices a strange bump in her pocket. She reaches in and pulls out her, now bent at a ninety degree angle, healing wand. After a futile attempt to unbend it, she simply casts the healing spell on herself. Her ribs hurt.
You heal yourself for 180 (roll 7+5) with the wand. You still feel like you spent a week as someones personal punching bag, but atleast you've stopped the bleeding from the various scratches and abrasions you just suffered.

Nos hefts his hammer over his head in triumph. "Anyway, I don't know why it's so cold, but some more smashing will warm me up!" He proceeds to leap up after the Wrathful head to deliver another clobbering strike. And maybe actually connect this time, too!
You take a swing and... Nope. (Hit 3-4 Vs Defense 9)
Ah, well, better luck next time you guess.

Oh well, might as well stick to a bad plan rather than try to change it into something worse as she goes along, she targets the Baleful head and attempts to land an arrow in between it's eyes.
Mayor opts to be a shield, putting himself between the Hydra and Savannah instead of fighting, it will have to get through him to get to Savannah. He beats his chest and raps his shield, making an irritating clanging noise and taunting the beast to draw it's attention away.
The wrathstrike seems to have lost interest in Savannah already! Mayor still stands at the ready, though, prepared to defend against the next 108 damage coming his way (roll 10+5).
Taking aim, you send an arrow flying at the Baleful head! You then spend the next few seconds silently cursing your lack of depth perception as the arrow goes wide. Atleast you didnt hit anyone in the back. (Hit 6 Vs Defense 9)

Watson then speaks as he wields the greatsword with strength, determination, and a remarked lack of precision:
"Such marvels cn but ONLY b'achieved whnuh crtcal point of intxfcshion's reashid, FELLOWS!"
He then brazenly runs up to that Wraithstrike head and chops it off at the neck.
And that is precisely what you do. As you swing at the neck, your sword lights up with a cold, blue light which freezes the air around it. The cold doesnt seem to have much effect on this particular head, but the force of the swing itself is more than enough by itself. As you cut into the large neck, the hydra lets out a shriek as the head dies. As it does, it seems to shrink in on itself, coalescing into into! Even as soon as it forms, the frozen head splinters into a million pieces, exploding outwards in a wave of frosty shrapnel!
Thunderpaw gets struck by a particularly large chunk, taking 287 damage!
Bohw is only somewhat better off, several smaller shards striking her for 215 damage!
Mayor sees the shards coming in time, raising his shield and thus escaping any harm (Hit 1 Vs Defense 5)
Nos takes a little time off to watch the phenomenon, receiving only minor scrapes and taking 90 damage from a few stray fragments.
Savannah tries her best to dodge, but is still struck for 136 damage.
Watson, being the closest, manages to come away surprisingly unscathed thanks perhaps to his armor, but still takes 170 damage.
Myra is barely struck at all, taking only 45 damage from a single scratch.
Mael reacts quickly, falling into a dive roll and taking cover behind Mayor's bulk. (Hit 6 Vs Defense 8)
With the Wrathstrike head gone, though, the fight seems to drain out of the wrathful head, its previous hatred vanishing like morning dew. Doesnt stop it from biting Nos for 163 damage, though, but the attack is lame compared to the rage it was displaying earlier.
Furthermore, the neck left behind by the wrathstrike doesnt seem to regenerate, though the bloody flesh is twitching as though it really wants to.

Or at least what's left of one. Her nerves having settled, Myra returns her attention to the Hydra. Looks like the fireball is working!
"Hey, someone get another head off! I'll try to scorch the stumps!" She began to charge another Fireball, and will target the first neck that is separated from its head.
Another glance is stolen away from the scene to survey Bohw and Mayor's position. If no decapitations occur this round, Myra decides, then she'll help Bohw with Fireballing the Baleful head.
You blast the newest neck stump, scorching the flesh!
As you watch, though, the neck you blasted last round begins regenerating, rapidly splitting into two new necks and regrowing two heads! The new heads roar their ferocity for all to hear, causing the cavern to tremble dangerously! Welp. Doesnt look like your efforts have stopped the beast.

Mael steps out from behind Mayor to plunge his sword into the face of the Baleful head, dealing 255 damage (roll 13+4)!
The Baleful head then proceeds to wreck Bohw's shit by sending her flying across the room, dealing 123 damage. Mayor then punches it in the snout for 108 damage.
The Baleflame breathes a thin, focused stream of fire at Mayor, and though, being made of metal, he doesnt burn very well, the intense heat is still more than enough to deal 709 damage to him, even starting to melt his armor where the flames hit!!
