[info]Creature is 115 ft away. Audience indifferent. Lyolf to laugh maniacally. Player to move.[/info]

Kin decides it's best to engage carefully, as he's not sure of the beast's speed. "That slime surprised me last time, I don't want to get similarly caught off-guard against something like this!"

With that in mind, Kin brings his greatsword up in a parrying stance, just in case his footwork isn't enough.

[info]Full round action, total defense. Acrobatics ranks are 3+, so Dodge bonus is +6 instead of +4[/info]

[Lance]

The slime creeps forward slowly...



...but mostly, it just keeps staring, never blinking a single time.

"...Slow." That's all Kin said as he lowered his guard. The halfling swordsman cautiously made his way toward the beast, still afraid to approach it just yet. However, he began to realize that he couldn't really avoid melee combat with it. It wasn't his style to do anything but close quarters; he had to get in there eventually. With that thought in mind, he rushed forward with abandon. "I don't know who has the obsession with slimes in this organization, but I'm done with it..."

The halfling moves within a decent range of the beast without getting too close to it, awaiting his chance to strike.

[info]Kin moves to be 20 feet from the creature (or as close as I can get to 20 feet from it) and , if I have the action left, takes a defensive fighting stance. (+3 dodge AC)[/info]

[Lance]

As if emboldened by the halfling's movement, the slime doubles its pace.

"...Why do I feel like this thing is staring and smiling at me? It doesn't even have lips, or the kind of mouth that can smile!" Kin was feeling a little disturbed by the creature, especially since it seemed to speed up. Ever cautious, Kin approaches once more, keeping his defensive position.

[info]Moves another 30 ft, then holds defensively.[/info]

[spoiler=After taking a few careful hops forward...   ]

The slime flies like an eagle.

With the slimy beast now in his face, he began to truly wish that he were prepared for ranged combat.

"Ack! You REEK!" Kin shouts in shock. "I have to get this over with-" The halfling suppresses a heave. "...Quickly."

The halfling quickly whips his large blade around in front of him, intending to carve into the large, slimy beast.

[info]Move into place if I have to (with 5 st step), then full attack.[/info]

The stench was too much to bear, sapping both Kin's mental and physical strength. Amazingly enough, however, all of Kin's attack manage to land, dealing significant damage on the creature. But the fight still isn't over, with the creature launching a vicious counter-attack.
