R2T25: [U]Ichibod moves and nails the things with two magic missiles for no more than 6 force damage. It seems its spongy nature must minimize force.Or your crappy rolls have too be explained as something other than, well, crappy rolls.[/roll]

R2T22: The darkmantle continues to constrict Paxre for 5 damage.

R2T21: Paxre uses the pressing motion of the darkmantle, despite the pain, to "pop" himself. He stands on the opposite side of Speckled to flank.

R2T18/.9: Bessel, you are next to The Scribe on the front ranks, Clacky is directly behind you, and you ended up (with Specks) face-2-face with this thing. What do you do?
