Ii'Jyka'Vaar sees the dragonspawn being grappled by the Illithid and thinks no further, she grips the sword in 2 hands and Dimension Door's above the 2 grappling combatans, poised with the weapon in an attempt to cut into the head of the illithid...
She takes a deep breath of air and raises her legs/ feet up in an attempt to get her legs so poised that she would "ride" the halfdragon-gith and Illithid, then makes the attempt to position herself above the 2, 1 foot above the illithid.
ooc: Even on 1st roll to indicate a hit on the illithid. Missed, crap. do i have to roll for anything else?
As the scrabbling tentacles begin to burrow through the scar tissue on his brow Ar'dru grits his teeth and grasps his blade tightly. "I will not die as your meal creature." Ar'dru snarls and thrusts his greatsword up between himself and the bard in an attempt to sever the grasping tentacles.
A look of serene peace washes over Ar'dru's face as he drives the blade home, his last act before losing consciousness is to cease all levitation - leaving his entire, considerable, weight to drag the Illithid down.
[Ok, If I hit without the critical I'm unconscious because of the subdual damage from meathook, If the critical is confirmed I'm at -1 but the confirm doesn't hit on Ar'dru's AC. Your call Azure, It's a good death and the one Ar'dru would choose if you want to go that way.]
