Gryph (fail checks)

Havilah swings at the approaching beast but whiffs. The halfling then takes a step back, quickly running out of space to run.

As any predator would, the beaked menace grabs out at the waif only to lose her to the swamp. Infuriated at escaping prey the avian spread forth its wings, then flew at the escaping morsel.

She has planned to leap to the rocks but had failed and slipped off one after stubbing her foot against it. In fit of flight she wildly splashed through the water as though she were drowning already.

The webbed talons lock onto her curls and drag her out of the water into the air. They rise 20 feet before it drops her into the fetid swamp. Her body flails harshly against the water surface slamming into a number of debris and rocks. Uncontrollably she swallow vast amounts of the nearly brackish fluid, peeking her head just above the water line the Gryph slams down on her back, forcing her below into the muddy swamp floor.

Dropping from the lower torso of the beast, a corkscrew like twisted ovipositor wrinkles out and slinks down as the beast positions it upon Havilah. The halfling relents, succumbing to the water and mud filling her lungs, she gives up.

The Gryph quickly disengages then flies off quickly towards a cave (+10 perception).

Havilah coughs and hacks harshly, crying and covered in wounds. Hurting to breathe, painful contortions upon movement, the worst of it yet is the nagging queasy feeling from the her stomach. She checks herself, finding the incision point, already the parasites are feeding on her life.

“No, no, i just need to-” she could not even talk to herself without the interruption of debilitating pain.
