A CROWN RETURNED GAMEPLAY THREAD

On that roll of 7, Trenton, you miss the creature as its body snakes around in a coil to strike. Its mouth opens in anticipation of a hearty meal.

That would be the pertinent Knowledge skill (Arcana,Religion,Occult,Nature,Medicine,Society) or one of the others if it's really relevant. Add your Int modifier to your proficiency in that skill.

The Creature is surrounded in a swirling storm of violent winds, roiling clouds, and crackling lightning. The spell erupts with a blinding flash, unleashing a jagged, cerulean arc of magic that tears through the air. With a deafening crack, a lightning bolt slams directly into the creatures scaled chest. Tendons of electric blue lightning cascade across its thick hide, melting part of its green, gray, and brown scales and sending a small plume of ionized smoke hissing into the sky. The creatures bellow of pain shatters the silence, echoing across the clearing and into the quiet of the forest.

The creature's slit-pupil eyes snap wide, burning with a ferocious, intelligent rage as it shakes off the residual, crackling static, the very air around its spikes superheating into a shimmering haze. With a sudden, earth-shaking whip of its muscular tail, the snarling creature surges forward, its chest swelling with a blinding tumbling movement, whipping untouched through the space occupied by Trenton to grapple the recipient of its wrath.

The creature misses its opportunity to grapple Rhaemy in its claws, creating more intense ire.

It bellows with rage and bites down on Rhaemy's leg, drawing the blood it so desires, revenge on the tiny, defiant caster.

It flinches as residual electricity from Rhaemy's spell flicks across its body.

Sheon fires. The hand-held crossbow snaps with a sharp, metallic crack. The slender wooden bolt glances harmlessly off the creature's thick chest scales, veering sharply upward. It sails past the creature's massive jaw and vanishes into the dark canopy of the forest above.
