"There Is Still Hope"

No, by slid into the wall I mean like the doors on spaceships in Star trek. Sliding. You have an open doorway to the south, and a wooden door to the north, and a five-foot wide hole in the floor also to the north but on the west side of the room. (From which the smell of dried blood issues.)

Sweet roll of 20! Okay, this fiend was summoned by a 6th level caster. That means that after 6 rounds it is gone, vanished back to Hades. However on the bad news side, the caster also had the feat Augment Summoning, which gives the fiend a +4 to Str and Con, which is why it's so fricking tough. Yes, a sneak attack will work on it. You can also tell that this is the hellish version of some evil giant bat. It's alignment is NE if you care (altho that should probably be Knowledge Religion but I'm not picky when it makes no game-stat difference).

Finally you realize that the fiend can't leave this room.

Castille's spear skids off the thing's thick, rubbery skin (natural armor). The giant bat-thing giggles like a demented child as it lashes out again, and this time its fangs catch the half-elf with a wicked gash! (Castille takes 9 h.p. of damage) Kaspar misses, and the fiend booms forth mocking laughter. It spins with a sound like clattering bones, and sets itself up to attack the rogue.

While Castille actually goes, then the fiendish dire bat, then Kaspar, to speed things up I rolled the fiend's attack, and my roll sucked. It misses Kaspar on its 4th attack.

Gnashing its teeth the creature of darkness keeps trying to kill the half-orc, but Kaspar is used to the thing's speed now, and dodges underneath its snapping jaws.

Have Castille act, then Kaspar. That should end round 4. Then have Castille act again, starting the 5th round. If you both are very, very lucky you might bring it down before it vamooses. If you kill it, full x.p. If you hold it off until it's summoning spell winks out, that's still half-xp or more, since the object is to bypass the creature in any way.
