OOC: Good a reason as any :)

Azhur's comments seem to ring true, as over a score of the tentacles
flail about over the Bat's head seeking an unseen itch that it cannot
scratch.

Not so useful against a grappling attack.. :)

A total 8W1, roll 4. A success bumped to a critical success.

Now something I forgot.. It has 6 attacks at 20 *each*, not 20 total; so
I rule that as the equivalent of 15W1 (a bonus of +3 per attack,
equivalent of -3 per attacker); it rolled a 5, which is a success bumped
to a critical, bumping your critical down to a success.

Your success versus its critical success is a minor victory for the Bat.
