[I think the Party is just at a loss of words for how terrible this Sphinx is... did it flunk Riddle School's Kindergarten?]

[No, that would be an improvement on this sphinx' riddle abilities. Incidentally, from the look on its face it's going from 'confused' to 'massively annoyed' at about 60 mph...]"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Gades catches onto the rhyme... at least until the Sphinx wrenches it with that last line after the pause. He ponders for a moment, even appearing to count on his fingers several times before he catches himself, then responds, "There is at least one person: You, and anyone traveling alongside you to St. Ives. That could very well include the man and his collection of wives, sacks, cats, and kits... but if you're going to be vague in your questioning, then I will do likewise with my answer."Have You Touched Grass Today?

The sphinx sputters and growls. It seems too mad to do anything for a second, then it yells, "Wrong! Now I eat you!"
The sphinx leaps toward Gabe. Actions?
[Now is a good time to ask - would you prefer group or individual initiative? Needless to say, roll it along with any attacks/damage. Unless you are feeling generous enough to give the poor thing a free meal?

[Initiative: 15 + 3 = 18. ETA: regarding Group/Individual Initiative, I vote for Individual Initiative. Were this a large battle, I'd say 'Group']
Feeling sorry for this poor Gabe fellow, Gades unleashes a Flurry of Blows towards the Sphinx. "Cheater! Go back to the Land of Inversions where you came from!"
Blow 1: 11 + 9 = 20. Damage = 6 + 4 + 3 = 13
Blow 2: 6 + 9 = 15. Damage = 2 + 6 + 3 = 11

The sphinx strikes first, landing a moderate blow [-10] with its claws while taking considerable punishment from Gabe (Oww!). Landing, it turns and attacks again.

[Is everybody in melee range at this point, or did the others not involved in the initial exchange have an opportunity to move away?]

Undaunted by his injuries, Gades unleashes another Flurry of Blows, attempting to take the Sphinx down.
Blow 1: 7 + 9 = 16. 4 + 4 + 3 = 11 Damage.
Blow 2: 13 + 9 = 22. 1 + 1 + 3 = 5 Damage.Have You Touched Grass Today? If Not, Please Do.Comment

[What did it ever do to you?
]
The now badly battered sphinx manages a couple claw strikes on Gabe [18 dam total] then turns tale and runs. You can hear its feminine voice crying like a little girl as it heads off.

Gades, smarting from the last blow (25/53 HP), tries to land a nasty haymaker as the Sphinx runs away.
