R1T17: Zoo shakes his head to clear it. Hadn't he just been... huh what had he been doing? Seeing the horrors of the fog he scrabbles away on all fours. He definitely didn't remember those at all. Turning away from the fog he sees the crowd. Who are these people? He calls out to them: "Do you see them too? It's not just me right? We need to go, right now."

R1T16: A voice fills another's brain, crying out with desperate enthusiasm: "Awake! Wake up, fool of a madman! Revelation is at hand!" His head is full of cotton, his eyes are refusing to focus as he slowly comes to. As the mist parts and he sees what surrounds him, wingless vultures and crocodiles built of twisted bodies, he shuts his eyes again. He whimpers softly.

A sharp phantom pain catches him on the shoulder, and he hears the voice again: "I said WAKE UP! Dreams are no refuge here!"Whirling to see what caused this pain, he finds nothing and no one touching him but he does see that surrounding him there are more than a dozen white-robed figures who hadn't even registered at first. The sense of community soothed his nerves. Until he counted them.

Thirteen.

The nameless man starts whimpering again, but keeps his eyes open.

R1T15.5: As the second man whirls around in confusion and fear, another answers the former man's question. "Go? Just where do you think we're going to go? I don't even know you. How do I know you're not one of them trying to trick me?"

He rises to his full 6'5" and flexes to stretch his muscles. You see that he appears to be the epitome of the chiselled-chinned youth of northern peoples. Beneath the layers of grime and dirt there lies hidden a charming smile with straight white teeth and an incredible physique. However, the smile rarely appears and his haunted eyes dart around, searching the shadows. If you peer closely you can see he has an almost hunted look about him. He moves with great caution, checking every corner and crevice as he moves. His rippling muscles appear to always be in a state of contraction, like a tightly wound spring, ready to move in the blink of an eye.

R1T15.3: Another man surprises himself and those around him as a short sword of exceptional quality appears in his hand. Though he just can't seem to pick out anything that is within the mists, he is the first to notice that something is wrong with the northern youth.

R1T15: Tense as he is, there is something about this northern youth - his features and strength - that could lend themselves to a leader. Even then---

The northerner suddenly looks as if he has a spasm - his chest thrusts forth and he bends back slightly, his head tilted upwards, arm thrown wide, and bent knees taught. Something is definitely happening to him as he grimaces in pain and his body begins to shake. Pushing through one of his hands something is seen trying to force its way out from the inside. It happens at his right hip. Then, the entire right side of his face swells and distends and he lets out a scream. As his head swells, the mouth grows wider and wider until you notice that another head is forming, separating. The left arm now has two forearms/wrists/hands coming out of its elbow before the rest of the full arm separates from the elbow and there are now two arms coming from his left shoulder.

You all stand in rapt terror as with more incomprehensible growths form and finally a second form separates itself from the northern youth. Now free of whatever was inside him. The northern youth burbles one word that all hear, but only barely: "Me."

His eyes having rolled upwards in his skull, and despite no apparent wound or marks from the process, the young man seems deflated some how and falls. He doesn't fall like a proper body, but rather simply tumbles upon himself limply as if there is no mass within him and his skin is rumpled cloth.

What stands in his place is terrifying and altogether unlike any of the rest of you.
http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q755/lostsole31/Creature%20in%20the%20Mists_zpsvkoxxdey.png
Fear and panick erupt.
You are all panicked, and on your turn you will drop anything in your hands - which only affects Eric - and go bolting directly away from this monster. Since the northern youth (Björn) was randomly rolled as the "middle person" in the group, this means that everyone will be running directly away from it ... meaning in all directions, and into the midst.
You are shaken. I will make adjustments, don't adjust your rolls. Just because you aren't panicked and running blindly into the midst doesn't mean that soiling yourself is out of the realm of realistic options.
R1T14: A tall man with black hair and green eyes (Flair) is the first to scream in terror and try to run, but he happens to have been standing next to the monster. Before he had a chance to fully turn around the creature reveals something in his hand to have a straight razor and he cuts the tall man deep across the eyes, ruining them and doing 14 ... enough to drop the man, blood and vitreous humors mixing as his vital fluids bleed forth.

R1T13: Mack, you are terrified, but you are not blindly panicked. You happen to be standing adjacent to this unholy terror. What do you do?

R1T13: Mack slowly backs away from the rather dangerous-looking person, deciding that discretion is the better part of valor. All the while, he's trying to figure out if there's anything familiar about its visage. What is it? Where does it come from, and where is Ourolini? There's probably a book about this somewhere, and these other people are rather silly, if they're just going to stand there and wait to have their faces (or other parts) eaten, but if they want to present themselves as targets while Mack backs away slowly, he's got no issues, though he supposes that it might be considered frightfully amoral to leave these poor people to some sort of awful fate.

Having backed away a couple of paces, Mack says: "W-would you like to m-meet my friends?"
I will assume that is a withdraw action ... more than just a five-foot step, maybe 10' distance?

You don't have a clue what this is, and to be honest your mind is doing more whirling and racing than mentally cataloguing.

R1T12-T9: Four people instantly bolt in various directions, running and screaming in terror into the mist.Akbar, Zarinda, Aliendrei, & Haru.

R2T21: The suddenness of events spiraling into chaos is to much for Bangs' conscious mind to handle. Luckily for him, his instinct decides to take over. Bangs' sight is drawn to the man who was slashed in the eyes, Bangs can tell the woman over him has no clue what she is doing. A brief thought flashes through Bangs' mind wondering how he knows what should be done to aid an injured patient, but it is quickly dismissed as he focuses his attention on the man, the exercise helping Bangs ignore the chaos of the moment. The man is unconscious, and bleeding heavily, unfortunately he is too close to the creature to risk treating, and another slash like that will likely make treatment impossible. The creature must be removed.

With rough breathing, Bangs reaches a trembling arm toward the creature, unsure why he is performing the action, only that it feels 'right' toward what he wants to accomplish. Following that feeling, suddenly the nearby loose stone raises off the ground and circle Bangs' arm forming pressure in Bangs' mind like a coiled spring. All around him on the ground, the loose stones clatter as if some great energy readies itself, gathering. Bangs lets it build before he releases it sending the stone hurling toward the beast, though the stone goes spiraling high and deep into the mist. Following that, Bangs circles around the beast to get closer to the injured man, hoping to do something before he bleeds out.

R2T20: The first man to have done any speaking - the one with a hearty frame - gives a gurgling low growl of terror and runs into the mist. (Brother Jomah)

R2T17: Zoo wails in shock upon seeing the demise of the northerner. As most of the assembled flee, Zoo moves toward the man with the ruined eyes. Grabbing the man by the arms he says to the nearby woman "Hare says to go, we can tend to him later."

Zoo easily drags the man 10' down the left fork of the alley well into the mist, his scarred arms tensing at the task. Though the man weighs more than 200 lbs., if Zoo decided to heft him up and carry him he could move at a rate of 20'.

R2T16: The man who heard voices turns and runs in terror.

R2T15.3: Eric stands and runs in panic, the mysterious sword disappearing as it leaves his hand, never really noticed by its momentary wielder.

R2T15: The supernatural killer now only has the weakling who mentioned something about friends, the seemingly useless woman, and the man with thick bangs. He turns on the woman, the one who first showed mercy in this realm of horror. He steps towards her and makes a long, bloody gash along her left lower intercostals, up across her breasts, up the center of the neck, and then flicking his war razor out from under her chin as she bleeds at a massive rate. Then with a claw he tears off her face and she seems to be killed instantly. Mack, Bangs, from her blood spray you can make out the word on the ground: "up".

He now stands adjacent to Bangs.

R2T13: The weakling concentrates from where he stands and a viper materializes at the killer's feet. It attacks, and though it would normally provoke an AOO, the killer does not bother as the viper misses.

R2T8: Knuckles, you are still delaying, do you do anything?

R2T8: Knuckles stands a few feet away from the killer, shaken but not made to flee. She takes a deep breath and clenches her fists, her immediate thoughts torn between fleeing, leaving the others behind, and standing to fight whatever this... thing is. When it kills the other woman and turns towards Bangs, she seems spurred into action, gritting her teeth and letting out a decisive grunt, dashing forwards to try and strike the creature, hopefully stunning it in time for the others to act and either get away or take it down. It certainly looks frightening enough to need more than one opponent. It's not the best roundhouse and it easily moves slightly to keep from getting hit by the powerful woman.

End Round 2 ...

R3T21: Seeing his attack miss and another person die before him, Bangs can't help the feelings of helplessness and rage that build within him. He doesn't know who he is or what is happening, all the memories he can recall have been of pain and horror, but... he wasn't about to die without getting answers from this insane world he is in. His resolve is further strengthened when a man helps take the injured out of danger, a viper appears attacking the creature, and a women steps up to strike at the creature. Taking this as a chance to fight back against the creature, Bangs starts to move.

Wary of that creature's speed with it's blade, Bangs dives away toward the man and rolls brilliantly - hopping erratically to move out of it's range unharmed - and successful in doing so. Drawing a safe enough distance from the creature, Bangs extends his arm again, holding it with his other arm to stabilize his aim as the stones once again respond and are launched towards the creature, but the creature is incredibly agile and dodges.

R3T17: Zoo, you are in the mists, pulling precious cargo. What do you do?

R3T17: Zoo ... feel free to take your action, but you are otherwise no longer visible to the evil as you are in the mists, but you had only gotten 20' and you still feel his presence. You are dragging the blinded man. What do you do?

R3T15: The terrifying man runs his razor deep across and around the strong brawler's abdomen to disembowel her, her viscera dangling to the ground as she falls to her knees. Though he has time to close on Bangs, the creature whose eyes are bandaged over looks directly at Bangs and instead goes to exact greater damage to the doomed woman. She manages to just look over to Bangs and whisper - her eyes glassy as if channeling something else - and gurgle "Wake." With that, the creature tears her throat out with his clawed hand. (Knuckles, that was you.) Again, everyone senses and even in their mind's eye sees this.

R3T13: Up, up, up...is the litany inside Mack's mind. I need to get up. I need to climb something. I need to get away from this...thing, and I'd really like my little viper buddy to at least SLOW THAT THING DOWN!!!

Expressionless, or at least thinking he's expressionless while he has an internal debate, Mack looks around for an escape route while withdrawing. If Ouro were here... No time to wrestle with the internal monologue, professor, find a way to make yourself uninteresting. Let someone else draw its attention.

And with that, the man heads off into the mist.

Following fast behind him is a viper that suddenly grew many times its length. In the unseen depths of the mist, the man's cry is heard "ME!"
Mack, that was you, killed by your own now-amped-out-of-control-undismissable viper.
End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T21: Another monster? Bangs thought as the monstrous dog exits the fog nearby and attacks the thing, Maybe these two will distract each other enough for me to help the injured man?

Following that thought, Bangs moves away from the thing into the mist looking for the injured man. He finds him, he examines his condition, and tries to see if he is still alive murmuring words of comfort automatically as he does so. Unfortunately, it seems as if the man expired from his wounds, likely shock.
By "examining his condition..." this clued me in that you attempted a Heal check to actually do what you fluffed doing.
R4T17: The dog creature's neck extends like a serpent striking it's prey, its large maw barreling toward the blindfolded monster. Patches of fur and skin fall from its throat with the sudden movement. The large size and the fear Zoo is feeling, coupled with the monster's inhuman agility, is enough to miss.

R4T15: The killer steps forward and cuts the canine creature's forward underchest deep to stun it, and then takes off its snout with his hand. The dog-creature bloodily shifts back to the now ruined brown-skinned man he used to be. Bangs makes out a word in blood on the ground from where this brief, and doomed, savior had been standing (which means everyone senses this as well): "save." (Bye, Zoo.)

Bangs senses movement, and realizes that in his own terror and addled mind he rushed too quickly a pronouncement of death and bends over his patient. The man opens his eyes - terrifying blood sockets that they are - and Bangs' feels an awful pain as the man punched him in the right lung with an incalculably powerful blow. He only takes 7, but Bangs' right lung is collapsed and he is staggered. He stumbles back, barely keeping his feet, and the blinded patient stands on his feet, a look of elation and cruely covering his face - enough to be recognized by Bangs despite any ability to express from the eyes.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T21: Bangs, no doubt a little confused, the damage itself was not good but the effect of the blow was more severe. You are staggered with a collapsed right lung and now standing in front of a bloody eye socket killer with superhumanly strong fists. And you got the sense of the death from the dog-man. What do you do?

R5T21: Wheezing heavily, Bangs steps back coughing as he feels the death of the dog-creature in the distance, Those who ran immediately were apparently the smart ones. Wary of the non-living thing in front of him, Bangs tries to will some strength into his partially suffocated body, and feels as though some reservoir of power is taped into right before a small surge of vitality fills him, though it could just be adrenaline masking the pain he feels.
You are healed of 5 hp, so you only have 2 hp of damage, but the staggered effect remains independent of hit point damage.
R5T15: Bloody Eyes steps up to the man who has regathered some of himself and punches him in the head for a whopping 7, enough that Bangs totally forgets what tiny little bit of history has happened up until now. He basically has amnesia on top of amnesia, and no idea why his lung hurts, doesn't remember the bandaged eye man, and doesn't remember why this terror is attacking him.

R6T21: Head ringing ... lung burning ... Bangs is confused and scared. He looks fearfully at the eyeless horror before him before lurching away erratically searching for safety. It is a beautiful series of maneuvers to get away from the one, only to find that he suddenly has a horrible wound at his gut that cuts from just off-center of his left abdomen and through his intercostal muscles, and out the back. He looks up to see the man with the bandaged eyes. Bangs tries to figure out ... he wasn't there just a second ago ... how ... but all he can mutter in heaving gasps is "up" ... several times before lurching forward and falling over and his fear and consciousness now become a part of this nightmare realm.

R8 ...

The panicked run aimlessly through the yellow mists. Because it grows ever thicker it is harder to keep a straight path and many of you still running think you've passed some points before. Every now and then, you would hear someone else running and it would heighten your own fear and you would re-double your efforts. Sometimes something might zip across you just ahead of your path but not clear enough with the yellow mist to really catch anything. Every now and then it gets to be too much for some and ruined structures offer possible hiding spots or places to cower.

Brother Jomah hears something ghosting his steps to the side and he quickly changes course ... right into the path of the killer who cuts him wide open and he shouts "WAKE!" at the top of his lungs before expiring.

R18 ...

Eric is running in panic and he feels a sharp pain on the left side of his head and sees his left ear fall to the ground (8 + 1 CHA drain) and the bandaged man suddenly appear, but Eric does not stop but the bandaged man is fast and as Eric tries to escape he gets cut across the brow and blood flows into his eyes. A round or two later of running blind he trips and takes a tumble and smashes his head against a rock on the ground, spattering the ground with the word "me".

R28 ...

For a minute and a half now Patient 601 has shaken off the blind panic. There is an area that seems to be pretty defensible and he has taken to hiding, gathering strength for when--

and in the darkness, all hear the terrible death cry of a man newly acquainted with fear and pain and one word screamed out: "SAVE!"

"The last four of you..." comes a whisper heard as much in the mind as throughout this wrecked place "... have evaded me for too long. I shall reward your sweeter deaths with something special."

Whatever Akbar was doing, he is surprised as he is surprised by the bandaged man suddenly becoming visible down low, cutting with his razor deep into his foot at the point between his second and third toes inward, then up along the side of his leg. He bolts upright and thrusts his claw through Akbar's cut so deep that he grabs his spine and breaks it. Akbar gasps, "W-wake."

R28T11-9: Zarinda, Aliendrei, and Haru ... each of you separately hear this and now that the bandaged man is just 15' from you, just out of view as the mists get thicker. What do you do? All of you are free to post.

R1T22: Zoo lifts himself from the ground slowly, taking in the scene before him. He turns to his cell mate and eyes him cautiously. When he's established that he is just as confused, Zoo turns back to the doctor and whispers to the man beside him "Magpie sees something good on the doctor. Do you see it?"

R1T21: Björn lurches to his feet with a cry of anguish and terror as he looks down at himself moving his hands over his entire body trying to contain the creature that is tearing... forth... from...

Upon seeing he is whole and damaged he looks around...

Seeing Jomah, he crosses. "I don't know you." Then, crossing to Mack, "But, you... I never forget a face... Mr...Ch... Ch..." and then he pales, backing away. "No... I don't know you, either."

He moves to the corner with his back to it and stares at the others and beyond the bars.

R1T20: The doctor, careful not to get near the cells without looking overly cautious, mutters various things and takes another cut along the man on the table. He screams in pain and she has a look of delight.

R1T19: Mack wakes up to the new noises. He looks quizzically at the man who stares at him, then looks away. Mack licks his gumline as though he was dislodging food after eating. Speaking of which, was he hungry? He didn't think so, but so much was unfamiliar. Looking around the cell, he takes in as much of the detail as his perception will allow, cataloging the quality of the stone and mortar, observing what type of creatures might be in the rushes at his feet, noting the smells and sounds as much as he sees and feels. Once he figures out what's going on, Mack walks to the bars to see what's going on outside. As he approaches the cell door, Mack pays close attention to the lock, wondering if he can determine what country he's in by the shape of the lock. (Alas, no.) He then decides to say something comforting to his new cellmates.

"At least we're not getting eaten by a poorly-conjured viper."

R1T18: The big man with wide fearful eyes and a tangled and matted full beard staggers to his feet and lunges at the bars to his cell.

"Let me out!" he screams at the person performing the torture in front of the cell. "You've got the wrong man! I didn't do anything!"

Frantically, he shakes and pulls on the bars with all his strength trying to escape, but these bars are sturdy, and meant to keep powerful people contained.

R1T17: Bangs sits up suddenly from his sleep, panting and covered in sweat - just sweat, mind you - before wiping it away, ignoring that it is centered around his eyes, and calming his breathing. That is, he tried to calm his breathing, but being in a cell with a man tortured in front of him doesn't evoke a feeling of serenity.

Seeing the doctor's cruel experiments, and the others cries for freedom, Bangs remains silent. He feels alone, do the others not remember who they are? Do they know each other? Do they know him? Finally his gaze rests on the doctor. Why is she doing this? Does she enjoy it? Is she going to do the same to us?

Like a moth to a flame, Bangs stares at the doctor wondering what fuels her insanity.

He does not know anyone here. He does not know if anyone knows him. She does seem to mutter nonsense about "pain response" but has no real scientific approach. She seems to enjoy this. You don't know if she is going to do the same to you. However, given her enjoyment of her "experiments" and that this poor man cannot last much longer, it is a safe bet she'll be moving on to test other creatures when her plaything is no longer playing.

Note, I will roll for information/interaction-based things, just prompt me to do so. Still, her emotions are a mix of excitement and pleasure as she goes about her work.
R1T16: Akbar awakens facing a brick wall. For a moment he thinks he's still in the alley. With that thing... He reaches under his smock and runs a hand down the knobs of his backbone, making sure that his spine is still in place. That was a dream? It seemed so real. Felt so real. He looks up and takes in the other prisoners, the bars, the jailer and the torture in progress...

Prison? What exactly had he done, apparently while tripping balls on some seriously hard drugs? Maybe they just take drugs really seriously in this town. Which is... he realizes he can't remember. Holy %@#, what the hell did I take? And why did I think that was a good idea?

He startles when his cellmate speaks up. "Something good? You see something good in here? I'm all ears. At least until Miss Manners over there cuts them off..."
R1T14: Grabbing the bars, Aliendrei keeps silent for a second, look at his cellmate (Bangs), then whispers, "Why are you doing that?"

R1T10: "Please, someone ... please," says the man wanly, "someone help me, please."

R2T18: The big man seems to not hear the admonishment of the torturer and his efforts to escape increase.

"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" he screams as he thrashes at the bars. As he strains against the bars, his muscles bulge and he seems to grow larger. Then he definitely grows larger as his head nearly brushes the ceiling of the dank cell.

NOBODY is more surprised when this happens than the 11-foot-tall, black-bearded giant himself!
I figured out what you were doing, mainly because you prefaced it in the OOC with a question, but please do as you did non-spoilered ... that was great. Then, in spoilers give the "crunch" ... "I use the Enlarge ability ... blah-blah..." We are just getting started and I don't know your characters, and I don't feel like being a detective reading an essay ever time someone posts without giving the crunch. Thanks.

Next, FYI ... it only lasts a round, and you did it at the end of your round. This is Jomah surprised and learning about his abilities, of course, but he has to do set it up again at the beginning of his next round if he wants to make it useful.
Seeing the man grow larger, Björn realises this may be his opportunity... If he can help the... thing... muscle open the bars, perhaps he can escape and get back to... back to...Someone? Was there someone waiting for him? Yes... There is always someone waiting... Waiting to grab him... To torture him... To tear him apart... That poor man on the table... He must be helped...

Coming forward near the creature that was once a man he says, "We must help him..."
Please do the DM a favor ... use quotation marks. Thanks.
R2T17.8-.5: The doctor turns and hisses as if to say something to the cell holding the giant and she seems a little - WHUMPF!-CLANG!

Unnoticed was that the prisoner on the table, though truly bloody and weak, took advantage of her momentary distraction previously and struggled in his blood-soaked bindings and managed to get a leg free. He desperately kicked her in the small of the back right into the bars of the cell with the giant, the guy who just whispered to him (and the weaker man towards the back of the cell, pushed even further back because of the grown man). It was an unbelievably lucky strike and it crits her so that she takes 10 to the back and bonks her head on the bars for a minor concussion (1 INT & 1 WIS damage).

R2T17: Shocked out of his examination of the doctor and his intuitive knowledge of the pleasure she gains from her pursuits, and then by the sudden frackas, Bangs turns and faces his cellmate and distractedly says in a whisper, "N-nothing. Listen, that man won't last much longer, we need to help him and get out of here?"

Focusing back on the injured man as he whimpers, Bangs attempts something from the dream, the feeling of reaching out and attempting a connection to another being.
Al, it seems as if there is some type of ... something ... a sensation you've never quite felt before. It is as a tickling at the mind. Do you embrace it or shy away from it?
You almost feel, strange. Like somehow your desire to conspire with your cellmate gives you - might give you - some type of connection. It is a strange feeling. But it doesn't stop there. The victim's combat-tense body pauses for a micro-second ... and he looks right at you with a quizzical look. He nods, and when he does, you suddenly feel like you are definitely "connected" in a way that's hard to describe.

Then, it gets stranger, for in your mind you hear his voice, "Name's Ben. It's like you're trying to open a collective - tactician or vitalist? I trust you; we're connected now."

R2T16: Akbar, it is now truly active in here. The victim kicked the doctor against the far cell and it was a nasty kick. She's right on the bars as the cell with the now-giant in it. What do you do?

Aliendrei, you're posted actions from before don't work now (or rather, I am allowing you to adapt to the situation). You're on deck, what do you do?
As players you created your characters and defined a race. However, for the purposes of story, none of you actually began (at least your lives) as a witchwalker/ ifrit/ tiefling/ erinyes/ whatever. You started ... story-wise/ RP-wise ... as humans. Now, post events of the dream, you are ... different. Of course, you could have had an insanity or feral nature before that manifested as an insanity that made you believe you've been this all along anyway, so how you RP it is up to you. But for the purposes of dramatic irony, you ONLY JUST BECAME your race coming out of the dream. The fact that Al mentioned in-dream that he was "always this way" and that the dream deals with the subconscious informs that Al may very well have no idea he was ever actually human.

R2T16: Akbar doesn't know what the man on the table has done. For all he knows the guy could be in here for shoplifting... or because they found him in the woods, in a cabin made out of the bones of dead hookers. But he does know what the woman torturing him is all about. She is enjoying her work far too much. It's not about whatever her victim deserves or does not deserve. She needs an attitude adjustment right soon. Especially before the rest of them get a turn on that table...

After his cellmate's whisper, his eyes initially go the the ring of keys on her belt. He's pretty sure he distract her, start up a conversation. He's oddly good at that... But then the fight starts and it's too late for words. The nice ones, at least. He stares at the jailer and thinks at her as hard as he can... F#@K YOU!

He then speaks strange words and moves his hands in a strange way. Nothing seems to happen from this but something seems to have rocked her world and she is dazed
With painful stare and a roll, she suffered 11 sonic damage!

R2T15: "Let's see... Let's see... It didn't work last time, but that's because he missed. Could it be that I really can call something out of the ether to help the man on the table? Maybe he can get the keys. Let's try again..." By the way, in quotes and non-italicized means you are talking aloud.
Mack focuses his mental energies, trying to call the viper from his dream into the cell. It should be small enough to get through the bars, and it's even likely that it could somehow move the keys off the woman's belt, but that would be kind of obvious, now wouldn't it? Perhaps another choice would make more sense.

Sure enough, a viper appears right behind the woman. When the viper arrives, Mack directs his thoughts at the viper's mind while whispering: "Avoid the larger creatures and bring me..." Mack visualizes as many things as he can which resemble lockpicks. With things getting so hectic, he wondered if Ourolini - a draconic creature that seems to be elusively hiding in his dreams - would ever be able to make an appearance. In the meantime, the viper hisses and is defensive, but doesn't really do anything.

R2T14.5: Zoo looks back and forth between the doctor and his cellmate. "Please don't freakout," he says before a flash of green light surrounds him and expands.

What emerges is the large-hooved dog from Zoo's dream, it's long neck and head poking through the bars.

R3T21: Björn continues to hold his action after seeing what has taken place outside and waiting to see what his big companion will do.

R3T18: As quickly as he grew, the bearded man returns to his normal size. Moving surprisingly quick for a big man, he reaches though the bars to grab the torturer. A torture implement and not a true weapon - in fact, not even a true torture implement, the woman wildly swings at the man with the balding pate. Between a poor weapon and the man's desire not to get hit he doesn't grab her.

Eyes still wide but no longer afraid, the man smiles at the face of his captor. "How about you let us out of here, luv?"

He speaks to his cell mates without looking away from the woman. "Get the keys!"

R3T16: The weak man in the same cell, towards the back, says, ""Little friend, go get the keys, and bring them to me!"

The snake doesn't seem to know what to do and hisses in place.

Björn, do you break your delay to try to get the keys from the woman. She's not grappled, but she does seem to be fully focused on the man trying to grab her.If you do go for the keys, roll a Dexterity check.

Now that the snake seems to get as it moves in a little to bite the doctor. She's midway through a partial crouch in her movements and it bites her in the breast for 1. It is hard to tell since she is loopy if the poison will affect her or not.

None of you know what it is, but you do see that its hands are now powerful, clawed things and she/it drops the half-shears.

R4T17.9: Björn, seeing the woman change her shape, screams and jumps back from this bizarre sight. Acting reflexively, some sort of ectoplasm comes, seemingly from nowhere and forms around his body in what appears to be plate armour. Witnessing this happening to himself causes him to jump further back and bounce into the wall in shock and yell out again.

For the "armour literate," this seems to be a highly complex, masterwork suit of half-plate. Many of the vital areas have additional thickness, and it is reticulated enough to offer protection to the joints. Once Björn has stepped back, he senses two things: first, an adrenaline boost (that's the CON bonus); and second, there is a sense that the armor is yet "unfinished" in some way, and he has a mental connection to it. Yes, he might be frightened by it, but it is filling him with boundless energy, though it does limit his mobility some.

R4T17.8: The bloodied man, flanking the grappled doctor, snatches the keys off the monster's belt and tosses the keys to Bangs' feet right there at the bars of his cell.

R4T15.5: Once again, the dog was first in action, and it somehow tinged oddly in Aliendrei's head... as if there were some odd rivalry.

As this thought creeped inside his mind, so did somehow his skin on his body. His arms slightly elongated, becoming far thinner as claws started to appear where his hands were, while his face partly turned into a muzzle as his teeth turned his mouth into a vicious jaw. At the same time, sprouts of hair appeared in some places on his body...

Once those changes ended, he started applying his newfound weapons to good use, biting and clawing at the most fragile parts of the door, but good use ends quickly as the bite against a hinge - a thick casing of metal against enamel - does 6 to Aliendrei, hurting so badly with cracked teeth (possibly two shattered) that he can't use his attack again right away.

It is NOT lost to Mack's keen eyes and knowledge that the bite of the snake was incredibly powerful for its size, and it is a curious phenomenon that it should do so well.

R4T14.5: The Zoo-dog uses its massive tongue to lick up some of the blood on its face. Eager to get into the fight and escape the cell it leans its shoulder into the celldoor, hoping to force the lock, but these bars were made to hold those with the strength of ten men and they keep true.

R5T17.9: Seeing an opportunity, Björn closes and drawing back one of his huge mitts he throws a punch between the bars to crunch in the strange grey creature's face for 6, causing her/it to go limp in the bearded man's grip.

R5T17.8: The former torture victim rears back with a foot and performs a coup de grace by kicking her/it in the back of the neck with a resounding crack. Its strange eyes go buggy and its head falls backwards some.

The only thing to add about what just happened is that Zoo does suffer considerable pain from the trnasformation. He always feels pain with his magic ... "painful magic," but "considerable pain" is when it actually affects him. I rolled for the Fort save that you had forgotten (and subsequently failed).
Mack utters his words softly, but it is too soft to hear as a loud shout comes from the Captain. "GRAY!!!"

R1T23: Akbar looks over to the commander. "We're not Grays. We're just people like you, stuck in here trying to make the best of a bad situation."

He says this like he really means it. But just in case it doesn't take, he steps over to the courtyard door and opens it. He is not yet "in" the doorway.

R1T22: Mack makes a point of putting combatants between himself and hostiles, then finding cover to duck behind. To best accomplish this, he pushes into the furnace room just past Björn & Al.

R1T20: Ben stands there and his form shifts. Soon, you see multiple versions of him spinning around himself and melding and splitting again. It's like everyone suddenly got drunk and there are multiple Ben's all standing in the same relative spot, but not so you can get a good bead on him. Al, Björn, and Mack don't see this (they are in the furnace room).

R1T19: The Captain shoots Zoo right in the rear haunches for 12 with his light crossbow, a function of superior accuracy! Zoo, still sporting a wound from previous, drops and instantly shifts back into his normal darker-skinned human form, unconscious and bleeding. This happens right outside the furnace room, so those guys do see this (not who shot). The Captain reloads his crossbow.
Zoo was down to 8 hit points from previous wounds. Also, because spending a spell point was not specified, it is assumed that he was going to use a MA each round to concentrate. He can't concentrate, so ...

R1T26: Zoo stays low as he changes his form. The familiar smoke appears and emits a badger the size of a human child. Its awkward long neck marks it as unnatural. The badger-beast tenses, ready to strike should it be attacked. To Zoo's pleasant surprise, by investing a significant portion of magic into the change he is given 1 healing as his body naturally tries to fill in and cover where there was damage. Still, it is plain to see that this badger has a nasty wound.

Akbar, Wielder of Light, enters with Björn, Amnesiac Reader of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Normally, it would be a fissure in a wall in a building that shows signs of structural distress. Akbar doesn't know about such things but it seems innocent enough. Björn, on the other hand, is suddenly flooded with memories of easily more than a hundred books of a genre dealing with magic and/ or technology, or even quaint villages hiding elder evils and warning bells go off in his mind. This sudden remembrance is rewarded by a memory of ... was a it a mentor, he can't remember, but it is of a disturbingly NON-human person with a bulbous head and huge, watery eyes on the side of his head - and yet wearing some type of a uniform, and this military (?) person from Björn's memory says in a gluttery-watery voice, "It's a trap!"

Sure enough, zooming forth out of the crack are two terrifying creepy crawlies that get right up to the two men before any warning could be made. The room is 10' x 10', difficult terrain, and with these things now in there the room is full.

Begin Round One (only the four primaries this round) ...

R1T25: Owing to Akbar's twitchy nature, he goes first. Because of the size of the room (he is next to Bj, and the monsters are on opposing facing), he can't quite use a cone-attack. Akbar is at a total loss as to what these monsters are, and they are each the length of a man.

First murderous bipedal shapeshifters, then tentacled rodentia, and now insectoids with far, far too many legs. Luckily, Bangs has the next best thing to a thick weighty boot in this situation, high velocity rocks.

Now in his large dog combat form (which in its growth included its mass pushing into the space where it was), Zoo takes a bite out of gray, cracking its spine on a crit to do 21 damage + 2 DEX damage, and it is only because of the cracked spine that Zoo-Hound grabs the Gray.

R1T12: Brother Jaume steps up to the Gray, realizing that a simple five feet is a little more difficult with the rubble in the room. Pivoting his hips as he spins his heavy oak quarterstaff into a two handed grip, he swings powerfully at the creature's head and it bonks, but does no damage. In trying to do nonlethal damage, Brother Jaume sacrificed a lot of accuracy.Difficult terrain, so you moved 5', but that was equivalent to a 10' move (MA, not FA).

Also, to do nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon - such as a quarterstaff - you take a -4 penalty to your attack roll.
R1T11: The Gray, possessing surprisingly long, powerful claws, tries to shred at his captor but ends up flailing wildly, instead.

R1T19: Uncomfortable with the wiggling worm of doubt the ghoul represents, Bangs wholeheartedly agrees with it's disposal from afar and moves near Björn for a clear line of fire. Concentrating on some of the smaller stones amidst the rubble, Bangs gathers them together into a solid mass of rock before hurling the stone at the Ghoul with his will, smacking it severally for 9.

R1T16: The ghoul goes forth down the south, pushing the half-eaten corpse along with it, and gets to the man in yellow. The ghoul stands behind the helpless, wild-eyed man and says, "Try another, and this flesh bag bleeds out." To illustrate his point, he has his claws at the man's neck, ready to rip out his throat if the group tries anything.

The man, confused and frightened, whimpers, "Praise."

R1T14: Zoo, you are 20' from the ghoul, in difficult terrain. The ghoul has an obvious readied action to kill this man, and the man is so battered and wounded it looks like he could be one-and-done if you try anything.First, this is a readied action, but don't come at this like a gamer-math problem of whether or not the ghoul can do enough damage and whether the man has enough of a Constitution for a store of negative hit points so that by the time someone can stabilize-blah-blah-blah .... a helpless man has claws around his throat, threatening to slash open all manner of blood-and-air-carrying passages faster than any speed the party possesses.

Two, the ghoul seems as terrified of the group as the man in yellow is genuinely terrified ... and that's a lot. Don't try to metagame mechanical implications, because Zoo doesn't know from undead anyway (not that he remembers). Just work on that knowledge.

R1T11: Grasping his holy symbol tightly in his fist, a flushed Brother Jaume shouts at the ghoul. "BEGONE, foul creature! Your presence is an affront to the living and to my God. Go! Soil this place with your evil no longer!"

A golden radiance burst from Brother Jaume similar to his healing burst, and crashes into the ghoul and everyone within 30'. The ghoul seems to handle the burn, which in the end only does 1 PE (positive energy) to it.

R1T10: It didn't expect that attack (though it did resist it), and it was weak. The ghoul's face turns to rage and it gives a rasping, hissing shout. Instead, it cuts the man's throat with its claw, blood burbling, and spraying out as the man gurgles.

Despite the flesh he bit into, Aliendrei does a rip-and-spit to keep it from lasting long in his mouth, being sure to swallow nothing. As horrible a concept as it is to bite such a creature, Al recognizes that Olheon provides Aliendrei with teeth like a weaponsmith provides a holy warrior with a sword, and that using one's gifts to overcome evil should never be discomfiting to the righteous.

R2T20: Foregoing his previous statement in a kind of 'do as I say, not as I do' moment, Björn closes for an attack with his sword. It is such a botched attempt that when he misses, the sword goes well past and catches him under the left ear and the neck for 4 + 1 bleed.You will suffer 1 bleed at the beginning of each round until that wound is tended to in some fashion.

R2T11: Brother Jaume lets loose with a healing burst (5), and then closes right in front of the unconscious man whose bleeding he stopped. Björn, likewise, is fully healed.

R2T10: The ghoul cannot possibly stand much more. Its hideous face grows all the worse as it becomes a mask of seething rage. Instead of attacking an attacker, the vile thing seeks to cause at least one death before it is destroyed. It tears into his fellow chained prisoner with teeth and claws and by the time he is done, there is no doubt that the man is dead.
A curious thing. When this man dies, you are energized! You gain 4 temporary PPs as there is something intoxicating of the pain and anguish of a life extinguished.

Akbar stares into the dead eyes of the bodiless head and is a little disturbed by its milky gaze. Likewise, Bangs - a proponent of life - is slightly thrown by the scene.

That done, she nears herself from the noise, planning to throw an eye, her hand ready to unsheat her weapon. [DM says: Wut. And Interpreting...]

R1T9: Flair attempts a spinning heel kick to the closest tribal (which it blocks) before he tries to get some distance from the foul thing. In doing so, though, a claw from each ghoul there lashes out at him. His primary scores a hit for 3 just below the rib cage, and the other gets him in the upper chest for 6.

Before Flair can so much as make a full step to clear datum, the two claws expose the man's weakness as he stands physically transfixed and rooted to the spot. Too, through Flair's active mind stuck in a helpless body, he had a premonition a second ago of a terrible death at their hands ... and it might yet come true. :eek:

R1T7-6: Seeing how a mere scratch could down Flair, Bangs focuses on the well of power in him and draws it through the rocky crust covering his skin before sending it out and 'grafting' the defensive properties onto his allies in the front row. Hopefully, Sandra and Zoo can stand up to the paralytic effect of these creatures. In a sudden possible loss of control, while those two allies are protected, still there is an excess of rock spray that hits G2 for 8. :smallconfused:

R1T5: Closing to the front lines, Sandra utters some words as she nearly punches the fallen Flair as his wounds quickly close, as burned by brass flames: "With the help of Ragathiel, you will not fall!" She clenchs her teeth right after.

Flair feels what is probably the most powerful wash of healing he has ever felt before, easily bringing him up to full health! Since no one else in the party is wounded, the excess healing energy Bangs senses dissipates as it normally would. Mind you, being healed of wounds does nothing for the paralysis which still plagues Flair.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T21: G3 attacks Sandra. Even though it has to deal with cover, a claw does manage to strike her across the back of the head (she is looking back to Flair, right?) for 6 mod - about as powerful a blow as it could give without a lucky shut by severing an artery or something, and yet still its claws are diminished by the earthy covering she currently enjoys, courtesy of Bangs.

Sandra is eviscerated, her innards falling to the outer in a horrible abdominal wound. Because it is not a mental paralysis (like hold person), her paralysis is actually maintained, so now her standing corpse is a possible obstruction to friend and foe alike. Oddly enough, the minimal rock protection on her simply falls away to the ground. Everyone feels a presence leave them ... while most of you might think in terms of the spiritual, actually it is more pseudo-scientific than that.

R2T7: The death of Sandra and subsequent rush of emotions and what Bangs can only describe as pure unbridled LIFEFORCE which both takes his breath away and sends tingling electric shocks down his spine as she takes her last breath is... distracting... to say the least of an event that felt like a small explosion of dopamine set off in his brain. It's certainly the last thing he needs as he himself is still in danger of meeting the same fate, and Bangs doubts his own death would leave him quite so... empowered afterward.

Even more unfortunate is that his current rush of power and confidence has very little outlet that would see his foes dead. So, holding on to as much of the power that even now attempts to slip from his grasp as he can, Bangs makes use of the nearby rubble pile to deal with the killers, sending a sizable chunk flying at G2, but it skips off the doorjamb, losing power as it does so, and bounces harmlessly off of his target.

R2T6: Amiri, a simple creature, transmutes her fears to anger and with a shout launches forth at G2, but it dodges her clumsy swing.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T21: G3 moves up a little to have a better chance of getting at Zoo. A claw nails Zoo in the elbow of one of his odd arms but the rock covering provided by Bangs soaks it all up. Another claw scores across Zoo's side, but this time for 4 mod.

The door is open even as Flair is talking with the others. As noted before, and particularly overdriving for Zoo, the reek of sweat and rot mingles here. Multiple tables and chairs have been shattered and rebuilt into cages along the east wall (including the southern corner by the single door exit you tried to get in before), while a crate and an upended bed fitted with harnesses stand against the north.

Surprise Round ...

As Flair opens the door, two Tribals are there ready for them, surprising everybody.

S19: The one in front of Flair (G1) bites his left elbow for 5.
S16: G2 tries to claw at Amiri, but it jams its finger (not that it feels the pain).
S9: Another ghoul to the north that you don't quite see at first moves to the upright bed where a barely living survivor is chained. The tribal looks like he is threatening you with the prisoner's death!

He then stomps the ghoul on the ground in front of him before stepping aside. He didn't hit hard enough to do damage, but hopefully it was an impressive-enough display.

R1T16: The ghoul that Flair attempted to curb-stomp (G1) carefully stands without any interference, but doesn't fully stand. Rather, he bites Amiri in her left foot with a crit for 14! Amiri then stands stock still (paralyzed!). The ghoul continues with his claws. His first claw is so wild, he nearly slips on the greasy floor. The other claw scrapes against her neck for 4.

R2T18: Maeni, as the other apparently suspended their fight, starts talking in the language everyone seems to know, and yet with a strange syntax, "We do not agree on a lot of things, but hear that : taking hostage won't help you. If you kill him now, you will die soon afterward, ans if we move without him, what will you do with him ? Consider that : leave the prisoner go free, stop fighting, and we won't hurt you."

R2T17: Flair steps back in front of the doorway so that the hostage-taker can see him (and vice-versa). He raises his empty hands in a symbol of nonviolence. "The lady's right; there's plenty to eat elsewhere and this morsel isn't worth it. If you take that door," he says, gesturing with his head to the door at the southern end of the room, "there will be an outside door not 30 feet away. Take it and we'll forget we saw you and you'll be free to get a bite to eat somewhere else."

His maneuver had a secondary purpose, though: If things went south, he wanted to be in position to deal with it, and he didn't have a clear line of attack from his previous position.Also from your position, Flair catches just barely from where he is standing that there is a crate to the northwest that lurches occasionally, suggesting something is trapped inside.

R2T10: Grimacing at the severe wound on Amiri, Bangs takes the temporary stalemate as a chance to patch up his allies. He reaches out for Amiri's mind, if she minds she can complain when she isn't injured. Bangs easily gets through her weak mind to connect her to the collective. Flair's metabolism goes into hyper-drive to fully heal him, and Amiri heals 1.
Good call. It used to be there before the GMWM '17. It's there again on your spells sheet immediately under the class name on the right hand column. Yes, if you haven't done anything else for the day, you are assumed to be psionically focused. It would be a part of your morning routine for your psionic meditations. It's there now, though the short-column now says "N" because as of this action you are no longer psionically focused.
Though Amiri's tiny healing isn't noticed, Flair's recovery most certainly is. G1 calls out, "Yaroslava, this fella' in the funny boots just healed everything we gave him!"

R3T10: Seeing a continued delay in fighting, Bangs takes the chance to connect the prisoner to the collective. Perhaps, even if it is unlikely, Bangs could heal the man allowing him to fight against his captor, or he could save him should the creature attempt to carry out it's threat. Though... a darker part of Bangs mind is preparing for the creature to make good on it's threats, releasing that euphoric thrill of power that accompanies death... to aid his allies in avenging him, of course. Sure enough, the man's addled mind is easy to add to the collective.

R3T9: "I warned you," says the ghoul inside, unfazed by the mixed messages the party sends. He performs a coup de grace by ripping out the man's throat and killing him. "Kill them!"
You gain 1 temporary PP. Roll a SAN check.
R3T8: G2, who was delaying, tries to conduct a coup de grace on Amiri, but Flair valiantly tries to stop that with a palm strike to the face. But that palm strike gets deflected and the tribal munches on her throat, doing 13. Only by the grace of her patron does she manage to just keep standing.
R3T7: G1 manages to step out of the greased area, and bites Amiri for 3 (not a coup de grace).

R4T18: Eyes icy with hatred, Maeni shouts while waving her hands, "The price for that is death!"

She intones her spell and a small bead of green glowing energy misses her target G1.

R4T17: Flair groaned as the third ghoul made the wrong choice. He wasn't a guardsman sworn to uphold the law, or a paladin on a holy quest to slay every ghoul possible. He really would have let them go. But Numbnuts was too busy thinking with his stomach and his balls to take the wise course of action, and it was going to cost him and his pals everything.

Flair kicked the one still in the room between the eyes (4), slamming his heel into the other ghoul's temple (not hard enough). He then lets his momentum take him north a bit so he now stands a few feet away from them. He also realizes he is standing on a slick floor.Your fluff attack sequence was reversed of what you defined as attacks 1 and 2, so I used the fluff to define the "targets," and your spoiler defined how well you did against that chosen opponent.
R4T15: Zoo looses an unearthly howl, as claws sprout from his forepaws. He tears into the nearby ghoul with tooth and destroys it in a single bite. He then moves forward a little and with his claws one strikes true for 7.

R4T14: Akbar glares at the ghoul and without a clear shot he casts a spell of high-frequency sonics that only the ghoul can hear (1).Remember to roll your 1d6 when you cause damage to an opponent that is the subject of your painful stare. Unfortunately, I rolled '2' for you for a total 3, and it saved so still only 1 damage.

R4T10: Seeing the enemies being pushed back, Bangs gathers energy into his hands all the dust and loose stone around them starts being drawn towards Bangs colliding together into a mass before him. "Almost... ready... Firing!" Bangs warns his allies before launching the sphere of stone at the one who killed the prisoner ... and missing.
It is up to you how you RP the fact that on some level the man's death - and feeding off it in an almost calculated manner - affects you. It is only a loss of 1 SAN, but still a drop in an ever-filling bucket. Very possibly, you don't even recognize any effect. Up to you.
R4T9: G3 moves down and slips onto the ground as soon as he falls. He goes to get up, but Zoo is right there with a bite that "barely" nips the tribal's right elbow for min (7). It is that one's first wound, however, and he gets to his feet.

R4T8: Unfortunately, at nearly the same time as Zoo is reacting to the fallen ghoul, the other one uses the opening to try once again to end Amiri, biting deep into her chest and cracking ribs. Her chest cavity practically explodes. Her massive sword clangs on the ground as G2 retracts triumphantly from his bite, and Amiri flops to the ground and her presence is no longer felt in the collective.You get another 1 temporary PP from Amiri's definitive death. However, you were prepared for this, and your "profit" from this wasn't a function of calculation but of the same type of horror when Sandra was killed yesterday And let's face it, you are starting to become ... desensitized.

R5T18: Maeni keeps throwing around lightning sparkles, unable to unleash her more destructive power.

R5T17: Flair screams in fury and terror; it didn't have to be this way. If they had just been smart and left, all of this could have been avoided. But now Amiri was dead and Flair had lost all semblance of being collected. He howled in indignation as he slammed his fists into the leader (with only one hitting hard enough for 2).
No, just cover ... not partial cover.
R5T15: Zoo attacks Amiri's killer with a vengeance, destroying it with a bite. Another claw on what was ostensibly the leader hits for 5. This last ghoul is barely standing now.

Bangs and Flair open the door on Flair's signal, with the group set as Flair recommended (though Meanie might mumble a bit about burnt eyebrows, and perhaps right fully so). Inside, cracked, river-green tiles cover the walls and floors of this communal shower in wavering patterns. Dry metal spouts jut from several walls, overlooking grates in the tile floor. A sizable portion of the floor drops into a shallow pool, filled with something other than water: a vile stew of corpses and blood. The smell of rot and copper fills the air in this room. Three alcoves, providing minimal privacy, run along the south wall. In the center, a simple chair has been transformed into a gruesome throne covered with draped viscera and gnawed bones.

Surprise Round ...

S20: No sooner does the door open, revealing the scene described, then everyone's senses are assaulted by the deepest smell of the rot of death. It is enough to distract most of the group. Despite every ounce of everyone's intuition saying, "Surely there is something in here that wants to kill us!" ... yet again these bastard tribals, for that is who accost you, are damn stealthy. The Boo! factor is strong with them, and only Flair and Zoo find themselves truly "ready." Meanwhile, Maeni is a bit overwhelmed by the smell, feeling queasy and more than a little off as a one-handed tribal (K) with a necklace of a rotting hand rushes Zoo, biting deep into his shoulder for 5.

S18: Zoo, this is a surprise round, so you only have a single action available. This one-handed ghoul that bit you just came out of a charge, so is slightly off-balance. What do you do?

S17: Dammit, Flair thought. We were supposed to get the drop on them! Still, he quickly sidestepped behind the charging ghoul and kicks low, but clumsily.

S16: A ghoul steps out of its hiding place from the side, now flanking Flair. The human hears this though and ducks in time.

S6: Another tribal is already there (perhaps its shadow clued Flair in?) and also bites but Flair swats his jaw to the side in time.

R1T20: The one with one hand - who seems like a leader despite having only one hand - turns to face Flair. He goes low just as Flair did to avoid the other, and sinks his teeth deep into Flair's intercostals with a critical for that does 9 (max) and leaves Flair breathless.

"But, Klade-" starts another to interrupt.

"He's got a surprise coming. Musta' been one o' our kin, but we have ta 'replenish our numbers. Now take down that dog!"

R4T12: Seeing that his spells are having little effect, Akbar tries a more direct solution against the last remaining enemy. Zoo's bulk is just too much for Akbar and his fire ray misses.The problem is that the -4 for shooting into melee does NOT account for the cover that Zoo is providing. Shooting into melee with an enemy who has cover is a -8 penalty.

It's like a professional K-9 CQB unit in here ...
The bestial musk is not something Zoo recognizes, and it is everywhere, however, the source begins to become a little more pronounced as Zoo leads Corbin north along the west side of the library.

Suddenly and without warning, Corbin and Zoo are surrounded and mobbed by hundreds of rats! Its like they materialized out of thin air rather than rushed in from under the bookshelves or something. :eek: Corbin takes 6, and Zoo takes 3.

Corbin and Zoo, I need both of you to each roll a Fort save ...

Zoo is nauseated (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/conditions#TOC-Nauseated), Corbin is fine.

R1T23: "Caaaaw, what the hell!"In a moment of alarm, Corbin drops his crossbow and starts thrashing and biting at the horde of freshly materialized rats that are scurrying all over him! (To his credit, he manages to do a total of 10 to the swarm).

R1T19: Flair runs next to Akbar and drops to one knee. It was going to be difficult hitting these things without hitting his allies, so he focused on his aim.

R1T18.5: The rats begin another set of biting (Corbin takes 2, Zoo takes 3).

Corbin, roll a Fort save vs. DC 12 or be distracted.Because nausea is such a bone in combat, it's one of those things I usually have a player roll. If you guys are fine with me rolling distraction saves, I'll do it for you to save time. Otherwise, I will keep pausing a bit to allow the player to roll for his own PC.

Corbin barely manages to keep his wits about him as he is practically swim-fighting in a sea of rats.

R1T15: Zoo, losing his focus in the swarm, falls back to collect himself (and succeeds, now no longer nauseated).

R1T14: Smoldering once more, Maeni steps in front of Akbar and unleashes a stream of fire as her hands turn into coppery scale-covered-claws.

"Come over here if you dare!" Her voice is still distorted by the fire, and her eyes glims for an instant with an odd yellow-green light as she sends a wash of flame over the western flank of rats. It is a dramatic enough light that the rats do well in ducking, but the damage is still 4 fire to the mass.

R1T12.1: Rats suddenly fill the area where Maeni, Akbar, and Flair stand. They take 3, 4, and 3 (respectively).

Maeni is freaking out right now in the sea of rats, but Flair and Akbar are able to keep it together.

R1T5: Stepping forward to the doorway, Bangs gathers stone from the always present rubble of these ruins and sends it flying at the nearest swarm of rats, but shredding several books on the far book shelf while really dinging up the corner of a nearby table. "Where do they keep coming from?" he shouts while looking about to avoid getting himself swarmed.

R1T4: Yet another large swath of rats appears, this time underneath Bangs!

R2T25: Akbar turns to face away from his companions, shouts a word and gestures at the thickest clump of rats. Dazzling lights, like a dozen flashbulbs (whatever those are) going off at once, blind that part of the swarm. He rushes through the temporary gap and starts toward the doors, but he halts when he sees the rats are in that room as well.

R2T23: Corbin continues biting and clawing at the swarm, both claws doing a total 8. He barely missed a neck sprain with the bite, though.
Thank the gods it was a Ref-based save (21 total)![

Also the bookcases reach a height of 8', and the ceiling height is 10' at the bookcases, and 12' above the main floor. So if you went onto the shelves you would have to crawl. Also, there are three rolling ladders on tracks on each side. On each side ... one is at the bottom west corner, one at the top, and one in the middle.
R2T19: Flair twists out of the way, and begins to try stomping a mudhole on the rats, but fails.

R2T15: Zoo lets loose on the swarm next to him with a flurry of hooves, claws, and teeth. It only takes a single bite for the entire swarm to disappear from sight, with no bodies left behind as evidence. Zoo steps forwrd to meet Corbin.

R2T14: Freaking out from the swarms, Maeni moves north several feet to be closer to the two Rat Swarm Assassins - dog and bird both.
Yes, but the balance here is they are not "retractable," so if you want to do anything requiring precision or dexterity an interaction with an object, they need to be released - free action. This does NOT include spellcasting with somatic components, but does include spellcasting fumbling around with material components. Note that your divine focus (holy symbol of Desna) does not impact spellcasting with your claws out. Arcanist spells with any M/F component do, as do any oracle spells that might require some other component you have to get out and mess with.

Yes, with nausea you only had the move action available. Opening datum is a fine action. Also, even though the game effect is mechanically "nausea," you aren't actually nauseaous. It's freaking out because the little bastards are everywhere. Now, of course, maybe your RP your revulsion instinct high so it is nausea, but the baseline for distraction is just that ... distracted, not ill.
R2T12.5: Though Akbar got only one corner of the swarm, the overall confusion and seemingly "drunken look" of the rats throws the rest of the rats in disarray as they do nothing and seem to be all scatter-brained.

R2T5: Kicking off the rats gnawing at his ankles, Bangs steps into the library and slams the doors shut.
Brilliant idea. Love it, but it takes a move action per door (even if visually it is done simultaneously).
R2T4.5-.0: The rats can be heard on the other side of the door, squeaking and scratching angrily. Then, the noises on the other side of the door suddenly stop. Bangs then gets hint in the head from above by a book (3 mod, not a lot of force, but it hit just right). Looking up at the bottom corner bookshelf to the west, Bangs sees a creature looking down at him that is ratlike in appearance, if it weren't for the tiny human hands it has in lieu of paws, and the unnervingly human face with a toothy mouth.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T25: Akbar moves back to get a clear view... when he sees the creature on the bookshelf he channels his rage and disgust into a silent scream (6 sonic).

R3T23: "What the hell is that?!" Spotting the freak of nature, Corbin collects his crossbow and steps out of the swarm (even though it no longer exists there, he still "feels" the rats crawling all over him), and he lets a shot fly to to hit the thing (barely) for 9.

R3T19: Flair continues his stomping assault on the rats. His first attack is so bad it frustrates him. That only makes things worse as he is just simply wild, and then pinches a nerve in his hip from bad form!
Frustration = -4 to all attack rolls for 1 full round (including next round). No recovery but time.
Pinched Nerve = Reduce reach by 5' for 3 rounds. If at 0, he cannot attack, which means he must use Pugnacious trait, or shoot with his crossbow.
* Since it isn't damage, a healer (as in Heal skill, not hp-application or any other quick-bandaid fix) would have to tend to that.
R3T18: Another one of these things appears right above Maeni as she gets hit in the head for 1. Even now that Flair can see one of these horrible creatures, he has no idea what it is.

R3T15: Zoo, you don't know what these two things are, and their size and their size is such that they have improved cover from anyone adjacent, and normal cover against ranged or reach weapons. Though in dog form, you are right next to a ladder ("L") going up to the bookshelf. What do you do?

R3T15: Zoo scrambles up the ladder quickly and then practically crawls in his current dog form (Medium) to get right up to the little monster (R1).

R3T14: Maeni steps over and clambers onto a table. Though R1 is closer, R2 is not currently threatened. (Flair is adjacent, but the height advantage gives R2 total cover.) She sends out a flame arc to punish the little terror for its stupidity in attacking such a larger, stronger party (5 fire). "They're ratlings. Rat powers, stealthy. Disgusting."

R3T12.5: The rats advance on Flair, though they seem to move about blindly, more following his whomping, stomping feet as a source of targeting than what they can(not) see. His pinched nerve keeps him from getting a stomp in as they race around and begin to swarm him. He frantically moves about, so only takes 1, but they still cover him ...

R4T25: Akbar steps back to where he can see the rat swarms in both rooms, but with the door shut he realizes he can only see the rats in this room. He thinks quietly for a second, and then the rats themselves are swarmed by blinking lights that scurry along the floor like glowing insects.

"Don't worry about those lights on the floor... they're mine and they won't hurt us."
Silent image is from your mesmerist side and is a psychic spell. No tongue-wagging, finger-babbling, or trinket-tossing required. :smallsmile:
R4T23: Corbin narrows his eyes and aims, trying to peg the ratling with a bolt while it's otherwise occupied chucking books. Unfortunately, its small size and the cover from bookcase (due to height differential) spoils Corbin's shot.

R4T19: Flair realizes there is only one place in the entire world where he wants to be: away from these rats. He high tails it around the table, hoping to interpose it between himself and them.

R4T18: R1 backs up five feet and gets closer to the wall (putting him out of LOS for shooters on the floor, but Maeni and Zoo are fine). It then gives Zoo a fierce look and squeaks loudly.

You are standing on top of a table in the middle of the room, with excellent sight lines to all creatures on top of bookshelves in the corner. So, I don't know what you were really asking.
I will calculate for bless. Do not add it into your attack rolls, please.
R4T12.5: The rat swarm quickly moves eastwards to engulf Akbar and Bangs (the former missing with his walking stick as he waves wildly at the advancing rats). Akbar takes 5, and Bangs takes 4 mod. It seems that the blinking lights did not distract the rats. All of the bites on Akbar throws his concentration and his silent image ends.

R4T12-11: One of the two southern doors ... opens as if by an unseen hand! A squeaking - more distinct and specific than random - is heard at the door, and the rats outside now spill into the room and get right up to Flair (but he still remains outside of their area)!

R4T5: Bangs ... roll a save vs. Fort DC 12 (in OOC). If you fail, take your actions as nauseated. If successful, you may act normally.
Akbar on deck ... roll a Fort save vs. DC 12 or be distracted (nauseated).

R5T23: Corbin, succumbing to good sense and peer pressure, makes a quick hop up to the table and reloads his crossbow, while keeping an eye out for the vile vermin.
"Hey, where'd they go?"

R5T19: Flair decides to head for higher ground, but not before he give these rats what for. He flips forward, slamming his legs into swarm (3) before kipping-up onto the table.
No precision damage to a swarm. Pugnacious trait is now expended. You have one more round that you'll have to deal with the pinched nerve.

R5T14: Now that her allies are supported, Maeni steps down off the table and shoots a ray of fire, now that she's sure that no books will catch fire. "Beware the other one behind!"

Because it took her some effort to get off the table, she takes some cover with the table there and hits the SW corner for the rat swarm to the south for 13 fire, which crisps more than a few rats.Took a move action to climb down off the table. To not hit the table or Akbar, the best you could was just barely catch the swarm to the south.
R5T12.5-11: The swarm to the east proves just how adept they are at climbing as they surge up and onto the whole eastern side of the table, biting and getting Flair for 5. The swarm that Maeni just hit with fire likewise goes up the table, and now the massive library is swarmed with rat as Corbin takes 6 and Akbar takes 4.

R5T5: Seeing Akbar and Corbin really getting chewed up, Bangs sends forth healing through his collection to give them both 3. He then moves up to the center, stepping onto a chair and up onto the middle table.

R5T4: Once again, Zoo feels a wave of fear wash over him, trying to turn him from the battle.

R6T25: Akbar makes a spry hop to the table just north, landing next to Bangs. He still has a bead on R1 and casts his spell. The ratling seems mentally prepared and only takes 3 sonic.

R6T23: Well, so much for good sense. Corbin gives up on trying to spot the ratlings for now and tears into the swarm again, his crossbow not quite clattering on the table as many rats cushion its fall. He is truly a feral mess of bird-man vs. rats, and by the time he is done, the whole western table is clear as every rat that was part of that swarm magically winks away. Only one swarm remains ...

R6T19: Apparently tabletops were not the place to be, as they could be reached by the swarms as well. With that in mind, Flair hops off the table and runs north, getting as much distance from them as he can. He no longer feels like he he has a pinched nerve ... perhaps some soreness, but no longer any impairment.

R6T18: R1 steps back from Zoo, and then disappears from sight.

R6T15: Zoo can no longer fight against the terror of the tiny beasties, and he turns tail and runs along the top of the bookshelf and down the ladder to the far north and lands on the ground.

The rats sense the heat even before it leaves Maeni once she forms it, and the swarm only takes 6 fire, but the tabletop gets badly scorched. It wasn't enough.

R6T12.5-12: The rat swarm immediately heads west, engulfing Corbin, but not before he gets in a strike of his own for 5. He then gets nipped on by the swarm for 1.

R9T23: Corbin tosses Bangs a wave of thanks and walks over to grab his crossbow (loaded), scanning the tops of the shelves for the ratlings.

R9T12: Flair's calf stings and he looks down and sees a ratling (R3) at his feet (on the table with him) as he gets bit for 4 ... and the wound bleeds!

R9T11: Hearing Flair's hiss of pain, Akbar turns around and shoots a fire ray at the ratling but misses.

R9T5: Bangs spends more mental power to reinforce the life-force of a few of his allies, and Zoo and Corbin feel slightly ... buoyed by some force emanating from Bangs (mentally).

R10T24: Recovering quickly from the pain, Flair shoots at the now-visible ratling, hitting it for 8 before stepping away. Still, Flair suffers 1 bleed.
Sorry, I missed it with the post that Akbar made. It attacked invisibly, though, so there was no way to hit it before it hit you. Also, your Point Blank Shot ends on Segment 19 of this round, not in 3 rounds, so it is basically done.
R10T23: Corbin squints and takes a shot at the ratling, grazing it for 2, the reloading.

The new girl opens the door. She doesn't even have time to assess the room when she is surprised by a creature 10' from her. It looks like a man, but not, and in a tattered patient gown as it charges her. His mouth opens with terrifying distention and wickedly sharp teeth and he snaps at her, missing her as she steps back just enough in shock.

You think you might see one more tribal in the room (G1, you don't see G3). You are currently concentrating on small dog form, though your physical enhancements are locked in for another 17 minutes.

R1T6: The woman unleashes a flurry of strikes at the ghoul who attacked her earlier. She drops low with an elbow drive into its left thigh for 9. She had hoped to do an elbow cross to the face when it dropped from the pain, but it doesn't respond at all like she expected and her second attack is more checked by herself re-evaluating than an overcommittal.

R4: Even with the elbow drive, most men would have tried to withdrawal, but it is as if this "man" doesn't even feel pain. It launches its head forward to bite her in the upper left arm for only 3, but this creature possibly has some type of poison as she feels the muscles in her arms stiffen. It is a pain unlike she has any sense memory of, despite her amnesia, but she manages to rally and tries to get back into a defensive posture even as it comes in with its claws, which she deftly ducks with dexterous dodging.

R3T6: While there are benefits to being this size, it made fighting someone through a door untenable. She clapped her hands and dissolved into blue energy. It flowed over the beastly foe, and she appeared whole on the opposite side of it. She delivered a savage snap kick to it (15), though it left her tired, her arms drooping slightly.

R3T3: The tribal whips around to face the giantess that just blasted him. Her armor stops its bite but it grazes her left quad with a claw for 2. It then attacks with another claw.Okay, roll a Fort save vs. DC 13. If you fail, you are paralyzed, and its second claw will connect for 6 damage. I haven't calculated the 6 damage yet.

Zoo gives out a big puppy yawn, but otherwise is fine. He continues sniffing and as he passes a box he sees a vague, humanoid figure that seems to be the source of this unnatural fog. Zoo stares and blinks at the humanoid figure, and realizes he is being looked at by the thing as well. Its mouth closes, and in a second or two the fog already seems to be slightly less than before.Fluff only, the mechanics are the same.
Zoo gives an accidental bark, a reflex of caution.

Begin Round One ...

R1T21: Corbin, you hear Zoo give a warning bark. This is enough to bring your reflexes online. What do you do?There is no battle yet, but initiative is being tracked depending on what happens. Note that you don't have to move half-speed, but you do need to realize that at no time can your PC see more than 5' away, and anything adjacent to you has concealment. Please don't meta the map as such. You've gone from the stairs (that lead down to the rope going down) directly to your position since Zoo had a scent to follow.

Unlike the others, I assumed from your desire to be in back ... and to have mobility ... that you are NOT tied off for safety like the others.

R1T21: Perks up, then hunkers low, damning the poor visibility. He tosses the crossbow into his off hand and pulls his trusty knife, hoping that whatevers out there wont find him before he finds it.Since you are directly behind the party, you simply use your current position to freeze (letting the fog do the work for you as far as visibility and remaining quiet for your Stealth check.

If you look at the map, there is PLENTY to hide behind, but to balance that, you are only aware of those boxes and crates that you would have a chance of seeing (within 5' during your path).
R1T20: The humanoid lashes out at Zoo with a fist that catches the pup in the teeth for 6 and 1 CON! The second punch likewise lands for 6. Two loud thumps are heard, including yelps from Zoo-dog."My Teef!" ... Your bite attacks are at a -2 penalty on the attack roll (no penalty to damage). A Heal DC 25 check is needed to repair his teeth (regardless of form), which would remove the bite penalty. The ability damage can only be healed by rest or restorative magic.

R1T19: Snips scowled at the fog; she could hit the oneirogen much better from the other side, but its accursed fog blocked her line of sight and without it, she couldn't flow into position. She instead tries to slam her heel into it - missing - before scooting around Zoo, getting into position for next time. She feels the rope between herself and Maeni grow taut.

R1T8: Bangs, you cannot go more than 10' from Maeni the way you are tied off. You hear Zoo in combat with something, but see neither him nor the combatant (remember, past 5' you can't see). What do you do?

R2T21: Corbin tries to cut a path through the debris, towards the front of the line, keeping his head down. Maybe he can get the jump on whatever is making all this racket. He is able to hide along a box (one square south) before he has eyes on target. With what cover he can manage he shoots at the man, hitting him in the left foot for 4.The assumption from what I read is that if you got a shot you'd take it. Unfortunately, with the fog he can't see the enemy well enough to pick out vital spots (i.e., concealment).
R2T20: The strange man doesn't pay attention to the minor wound in his foot, not even really registering pain. He slams Zoo-dog with a fist for 6, then again for another 6.

R2T19: Snips grunted in frustration; she needed to get around this thing, but its accursed mist hindered her movement. The rope that was supposed to keep her safe was just getting in her way now, so she flowed her way out of it instead, moving southerly as to get a better angle against it, slamming a pair of fists against it as she does so. Her first fist strikes the man in the upper right arm for 15, causing the man to reel from a broken arm. Better yet, it was a sideways strike that served to check the man's movement, and Snips follows up with a brutal uppercut-crit for 28 that shatters the man's face and bits of broken skull shred the man's brain as his top vertebrae snap and his head is pushed back on the neck before twisting horribly.

S15: Startled by the howl, Zoo's tail droops and his ears fold back. Unwilling to let another pack mate die, he creeps past Snips hugging the wall to his right, and when he sees the thing in front of snips, he is forced to go back to where he was. But before he can step back freely, the creature's sinuous neck lashes out and bites Zoo for 5. Luckily, only because he is currently a quadruped is Zoo able to keep his footing and not foul up Snips as he slinks back into place behind her.
Though Snips is at a corner on her forward right, it's not enough for you to go around (hard corner) without going in the creature's square. Unfortunately, though allies count as cover for the purposes of ranged attacks, they do not count as usable cover to deny AOOs...

End Surprise Round, Begin Round One ...

R1T16: The monster's long neck lashes out and bites Snips in the abdomen just below her breastplate for 3. Its several foreclaws then lash out at her and all four hit her for a total of 9.

R1T15: Zoo, though you are suffering from some fear, you can now act more fully. It is standing in a "breech area" to keep anyone from going into where you couldn't see any walls through the mist to the east (you're coming from the south, and there will be no map for this battle because of "fog of war"). You either have to find a way to get to it from above, get to it at range (and Snips is still causing cover penalties), or be acrobatic in some way. Meanwhile, while it is hard to see the extend of Snips' injuries, you do hear her get slashed several times and you smell the new blood smell of opening wounds several times from her. What do you do?

R1T15: Zoo perks up at the smell of blood in the air and tries something he's never done before. His arms retract in to the dog's body as a bony horn grows from his forehead and his legs grow more muscular.

He tries to leap over Snips to skewer the creature with his new horn, but Snips - who is defending her dazed self totally by instinct - blocks her ally. Zoo ends up right where he started.Good news: You didn't suffer an AOO from the creature's long neck. Nor did you go so far as to warrant an AOO in going back to your square.

Bad News: Standing Start and crappy Acrobatics roll ... you go nowhere, attack lost.

R1T8: Bangs wishes to step forward to allow a little give in the rope for those ahead, but is unable to do so because Corbin is there, and he is otherwise unable (or perhaps unwilling with his knocking knees) to offer up any different assistance.

R1T7: Snips slams her fists into the beast, but her fear takes away some of her commitment and she merely hits the monster's colorful scales with her first fist, and her second fist strikes so hard against a very thickly scaled portion of it that she not only does not damage, but she suffers pins and needles from her left hand. With the lizard in front of her and Zoo behind her, she has nowhere she can safely step away.
Snips took only two strikes from claws, and that is 5 damage she didn't suffer. Thanks for the reminder. However, this reminds me that EVERYONE is suffering miss chance right now because of the concealment of the yellow fog. Thanks for that reminder, too.

Next, the fumble ... you are considered sickened (as well as shaken), and you don't know the duration as your left hand has that horrible, paradoxical mix of numbness and pain.

As he does so, the lizard's long neck darts forth to bite Snips in her left shoulder for 4, and the rough movement with the bite is enough to knock her prone ... but at least now she is shielded by Zoo.

R3T7: "לַחֲזוֹר!" Snips said, touching Zoo and flowing him to her. She then moved forward and slammed it with her elbow for 9. Though she is enjoying feeding off her fear, now she is also no longer feeling any pain, either (no longer sickened).

R4T15: Still battered and a bit confused at his sudden translocation, Zoo groggily dismisses his dog form. "We should fall back! The beast is strong and shrouded in fog. We need it in the open or we need to fill the hall with fire."

His piece said, Zoo transforms again into the armed dog and extends his claws, though Zoo is suffering from pain from the transformation. However, he is no longer affected by fear. Neither for that matter, is Maeni, Corbin, or Snips.

R4T14: Hearing Zoo's words, Bangs moves towards the exit, but only to the extent that the rope becomes taut ... which means he only moves 5' to the south. He is still suffering from his fear of the fell noise, and now he no longer sees any ally but the rope going into the yellow mist.

R4T10: Maeni is no longer scared. Zoo is in front of her, Corbin behind. Zoo is wounded. What does Maeni do?

R4T10: "I'm standing back Zoo, let's move!" Maeni moves to let Zoo breathe and waits there. However, she only moved south 10'. She moved well past Corbin (10') to Bangs, but unable to stay in the same square as the healer (because she is tethered to Corbin as well as Bangs), she only ended up moving 10' south. Corbin is immediately to the north, and Bangs immediately to the south, and a wall on both sides.

Corbin is currently delaying. The space immediately in front of him is clear, and Maeni is behind him now. Also, the rope that was attached to Snips is at Maeni's feet, sorta dragging in Corbin's square ... Snips is no longer attached for some reason.

R4T7: Snips, what do you do? Lizard-thing in front of you, Zoo behind you, and a call from Bangs to withdraw. You do recognize now that the Small-sized lizard's claws wouldn't catch you on a withdraw, but you are sure that its ridiculously long, sinuous neck would (10' reach). Also, because your fear left you, you no longer have anything to "feed off of" from Maeni's spell (so your stats are normal again).

R4T7: The creature is no longer staggered. Snips took a deep breath and readied her left fist. She was slightly out of breath, but she needed to stay put until Zoo pulled out. Once it struck, she would be ready. Her mind fills with martial inspiration.

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R5T16: Bangs no longer feels fear. As Snips is in her trance, the lizard's neck snaps out at her and Snips react with a striking block - not enough to hurt it, but enough to deflect its bite. A claw scrapes off of her armor before another scrapes her neck for 2. She deflects the next two claws.

R5T15: Zoo, you just saw Snips take a light hit on the neck, even if the creature's head withdrew back into the mist away from your sight. Nobody is standing behind you. What do you do?

R5T15: Zoo extends his arms to lift Snips on to his back. Snips isn't willing, so Zoo backs away from the beast to give Snips a chance to run. He passes Corbin, Maeni, and Bangs, and keeps going until he ends his movement just outside the smaller hallway, entering into the larger hallway to the south.

R5T14: Bangs, you don't know how Snips is doing, but Zoo - visibly wounded - just passed you and continued beyond your sight (only 5' either way) to the south. The person you are tethered to - Corbin - must be 10' from you because you don't see him and the line is taut. Meanwhile, Maeni is between you and Corbin (she was originally tethered to Corbin from the front of the group). What do you do?

R5T14: Bangs delays where he is, though he will resist if Corbin starts pulling him into the fog. He doesn't feel comfortable abandoning Snips in the fog. He is nervously checking his collective to make sure that she can still be felt, but realizes he has no control over everyone else's perception ... merely that he can sense he is connected to the others.

R5T10: Maeni, what do you do? Corbin, who was your tie-off partner to the back, is now to the north of you, and Bangs - Corbin's tie-off partner is to your south. Bangs seems to just be standing there. The rope that was leading to Snips is slack and you feel only the slightest bit of tension from it.

R5T10: Maeni moves back forward of Corbin (which "fixes" any snarl that might end up happening with the rope), keeping a clear view to be ready to throw fire at the creature. "Be sure to move to the side, Zoo! Fire incoming!"

But then she remembered that Zoo did pass her, so in the confusion of the mist she lets loose with a fire arc. Instead of a lizard-like scream, she hears the scream of a woman and a hissing noise.
Snips, Maeni threw you off when she used Zoo's name and you take the full 8 fire. Whether because you shielded it or because the small lizard is fast, it only took 4 fire.
Corbin is delaying...

R5T7: Snips frowns ... and grimaces in pain. She was certain she could annihilate this thing if she could only see past it. Still, Zoo had fallen back and her job as pointsman was over, so she too retreats, using the fog to actually help her this time. She moves 10' to pass Maeni, then Corbin, another 10' to pass Bangs, and about 15' further south. She sees the hallway just open up (in the mist) past her, but she's not quite there yet. Zoo is just south of her now.

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R6T16: Maeni sees a strange creature coming out of the fog ... a small lizard with a very long neck and six short, muscular legs ... and it is charging her! It pounces on her, bringing all of its weapons to bear. With her mage armor long since expired, its clumsy bite just manages to get her in her groin for 5. Maeni just barely manages to keep her feet. Its claws all come in as well. The fog does nothing to protect her as three claws hit her for a total of 9.

Everyone hears Maeni scream in terrible pain, and Corbin sees it. Maeni is still standing, but only barely.

R6T15: Zoo, you hear Maeni's plaintive cries down the hall, even as you see Snips hustling towards you (just in front of you in the foggy corridor). What do you do?

R6T7: Snips swears as she hears Maeni's howl of pain. How had she missed her in the mist? No matter. No one was going to die today if she could help it. Determined, she heads back into the mists once more, making her way up to Corbin. She "flows" Corbin behind Bangs to protect the tengu and remove him as an impediment. As soon as Corbin materializes, she yells at him. "Get out of here! I'll hold it back as best I can! Maeni, you, too! I can't see you!"

He sees Bangs and comes right up to him, eyeing the fallen figure of Maeni, then looks up at the slender Ulfen man. "What the hell was that noise, don't explain Maeni's condition or waste time. Where are the others? Short and snappy, Bangs."

R11T16: Meanwhile, the lizard unleashes its fury against Zoo. The mist foils its bite. A claw scratches Zoo for 3, but on the next claw attempt it ... strains its eye ... and out of instinct and pain the other eye shuts. It is blind. It still lashes out now, blindly. Against all odds, the last claw scores a wildly lucky crit on Zoo for 9. And now Zoo is barely on his four paws.

R11T15: Zoo, how it landed that last blow you'll never know, but it did and it almost dropped you. You are barely standing yourself now. Corbin came up behind you. What do you do?

R11T15: Seeing the beast's condition, Zoo wastes no time and hefts Snips. The lizard, hearing commotion snaps wildly around. Zoo carries her limp form back to the hall's entrance ready to collapse himself. There, he sees Bangs and now Heck over Maeni. Given the lizard's first howl was hurting Zoo's canine ears, no doubt everyone in the complex heard the beast.

R11T14: Not needing to be told twice, Corbin books it towards the others as fast as his little chicken legs can carry him.

R11T6: Worried that the beast will follow his companions out, Bangs moves Maeni further from the fog. He grabs hold of Maeni's underarms, and he only gets five feet because she is heavier than Bangs is strong.

R12T22: Heck slides a dagger out of his sleeve that has been hidden this hole time and crouches behind the wall, ready to stab whatever comes out now that Corbin is clear. "Corbin, get on the other side of the exit if you have time!"

He can get her weight, but he can't hold Snips on top of himself and still heft Maeni atop, let alone carry them together; he realizes without even stopping to grab Maeni. So, he moves away from the battle some with Maeni. Once he gets around the corner, Zoo realizes another obstacle he'll contend with .... the low ceiling from the obstacle of rubble to the south.

Come get Maeni out of here and guard her and Snips. I will help out with ranged attacks!" Glaring at the creature that harmed them, he sees the Corbin dropped it. Bangs viciously grasps for it's mind intent on getting repayment for what it's done, but its primitive mind is too alien for Bangs to establish a connection.
It takes a move action to set Maeni down, and a standard to do unwilling participant.

Zoo makes it to the wall, but is now badly wounded.

R3T9: Akbar holds his position, casts a spell, and shouts (noiselessly) again at his target (AO2), who takes 4 NL and is dazed.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T21-20: AO4 steps up to Snips, but before he attacks AO3 strikes at Snips first and crits her in the upper left arm for 22! :eek: Snips instantly drops. AO4 instead turns his attention to Bangs and hits the slender man in the chest for 8 mod. And now Bangs goes down as well, and his collective drops.

R4T19: AO1 heads out of the room, stopping and striking at Akbar as soon as he sees the red-bearded man. His frying pan gets through Akbar's magical defenses to slam the busker in the chest for 6. "Two out here," he calls. "A strange man and a bird-man with a crossbow."

R4T17: AO2 looks at the unexpected success and hits Zoo with her sap for 12 NL.

R4T16: Zoo, you just received a lot of pain by something slugging you in the head. The good news is that oddly brought you out of unconsciousness. The bad news is that it took you all of your turn to finish recovering. You are no longer unconscious, but you are prone. It's up to you if you want to play dead or try to be active. Playing dead means you have an effective DEX of 0. Even then, you'd have to try to Bluff (rolled by me) to fake them out that you are KO'd.
R4T15-14.5: Bangs and Snips, make CON checks to try to stabilize.

R4T11: Corbin, the battle has now spilled out into the kitchen where you are. At least the closest bogey doesn't have cover from doorways or the like. You have a durable bolt loaded. What do you do?

Akbar on deck, enemy survivors in the hole ...

R4T11: Corbin regards the closest opponent in frustration, dropping his crossbow, and raising his hands."This is pointless! We never were here to hurt you. Allow me to collect my wounded friends, and we'll leave. This will be nothing but a bad memory. "

R4T9: Akbar, what do you do while waiting a response to Corbin's plea?

All of the bogeys on deck and in the hole ...

R4T9: Akbar breaks away from the enemy and retreats out of the kitchen, through the old northwest orderly station, and almost to the door that leads to the long, slender passageway leading out.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T21: AO3 (guard) stumbles out of the prep room into the kitchen. AO1 (cook) yells at him, "Some devil-bearded, dark-skinned man just ran out that way."

"Well," huffs AO3, "I'm in no condition to run after him." AO3 stumbles up towards Corbin.

R5T20: "Look!" cries AO4 coming out and taking a big circuit east and north. "A big turkey you can cook! Ivory, get out here!" AO4 gets into a spot next to two fireplaces and attacks Corbin with a crowbar but misses.

R5T19: AO1 crosses the other way to come at Corbin from the west. His frying pan slams against Corbin's chain shirt because he tried to strike with the bottom flat. Realizing the problem, AO1 adjusts his grib so next time he'll hit with the side of the pan to focus the energy.

R5T17: AO2, sees Zoo stirring and he hears her whisper to him..."This is for your own good. If the others see you moving, they won't hit you with a sap."Zoo's conscious lapses again this time as he takes 8 NL.

R5T11: Corbin, the last of the four (AO2) comes out and flanks him. Corbin is now double-flanked in the kitchen, and his crossbow is on the ground by his feet. You know from the "big turkey" comment that ending this quietly is not how they want to play it. Akbar at least ran away and the four of your aggressors are more focused on you (it's not a secret that you have a dangerous-looking beak and claws; they're not retractable). What do you do?

R5T11: Corbin shrieks something unintelligible, then tries to leap from the middle of the madmen and dash down the hall towards Akbar. With the northern spaces all held (or having fireplaces in the way), Corbin mutters again and tries to go south, easily getting away from AO4. As he continues, the three others get an AOO on him (but none have flanking. Each and everyone entirely miss Corbin, not even grazing off of his armor. In continuing another few feet south he realizes that these guys are even more dangerous than he realized as AO3 gets another AOO against him, with this blow bouncing off of Corbin's armor this time. Now at the south wall of the kitchen Corbin tries to squeak by again, but AO3 - despite being staggered - sure has a lot in him as he finally connects with his crowbar against Corbin's head for 6. Continuing west now and getting to another door going south to the kitchen, AO3 attacks yet again and misses, losing steam. Corbin runs 10' into the room to the west.

R5T9: Just seeing Corbin coming into the room, Akbar waves to him to hurry, then casts a spell that creates smoke that will block vision. Corbin is now in this smoke, coughing (he is affected by the illusion, not that it will matter for long). Akbar bolts down the long corridor.

Corbin and Akbar, before I continue with initiative, what is your intention? To where are you withdrawing? Give your answers as in IC as character thoughts and/ or a quick shout to each other.
