    R3T18: Lilim spins around to catch it with her outside spinning heel for 10, and then double-thrusts with her claws with one getting through its shell for 6.

    R3T12: Gek'k's opponent looks like it's going to go for another attack on the lil' gecko, until it appears that its gnashing of mandibles and slashing of claws are merely death throes. It seems the blows Gek'k constantly landed on it has caught up to it.

    R3T11: Teofilo observes.

    R3T10: "Come Tzukkiz!" calls Hülya. "Come from your hallowed industries to fight chitin-to-chitin!"

    As she finishes calling, a giant ant the size of a pony, but with gold trim around the main segments on its thorax, comes into view on the opposite side of Lilim. In Celestial Hülya commands the ant to attack. With flanking via Lilim and some faint glow around it bites into the Nope for 11 (max) damage. The stinger then just barely hits, but hits brilliantly, for 5.

    R3T9: Dorit continues her rage-slam and pulps her bug.

    R3T6: The smaller solifugid turns on the large ant, shrieking and snapping wildly and in pain, and bites it for 7.

    R4T26: Gek'k continues pummeling the Nope until it is reduced to a quivering mass of goo and chitin.

    Then he throws up a little in his mouth.

    R4T24: Ichibod shoots a fire ray at the last monster and hits it for 6 fire, and it still manages to continue.

    R4T19: Rezah, there is one Nope remaining, and it is barely hanging in their. It is flanked by Lilim and Hülya's strange, summoned, giant ant. You can get in there and get in a last strike if you want. What do you do?

    The group sludges on through the swamp, and is likely to get to Brooäk, Gek'k's home village, by tomorrow. There really isn't any marching order, nor can there really be in the shifting and mixed terrain of the Mushfens, and the armored turtle known as Rezah really slows things down.

    Somewhere in the afternoon, the Scribe suddenly splashes out of the waist-deep water wildly to a small, muddy hillock. "Snake's nest! A lot of small snakes coming this way. Out of the water!"

    R1T17: The water teems with wriggling figures which come onto the hillock to surround and attack the Scribe. No single of the tiny snakes bite very deeply, but all told he still takes 3.

    R1T15: The Scribe shlops back 10' and then thrusts his ranseur through as many as he can. He manages to kill one or two, not nearly enough. "Don't let the numbers fool you! You can still cut and smash enough before they give up the fight."

    R1T14: Rezah, you are the one who slows everyone in the party. In your armor and in this terrain, you move a whopping, shlopping 5' per MA .... 10' a round. The good news is that to try to get to the more stable ground, the snakes are right next to you. On the other hand, you are now closer by 5'. There is no free 5' step. What do you do?

    R1T14: "Rezah smash!" He aims for the center of a writhing mass of snakes. The little buggers are so quick. Simply because there's a mass of them, he manages to cut one down, but is otherwise ineffective.

    Yup, your modifiers are, as updated on the sheet, correct.
    H
    R1T11: Gek'k, you happen to be on the other side of the mass of snakes, seeing as with your size you are desperate to get from high ground to high ground. They are right next to you. Unlike the others, you move about the swamps as easily as dry land. If you wanted to move, you could move around to the back end of the hillock on the other side of the tree and across a mossy log to the next little islet. The snakes are too tiny to get in AOOs. Or, you could stand your ground and pound away. What do you do?

    R1T11: Gek'k strikes at whatever snakes he can, pounding on 5 hp worth.

    R1T10: Teofilo says as frost forms around his webbed hand, "Snakes are cold-blooded creatures."

    He reaches out .... and other than a few flurries from his hand, absolutely nothing happens.

    R1T8: Lilim shoots a probing attack at the snakes, flinging forth her own ray of ice and cold for 5 cold, freezing a snake in place, and hurting another one or two that came in contact with that one.

    End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T17: The snakes, angered by the impact, move towards Gek'k. They are tiny enough (with no reach) that Gek'k is able to get a weak shot in for 4, enough to kill another snake. They swarm him and all of the various bites do 5, but Gek'k seems totally nonplussed by the fact there are so many and all around him. Perhaps this is because this is a common swamp encounter he's dealt with before. But with five bites there is another issue as Gek'k suddenly writhes in pain, losing 2 CON from poison!

    R2T15: The Scribe judges angle and thrusts through a mass of the snakes for 15, and then does it again for another 15. Many snakes were skewered in this, with a snake or two barely squirming in their death throes on the points of his ranseur, and the swarm is noticeably diminished.

    R2T14: Rezah, Gek'k is being swarmed. What do you do?

    R2T14: Rezah holds off for now, not wanting to accidentally strike the frogman in the tangle of snakes, especially since there doesn't seem to be that many left.

    R2T11: Gek'k, your weakness, even with monastic training and the tough external training of the martial arts taught you at the Society, has been internal fortitude. Now, being poisoned, it seems to be a cascading effect as you take another 1 CON. Your body is getting weaker and weaker, and so too is your ability to withstand the poison flowing through your system. The snakes are all over your lower body right now, hissing and biting. What do you do?

    R2T11: Gek'k realizes he needs to get out of this mess. He leaps straight up into the tree above him, spending a ki point to add to his elevation and hopefully add to his speed in his escape, while his natural ability as a grippli aids him in sticking and climbing the tree.

    R2T10: Teofilo tries again tries to freeze some snakes. Air condenses into sharp particles of ice that he shoots into the snakes for 8 cold.

    For all of his stealth, Kerrano's nose does him little good. The massive dire weasel slinks through the water before it launches a deadly assault.

    Surprise: The weasel launches out of the mud to bite Kerrano in his left calf for only 8, Kerrano's preternatural senses helping him from the full blunt of the surprise attack. What he can't do is shake the Scribe off his leg and takes blood drain for 3 CON.
    R1T26: Continuing to hold on, Scribe does 13 as he shakes violently and blood drain of 3 CON. With the massive loss of blood, Kerrano is already feeling weak.
    R1T12: Needing as much help as he can, the Kerrano shifts to his weretiger hybrid form, and tries desperately to tear himself from the massive weasel's grip, but to no avail.
    R2T26: Though the Scribe maintains his hold, his bite is not enough to cause more physical damage. However, he is still firmly attached and draws 4 CON from the weretiger assassin.
    R2T12: Again, Kerrano is desperate and scared, and instead of trying to free himself, the Chelaxian is willing to go to blows; but, as powerful as he is, he is no warrior and his opponent's lithe and long body just keeps rolling and twisting out of the way.
    R3T26: The hold is maintained, but again no damage. As before, though, having been attached previously still allows him to draw blood for 4 CON. Kerrano is almost drained.
    R3T212: Truly terrified for his life, Kerrano - who is no stranger to biting and holding with his own teeth - again tries to escape, but again fails for feeling faint of blood.
    R4T26: This time, perhaps because Kerrano is becoming lethargic, the Scribe tears open into the leg for 4, and does 3 CON. The blood loss is enough to kill him while Kerrano gives out a cry.

    R1T10: "Rezah, Teofilo, Fallon ... wake up! We have our killer!" Lilim calls.

    Lilim breaks out of the resin with a physical power rivaling that of the mighty Dorit. "It was always too good. Why the hell did you come back to us so soon after you found out your identity? You are like a small god, being as strong, fast, and smart as any of us. Now, I understand why. You're the lycan! You're the one that killed Kerrano, and now those two men that were with Helgath's crew. Now I know why Akima mentioned the possibility of us being on the dinner table!"

    She steps back a few feet from the Scribe.

    Everyone easily awakens.

    End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T26: Something happens to Lilim, her muscles growing heavy and eyelids getting heavier, but she gathers her will together and throws off the effect. It appears that the Scribe might have been dealing with something similar.

    R2T21: Teofilo bolts up and stands and picks up his lyre.

    R2T20: The cousin, already skittish, gets up and grabs his bow and quiver. "What's going on! What's going on!"

    R2T14: The son does the same and shouts, "It's come back fer us!"

    R2T13: "Ho! Everyone to the north end of the island!" calls the Scribe. He shakes his head. "No, Lilim, but you are the dangerous one within the group. You are a member of a house not truly of this quest. And of that house, the lord is a follower of a humanocentric religion, and his wife is a caller of creatures from the heavens. How they managed to be foolish enough to accept a scion of a truly sadomasochistic race ... one which daily reveals your inner evils, is only proof of your alien witchery. The Shard of Greed has affected you, and it isn't enough."

    With incredible speed The Scribe moves forward into the space provided and turns his body with a bent-elbow handstand. He kicks his feet over his head to strike Lilim in her throat for 6 mod NL. He swings back to both feet and his had darts forth, badly, with his fingers extended but sort of squished together along with his thumb to create the illusion of a break, but he slams his fingers right into Lilim's mithral breastplate under her blackjacket. He hisses faintly in pain. He then spins so he kicks Lilim in the back of the head with the sole of his foot for 5 mod.

    R2T12: "An ambush from the water!" says Brand to Gek'k, Rezah, and the cousins. He bolts across in a double-move. He manages to move at a speed that almost rivals that of Gek'k, and he gets around to the back side. He has his bow, and looks sort of confused. "Gek'k, Rezah? You better hurry to figure this one out!"

    R2T11: Helgath gets up with his bow and says, "Yessiree, that thing cain't get from us now y'all's here. Sun's comin' up and we gonna' avenge our boys! Giddap, woman!"

    R2T10: Lilim, it comes down to your strength and endurance vs. the Scribe's speed and tactics. He's hit you in the chin for a serious blow, the neck, and the head. He's not fighting to kill (yet), but he did just press those heritage buttons. Thing is, for all of your physical power everytime you've sparred he's always had just a hair more combat experience and his defenses are nearly impossible to overcome and you always lost. You focused more on destructive spells, and sort of reached a plateau on unarmed combat. To make matters more interesting, you are very sure that while you didn't hear any casting, that was definitely an attempt to put a powerful sleep enchantment on both of you.

    What do you do?

    R2T8: Gek'k hears the shouting. "Well this is certainly..."

    Gek'k rushes to the other side of the island.

    "Nothing can ever be straight-forward, can it...?" he mutters to himself as he moves.

    R2T7: Kurna gets up and grabs her bow.

    R2T2: Rezah hears the shouts and sees Brand and Gek'k bolt. [I am going to assume...] Rezah likewise heads back there in his heavy armor, drawing his scimitar as he goes. He, too, sees a very naked Scribe (though with a ring, a circlet, and boots) squared off against Lilim. You smell that Lilim is bleeding, and the Scribe smells particularly of swamp water as if he had just taken a bath in the lagoon.

    R3T26: A young girl's mellifluous voice is heard from the top of the hut as Fallon flies overhead. She casts a spell. "Scribe, let's find the truth of this. Stand down and let us figure out what is what, okay?"

    "A charm?" demands the Scribe incredulously. "Really? You could have just asked."

    R3T21: Teofilo instantly takes to the air. He plays his lyre and Lilim is healed of her bruises. "I'll just keep playing to heal one another until this is resolved."

    R3T21: "Resolved, hell!" yells the redneck cousin who shots his bow at the Scribe and misses.

    R3T20: "Kill him while he's in human form!" yells the son who likewise shoots.

    R3T13: "What you say kills the heart of me," says the Scribe. "But your voice carries sincerity. Allow me the dignity of getting dressed and we shall talk this out .... without charms."

    He grabs his robe and puts it on.

    R3T12: "Gek'k, it's your call," Brand says with a dagger readied to be thrown.

    R3T11: "No, monster. Yer killin' days is done." Helgath fires two arrows which are dodged with great agility.

    "Who in the Nine Hells are these guys?! Stop shooting!!"

    R3T10: Lilim, what do you do?

    R3T10: With no skill at figuring out others, just in destruction, the tiefling monastic steps back another five feet and readies magic missile just in case The Scribe tries to do anything stupid.

    R3T8: Gek'k decides the best thing he can do here is punch some swamp hicks, so an actual dialogue can occur. He moves to Helgath.

    heh...Swamp hicks, he thinks.

    "Put the bow down before I break it. With your face."

    If the hick does anything other than putting the bow down, even speaking, Gek'k will hit him. As hard as he can.

    R3T7: Kurna shoots an arrow at the Scribe, who in turn makes a quick dodge to the side. Lilim doesn't see the arrow in time to understand what the Scribe is doing, so she let's loose with a barrage of force bolts at the Scribe that all land for 11 force. She is one of the few people whose skills can overcome all of his fancy dodging.

    R3T2: Rezah, all heck is breaking loose.

    If you close on anyone, it would take a move action, but the ground is muddy enough that if you tried to charge anyone you risk falling. Obviously, tons of options available, but just wanted you to understand the aspect of movement.

    R3T2: No time for diplomacy, Rezah casts a very quick spell and yells, "EVERYONE JUST STOP! THE SCRIBE ALREADY SEEMED LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO BACK AWAY!"

    Though Brand and The Scribe seem to be unaffected by Rezah's incredible Intimidation (23), Fallon, Teofilo, Gek'k, Lilim, and the crew of Duck Dynasty instantly stop.

    Fallon looks like an admonished child, and Teofilo simply is impassive. The cousin and the son in no way want to anger the scary half-orc in the full plate armor.

    R4T13: The Scribe does stop, but gives Lilim the staredown. She doesn't back down, and it appears to be a contest of wills right now. The Scribe looks like he could pounce on her any minute, until his body suddenly relaxes and he drops to his knees, wearing nothing but his skirtted bottom and a bare chest. "I surrender until we determine the absolute truth."

    Brand grabs rope and moves over to the Scribe to tie him up (though has not done so yet). Helgath, Lilim, and Gek'k are still in a state of mild stop-shock from Rezah. (I also rule that this is enough to ruin Gek'k's readied action.) Kurna likewise does nothing, shocked that the monster gave himself up so easily.

    Rezah ponders the Scribe's actions for a moment. "Nobody here holds your honor or the warmage's above reproach. I sense no evil from you, Scribe. This must be what we discussed. Teofilo, you and I must pray on this." He nods to Brand to continue.

    The Duck Dynasty backs off, not sure what to do. Helgath holds his hand to Kurna, as if to advise her to just hold off on saying anything.

    Gek'k, Lilim, Rezah, what do you do as Brand finishes tying the Scribe with his hands behind his back?

    "Chief Daghop," says Gek'k with an attempt at hidden timidity. "I bring my friends not to attack, but to declare that we, too, want to see the Gray Maidens punished. They turned Mama Beballa against you, and if you help join the remaining troglodytes ...."

    "Tired of words. Attack!!" yells the chieftain. Well, it makes sense ... Gek'k is the only one who speaks the language, and he is the least equipped for the task of diplomacy. As can be seen. Besides, it's likely they respect strength over diplomacy.

    R1T29: "Don't breech-fight!" cries The Scribe. With truly superhuman reflexes he passes Gek'k and to the side, stabbing overhead of a frog to get a warrior at reach to just barely stab into its warty upper left arm for 22.

    R1T23: Fallon, likewise with great reflexes flies in and gets 10' in the air. She casts a ray of frost at a boggard who stands mouth agape at the sudden onrush. It gets hit right in the neck for 13 cold.

    R1T22: Gek'k, the way to warriors is blocked by three giant frogs (medium size, but that means they are intimidatingly bigger than you). What do you do?

    R1T22: Gek'k closes the moves diagonally next to the Scribe, striking out at the first, his fists a blur of violent force, enhanced by his monastic training. His first strike moves so quickly that trails of flames form that hits it for 4 + 7 fire. His body wrappings then glow lightly as he focuses martial power into them and punches with a bone-cracking 10. And with his mystic training, he launches yet another attack that drops the giant frog, leaving it to bleed out on the cavern floor.

    R1T17: Brand, with short sword and dagger in hand, zooms past everyone, even between two warriors to come around to stand to the side of the chieftain, but the latter is already prepared and as soon as the smaller comes in arm's reach he swings with his warhammer, which just clangs off of Brand. Brand, for his part, stabs Daghop in the side of the head after he swung down and was low, hitting for a suprisingly powerful (for such a small guy and a small weapon) for 7.

    R1T14-12: The boggard badly wounded by the Scribe lets out a loud, terrifying croak. Though it is in front of the ranseurer, Fallon in the air seems to be visibly shaken by such a horrid noise. Another charges the hole left by the fallen frog, but the Scribe tries to thrust forward to hit it as it does so. He has a bad grip, and the haft slides forward a foot and it is an awkward hold. Meanwhile, its attack with its morningstar hits with a crit to Gek'k's left knee that does 11. Yet another boggard lets forth a loud croak; even with Rezah's inspiring aura Teofilo is shaken this time. A frog 10' to Gek'k's right shoots forth its tongue to grab him, but the little monk is too fast for it.

    R1T11: Despite his fear, Teofilo flies in and up next to Fallon. He moves his hand in a pattern and shoots an icicle down at one of the warriors and hits for 6 cold. Not only does it seem that he has some skill at ranged attacks, but his comfort and confidence in the air seems to help negate some of the fear he is feeling.

    R1T10: Concentrating on the Shard of Greed, the bearer of this artifact allows the flipside of the power to emerge ... generosity. Her life force is only enough to sustain five of the seven members of the party. She enhances the Scribe, herself, Brand, Rezah, and Fallon so that time slows down around them.

    R1T9: A giant frog hops a little to the side to get to the bouncing morsel with its tongue, but with its best attack the frog just can't get to the little grippli 10' from it.

    R1T7: Rezah, the world is in a strange haze around you .... not enough to truly effect your vision, but enough for you to judge efficiency of movement. You can get to any frog up ahead (but you can't charge because Gek'k/ the Scribe are in front of you 15' away) and still attack with movement and it still won't feel like a full hustle.

    R1T7: Rezah rushes forth at twice his normal, armored combat speed to interpose himself between Gek'k and one of the giant frogs. He compensates for the movement to ground himself, but allowing his scimitar to retain its momentum as it back cuts to almost hobble the frog, and doing an amazing 19, nearly dropping the thing with one stroke.

    You can only get an extra attack when performing a FAA. Using a MA of any kind means you can only perform a single attack, as with any SA. You still can make a 5' free move when using a FAA. So, the fluff is that either you have extended your movement, or the acceleration and necessary deceleration requires compensation that even though there is some time, you need that to right yourself before committing to the one attack.

    As always, this is an extra attack in a FAA sequence, and haste (and the like) never provides an extra action .... ergo, no casting a second spell.

    R1T6: The last of the boggard warriors steps over beside its fellow that is facing the ranseurer with the bad grip, and it lets out a loud croak of its own, but with no apparent effect.

    End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T29: The Scribe steps back 5', adjusts his grip, and then thrusts forth his ranseur into the chest of the boggard in front of him for 18 (max) damage and dropping it.

    R2T23: Scared, Fallon casts a spell (shield) on herself.

    R2T22: Gek'k adjusts his stance and forms more fire around his fist. He throws forth a single powerful blow in the monster's stomach for 8 + 7 fire. So fast is his strike, though, that he is able to piston forth another strike, though the body wrap's magic has already been expended with the first strike. This time, it is simply a fist that lands at the same place on the boggard's gut for 7, and likely starting internal hemorrhaging.

    R2T21: This time, Chief Daghop gives forthe a terrifying roar ... as much a croak as the others, but more intense, but one which definitely puts him into a rage. Despite feeling some inspiration from Rezah, even Lilim jumps at the sound is unsteady. Fallon screams in fear, and Teofilo is taken aback with his green-tinged face losing color.

    R2T17: Brand is all over and around Chief Daghop. It is as if the little mithral clockwork is trained (or loves) to fight bigger opponents. He jumps and clips the chief in the head with his short sword for 7, comes low to stab him in the left lower arm with his dagger for 4, a stab with his short sword is blocked by armor, but Brand compensates and comes back for a crit in the chief's lower spine for 13, and it is obvious that it has affected him more than just that. The chief lets out a howl of pain and anguish! Meanwhile, Brand speaks, and though made of metal, there is a sense that he really enjoys his "work." His voice doesn't sound right, though, making squeaking and crackling sounds, and no one has a clue what he is saying ... if anything.

    R2T13.5-12: Gek'k's opponent can't catch the hasted grippli. Another boggard moves in on the Scribe's forward right side, but the Scribe's acrobatics foils it, even as the Scribe deflects a frog's tongue.

    R2T11: Absolutely terrified of these opponents, especially that chief, Teofilo flies back into the tunnel and down that path.

    R2T10: Lilim, make no mistake, the battle may seem to be going your way, but these crazy frog creatures and their madness are terrifying. You are shaken, but no opponent is next to you. What do you do?

    R2T10: Though a warmage, Lilim has no desire to get too close to anything, and not being much of a spell-archer she targets the one opponent not physically engaged, the frog 15' away from her that tried to tongue the Scribe. She casts a spell, and a searing beam of heat seeks the amphibian and burns it for 18 fire.

    R2T9: The frog is badly, badly burned, but a barking command from the chief and the thing manages to continue. It bounds towards Lilim in wounded-animal anguish. But as it moves past the Scribe, he spins and kicks it for 8, dropping it.

    R2T7: Rezah seeks to put the "guard dog" out of its misery, but his first attack is miserable and skips off of the warty hide, but the second attack entirely disembowels the frog, cutting it instantly and arterial bleed gushing out, and all of the giant frogs are down. He steps back and to the side so that he is now cattie-corner to Gek'k's bleeding boggard.

    R2T6: A boggard steps to Scribe's side and is easily blocked.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T29: The Scribe steps back 5', leaving a gap open for the boggard that moved up a little bit ago to have 10' space to Gek'k. The Scribe hits the one that was in front of him for 14 in the chest and then the groin for 13. The boggard is barely on its feet, but he hits it a third time for 15 in the chest and it falls.

    R3T23: Fallon, like Teofilo screams in terror and flies down the tunnel from which you came.

    R3T22: Gek'k smiles predatorily as he closes to strike the last boggard, focusing all his energy into the single attack into the side of its chest for 6 + 5. To the boggard's nearly dying credit .... it still stands.

    R3T21: Chief Daghop takes a mighty swipe and slams it into Brand's right elbow with a loud, CLANG!! Brand looks at him, and in the clockwork mithral face, there is a look of smugness. He says something with the same strangness of sparking from his mouth, but with the language being slow, ponderous, and sounding like metal plates laboriously scraping together. It only takes the time-span of one word, though.

    R3T17:
    Brand says something else, but gesturing to himself with his blade. This time instead of using just his short sword, Brand stabs him through the chief's left arm for 7, cuts along the neck with the dagger for 5, seems to miss with his short sword, but only to stab him powerfully in the right calf for 8 (max).

    R3T13: Gek'k's opponent bleeds enough (3) that his vision grows cloudy and he drops to his knees, drops his morningstar, then slumps over slowly.

    R3T10: Lilim? Only one boggard standing, on the far side of Scribe. After that, it's the Chief being fought by a mithral dervish that is just bedeviling the hell out of the ever-increasingly raging bogg. What do you do?

    R3T7: Appreciating the clockwork's desire for one-on-one combat, Rezah briefly considers letting him continue. It is more important, however, that the infidel be dispatched and let duels be duels. Rezah charges the chief since the other boggard is besieged by enough of Jolly's allies, and his scimitar is fouled briefly in Chief Daghop's very fine hide armor.

    R3T6: The boggard is easily blocked by teamwork parrying from a dizzying spin from the academic and hard swishing blocks from Gek'k.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T29:
    The Scribe sidles around to get some distance to the last boggard guard while making sure Gek'k is free enough. He stabs deep through the humanoid's left knee and the latter gives out a loud croaking cry of pain as he suffers 32, dropping it instantly and he folows it up with a thrust to its stomach for 17. The wide tines of his ranseur are obviously caught in its stomach and he rips his weapon out. The obviously spitted thing goes flying, against the same side wall as you entered, and the Scribe has to step on a long string of intestine to extricate his weapon.

    R4T22: Gek'k, there is only the enemy - the chief. From your vantage, the most direct route would be to move right up to Jolly's right and the chief would be to your FWD-Left. What do you do?

    R4T22: Gek'k, moves to the optimal position and strikes the chief in the stomach for 8.

    R4T21: In a fury he swings at this newcomer but Gek'k is too quick for him.

    R4T17: Brand only steps to the side 5' to now flank the chief with Gek'k. He is now truly a dervish ducking and and around and back to position. His fighting style is entirely adapted to making use of a flanker while fighting bigger opponents. Instead of fighting with just the short sword, he now includes the dagger. He thrusts with his short sword deep into its the little abdomen for 12, slashes across the inner tendon of the left elbow for 12 with his dagger, then climbs up the chief's already lower spine with two vertebrae out, and he then - having mounted the chief - stabs straight down into the brain pan. The chief's eyes grow quite wide and he begins to quiver. He then begins to buck and shake in death throes, with Brand holding onto his sword as a rancher breaking a horse. Finally, with a crack Brand is thrown clear. He tumbles into a tight ball of mithral before popping up into standing position a few feet away, as the chief finally just face-plants onto the ground.

    Combat Ends ...

    One Boggard bleeds out to death, and unless anyone stops him, Brand perfoms coup des graces on all boggards.

    Any questions?

    R1T30: The Scribbler's long manages to squeeze through the hole it created. It/He is now facing the party and giving a hissing growl. For those who knew him as Speckled Antelope before the visual curse was lifted, you now see why his "fake look" as Speckled Antelope was as it was. The hair patterns on this massive mustelidae's body are similar to the coloring on Speckled Antelope's skin (but looks better and makes more sense as an animal). The only thing different is that his eyes are still violet, instead of he original brown.

    R1T27: Fallon instantly takes flight to the top of the cavern ceiling. "What do we do? What do we do?!"

    R1T24:

    Gek'k, you are faster and can attack several more times, but his geometric defense and still-admirable agility often usually bring striking a blow difficult for either of you. You have spent your life in combat form, so you are more practiced, but his raw strength and durability gives him an ability to outlast most. Then, counter that as well with the fact that with your body-hardening exercises you can shrug bits of NL damage here and there to do quite well. Simply put, you often spar to a draw.

    Now, it is hard to tell what might happen if you actually come to blows. His teeth are far more deadly, and his great size probably yields significantly greater power and durability. You don't really know anything about lycanthropes beyond the part that everyone knows: harmed by silver weapons. There are three ways this is likely to go. First, Scribble turns around and runs deeper back into the tunnels, perhaps to feed on troglodytes. Second, this group of humanoids facing off against it with the bright light. Third, try to get past you to somewhere outside the caves. But as a combatant The Scribe was already a bipedal monster with a mind. The gods only knows what is in front of you now.

    And so, Lilim begins to slowly and systematically sizzle the first. The entire roofing structure is destroyed (the majority of it not dissolved so much as the supports being destroyed and the rest falling to the "floor), and most of the wall - enough to see into. The hut does indeed seem to be partially submerged, but with living area for a boggard or two built on a weak shelf above the mud.

    The second, however, has a boggard popping up out of the mud in front of what is likely its hut. It practically steps from the mud onto the trail with an incredible ease. In its hand it bears a muddy knife. It is not quite as ready as it would like to be, with the sleepy not fully removed from its semi-mudcaked eyes.

    Surprise Round ...

    T27: Fallon, who is flying around bored overhead, must have seen the bubbling first from her aerial view (about 20') away. She flies down to over the roof of his(?) hut and shoots him right in the groin with a cold spell for 13.

    T26: Alianium moves such that he is now 10' from the boggard and stabs it through the left shoulder for 16.
