R7T16: Iluvar takes a defensive stance and concentrates east of him, but detects no evil.

R7T19: Telgarana, what do you do? There is no chanting at this time, and there are three big spiders attacking Iluvar.

R7T19: Telgarana zooms north and then west along the arcade, and with a single strike kills/unsummons the spider as it disappears.

R7T9: Erima, what do you do? You currently sense the hostility inherent to The Scribe. Rezah and Fallon are in range, but the pillar screens them.

Move action toward East (at full move speed so 45'). Then if I can sense the enemy I'll move toward it, or if I can't sense it I'll move through the pillars in order to cover most of the place.

[lostsole31]

R7T9: Erima advances toward the east, before squeezing through the pillars and ending up next to the grease slick, sensing hostility from Rezah, Fallon, Iluvar, and something else behind the pillars by Iluvar.

R7T8: Rezah, hearing no callouts, steps east slightly before turning around and facing due west. "I have nothing!"

End Round 7, Begin Round 8...

R8T25: Fallon does a slight side step to flank a spider with Iluvar. She stabs at a spider, dispelling it.

R8T22: "Okay, everyone stop running around," calls The Scribe as he moves up by Erima and changing his fighting stance. "The caster is a summoner who has summoned garbage entities. Everyone ring Erima as she has the reach. Let's just fight the bulls*** that she summons and run her invisibility down. Either she will run away before then, or she will run out of summons and engage us and appear."

R8T21.3: The remaining spider recovers from its previous charge and bites at an untouchable Iluvar.

R8T21.21: The female casting voice is heard again. This time, you are sure it is now coming from somewhere to the west.

R8T16: Iluvar, what do you do? One spider remains.

R9T25: Fallon double moves to fly to the "back line."

R9T24: Once everyone is around, or at least close enough, Erima takes out a crystalline, wand-like item, and points it in a nearby empty space, making a single flour bag. "Now, just throw ... that ... around!"

R9T22: The Scribe, standing next to the burlap bag, picks it up and looks inside. He then looks up at Erima. "It's an empty bag. What am I doing with this?"

R9T21.1-.0: The chanting stops as another dretch appears some distance to the west. The dretch then begins moving forward before stopping.

R9T16: Iluvar, what do you do?

Attack (1d20+16)[23] Damage (2d8+12)[16]

[lostsole31]

R9T15: Telgarana moves up, but before she gets too close the dretch was readied and flatulates hideously, and a noxious green gas gets the entire area around it. Telgarana is too focused on her attack to be affected by the fumes and she gets to her target with a focused strike that hits it in the upper right arm, cutting through inches of fat before striking good muscle and bone for 9 mod.

R9T8: Rezah charges the dretch, ignoring the smell of the cloud, and scoring a gut slash that does 17 + (1d4 bleed).

End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

R10T25: Fallon delays ...

R10T24: Erima, you have your dorje of ectoplasmic creation in one hand, your greataxe in another. Your hostility sense notes Telly, Rezah, and the dretch hidden in the stink-cloud to the west. You also sense The Scribe, Fallon, and Iluvar around you. However, there is an unaccounted new "blip" of hostility that is to the southeast. What do you do?

The Scribe on deck, Iluvar in the hole ...

[silphael]

Letting her dorje fall to the ground, Erima grabs the bag of flour, and throws it at the edge of her hostility sense field, in the southeast.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Free action drop dorje, move action take bag, standard action throw it on the 3rd SE diagonal.

Attack - (1d20+4)[14]

[lostsole31]

R10T24: Letting her dorje fall to the ground, Erima grabs the bag of flour - or as she discovers, the empty flour bag - and throws it towards the edge of her hostility sense field, in the southeast. It is flimsy and empty and falls only 15' away.

R10T22: The Scribe looks at Erima with some sense of accidental indignation after she ripped the bag out of his hands (though he didn't resist). He thinks the better of saying anything, however, sensing she must be onto something. He darts south to the arcade and then east to stand over the empty flour-bag, and looking southeast at the wall, trusting in his senses. He switches back to his stance of awareness and then attempts a Hail, Milani! strike in that direction, doing a round, low, leg sweep, but doesn't hit anything.

R10T21: "Clever man," comes a thick-mouthed voice from that direction. "True, you are tougher than expected for my diversions to affect. So try THIS on for size!"

A bolt of lightning arcs out from right where The Scribe had attempted to attack. Somehow, The Scribe manages to dodge a lightning bolt from point blank. Fallon does the same thing ... then the massive Erima ... and then Iluvar! Standing there is that sinspawn, with a guisarme in one hand, and a wand in the other. "She" is dressed, almost a sultry humanoid woman but with the same hideous space of any other sinspawn.

R10T16: Iluvar, you now have a target. You see her a lot better than you did before. This is a lustspawn as the others were. She doesn't appear to be "monstrously" different, so expect the normal sinful bite. Either she is a different, elevated form of sinspawn, or given the casting of actual spells she simply has training that base sinspawn do not/ What do you do?

Dretch on deck, Telgarana in the hole ...

[Tippnick]

"Watch the bite!", Iluvar exclaims as he moves rapidly to get behind the creature in a flank.

Spoiler: Double move and acrobatics to avoid aoo

Double move: Iluvar will double move to skirt around the creature and move to it's SE side to be in a flank.

R10T16: "Watch the bite!" Iluvar exclaims as he moves rapidly to get behind the creature in a flank.

R10T15.1: Meanwhile, in the fog cloud, the dretch takes 3 bleed. It full attacks Rezah, but can't get past his armor.

R10T15: Telly, haste is no longer active. Outside of this cloud you heard a bolt of lightning. You guess the doppler-shift from Iluvar warning about a bite probably doesn't relate to the dretch, but the dretch is there in front of you and Rezah. What do you do?

R10T15: There's a dretch in front of Telly that really needs to not be there. A single strike is all that ends up being needed to dispel it. Unfortunately, the stinky cloud still exists, even when its dispelled creator is gone.

R10T8: Rezah looks at Telly, doesn't smile, but gives an emphatic nod before he heads out of the cloud, his armor making it piteously easy to track his movement as he clangs away.

End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

R11T25: Fallon takes wing, now 5' above the ground, and circles around and stabs with Silverfang, but a momentary blue shimmer shows that this lustspawn has magic protection that stops the blade.

R11T24: Erima, what do you do?

The Scribe, Lustspawn in the hole ...

[silphael]

Repositioning, Erima finally strikes at the formerly hidden creature.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Moving 1 SE then 4 E as a move action (avoiding to step into the grease even if skating protects against it).

Standard action, single attack with Risky Strike on the sinspawn.

Attack - (1d20+12)[31]
Attack - (5d6+21)[34]

[lostsole31]

R11T24: Erima repositions, wanting to avoid the grease but still skating over a little bit of it successfully, though he boots cut down on speed going through the slick. Still, she just manages to have enough remaining at the end to strike at the formerly hidden creature. Her axe bites into the lustspawn's chest for 35, a weird and vile ichor splashing out from the creature.

R11T22: The Scribe moves back into his flowing, dance-like stance as he steps back and then with a twisting thrust his ranseur briefly lights up a blue field of arcane force as the weapon effortlessly goes through it to stab her in the left lower leg for 13 + 5 fire. "She has mage armor!" he calls out.

R11T21: The lustspawn uses her wand to send a lightning bolt down the field at Rezah. The half-orc doesn't dodge at all, gets fully lit up, and doesn't take any damage. The lustspawn gives an unholy imprecation, dropping the wand, and then acrobatically tries to get out of the way. To be fair, her acrobatics are better than what the party could normally muster, but surrounded by so many enemies is tough for anyone. Erima's AOO hits against her mage armor; The Scribe stabs her in the left shoulder for 12 + 4 fire; Iluvar does an elbow drop on her right shoulder for 7; and Fallon fails to notice the opening in time. The lustspawn manages to speed away and into the stinking cloud for cover.

R11T16: Iluvar, what do you do? She is somewhere in the stinking cloud field.

"Nàlǐ! Xiàng nán shí yīngchǐ!"

Translation: "There! 10' to the south!"

Easily ignoring the cloud to chase down her quarry, Telly stalks to the south, finally seeing the creature in the filthy, fetid haze. She briefly charges the weapon and attacks, but the concealment of the greenish-yellow fog throws off her attack.

R11T8: Realizing this is a tougher, cannier opponent than expected, Rezah casts a protective spell on himself before moving closer to the fog.

End Round 11, Begin Round 12 ...

R12T25: Fallon flies just to the inside of the cloud, still vaguely seen by the others as she calls out, "Found her! Just northwest of me!"

R12T24: Erima, what do you do? You only sense the hostility inherent in The Scribe right now.
