Council of Thieves [Battle Book]

[lostsole31]

R19T18.3: Aldo only makes a single, dedicated strike .... and it pays off as he feels a mindblade smash the thing for 5, not enough for the sound of bones to clatter to say he hit, but Aldo doesn't think about that as even prone his strike helps him push away from the enemy before he is finally back on his feet.

R19T8: Enveloped in the dark with no idea what's happening outside the sounds of combat, Dusha keeps with the current plan. She continues to retrace their path into the crypts, trusting her memory to see her back into the light. She passes by Erasmus, feeling past him, gets past the doorway to the far southwest, then up the stairs. She gets up to the area above, and she sees a torch having been lit and put in a sconce, and Janiven Key covering the door with her bow.

R19T7: Shadows and shape affect the bright light at the end of the hallway so that Aldo sees that someone came into the hallway from the south of him. Aldo is now being pincered.

End Round 19, Begin Round 20 ...

R20T24: Erasmus makes his way upstairs. While Janiven wasn't too alarmed by Dusha - very light wound and magic rags swinging like they were - it is a much different story with Erasmus. "I left her," he sobs to Janiven. "I left Tia or I would have been killed, gods forgive me."

R20T23-22: The amber tiefling with Erasmus' starknife still stuck in him opens the door and sees Flycatcher right there. He cuts at the vigilante with a dagger but finds nothing but air is shorn for his effort. At the same time, a fire bolt whooshes by Flycatcher's head from the leader-tiefling.

R20T21-20: Aldo ... the sound of a crossbow being loaded and shot to the north, a woman crying out in pain, a body falling, and something wood-and-metal clattering. Then, the sound of a crossbow being loaded (again? different? can't tell) followed very shortly by something smacking and deflected by the leggings of Aldo's parade armor.

R20T19.5: Flycatcher, not that it matters for you, but there is light again. You already saw Erasmus and Dusha leave. What do you do?

R20T19.5: The Flycatcher dashes away from the door and after his allies. He manages to just get up to the church above, where Dusha, Erasmus, and Janiven are.

R20T19.3-18.6: There is a dreadful clacking of bone against stone as the wolf skeleton to north of Aldo must have fumbled. Aldo hears someone to the south around the corner talking talking loudly in an unknown language.

R20T18.3: Aldo, you hear other shuffling to the north - have heard it, in fact. In the most twisted sense, the incompetence of the wolf skeleton just might be allowing you to live longer. Meanwhile, there is someone south of you as well, so you are flanked. What do you do?

R20T18.3: Now on his feet, Also runs away from the dogs, sliding past whatever was behind him in search of the rest of his party. By the grace of the frickin' GODS, Aldo just makes it past whomever is in his way and beyond, though a body at the end of the hall slows him down as well, but he manages to (with a double move) get into the radius of light to see Tia's fallen form, the area lit by a sunrod, a tiefling coming out of a secret entrance, and the leader tiefling. Out of the frying pan ...

R20T13: Upstairs, Janiven notes the panicked faces. "Dusha, do you have some light source you can give me?"

R20T11: Someone is heard moving up the stairs from below.

R20T9: A badly wounded tiefling (yellow) comes out of the secret door and closes on Aldo.

R20T8: Dusha, what do you do? Note that Janiven is awaiting for response and/or action, but someone is heard on the stairs.

R20T8: "Didn't think to grab it, don't have one now." Dusha manages to gasp between panting breaths while stepping back from the stairs a few feet. "If any of you are fit to fight, we may be able to hold the stairs. If not, time to keep running!"

R20T7: A badly wounded tiefling comes down from the western passageway to stand over a fallen hell puppy and thrusts at Aldo, his deflects with both of his weapons.

End Round 20, Begin Round 21 ...

R21T24: Erasmus leaves the scene, as he is in no condition to keep fighting.

R21T23: The leader gives a two-tone whistle. He then moves up and throws a bolt of fire right into Aldo's back for 5 fire.

R21T22: The amber tiefling comes around the corner and just barely closes to throw a claw out that smacks Aldo in his head for 6.

R21T19.5: The Flycatcher keeps pace behind Dusha and snaps a quick summary to whomever Dusha was speaking. "Two wolf skeletons and five tieflings. One's a caster."

He readies his blade and peers down the stairwell hoping to see another Child on their way, but it is a tiefling that is right behind him. The Flycatcher stabs out in response, but as it was reflexive and less readied, he misses.

R21T19.3: A wolf skeleton comes tearing around the corner, passing the tiefling Aldo is engaged with. Aldo seizes the chance and conks the think on the head, shattering the skull and turning the rest of the wolf-skeleton to dust!

R2T1T18.6: A tiefling emerges from the secret door and closes to Aldo to stab Aldo in the lower arm - right at the vein - for 8. The shock of that and his other wounds is too much for Aldo and his world goes dark.

R21T18.3: Aldo, your life blood is spilling out. Roll a stabilization check.

R21T13: Janiven calls out, "Flycatcher, withdraw!" and then she is out after Erasmus.

R21T11: The tiefling facing off against Flycatcher tries some fancy swordwork. It isn't enough to fake the vigilante out, but he underestimates the accuracy of the swordsman in basic form as Flycatcher gets stabbed in the crook of the left elbow for 3.

R21T8: Dusha, because of the layout of the stairs, only Flycatcher is in the "nook" facing downstairs. The best Dusha could do (if she doesn't try to leave) is attack across a corner (to which the tiefling has cover). She cannot see and attack at reach. What does she do?

Your indomitable presence no longer matters, and you can no longer use Phalax Fighter (which just expired anyway).

Whether it was because of testing fate .... or maybe a sliver of the light escaped ... or even that the door creaked a little, but Purple turns her head and shouts, "Intruders! Wake up!"

R1T19: The Flycatcher lets out a sigh at being detected so quickly. He uncovers the lit dagger and tosses it at the face of the guardian Bastard. The dagger hits her in the left knee instead (Janiven was in the way) for 3. While it flies, the Flycatcher rushes forward and draws his rapier, while getting into stance.

R1T18: Green (who Flycatcher now sees) wakes up, stands up, picks up shortsword and steps forward a little.

R1T17: Dusha, Radigan senses that there is danger and squeaks in nervousness!

R1T16: Erasmus moves down quickly and fails to hit Purple with his rapier, the wayfinder around his neck giving forth light, which now means ....

R1T15: Janiven, now able to see, shoots a sitting Dravano in his left hand for 18.

R1T14: Brown (male) wakes up, stands up, picks up short sword, and steps forward.

R1T13: Hyrum moves past everyone and stands just inside the basement (just past the door), and takes a quick vial of something as Flycatcher sees a wobbling field around Hyrum (though only briefly).

R1T12-6: Several enemies go, the highlights of which are ... Yellow (m) takes out his short sword and gets behind Flycatcher to graze his left hand for 4. Dravano roars in pain as he stands and closes. Pink takes a circuitous route while taking out her short sword to end up flanking Flycatcher, but the little guy brilliantly deflects the blade. Purple concentrates carefully and touches her shirt, and from that ..... Darkness falls!

R1T4: "Dusha, do not be offended, but I am going to put a spell of protection on you as I feel you are most vulnerable," Dusha hears Arael say. He intones a spell (which she recognizes as protection from evil) and she feels a protective warmth when he feels a round and touches her arm. He is then heard moving away.

Downstairs, movement is heard coming down the stairs.

R2T21: Dusha gives an invisible nod of thanks to Arael as the sounds of combat start to echo upwards, resigning herself to this having already started poorly. She herself casts her own spell, the familiar weight of a warding joining the warmth of Arael's, and moves down to try and get a better look at what is going on. She doesn't get as far as she can before there is a tangible wall of darkness ending right about where the bottom of the stairs would be.

R2T19: The Flycatcher scans the area before locking on to Dravano. "I count nine of them, but kill this Bastard!" he shouts using both senses of the term while trying to drive Dravano out of the darkness at swordpoint. He stabs Dravano in his left gastroc muscle in his calf for 27, dropping him.

R2T18: Green runs across and opens the door to the west, shouting a warning in Infernal.

R2T16: Erasmus steps towards the eastern wall, fumbling in the dark. Yellow tries to get a cheap shot on him, but has to adjust because of Dravano's sudden fall. As luck would have it, yellow pulls a muscle for 4 STR with a loud cry of pain. Erasmus continues slowly south and gets to the edge of the darkness. Enough that he stabs red/blue in the right upper arm for 11. "Continue south!" he calls. "There's a pocket down here where the darkness isn't."

R2T15: Janiven takes Erasmus' advice and does that, drawing her wakizashi as she goes. Red-blue attacks her, but Janiven was already defensive with her blade, and has a better sixth sense for danger then the rest of you.

R2T14: Brown steps forward and grazes Erasmus' neck for 4.

R2T13: Hyrum doesn't go anywhere. Instead, he seems to concentrate. In doing so, his skull becomes massively hydroencaphalic at first .... hair grows in everywhere ... tusks grow from his ... snout? .... large enough to look dangerous. Dusha only sees a vague shadow of this as Hyrum is just inside the darkness, but Flycatcher's darkvision monochromatically catches the change. He takes out a dagger.

R2T12-6: Yellow attacks Flycatcher, but blades deflect. Pink stabs Flycatcher in his left quad for 5. In attacking Janiven, red-blue's sword is thrown enough offline that she stabs herself in the leg for 5. Blue engages Flycatcher, but misses. Red also misses him. Purple (source of darkness) stands, but Flycatcher stabs her in the back of the right thigh for 8. Now on her feet, she stabs Flycatcher in his left hand for 11.

R2T4: Arael, using quick little calls-and-response with Flycatcher, casts a spell on Flycatcher. It's not a healing spell, and Flycatcher doesn't know what it is.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T22: A wolf skeleton speeds into the room and right up to Erasmus and Janiven.

R3T21: Dusha, all that stuff that was narrated? You don't really know any of it because it takes place in the darkness beyond. You just hear a big battle raging and voices. What do you do?

R3T21: "Or we could *not*." Dusha snarls in response to Erasmus' shout. "Wandering into the dark like those looking for death is what caused half of us to find it last time! Here by the door they at least don't have their numbers." Still, she reached out and put a hand on the back of the porcine shadow in front of her. "I will follow you," she murmurs, "assuming you at least can see in this murk."

"Not at all," mutters Hyrum.

[lostsole31]

R3T19: The Flycatcher fakes to one side to draw a reaction from the darkened tiefling. The moment an opening appears, he sends a wild stab at them and draws some of their life force into himself. He steps carefully to the east, not willing to risk his back to the Bastards' blades. Purple falls, and Flycatcher gets 8 healing. Also in an odd twist, she fell forward onto the item she had darkened, and in doing so obscures the darkness field as surely as someone hiding a magically lit dagger with a cloak!

R3T18: Green moves forward to Janiven and stabs at her wildly.

R3T17: Remember the spellcasting bossman from before? Dusha might not have seen him, but I know Flycatcher did. Well, he enters from the door to the west. He casts a spell, with a faint warm glow around the fallen Dravano, though no actual visible healing.

R3T16: Erasmus steps north out of the flank he was in. He attacks the wolf skeleton, making up for the type of weapon he wields against the bony creature by putting as much power forward as possible. The thing practically explodes from impact, disappearing in a scorch mark.

R3T15: Janiven maintains a defensive stance, surrounded as she is. She attacks green twice, with the first attack deflected by armor and the second missing before she steps after Erasmus.

R3T14: Brown (male) tries to fake out Janiven and stabs but it is blocked.

R3T13: So, the first thing that should be noted is that Hyrum's body is ... Hyrum's .... but is head is now that of a hideous, gray-furred boar with big tusks! He steps in ... with Dusha following ... and with his dagger performs a coup de grace on Dravano the Digger!

R3T12-7: Yellow stabs at Flycatcher and steps back with their pulled muscle. Another wolf skeleton rushes in to attack Janiven. Pink steps forward to attack Flycatcher. Red-blue takes 1 bleed, and that is enough for them to drop. Blue steps in, standing over Dravano, to engage Janiven. The amber tiefling from before also enters after their leader, and casts a spell at the boar-headed man, but the boar-headed man is too stubborn to be controlled. Red steps up, straddling the fallen tiefling Flycatcher dispatched, stabbing Arael in his right hand for 5.

R3T4: Arael puts his sword into his shield hand and concentrates, but not with prayer to Iomedae. Instead, it is unknown words to unknown spirits. Unfortunately, it seems his concentration fails him as his spell fizzles.

R4T19: The Flycatcher, in an effort to aid Arael, jukes the red tiefling before swatting at their weapon, and disarming it, and then getting a quick stab to her belly for 15.

R4T18-17: Green attacks Janiven, but is blocked. The leader steps forward slightly and casts a spell at the hog-headed Hyrum. This time, Hyrum is not so lucky as his muscles seize and he is paralyzed in place!

R4T16: Seeing that Hyrum is really vulnerable to a possible CDG from B, Erasmus continues the ferocity of his attack at Blue this time, only for his blade to be stopped by studded leather.

R4T15: Janiven will switch from defensive to offensive to attempt the same against blue, concentrating as she had before. Her wakizashi cuts the female tiefling's left lower leg for 13, and then scores a line across her belly for 9, but that is enough to drop her!

R4T14: Brown fails to score a flanking hit against Janiven.

R4T13.5: Dusha, Hyrum was paralyzed by a hold person spell. If an enemy can step in, they can slit his throat and he could do nothing but watch. Luckily, for right this second, Hyrum is only threatened by a creature that doesn't know how to tactically take advantage of the situation (the skeleton-wolf). What do you do?

R4T13.5: Dusha grimaced at her companion's sudden predicament, glancing between the bastard that'd cast the spell and the bastards close enough to stab her companion. Sighing, she decides to deal with the immediate problem first. Stepping forwards and trusting her spells to protect her .... she concentrates, and her spell fails.

R4T13: Hyrum snorts angrily as he shakes off the effects of the spell. He sees that the only place for him to go requires him to get past a gauntlet of dangerous tiefling swordsman. "I need room!" he shouts while delaying.

R4T12-7: Yellow (the one with a pulled muscle) attacks Dusha, but barely manages to stop from stabbing his own ally. The wolf skeleton reacts to the presence of new meat and snaps at Dusha. Pink & Flycatcher fence. The amber tiefling casts a spell, and an arcane bolt shoots forth to hit Flycatcher in the right lower arm for 2 force. Red and Arael fence.

R5T19: The Flycatcher tries to get Red to over extend again so he can finish her off. She seems to canny for the halfling's footwork, but he is still accurate enough to stab her in the upper right arm for 6, the shock and speed of which is enough to drop her. Unfortunately, he spent too much focus on his feint attempt, and can't step into where she fell.

R5T18: Green fails to fake out Janiven and that led to a very poor attack.

R5T17: The leader goes over to the woman that Flycatcher just dropped, touching a healing wand to her for 2. She is still unconscious.

R5T16: Erasmus concentrates and casts a spell on himself for protection.

R5T15: Janiven steps away from Erasmus - and out of being flanked. She uses deceptive swordwork and then stabs Brown below the right shoulder where the upper part of the lung is for 13.

R5T14: Brown tries to return the favor. His fakeout is brilliant. His attack? Less so, as he pulls a muscle for 3 STR.

R5T13.5: Dusha, having prepared for this contingency, concentrates again while casting words of power and making strange gestures. Her hand is limned in a ghostly blue radiance. She tries to touch the wolf-skeleton but it is too fast for her.

R5T12-7.5: Dusha manages to pull back from her focus on the wolf-skeleton as yellow thrusts at her. The wolf skeleton has notice of her but wildly misses; a real wolf would have sprained itself. Pink scores a hit against Flycatcher's left elbow for 9. The amber tiefling casts another spell that has an arcane bolt slamming Flycatcher for 5 force.

R6T19:The Flycatcher grunts in pain after the combined assault of the Bastards. He falls back to stand next to Hyrum while drawing a stone from his pocket. He hurls the stone at the amber tiefling's feet and the stone erupts with an incredibly loud report. He then resumes his duelist's posture. "Sorry, Butcher. Standing room only."

R6T18: Green does deceptive swordwork (not really) and stabs Janiven, her chain shirt barely catching the blade.

R6T17: The leader uses his wand to touch Red again, this time for 4. This is enough to bring her to consciousness. The leader then repositions to be by Dusha.

R6T16: Erasmus steps right into the spot where Flycatcher was a second ago, he calls for his sister to help cure the halfling, but in doing so the spell fizzles instead.

R6T15: Janiven does her own fancy swordwork to mystify Brown, but the threat from Green throws off her attack.

R6T14: Brown tries to acrobatically step into the area held by his bleeding teammate (red-blue) but makes himself open and Janiven stabs him in the gut for 12, dropping him.

R6T13.5: Quickly becoming surrounded by swords and teeth aiming to spill her guts on the ground, Dusha takes another swipe at the dog while worrying at her rags. Some of the energy of the spell goes into the wolf as Dusha backs up until she has a back against the wall.

R6T13: Now with a space to go, Hyrum takes a drink of something and then his muscles enlarge and grow and he becomes even more monstrous as he hulks forward.

R6T12-8: Yellow attacks Hyrum and fails. The wolf skeleton turns to run and Janiven tries to leap upon it to end it but makes a catastrophic failure as she knocks herself unconscious! Hyrum's gore succeeds where Janiven may have just accidentally killed the party, as the gore smashes into the wolf skeleton for 7 mod, though not enough to destroy it as it disappears through the door to the west. Pink fails to strike Erasmus.

R6T7.5: The amber tiefling casts a spell towards Hyrum and calls out, "Don't attack me!" before he moves south and then hooks north to be by Dusha. "Nobody else attack the pig-man!"

Hyrum's porcine head snorts, but it is unknown just what that means.

R6T7: Red tries to stand. Erasmus stabs her for 12, and she slumps back to the ground. Arael also struck her at the same time, killing her.

R6T4: Seeing Janiven in grave peril, Arael concentrates for a spell but to his horror the spell fails. So, he brave the gauntlet and heads to Janiven to try and protect her from those who might try to cut her throat. The tiefling rogues miss him but the leader's morningstar catches Arael in the upper right leg fully for 12.

R7T19: The Flycatcher goes through his mental index of tips for social interaction. Then he lunges forward and swats at Pink's weapon, easily spinning it out of her grasp with an envelopement, which unconsciously pulls her forward, and then Flycatcher stabs her along the side of the neck for 16. That was refreshing, and gave Flycatcher the time needed to reset himself for another exhange in combat.

R7T18: Green attempts a coupe de grace on Janiven, and only Arael is there to stop her. Arael valiantly attacks, but Green is readied for it and parries the blade before falling on Janiven with her short sword to do 9 with an auto-crit. It is not known if Janiven is dead or not, but it sounded like when she was stabbed that the point of the short sword hit stone under her body.

R7T17: The leader touches the tiefling under Hyrum's feet, using the wand to heal her of 5, enough for her to awaken, and forcing Hyrum back.

R7T13.5: Her back against the hulking, porcine form of the pig man, Dusha snarls at the spellcasting tiefling and mutters, "Thank you for the instructions, darling." before half-turning and slapping Hyrum ineffectually with her free hand. Hoping the wards she'd cast on herself will hold, Dusha then turns her back fully on the bastards as she darts past Hyrum to the relative safety of the entranceway.

R7T13: Hyrum stabs downward with his dagger to hit Blue in her head with a dagger for 11, making her go unconscious. He then gores the fallen tiefling woman in the gut for 6.

R7T12: Yellow grazes Erasmus in his left calf for 4.

R7T7.5: The amber tiefling looks at the savage, boar-headed man an says, "The witch just attacked you. Kill her."

He then turns to look at Arael, concentrates carefully and casts a spell, following it up by saying, "Pull out of combat. I want you safe."

R7T4: "When I have spilt whatever passes in you as blood, I shall," says Arael with a grim-set jaw. Arael then pauses to concentrate, but again whatever spell he was preparing fizzles out.

End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

R8T19: "It's ok Butcher, that was just a love tap." the Flycatcher calls out. Meanwhile, he keeps up his confounding footwork, and stabs at Pink to hit her in the upper right lung while sending a wave of healing energy (9) into Janiven, seemingly to fully heal (but not awaken) her. The Flycatcher only hopes he's not too late. For her part, Pink falls.

R8T18: Seeing that healing took hold of the fallen woman, Green snarls and tries to perform a coup de grace again. Arael tries to break her sword but she evades that and again falls on Janiven with her blade for an unknown total effect.

R8T17: The leader tiefling steps away from the angry Iomedaean cleric and then sends a fire bolt towards Flycatcher, catching the vigilante in the upper chest for 7 fire and dropping him, his rapier clattering to the ground next to him.

R8T16: Erasmus steps down to the amber tiefling and thrusts his rapier powerfully into its left lower leg for 10 mod.

R8T13.5: Dusha, what do you do? You still have chill touch on your hand.

Hyrum on deck, Yellow in the hole ...

R8T13.5: Trusting that the spellcaster's words wouldn't have Hyrum trying to strike her, Dusha steps up to hopefully ward the tieflings away from the downed Flycatcher and swipes at one of them with her spell-wrought hand, slapping him on the left hand for 6 NE + 1 STR.

R8T13: Before Hyrum acts, the amber tiefling says, "Depart this battle."

The warthog-headed man regards him and nods. He withdraws up the stairs.

R8T12: Though enervated, the tiefling uses its agility to fight, so Dusha's spell and its previous pulled muscle - while annoying - does affect its ability to wage violence. Yellow fails to feint Dusha, and then fails to connect.

R8T7.5: The amber tiefling seems more than pleased with itself that its spell completely removed the strongest-looking enemy from the field of battle. It takes out a dagger and slashes at Arael.

R8T4: Arael concentrates on a spell badly yet again. He takes a step towards the wall to minimize flanking, and then tries to take out a potion bottle, ducking green's sword.

End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

R9T18: Green uses swordwork to feint Arael before stabbing him in the left quadruped for 12.

R9T17: The leader tiefling gets to a clearer line of sight and shoots a fire bolt at Dusha, hitting her squarely in the chest with a light wound critical for 8 fire.

R9T16: Erasmus stabs the amber tiefling in the right hand for a light critical for 12 mod.

R9T13.5: Dusha, what do you do?

R9T13.5: With her robes seared and two enemies closing in, Dusha deeply mislikes the cast of this situation. The weak-willed Hyrum fleeing the fight only makes things worse and, torn between standing over the Flycatcher and rescuing this debacle, Dusha chooses the latter. She steps away from the halfling, dealing with the difficulties of one of the fallen enemies underfoot. Yellow stabs at her, but it is a poor attack. Dusha, now near the tiefling that cursed Hyrum, and begins to recast her cold spell. But the amber tiefling, armed with a dagger, slashes at the side of Dusha's left knee for 4. It is enough to make Dusha falter and lose her spell.

R9T12: Yellow steps over the body of one of his fallen and attacks Dusha, stabbing her in her upper left arm for 8.

R9T7.5: The amber tiefling gets a grayish field of energy on his off-hand, but fails to touch Dusha with it, the energy still there.

R9T4: Though late in the battle to do so, Arael's focus was elsewhere. He now steps away from his opponent and casts bless.

End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

R10T18: Green steps after Arael, performs some brilliant pointwork, and then attacks the Iomedaean. The sword nicks Arael's artery in his left forearm for 9 + (1d6 bleed).

R10T17: The leader moves around to flank Arael, and then performs a risky strike against your leader, the morningstar striking heavily against the right upper arm with a cheap shot for 9.

R10T16: Erasmus performs another powerful threat against the amber tiefling, hitting him/it in the upper left arm for 13 mod. He then steps closer to Green.

R10T13.5: Dusha, what do you do?

R10T13.5: Stepping quickly back towards the stairs in the hopes of putting some distance between herself and the assailants pressing her on both sides, Dusha rubs a hand along Radigan's hairless tail and begins to cast.

R10T12: Yellow follows his prey (Dusha) and uses dizzying swordwork. Interestingly enough, Dusha's desire to be close to Radigan is what saves her from a feint, as her bond is strengthened and she sees through the tiefling's attempt. The feint failed. The attack didn't. Dusha gets stabbed in the chest for 8. She barely stands, but she does not yield up her spell.

R10T7.5: The amber tiefling misses touching Erasmus again.

R10T4: Arael takes 6 bleed, enough to make him fall, his sword clattering to the ground.

End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

R11T18: Green does a demivolte to flank Erasmus. Though brilliant footwork, Erasmus still deflects the attack.

R11T17: The leader laughs, even nodding appreciatively. "I see what you're doing, witch!" He closes on her, not even trying to protect himself from Erasmus' AOO (which is deflected by the leader's breastplate anyway). He gathers his energy - unopposed as Erasmus has already attacked him and Dusha has no weapon in hand, and shoots a fire bolt at point blank range right into Dusha's left shoulder and lung for 3 fire. Not much .... but enough to drop the exhausted spiritualist.

R11T16: Erasmus steps over to Dusha, and takes a careful stab at the amber tiefling, missing.

R11T11: Because it just isn't enough, the wolf skeleton runs back into the room and then bites at the fallen Arael, though is having trouble because of the Children of Westcrown's fallen leader's armor.

R11T7.5: The amber tiefling draws its hand along Erasmus' face, its corrupting touch jumping to the Ustalavic man, putting fright into the already lonely warrior.

End Round 11, Begin Round 12 ...
R12T18: Green performs a coup de grace on Arael, just in case, and it kills Arael, the former leader of the Children of Westcrown.
R12T17: The leader steps back, looks to the wolf skeleton, and commands it to attack Arael. He then casts a spell on the currently spooked man, but doesn't affect him further.
R12T16: Erasmus maintains more defense now, and his blade hits the wall for his trouble.
R12T13.5: Unbeknownst to the combatants, Dusha actually stabilizes.
R12T12: Yellow attacks, but is deflected.
R12T11: Erasmus' defensiveness saves him from the wolf-skeleton's bite.
R12T7.5: The amber tiefling, surprisingly, steps back as Erasmus collects himself, and drinks a potion of make whole to heal for 7.

End Round 12, Begin Round 13 ...
R13T18: Green takes a side-circuit and steps in where the amber tiefling stepped out, and scores a soft crit to Erasmus' left leg for 12.
R13T17: The leader readies himself to kill this final one by creating a single illusory duplicate of himself and then steps up.
R13T16: Erasmus gets out of the awful position he was in and grazes Yellow's right hand for 9.
R13T12: Yellow snarls in pain. He steps off of Dusha's spot to block the stairs. He fakes the man out and then does a stinger to Erasmus' left foot with a light crit for 9, and sickening him with pain.
R13T11: The wolf skeleton pursues and snaps at Erasmus.
R13T7.5: Given a little bit of refreshing, the amber tiefling closes but its attack fizzles.

End Round 13, Begin Round 14 ...

R14T18: Green closes, but her attack is deflected.
R14T17: The leader performs a power strike to shatter Erasmus' right knee and cause him to drop from shock.

All heroes are put to the sword and are killed.
