R6T21: Marius stands up, and then jogs around the outside of the building toward the front where the evacuees are gathering, keeping at least five feet away from the building to avoid suffering any further fire damage.

R6T20: Othello, before you do anything else, you take 6 fire. Roll a Ref save to not catch fire!

R6T20: Othello stands up, and attempts to move to the nearest space that isn't on fire. He moves through a flaming area quickly, only taking 2 fire. Seeing the Sheriff, he gets closer to him.

R6T16: The Sheriff reaches for something Othello doesn't see. Outside, the Sheriff appears with Kendra in a fireman's carry.

R6T15: Zauberei, what do you do? You are safely outside.

R6T14: Hargrimm has caught fire! He lets loose with a burst of healing that affects Othello and everyone else, and then his burning form comes tearing out of the building and south, but not before taking 5 fire from the fire he goes through, which in turn burns away and destroys the depressingly empty backpack he was holding.

R6T13: Kendra asks the Sheriff to let go of her. She slides off his shoulder and steps over to give Aid to Hargrimm should he try to get the flames on him out.

R6T11: Hargrimm is burning. You don't see Othello or Marius. Razvan, what do you do?

R6T11: Razvan will try to put out the fires on Hargrimm, but as with Kendra, the best he can do is Aid Hargrimm's own actions at this time. "That is enough fire for you today my friend."

End Round 6: The townsfolk mill about, looking on at their obviously lost Town Hall with a mixture of fear and sadness. Meanwhile, the councilors are starting to organize bucket brigades.

Begin Round 7: The fires inside continue to grow, and now encompass part of the outer portion and the roof.

R7T21: Marius, townsfolk started off to begin a bucket brigade, but looking at the roaring building, you realize that now the brigade's job is to create a fire line. The Town Hall is definitely lost. What do you do, if anything?

R7T21: Seeing the bucket brigades already forming from afar, Marius continues jogging around the town hall until he can see the front entrance, worried over his friends' welfare and wondering what their next steps are. When he finishes jogging over, Marius stops to catch his breath, having been struggling against smoke and physical exertion without pause for some time.

Hargrimm and Zauberei go into the next room. Sure enough, they notice a temperature drop, but don't do anything until there is an active freezing effect.

Round One ...

R1T11: At the point that there is frost forming over the bars, that is good enough for Hargrimm. He gives Zauberei a nod and channels energy for 6 PE.

R1T7: Unfortunately, getting Zauberei's attention also made him unwittingly delay as it affects the heroes, with Zauberei barely keeping from suffering worse effect: Hargrimm (5 cold), Zauberei (4 cold).

R1T4: Zauberei quickly recovers his focus and lets loose with his own channel to do 2 PE.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T11: Hargrimm does another 6 PE.

R2T7: Hargrimm takes 4 cold, and Zauberei takes 5 cold.

R2T4: Zauberei fires off a full-power channel that does 6 PE!

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T11: Hargrimm falters a little this time, ony doing 4 PE, and the energies in the room quickly return to normal.

Surprise Round ...

S15-8: Abrax barely even steps into the room when three completely motionless, small creatures that blended into the rubble close on his position. One of them had charged right down the middle of the room to strike Abrax' right calf with a soft crit for 4. Another just popped up and bites him on the chest for 2. From the two bites, Abrax finds that he is muscles are weakened from what must be some type of poison!

[lostsole31]

R1T22: Marius winces sympathetically as Abrax takes the bites. Hefting his polearm into a combat position, the doctor attempts to skewer a creature with his weapon, but with Abrax in the way his strike goes wide.

R1T16: Wren disappears from view without so much as a word. However, he lets the party know where he is through some whistling so they aren't too thrown.

R1T15: Red (spider) recovers from its charge with a soft crit in the chest for 4, likely cracking a rib, but a poor place to inject more poison.

[lostsole31]

R1T10: Zauberei moves 15 feet NE, definitely bumping up against Wren. Zauberei concentrates for a brief moment, and all of the heroes feel a sort of infrasonic thrumming around their bodies.

R1T9: Green bites Abrax again. Abrax sees the attack coming from a mile away, but realizes as leaden as his limbs feel, it is much harder to react and the bite hits Abrax' left elbow for 3.

R1T8: Abrax, you just got hit with another bite that begins to put more poison into your already poisoned system. Roll a Fort save vs. poison!

Then, tell me what you do with your round, using if/then statements if necessary for whether you are poisoned worse or not.

[lostsole31]

R1T8: Abrax tries to steel himself against the poison, but it is as if these creatures have a poison designed to lay you low as you feel helpless against it. Now he feels significantly impaired. He strikes out at his assailant in a hail of strikes. He manages to adapt to speed striking instead of raw power in hopes of ending this fight quickly before he is overwhelmed. He's not used to his and his swing is wild, but a short snap kick finds some success that does 6 (+1d4 bleed) to Green.

Impaired: A character impaired by Strength poison experiences rapid muscle atrophy. She takes an additional –2 penalty on the affected Strength-based rolls, and is always considered to be carrying at least a heavy load.

R1T6: Hargrimm, within the span of just under 10 seconds, Abrax was bit multiple times by spider-like creatures, and he definitely appears to be affected by poison. What do you do?

R1T6: Hargrimm reaches out to Abrax as he casts a spell and touches Abrax to fully heal him. "I'll take this off your hands," he says with a grimace as he draws his essence and the poison into himself. Then he steps aside to let the experts handle the creatures.

R2T22: Seeing Abrax take a repeated beating from the spiders, Marius draws his shield in anticipation of the melee spreading. The young man then closes the distance so he may attack. Having done all he can for the moment, Marius worriedly calls out to Abrax, "If it's too much, fall back. Mere pest control isn't worth your life."

R2T16: "Excuse me, pardon me, coming through..." whispers Wren as he touches Marius then Abrax so they don't feel him without knowing its their invisible friend and then have a freakout moment. A second or two later, Green is wracked with pain (10) and Wren appears inside, spider ichor on the tip of his dagger.

R2T15: Red attacks Abrax, but doesn't penetrate his tough hide.

R2T10: Zauberei steps down behind Marius, screened by the two warriors and with the critters focused on the battle. He looks at them, seeing if he recognizes what they might be.

R2T9: Green suffers 1 bleed. It is too focused on the prey that has been so poisoned, but the bite can't get through the boar-headed man's hide.

R2T8: Abrax, what do you do? You are in a bad way. The poison is no longer furthering to threaten to do more to you, but you are weakened and impaired.

[lostsole31]

R2T8: Abrax grimaces as he feels the poison leave his system. "Thanks", he says grimly. Dropping into a defensive stance, he again enters an attack routine, striking out at the two insects to his north. He manages to solidly tag Red with a quick jab for 5 (+1d4 bleed).

R2T7: Blue attacks Abrax, and even with his defensive fistwork, the creature bites him in his intercostal muscles for 2. Now, without the bond to Hargrimm that gave you some protection no longer in place, you fall prey to the poison of this spider as well.

Staggered: A character staggered by Strength poison is so weakened that she suffers the effects of the staggered condition (except she can take a full-round action if it is purely mental).

[lostsole31]

R3T22: Marius, now properly shielded, completely flattens one of the spiders with his lucerne hammer. Then he backs up slightly to give Abrax greater room to maneuver or fall back, pleading, "An organized retreat beats dragging a poisoned husk, and these spiders aren't even the necromancers we want."

R3T16: With one of the spiders down, Wren goes more into a defensive stance and does a fast jab with his dagger for a crit on Blue for 13 (+1d6 bleed), having nicked whatever passes as a major fluid transfer in such a creature as its life fluid begins to gush out ... a creature that has yet to fall, but will die most assuredly nonetheless.

R3T15: Meanwhile, similarly vexed by Abrax, Red takes 5 bleed. It must be vengeful on some part of its mindlessness, though, for it crits Abrax, biting him in a nerve cluster in his chest for 4 + stunned as the shooting pain from the nerve cluster totally unsettles the aasimar. Luckily, the spider's poison is not a neurotoxin, and doesn't transmit well in that spot.

Wren sees Abrax' distress and yells, "Pull him out!"

R3T8: It is a strange thing ... a mind-monk's training. So many strange meditative practices. Though he cannot think straight from the pain, yet Abrax' autonomic system is working wonderfully at doing what he trained it to do, namely increase efficiency in fighting off foreign matter in his body even without his awareness, and he manages to shut down the poison currently in his system.

R3T7: Blue takes 6 bleed ... and drops!

Surprise Round!

S12: Leaping from its place, a set of manacles takes on an unnatural life of its own, moving as though it were a wild animal provoked into attacking. It flies forth at Marius, bouncing off of his studded leather armor.

S7: Marius, what do you do? This is a surprise round, with normal surprise-round limitations.

S7: Marius finds himself unable to swipe back at the manacles with his polearm at such close range. So instead the young man takes a total defense action, attempting to protect himself while the others prepare to take out this new threat. He calls out, "Back up!"

R1T14: Abrax takes a step south, clearing the way for Marius to back out of the door. Once he is clear, he recasts his armor of shimmering force in preparation for battle.

R1T13: Wren disappears from view, "Pardon me, coming through," he mutters as a way to both warn and tell his fellows where he is. He calls out from opposite of Marius, "Okay, we have animated manacles. All metal, so hard to batter. Anyone have any cold?"

R1T10: The manacles seem to resettle themselves after having lurched at Marius like they did. They then move very close to Marius (size Tiny), but he is focused on defense and deflects them.

R1T7: Marius, you are in total defense. You know from verbal cues that Wren is on the other side of the manacles from you. What do you do?

R1T7: "Now's our chance to surround it," Marius calls out to his teammates. Backing up five feet through the doorway, the man swipes at the floating manacles with his hammer. He hits them, but being an object of metal the manacles seem undamaged.

R1T6: Hargrimm, what do you do?

R1T6: Hargrimm throws a vortex of light at the manacles as he calls out "No such luck on the cold front Wren." Then he smirks to himself over his accidental weather joke.

R1T3: "My suggestion would be to pin it to the ground and bind it. Someone get some rope handy," recommends Zauberei. He looks at Hargrimm. He then gestures and points at the manacle as a glob of acid is produced. Marius in front of him fouls his shot as the gob just misses and sizzles on the stone before winking out of existence.

R2T14: "Someone get rope and ready to rope the cuffs to each other when I tell you to. I'm going to try to pin it," says Abrax as he moves into the room and easily grabs hold of the shackles (grappled, not pinned).

R2T13: Wren appears, dagger in hand if someone wants to wail on it, but otherwise shrugging. "Sorry, I don't have much .... of anything."

R2T10: The animated manacles while not possessing much power, are still squirrelly and biff Abrax in the face for 1 NL.

R2T7: Marius, what do you do? Do you try to bash it while flanked, hoping to hurt metal manacles? or, do you trust in Abrax (and Zauberei) and ready some rope?

R2T7: Nodding at Zauberei's suggestion, Marius fishes out a length of silk rope from his backpack. He then silently readies an action to loop the rope through the manacles' cuffs on Abrax's command.
