Rinya's sword cuts through the satyr's skin with some difficulty. It's as though the skin repelled the metal from her sword. (Satyr has damage reduction) Despite the resistance, she still manages to cut deep into his side. To Rinya's astonishment, the satyr's insides do not come pouring out. In fact... yes, there are mushrooms growing inside of the satyr's stomach! Roots quickly extend across the wound she just cut and begin pulling the satyr's flesh back together immediately. (Satyr has regeneration)

Grinning wickedly, the satyr presses onward. Lowering his head, he bull rushes Rinya, attempting to force her backwards, out of the concealing roots. Thallirae takes the opportunity to stab at the goat man as he passes, but she misses. Rinya also has a chance to stab the satyr. (Rinya, please make an attack of opportunity against the satyr. He has 20% concealment and 20 AC (from Dodge and Mobility))

Khairi (NPC'd) catching on to Rinya's thought that this may be an ambush, moves up to watch the north west tunnel. He prepares for trouble (ready an attack against anything that comes his way).


ooc:thanks for npc'ing Khairi. Watching intently for any threat.

Rinya takes a wild swing as the satyr rushes her, just missing him.

ooc: conceal (safe on 1-20)=71
att=18; dam=10

In case the satyr, or someone else, gets tricksy, Rinya does have Combat Reflexes.

Rinya's attack is thrown off by the satyr's sudden rush. She grabs the goatman by the horns and pushes back as hard as she can. After a moment of no movement, Rinya heaves and throws the satyr back, out of the roots.

Now a second satyr appears. He tries to pull the same tactic, but this time on Thallirae. Rinya, despite already having angered one satyr, figures one more won't hurt much. But he's so close to Thallirae, Rinya's not sure she can avoid hitting the elf... (Rinya, please make an AoO on the second satyr, if desired (25% chance of hitting Thallirae instead of the satyr, both have 20% concealment, Thallirae has 21 AC, Satyr has 19 AC from mobility))

Rinya sees another opening and makes another wild swing, almost hitting Thallirae.

ooc: What the hell, I'll take a shot. I'm CN. ;)

25% chance to hit Thallirae: 20
20% concealment: 35
Attack/Damage: 12/12

Rinya's blade cuts right between the satyr and Thallirae, barely missing the elf. The satyr continues forward, attempting to press the elf backwards. In a burst of uncharacteristic strength, Thallirae repels her opponent with unelfish power.

A third satyr appears. He pauses briefly, assessing the situation, and then decides to throw caution to the wind and barrels past his left companion to bull rush Thallirae. (Rinya gets yet another attack of opportunity, same deal as before. (25% chance of hitting Thallirae instead of the satyr, both have 20% concealment, Thallirae has 21 AC, Satyr has 19 AC from mobility))

Rinya slashes at the satyr, but the roots throw off her footing and her sword goes for the wrong person. Thallirae, already engaging the satyr, cannot dodge the wayward attack. (9 damage to Thallirae)

The unexpected wound causes Thallirae to lose her battle against the third satyr, and she is pressed backwards.

Saithnar sends out a ray of burning energy, but it goes terribly astray and sears fungus instead of foe.

Brother Coir stops, confused. He steps forward into the zone of silence and opens his mouth to gasp (silently). He steps back and begins to call out, but his words echo into the zone of silence and reach none of you.

Nhairi performs similar tactics, heading back to the last place where she could hear. Neither of them look overly concerned, they're probably not even aware that a battle is going on.


Round 2

The "tentacle gnome" continues its assault on Richard. Again, the assault is an utter failure; the tentacles fly almost aimlessly around their big target. (4 tentacles, all miss)

Everybody but Saithnar, your turn.

Some notes: Any square with more than 50% light colored material is considered a legal position. I tried to be pretty clear as to which squares count as "undergrowth" for the roots. If there's question, please ask, but otherwise, remember that root squares require double movement.

Also, remember that moving diagonally requires 7.5 feet of movement. Or, in other words, 5' for the first diagonal, 10' for the second, 5' for the third, and so on.
