Round 1

30: Gurk : 55/71
30: Grell 3
25: Phaeryn
25: Grell 1
23: Grell 4 : 29 damage : vulnerable 5 psychic (save ends)
15: Sharun
14: Kyriel
13: Baden
11: Grell 2
11: Pilgrims
10: Darek
07: Baern

Phaeryn moves to B27
Grell 1 spots Gurk and Phaeryn with blindsight alerting the others them moves to -E18
Grell 4 moves to B25 and attacks Gurk (rolls 30 vs. Fort) 16 damage and Gurk is grabbed. It attempts to bite but misses (rolled 16 vs. AC)

Sharun moves to L24, Mental Trauma on Grell 4 hits.

I'm gonna keep Kyriel's action as is becuase it releases Gurk from grab, tell me if you want to change it.

Grell 4 is at A24

Baden is now at O23, his attack missed.

Ok, I won't be able to update the map till tonight, and it'll probably be needed so you can tell where the pilgrims run to. Darek can give me actions before then though, as can Gurk, and anyone who would like to get a head start in for round 2's actions.

[/sblock]

Phaeryn surges forward with incredable speed joining Gurk beside the building near the Grell,

One of the grell near the rear turns it's eyeless head toward Gurk and Phaeryn.

[sblock="Deep Speech"]
"There, half-orc and thing, not alive, they approach"
[/sblock]

It then moves forward and picking up another pilgrim before slinging the worshiper's lifeless body to the ground like a ragdoll.

The closest Grell moves alongside Gurk tangling him up in it's tenticles before attempting to bite him but missing.

Sharun moves forward with detirmination and reaches into the creatures mind with a punishing attack.

Kyriel moves forward and attacks in a flashly way. The blast knocks the creature back freeing Gurk from the tangles.

Baden pushes forward and fires his crossbow at the closest Grell but misses.

The Grell in the rear generates a ball of lightning and hurls it into the crowd killing and injuring people

The Pilgrims begin to scatter.

Sharun frowns with annoyance at the Grell throwing lightning, steps closer to the Grell he attacked before and sends another mental blast.
[sblock=OOC]Move Action : Move 6 squares closer to Grell4
Standard Action : Force Grasp : 1d20+15 → [4,15] = (19) to Hit, 1d8+9 → [2,9] = (11) +5 from vulnerable = 16 Damage and it's Immobilized till the end of my next turn.
Unless one of the Grell is within 4 squares of the Grell that tossed the lightning. If one is, I instead use a 2 pt augmented Betrayal to slide that Grell 4 squares and force it to do a melee basic attack against the lightning Grell, which it gets a +4 bonus to attack and damage on.

[sblock=ooc] Move: Shift towards nearby grell.
Std: Torturous Strike Vs. Grell AC (1d20+17=21, 2d6+12=22) If that misses, Nasty Backswing triggers Nasty Backswing Vs Grell AC (1d20+17+2=20, 1d6+12+2d6=20) If the first misses, both powers are gone. If the frirst hit, the power is not expended. N.Bksw gives me CA. I'm guessing they missed. IC is mad at me[/sblock]Gurk steps forward, thirsty for revenge. He slashes furiously at the grell, to no avail.
