The Undiscovered Frontier (Finished!)

Voda Vosa · Oct 21, 2011

Infuriated as he sees their new-found ally fall under the hacks of the gnolls, Sarpot screams a guttural challenge and runs towards them, with his wicked claws behind. He hops in the air and using his eldrich claws, he shreds it in ten slices. "SNGRET ARRRWAAY!" he screams once more, ready to strike another creature down. Meanwhile, the swarm keeps bitting the gnoll.

Swarm damage: 6
Sarpot Eldrich claw attack: 15, hits for 19 dmg

OOC: Update by 2am East Coast time. Anyone not posting actions will be skipped.

Ignoring the remaining gnoll near him for the moment, Nerin steps over and savagely begins to clear the gnolls from around the old flind.

Lealani again speaks in a sing-songy otherworldly language and a spray of color comes shooting out of her fingertips, aimed at the gnolls attacking their new friend.

OOC:

This is difficult without a map, I'm not sure I am within 15feet and if I can hit baddies and not Tak. If color spray won't work, she will just cast a magic missile at one of them.

Lealani moves first, flying above the gnolls around Tak and casting color spray from above their heads, knocking all four unconscious.

Nerin quickly moves next, his blade moves faster than the eye can see, tearing a large rip in the last unharmed gnoll's chest. The creature takes a stunned moment to try to shove back in its innards before stumbling to the ground, dead.

The last standing gnoll brushes more spiders away, but takes out a horn that was hanging from his belt and gives a deep blast. Spiders stream out of it as his horn's call sounds through the mists. A moment later he falls dead as the swarm of spiders finish him off.

As there are no more standing gnolls, Sarpot, Mellisande and Arkos hold actions (unless they want to kill off the unconscious gnolls).

OOC: Queenie, the map was linked on post 81 of this thread. I haven't updated it since this round, but remove Gnoll 8 and 12 from it, while Gnolls 5, 6, 7 and 9 are asleep.

Arkos slips back into his natural mephling form though he still for the moment sports a pair of tentacles coming out of his shoulders. He looks around at his companions and then at the decimated gnolls. Finally he gives an abrupt nod.

"Good work."

He'll go to check and see if Tak is still alive or if the brutality of the gnolls stole his life away.

"We should keep one of these alive, for questioning," Lealani says from her perch on the roof. "I wonder if that one," she nods towards the horn, "Was calling reinforcements."

She stays on the roof and watches through the mist for more enemies or any abnormal signs.

Fenris · Oct 26, 2011

"I fear he was calling other gnolls Leilani, we must be vigilant and move as soon as we see how Tak is" agrees Nerin as he bends over Tak with Arkos to see how the flind fared.

Voda Vosa · Oct 26, 2011

Sarpot slays all but one of the gnolls. "Stupid beasts!" Each time, his wicked eldrich claws got into one of the laying corpses, the sound similar to that of frying something could be heard, and the smell of burnt flesh and hair quickly filled the air.

Deuce Traveler · Oct 27, 2011

Arkos finds that Tak is indeed dead. As Sarpot begins to kill all but one of the gnolls, two forlorn horns sound somewhere far in the mists. There is silence for a few moments, followed by another blast from those horns. They seem to be in the direction you were planning to go in order to get to the caves. At this point you may have to move fast, so you decide to put your cat-friend down, hidden in a thicket of bushes in case he wakes and needs to stay hidden.
