Crove, too, falls victim to Anaerion's grease, but even as he lands on the rough stone, the man laughs. A cold, emotionless cackle.

"Why thank you, elf," he says, gesturing to where Kalgor lies prone beside him. "The blade had me a bit worried."

With a small woosh of air, Crove disappears from view, popping back into place right next to Anaerion. No longer worrying about grease beneath him, the man rises and draws his dagger.

"But then, I'm sure you know how fragile casters can be?"

[sblock=ooc]Crove failed his save. Used his standard action to invoke his Dimensional Steps ability, teleporting to N16. I'm slightly unclear on how that interacts with being prone. He's moving his body magically through space; it seems logical to me he can orient it how he pleases, but I'm not sure. At the very least, since it isn't the telportation subschool ability, he still has his move action.

I'm unfortunately also unclear on if the move action to stand counts as movement for purposes of 'drawing a weapon as part of movement.' So, ugh on that.

In any case, he's at least standing next to Anaerion. I think he can have his dagger out, but if you guys have better reference, I'm fine with keeping him unarmed since I don't have the time to dig deeper for reference one way or the other.

Ausk moves up to M-16, unable to do anything to do much, but his pet is less encumbered by the nausea (Fort save (1d20+5=24)), and the weasel moves to attack where his master may not. Doing a unexpected and beautiful flying leap out of the pouch where he had been watching the battle develop (Acrobatics (1d20+10=30)), he sinks his teeth into Crowe's hide, and is clearly prepared to hang on for the ride (attack (1d20+4=18), 1 subdual damage + attach).

It wasn't until after Anaerion casted his spell did he realize his error. Even Malkovian himself says "Um...I think you didn't think it through there kid." as the only non puking fighter falls to floor.

Once Croove gets in front of him, Anaerion has little choice but to take a step back, corning himself into a hallway. With a yell that hopefully Rylidak can here: "Rylidak! Get In Front of me! HURRY! "

Switching to elven Anaeiron mutters under his breath "Alright Malkovian, is there anything else you can do to help us now? I think we could really use the help" before slamming his hands together and starts weaving magic through his body again to open up another gate to the celestial realms, calling back a lantern archon again.

[sblock]
Malkovian: Bad mouthing Anaerion...

Anaerion: 5' step back, start summoning a lanturn archon again, but not before telling Rylidak to cover him and ask Malkovian for help. As Anaerion only knows 2 of Malkovian's abilities, hopefully we can use one of the other two now...

Rylidak moves to be a meat shield for our wizard, stepping between him and the enemy. Kalgor stands, swims out of the crowd of loonies and gets to an open area to swing his sword. Gragnor remains at his post, corking the doorway to the awful beast beyond.

[sblock=ooc]Not sure where the subdual damage is coming from? If the weasel is intentionally trying not to do lethal damage, he has to take a penalty to the attack, yes? Which would make it miss. I've applied the damage as lethal damage instead, then, and you can let me know if I missed something[/sblock]

Crove yelps as the weasel sinks its teeth in, but quickly seems to come to terms with his hanger-on as the others close in. He takes a swipe at Rylidak, but even trying to hold her stomach down, the half-orc paladin is more than capable of turning out of the way.

The quartet of cowed lunatics notice that Crove has left their immediate presence, and rise with blood in their eyes. Their chains prevent them from closing on Kalgor, so they turn their attention to the only creature close enough, swinging wildly at Gragnor, who like Rylidak manages to easily evade them despite his stomach problems.

Crove hisses when he catches sight of Anaerion beginning to cast, and raises a wooden medallion in his free hand. The group recognizes it from the swirl pattern the spawn scrawled on the wall back at the market using some poor soul's blood.

"The old gods reach further than you think, magician," he spits out, then mutters a phrase in Aklo. Black energy emanates from him in a wave, filling each of the party members with a swift fit of pain. The lunatics, too, seem to feel it. Three of them begin bleeding from their ears, while another seems woozy, but better off.

As the party struggles against the energies, Crove makes his way past the still-nauseated fighters toward the other end of the room, swatting unsuccessfully at the attached Alfred.

[sblock=ooc]With Crove out of their 'room,' the four loonies become active participants again, though their chains prevent them from attacking anything outside that cul-du-sac they're in.

Crove channeled negative energy. Everyone roll Will saves vs. DC17. Failure means you take 4 damage. Success means it's only 2. Anaerion will have to make a concentration check, incorporating whichever damage value he takes, (so, DC 15 or 17 depending on the results of the save) in order to avoid losing his summons.

Also, let me throw this one out: I THINK dimensional steps allows Crove to break out of a grapple, but I'm not entirely sure. He has to intentionally expend movement to take another creature, so it seems like if he wants to jump and leave someone behind, he gets to do that? Anyone able to point me to something that says different?

Status ALL: DC 17 Will save to halve 4 negative energy damage (not yet applied).

"Your old gods mean nothing right now, Crove!" Anaerion shouts as he shrugs off the worst part of the spell, finishing the summoning with no problems.

The Archon appears in front of the paladin, and takes a short flight (N16-> M15) to get a clear shot on the mad man. "The light will engaulf you once again!" Anaerion yells before saying something at the archon. Whirling slightly, two rays of energy whirl in front of the Archon, which proceeds to open fire at Crove!

Malkovian: Nothing to report.

After his spell goes off, Anaerion is delaying for now.

[sblock=ooc]For the subdual damage, it's because Alf does 1d3-4 damage so the result will always be less than 1, meaning he will only be able to do 1 nonlethal damage. As for the grapple situation, with most grapples, I would say that would definitely be the case, but since this is biting, and not simply squeezing someone, I'm not quite sure how that would work. My gut reaction is because the ability is called attach, the weasel wouldn't require any extra effort to have dimensional step carry him along, as most grapples are assumed to be someone simply squeezing you very hard and not actually physically attaching themselves to you, but I don't really have a firm rule basis for that reaction, and could see it going either way quite easily.[/sblock]

Ausk will save, Alf Will Save (1d20+5, 1d20+6=[4, 5], [15, 6])

Ausk snarls as he takes the full brunt of the wave of negative energy, though it still barely noticable, but the weasel seems to avoid the worst of it as he continues to weigh down the enemy caster.

[sblock=actions]Ausk=continue to stare down the caster in anticipation of eventually being able to pound him
Alf=continue to hang on, not sure if an additional roll is needed or not, attach, while interesting, is not particularly clearly written; deals 1 more subdual damage[/sblock]

Kalgor is getting tired of chasing this old man around. Casting, he helps himself a bit to get face to face with Crove again. Rylidak stands her ground protecting the mage while Gragnor flies up over the loonies to get a good look at what is going on since everyone went back the other way.
