Apparently one of the arrows skipping down the hall had made its way there by first going through Gerlach, for his knees buckle and he slumps to the ground.
[sblock=Combat mid round 13]Hafisbita: CLW is a standard action, Gallant Inspiration is an immediate/swift, so you get both. CLW (1d8+5=11)

"Aradra, get out of here" Relic gasps, his skin still sizzling as he levitates down towards the ranger, touching him lightly with the tip of a goose wing feather. "Fly! Back up the way we came down. Kalinn seems fixated on you! We will find a way to free him from the spell and join you when we can." He calls in celestial "Archon allies, come to me, through the wall! It is an illusion. Follow my voice. Trust me. Walk through it!"

[sblock=Actions]Move across 5ft and levitate the rest of the way down to Aradra's level (at a height just above his head).
Cast Fly on Aradra.
Call Archons to his side.
Question: Does going out of the Circle of Protection vs Evil and entering have any additional effect or is it one chance and that is it?

[sblock=OOC]What happens to a dominated person when the target of their command goes beyond their reach? Are they able to take actions to try and free themselves from domination? E.g casting prot vs Evil on themselves for example. [/sblock]

Shadow's ears twitch at Master's howl of pain, and looks up from the dead fish man to see the Not-Evil-One attacking Master. Not fully understanding the situation, Shadow growls menacingly, but is unwilling to cross the purple grabbing things that now have Not-So-Stinky-One tied tight together.
[sblock=Actions]
Shadow: Looks up in confusion

Aradra:
[sblock=Done]
Rolling these 1 at a time; All attacks are withing PBS, so:
Haste/PBS/MS/RS/DA/Gravity Bow/Clustered Shot.
16/16/16/11/6 2d6+10.

Shot 1: 1d20+16=29, 4d6+20=33 Hits
Shot 2: 1d20+16=21, 4d6+20=34 Missed by 1 (rolled wrong damage anyway)
Shot 3 (Hasted Shot): 1d20+16=22, 2d6+10=20Hits
Shot 4: 1d20+11=24, 2d6+10=19 Hits
Shot 5: 1d20+6=15, 2d6+10=19Missed.

So, 73 damage right there on all the hits. If someone makes that 5th arrow hit, Aradra will drop the target...

[sblock=OOC]If archon's come through wall Relic will order them to grapple Kalinn. [/sblock]

The first of the archons walks through the illusionary wall as instructed. An invisible wave of crackling energy seems to wash over Frost in an attempt to cleanse her. From inside the chamber a voice calls out "As soon as I get past this beast!"

"Grab the woman!" comes a grizzled voice from somewhere unseen. Since this is the same voice that called him to battle, the hound complies and tries to restrain the woman. Dropping its greatsword, it manages to get a bear hug on Frost.

The writhing tentacles seem to battle with themselves as well as their victims. They lose their grip on the barbarian elf.

[sblock=ooc]GM fiat that Frost had left the area a split second before the incoming summons had arrived before, so she hasn't been inside the magic circle area until now. I missed the placement issues at the time and was too far in by the time I noticed. Besides, you really didn't want Aradra or Daylily as the unstoppable target. Frost gets a new will save at +2 vs. DC 24. That will suppress the domination for the duration that the hounds are still here. If she fails, she is still hostile towards Aradra.[/sblock]
[sblock=Combat Round 14]Inside the purple circle is the ever so tenacious Black Tentacles as the spell.

A pained look appears on Aradra, as clearly he does not want to leave while his friend is struggling so hard. However, the wounds on him by Kalinn's sword have finally started slowing him down, and Aradra does not want to risk her committing murder.

Carefully flying backwards, Aradra speaks to his friend, "I know you too well. Fight this! The aboleth is dead, so you will be able to escape from this."

Looking at Shadow Aradra says "Stay with Relic boy. NO! NO ATTACKING!" he warns, sensing that Shadow's bared teeth are now at Kalinn.

With one last pained look at his friend, Aradra wills himself forward, and to his surprise, hurtles quickly out of sight.
[sblock=Actions]
Shdaow: Growling

Aradra:
Withdraw. With Haste and Fly, he has a 90' move speed, so he can fly 180' with a withdraw action (Holy Hell)

Fly diagonally away from Kalinn (also avoiding getting grappled by Black Tentacles) until he hit's the ceiling, speak, and then fly at break neck speed out towards the exit. He has a total of +6 (Dex) + 4 (Good) + 4 (1/2 Relic CL) for controlling his flying now. Aradra won't get caught anytime soon...

[sblock=OOC]
WOW that was freaking close. I thought for sure someone was going to die there.

Daylily i think is way more dangerous mind controlled than Aradra. Aradra is good as long as he has distance between himself and his targets, but once grappled he is useless. Daylily basically hits everyone except frost on a 2 on his first swing.

Having been in Kailinn's predicament once before, Daylily comes thundering down the hallway and launches into a flying tackle.

[sblock=OOC]Daylily will attempt to grapple Kailinn. IC is slow for me, but he'll charge and grapple for +15 base +5 strength surge + 2 charge for +22 total, then he'll attempt to pin at +20, plus any bonuses for, say, aid another.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I don't think Kalinn is obliged to attack those grappling her. I get it if her demonic nature reacts badly to celestial creatures. But if she were to attack Daylily with the same fervour I think that would be taking the domination too far as her only instruction was to kill the archer. Free herself or at least attempt it, sure. But she is under no obligation to attempt kill her allies that try and restrain her.

Question: If Hafisbita is working against the domination actively, can it cast protection vs Evil each round to free her from the domination?[/sblock]

"Kalinn, calm yourself. You are under a spell. Search yourself to find the limits of its power, and bend the laws that bind you to your own will. Fight against it!" Relic calls as he tries to think what he can do to neutralise his powerful ally.
