Karananak Bole (A.K.A. Swarmwhisper), Wilden Swarm Druid/Artificer 5

Round4 (Elemental Slaughterhouse)

Swarmwhisper's roughly catlike form swirls apart into a tornado of razor sharp stingers and teeth, enveloping the tempest and acid genasai. Blood sprays from the tempest, but the tiny storm of critters pass harmlessly through the body of the acid.

[Son of Meepo]

Serek

Serek pursues the Acid Genasi, swinging his Hammer at his foe.

The mystic rules proves target points which make it difficult for the genasi to avoid blows.

 

[Son of Meepo]

Fire Genasi

One of the fire genasi fires a bolt trying to finish off Serek, but he overadjusts his aim while trying to shoot over the intervening bush and his shot is too high. The second fire a bolt at Spring, which hits the beast square, nearly downing Ryk's companion. The flame lingers around Spring, not harming him, but those who remain around him.

With their leader down and the numbers starting to turn against them, both fire genasi easily climb the ladders to the ground, ready to escape should the battle become even more bleak for them.

[Walking Dad]

OOC: Hi, I have trouble to changing maps and RL takes more of my time than usual (I got an important test on Wednesday) will be better after this. I don't want to drag down the speed of the game any more. Please just roll Vicious Mockery vs the Fire Genasi south of him on the map. Thanks. Sorry. Will be able to do the next round regulary.

 

[Son of Meepo]

Varis taunts the fire genasi, but he's more focused on survival at the moment to pay any attention to his words.

 

[Son of Meepo]

Flight

With their leader and his brother down, the other tempest turns and runs. The acid genasi, not wanting to face a half-dozen heroes on his own follows after him.

The fires continue to burn and two of the orcs' pained screams eventually die as the flames consume them.

Map

GM: The enemies are clearly intent on running. Do you want to continue and give chase or let them go and turn your attention to the orcs.

 

[On Puget Sound]

Ryk will continue trying to rescue the orcs, trusting Spring to guard his back against hidden enemies.
