"Baszd meg!" Kalinn blurts an extremely pungent curse in Hagruut at Relic's warning and draws WInterbite in a blur. The demon-spirits take advantage of her startlement to rush through her psyche; before she knows it she's the grip of the battle-madness!​

Daylily looks at the black tentacles wrapping around his legs and all but rolls his eyes, then grunts and strides through them with minimal effort. "Be strong for the time, Elder. There is Snaketouched witch here. I wills quick making him into small chunk, then I will comes back and killing the big fish for you." Moving toward the skum mage, he grins with grim intent. "Your magics ... not so toughs."

[sblock=OOC]Rage + Strength surge to break free: Break free (Rage, Str Surge) (1d20+20=31)
Moving to X45 and getting right in the wizards' face so that he has nowhere to go without provoking an AoO. If the mage does provoke, Daylily will use the Knockdown rage power for prone + 8 damage. I'm rolling the basic CMB, but this will have another +3 from the horsechopper if he moves a step back. Knockdown (1d20+15=30)

Just FYI, I'm rage-cycling. Pretty sure you knew, but figured I'd be explicit.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]

Shadow and Daylily are both able to summon internal strength and break through the tentacles that were intended to keep them in place and make them easy pickings for the caster. They move in on the robed figure who starts casting another spell. Shadow nips, but finds air where he thought the frogman was. Daylily's knockdown bash as well hits air instead of the caster, as if he was not standing where he appears to be. The frogman throws sparkly dust at the pair, but instead of blinding them, it only makes them prettier and easier to see in the dark cavern.

With the information that the wall is just an illusion, Frost changes her focus and looks through the wall. A huge three eyed fish meets her gaze.

[/sblock]
The invisible geezer finishes chanting his long spell, and another hound archon heads the call to battle. Coming in right next to a famously evil denizen of the deep oceans, it attacks with all its might. While the first swing of its greatsword does not pierce the blubbery flesh, the second one strikes true. Leaning in and biting, the hound tears one of the creatures tentacles off and spits it out.

[sblock=Combat Round 12]Inside the purple circle is Black Tentacles as the spell.
The fish was focused on the visible Kalinn. Apparently, it was waiting for an action of being recognized by her before using its readied action.

Finally managing to escape free, Aradra peers around at the wall that Relic must be talking about. "Illusion? Ok, Illusion, Illusion....See though it, need to fight. You don't exist...You don't exist..."

Meanwhile, Shadow attempts to bite at the robbed caster in front of him. The first bite almost looks like it connects, but just then it whips out of reach again. The second one does not even come close.

Relic plucks a scroll from inside the folds of his robe and reading its arcane script summons forth yet another hound archon, this time located on the far side of the aboleth to attack the hideous creature from both sides.

Meanwhile the other archon continues to attack with sword and bite.

Kill the archer?! But he's . . . he's . . . gotta kill the Archer! Frost spins and looks around, locating Aradra as he steps toward her. A look of horror painted on her raging face, she takes two quick steps around the invisible Wizard and swings Hafísbíta around in a glittering arc. The razor sharp blade carves a deep gash in Aradra's side.​

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC] That seems to be a rather disastrous turn of events. How exactly are we going to stop Kalinn from killing Aradra? [/sblock]

 

[jackslate45]

[sblock=Tactics]Its easy. We kill the fish .
I can think of two ways to do this. The all bets off way, and the run away way

1) Cast haste next round (exclude Kalinn) once summon is done, and between 2 archons and Aradra's full round attacks we have a small chance of killing the fish next round. They will have 3 attacks each, and Aradra will have 6 arrows to fire. Aradra might survive 2 more hits, 3 at the most, and he only has to suck up 1 AoO. With the Archons magic circle of protection evil Kalinn has a chance for another re-roll. That, and if Aradra sees through the illusion, he has a good chance of actually ID'ing the fish monster, so he'll get a chance to threaten it.

2) Cast fly on Aradra so he can Run Away. He'll attempt to run, hide, wait for Kalinn to pass, then turn around back and assist in the fight. If he can't do that, He'll stall Kalinn long enough for Relic's summons to kill the fish monster
[/sblock]

The sudden appearance of a friends blade in his side causes Aradra to look up in confusion. "Kalinn, what are you on about?!"

 

[Satin Knights]

Taunting Daylily, Gerlach waves bye bye to him as he croaks one word and disappears. A loud crack and flash behind Daylily leaves a clue as to where the caster went.

That loud crack was a lightning bolt that ripped through between Frost and Aradra. Apparently the mage moved to the other side of the fight, away from the barbarian and shot the feuding friends in the back. With her back turned, Frost took the full brunt on the lightning bolt in the back, while Aradra was able to sidestep with the barest of margins to not suffer.

Even through the large fish like beast is squeezing in the corridor from the side chamber, its tentacles are able to wiggle through and slam the hound repeatedly. All four attacks are able to penetrate the hounds defenses. Each of the tentacles leaves behind a sticky slime.

[sblock=Aradra]Kn Dungeoneering (1d20+15=23) Seeing through the illusion, you see a Demon of the Deep, aka an Aboleth. This ancient one if larger than any of the stories that you have heard of these beasts. Masters of illusion and domination, normal ones rule entire empires under the sea. The fires of the hells seems to burn in this ones eyes. Rumor has it that just the touch of one of these can turn a person into the consistency of a jelly fish and doom them to an underwater life as its slave. (Fiendish, Giant, Advanced templates, aka Bad A$$ and probably the prisoner of the ancients)[/sblock][sblock=Frost]Hafisbita is working actively against you and your actions.
