"Mothering son of a bloody demon!!!" Alinis shouts as Zeric lunges towards the mimic. "Can't you contain your impulses for three bleeding consecutive seconds?!!!" she scolds him, pulling out her sword and joins him in the attack. "Get the rat!" she shouts to the others. "Get him away from this place!"

Raven

Raven, who couldn't understand the conversation and was somewhat tipped off by Zeric's earlier comment, leaps after him. She has her morningstar in one hand, and the other open to grab the rat cage. If possible she'll grab the cage and move back to the other room. If not, she'll take the morningstar in both hands and smash the mimic. (+3 1d8 +4)

Elyas lets arcane energy form on the tip of his fingers and against better judgment lets the bolt fly for the chest.

Quick to assess the situation and what Zeric plans to do, Elyas joins him in the offensive against the mimic, casting magic missle. The single bolt that he conjures hits the creature in a quick burst of force. (4 damage)

Zeric swings his morning star at Starbrow's cage, trying to knock the cage off the mimic. The cage however does not sail off the chest-shaped creature as he'd planned, but rather clatters to the floor behind the chest attached to what appears to be some sticky substance covering the mimic. Orpheus begins playing, bolstering his companions with his rhythms.

Not wanting to risk grabbing at the cage so close to the mimic with her unprotected hand Raven opts to smash the creature from behind, (Sneak Attack - 15 damage) Alinis joins the fight, swinging her sword, slicing into the mimic with her attack. (7 damage) To her surprise though, her sword does not come back easily, becoming stuck on the mimic's sticky coating, she begins tugging, trying to dislodge her weapon.

Seeing an oppurtunity, the mimic lashes out at Alinis, a pseudopod emerging from it's shape, delivering a crushing blow to her. (12 damage) The female ranger's grip coming loose of her weapon, which remains stuck to the creature, she falls back and hits the ground hard.

Initiative:

Elyas - 23
Zeric - 23
Orpheus - 18
Raven - 15
Alinis - 14
Mimic - 13

Meanwhile Keygan and Althorn set out for the gnome's shop...

Elyas quickly casts a second spell as he sees Alinis fall.

“Somebody get the elf out and get her stable, or we will have to carry a corps out of this dungeon. That is if there are still people left to carry anyone out.”

As the rat's cage remained stuck to the creature, although no longer in the way of their assault, Zeric saw the elvish woman fall and thought that perhaps in the future, she should stick to keeping her enemies where her bow could keep her safe.

~It looked to be nothing more than a glancing blow...what are these I travel with made of?~

Zeric knew that if he allowed his mind to dwell on the weakness of the others, he would begin to grow as weak as they were, and that was something he would not allow to happen. Seeing the female half-orc's form sliding in and out of the shadows behind the creature, Zeric sought to keep it distracted to give Raven another chance to strike from its flank.

Bringing his morninstar down quickly, Zeric pushed all other thoughts from his mind, save the death of the beast in front of him.

(Attack the creature vice curse, as we need all the offense we can get right now)

ooc:
Maj, hope you house rule neg hit points. Alinis only has 9 actual hp. :(
Hate for her to die to a mimic.

IC
Alinis' last thoughts before she looses consiousness were fairly simple. If I live I am personally going to kick that impulsive human half-way back to my homeland! Then she knew no more.

(OOC: Eh, you're only at -3 with a usual possibility of -10. If we don't have you stabilized in 7 rounds, there's a problem with our party functionality ;) )

OoC: Yes, regular D&D 3.x rules do not declare you dead until your at -10 hitpoints. Your party members have a chance to stablize/heal you before that happens.
