Jansson once again shoots an illithidkin with an ectoplasmic missile...
Dorje gets an 8, which misses.
Arrow + Illithidkin ===>>> Falling Body
Animus gets a 2, which misses.
Or, if you prefer... Arrow + Crappy Shot ===>>> Wasted Arrow
Osius positions himself carefully in front of Desimus, attempting to block any and all fire coming down upon the sorcerer.
Meanwhile, in the other carriage, Tori'shel shoots another illithidkin.
She gets a 19, which hits. She deals 6 points of damage to the eighth illithidkin.
The illithidkin seem much less enthusiastic now that they number only four, but they continue their flight towards you.
Suddenly, floods of white-hot ecotplasm appear over the four astral constructs pulling each carriage. Unstable ectoplasm meets slightly stable ectoplasm in a fiery blast...
The constructs are unable to make reflex saves, as they are tethered to the carriage and thus cannot maneuver enough to avoid damage.
The first carriage's constructs all take 28 points of damage.
The second carriage's constructs all take 25 points of damage.
When the flaming ectoplasm finishes falling, there is little left ot the constructs of the second carriage, though they remain and manage to continue pulling it forward.
However, nothing remains of the constructs that were previously pulling the carriage. The carriage floats for a small moment in mid-air, then crashes heavily to the ground (a distance of around 10 feet).
Jansson, Liat'ned, Tori'shel, and Jirlai take 2 points of falling damage. Liat'ned takes 4 points of falling damage.
The first carriage now rests, slightly broken, on the ground. The illithidkin ignore it, however, and continue on past it (they are now 60 feet behind the second carriage, and 30 feet ahead of the remains of the first).
Desimus once again casts
sleep at his foes, and gets three of them within the range.
Overcoming SR: 13, 17, 12. All passed.
Two of the three illithidkin crash to their deaths in a peaceful slumber.
The fourth illithidkin and the eleventh illithidkin are now dead.
Syld, his target having fallen, reaims his crossbow at the eighth illithidkin and fires.
He gets an 18, which hits. He deals 8 points of damage to the eighth illithidkin.
The eighth illithidkin joins his former kin, falling to the ground to his death.
Back at the fallen first carriage, Jirlai extricates himself from inside. He aims his wand at the last remaining illithidkin, and the red beam of light shoots out from it. Purple sparks appear around the last illithidkin, and it falls to its death.
-----
No more illithidkin remain.
