After Jack Randlay falls prey to the confusion and shoots at 'Keva, Thorn and 'Keva move to beside the altar and on top of it respectively ready to attack. The Scorpion tries to harm Denir then Meliara blasts it with magic missiles and Sir Shelden heals her then moves to the altar. Banaq does what Sorcerers do and begins casting a powerful summoning. Denir rips the Scorpion off his neck and hurls it away from him. Isolde rises and heals those nearby.
OOC: [sblock=Isolde]Since you don't have Selective Channeling I believe that the healing will effect the Familiar. Unless I'm missing something?[/sblock]
OOC: Faxon does not come into view and so the round closes with 'Keva and Thorn holding attacks.
Suddenly, arcane words are heard from under the altar and a terrible buzzing starts. The altar begins to move as if a swirling wind is under the altar. It boils out as a swarm of wasps erupts from the side of the altar. The swarm begins to move away from Thorn, and in the direction of the doors. It has a vague man-shape. 'Keva, Thorn and Sir Sheldon do not see Faxon under the altar now that the cloth is moved away. The altar is open on the sides and back but the front is solid except for a very narrow slit. The floor below it appears solid.
OOC: [sblock=Perception Check DC15+]Faxon is within the swarm, partially concealed by it. So 20% miss chance should you choose to attack.[/sblock]
OOC: Isolde, Jack, Meliara, Denir and Banaq are healed 13 points if needed and Thorn, 'Keva and Jack Randlay may act.
