"That is not natural...." He approaches where Daragix seemed to be standing a few moments ago, getting closer until he sees the other dragon kobold and the monster assailing Daragix.Zaryz hisses. "Darkmantles.  Do not let them strangle you!  They have leathery skin, and the dark cloud is their doing!" he says with a snarl. As he does so, Zaryz focuses his will on the beast before him and Daragix, driving an unseen spear of palpable hatred into the beast's primitive mind. A bass throbbing is heard in the area, almost as loud as Zaryz's words, like distant wardrums or the stamping of hooves. The monster attacking Daragix convulses violently in mid-air, and then falls to the smooth floor. It twitches a few times, and then ceases to move.Daragix growls, thanking Kurtulmak for his protection, as the leathery beast fails to get a hold on him. Zaryz's deadly mental attack strikes down the one flying monster. Daragix, his eyes clouded by darkness, he takes an educated guess as to where one of the beasties attacking Krixle is and stabs at the creature that hit him. The obscuring darkness, however, foils Daragix's aim.Looking in the direction of the two darkmantles attacking Krixle, Aurix withdraws a sliver of bone, and speaks a few words in the arcane language. Hoping to fill the monsters minds with fearsome images. The spell takes hold in the beasts' minds. In a flurry of frightened motion, the remaining pair of darkmantles disengage from the unconscious Krixle and fly at speed down the corridor to the west. In mere seconds, they vanish into the blackness beyond darkvision range.[sblock=OOC]Since Zaryz dropped the darkmantle Daragix was attacking, I took the liberty of slightly amending Daragix's attack. The party emerges banged up but victorious after a short, brutal fight.XP = 225 each! Huzzah!Also, this'll be my last post until Sunday afternoon/evening at the earliest. I'm going on retreat in a few hours.[/sblock][sblock=Combat Box]Initiative Order: Monsters, Krixle, Zaryz, Daragix, AurixKrixle: 16 nonlethal, 15 lethal; KOd.Daragix: 8 nonlethal, 4 lethal.Darkmantles (3): 1 dead; 2 frightened and fled.[/sblock][sblock=DM's Dice Rolls]Monster's Will SV: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1876900/" target="_blank">1d20=13</a>.Other Monsters' Will SVs: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1876913/" target="_blank">1d20=7, 1d20=2</a>.[/sblock]</blockquote>
