Ellie's Actions Next Round

"Rallyn come back to where you left me, I've got a weapon for you. Also there is one less of those things now"

I hope that those things don't catch me like that again, I don't know how much more of that I can take...

Ellie moves back to where she was standing when this all started while drawing her dagger and preparing to manifest if Rallyn comes within 5'.

OOC ---> Move Action 5' back to where Ellie started from while drawing her MW dagger. Standard Action: Ready to manifest call weaponry (Morningstar) on the defensive if Rallyn comes within 5'. Concentration Roll 22 (15 + 7 ranks)


Edited ----> To mention these are my actions in the new round..

 

[Zhure]

2nd full round

Initiative:
Keith 21
Sildarin 19
Victor 18
Kith 17
Arana 17
Maerath 16, next round refocus to 27
Charlotte 11
Ellie 8
Rallyn 7

Keith stabs once more at the creature. They don't seem so difficult to hit, but they are difficult to hurt. His rapier once more pierces one. This time it boils away into a dank nasty smoke, apparently dead.

Sildarin Moves quietly through the room and vanishes from sight after activating one of his tattoos. Using his psionic abilities, he races across the floor to where Charlotte and Keith are poised next to a table, one of the things still attacking them.

Victor, uninterrupted, continues his chant with weapon drawn and strides into the darkened library with weapon draw, prepared to defend himself, lethally if necessary.

Maerath quickly sends a mental message to his squirrel familiar, Squeekie, who scampers off towards the darkened rear of the library.

Arana calls out a chant, throwing forth powerful magic, blanketing the doorway in a sleep spell. She then moves toward the exit, hoping she can either escape or at least rally with the chanting bardic voice there.

Normal movement is fine, just limited visibility to five feet for humans.

Charlotte once more gets attacked by one of the inky creatures, but this time it fails to get past her guard. She's obviously confused by the creature, and hits it with only a glancing blow. Fortunately the chanting of the bard from near the doorway gives strength to her arm and steel to her nerves and it too, vanishes in a puff of stinky, oily smoke.

Victor doubled your damage.

Ellie calls out for Rallyn, "Rallyn come back to where you left me, I've got a weapon for you. Also there is one less of those things now"

She moves back to where she was standing a few seconds ago and draws her action, hoping Rallyn comes close soon.

She can't see any more of those things within her range of vision.

Rallyn is hard pressed with two of the monsters on him and falls back a few more feet, using psionics to slicken the floor between himself and the monsters.

"Everyone try to work your way towards the singing, if we can get these creatures into the moonlight we stand a better chance!"

OOC: It's not clear because I was foolish enough to not make a map, but I'll learn for next time. Since it's dark, it's pretty hard to figure out where everyone is in any event. Let me know if I've forgotten anyone. To sum up, there appear to be only two left, both on Rallyn, who is backing toward Ellie, who is between Victor and the doorway out to the moonlight courtyard.

 

[Dalamar]

Seeing that there is nobody harassing Keith and Charlotte anymore, Sildarin charges one of the monsters still attacking Rallyn.

If Slith can see the monsters, allowing me to know where they are, I will charge the other. Otherwise I will take a move action to go to the door and ready an action to partial charge any creatures coming within range, using Burst if necessary.

 

[poilbrun]

OK, it looks like I'm not in danger anymore... but what should I do? Try to help Yodwin, or help Rallyn there? I don't know what the creature who was speaking with Yodwin is, but it seems powerful enough to have several servants in the guise of these creatures against which I would probably not stand a chance. Better to watch after myself before watching after others...

You hear magical words without being able to see who chants them when suddenly you see two Magic missiles (if energy can be seen in this darkness) appear where nothing was two seconds before but where Maerath now stands. The two missiles fly straight towards one of the two creatures threatening Rallyn.

Casting Magic Missile on one of the two creatures in front of Rallyn for (2+1)+(3+1)=7 points of damage. I then make a 5' step in the direction where one of the creatures was killed (to see if something remain of it).

I hope it won't get mad enough to try and attack me.

 

[Lichtenhart]

The farther students can't see anything. I have to guide them to the light.
Vic, always careful of incoming attacks, tries to catch those looking for the exit

I suppose I'll continue Inspire Courage and Total Defense

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith continues to fight...

Keith looks for Rallyn... and then moves toward his voice...

We need to save anyone we can… even a sandwich eating bumpkin…

“Charlotte… this way…”

Keith moves toward Rallyn with calm grace and poise… a determined look in his eyes… extending his hand to Charlotte…

“These creatures may be strange but they can die…”

Though I know not what they are?

Keith moves to flank the creature if possible and use his superior position to thrust into what he perceives to be one the creature’s ribs…

“Need some help?” he says calmly to Rallyn…

OOC: Attack roll if close enough 19 (rolled 8 + 8 attack + 2 flank +1 inspire) damage if hit is 7 total did not roll backstab…

 

[perivas]

Arana Perivai

[COLOR=sky blue]OOC: I was actually trying to put to sleep the "odd" voice and his minions.[/COLOR]

As Arana and Fian move towards the exit, they listen for any clues (such as the library door opening or closing) and strain their eyes to peer further into the darkness, seeking out the intruders. Upon getting outside, if there was no library door sounds, she'll turn around and ready herself against anyone leaving the library; else, she'll look down the corridors seeking out the intruders in their flight.

 

[evileeyore]

Kith continues for Yodwin’s study at a brisk pace, but crouching low and stepping lightly, he tries to remain undetected.

Making 2 half moves… Hide 24 (roll 17+7 bonus, no movement mods), MS 14 (roll 7+7 bonus, no movement mods)

I'll be doing this for as long as it takes to get there... and I was doing this during round 2 aswell (I was forgotten)

 

[GnomeWorks]

"I'll move on the other side to flank it."

Hopefully that will help...

Charlotte maneuvers to the other side of the creature on Rallyn, putting it between herself and Keith, doing so in a manner that won't have the creature attacking her.

Attack roll = 7 + 4 + 2(flanking) + 1(inspire) = 14.

Damage = 3 + 1(inspire) = 4 points, if she hit.

 

[Jeremy]

I didn't realize the other two were so close to my angle towards the door, if they follow the creatures any further, they'll follow them right into the grease slick, think quick Rallyn---

Rallyn looks quickly to Keith and his eyes smoke with green energy in the supernatural darkness..

Rallyn manifests Missive (assuming the grease slick is between me and the two remaining buggers) and targets Keith.

Keith, there is a grease slick in front of them, bait them and swing wide.

"Charlotte, swing wide left opposite Keith, if they don't come forward they'll be trapped!" Rallyn attempts, hoping that it will keep both students out of the grease while still continuing to bait both of the creatures towards him.

To seal the trap, Rallyn sags with the pain that has been inflicted on him so far, showing weakness and does not continue his retreat as he pants.
