Hilkalas grunts, as the hobgoblin spell hits him. Barely, he manages to get off the harms way, as a giant tree trunk almost splatters him like a bug. Despite being before the juggernaut, his mind is also in the rest of the battlefield. He sees his healer being attacked, and his cloths shine bright, temporary blinding the ogre. Hilkalas uses the chance to cast his most powerful spell: He uses his Khopesh to slash at the air, creating a grotesque looking rune before him. He places his hand over it, and the ground beneath Rava begins to melt and fall in pieces, a pit crawling with undead abominations opening underneath it. The hobgoblin and the shifter attacking Rava fall for the illusion, and their feeble minds get ripped by it, as they flail helplessly in the floor.
As the ogre slowly reains his vision, Hilkalas hisses another spell, this time his sticks his khopesh in the ground, and as he takes it out, black tentacles sprout from the gash in the earth, lashing and pushing the ogre backwards. Hilkalas feels the restorative energy of Rava's spell as the giant fights back the illusory tentacles, until he finds out what they are. However, he is now standing quite far from the marshal. Using the distraction, Hilkalas darts towards the spellcasting hobgoblin.
[sblock=Actions]
Phantom chasm:
22 and 23 vs Shifter and hobgoblin will, for 12 psychic dmg, they fall prone and are immobilized. The burst (centered at D10) creates a zone that lasts until the end of the encounter. Any enemy that enters the zone falls prone.
AP: Beguiling strands vs ogre:
26 vs will, deals automatic 6 dmg, and he is pushed 4 backwards and sideways to -c9 to -d10.
Move: Hilkalas moves to -B21
Hilkalas suggest Jasper moves into the phantom chasm, so if an enemy attacks him, it falls prone first.
Minor: Inspiring word on himself: Healing: 9+
