He gives Kaeysari a despairing look, but decides that remaining out in the open is probably suicide in his present state and darts into the heavy undergrowth. Straightening up, he stomps his little foot, producing a surprisingly heavy impact and a brief tremor that causes the pale man to lurch toward him. "Kill him!" he says in a squeaky rasp.Jynxx begins to yell another round of encouragement when a fly enters his mouth, choking him.  He quickly coughs it out and calls to his kobold friend, "If you would be so kind as to give her that potion, I shall try to keep those here upright."  He grins and launches another arrow, but it falls short. [sblock=Jynxx] as discussed, Jynxx just used Jinx Shot (missing) and no AP... he still needs to save against the poison vulnerability, I'll go ahead and roll for you: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2540916/" target="_blank">Jynxx saving throw (1d20=2)</a>[/sblock][sblock=Azryah]Jynxx's Majestic Word restores 12 hp (back to 20), and also allows you to slide one square if you wish... perhaps to P-4?[/sblock]Kaeysari lies twitching on the ground, the sounds of battle around her.  The voices of her companions ring in her ears, and there is also another voice, this one gentle, yet firm.  "Stand and fight, warrior," it says.  "You are not done yet."  ooc: ooh!  Who is the mysterious voice? is it the zocalti talking? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />With a jerk, Kaeysari's eyes open, and she tries to focus through the pain inflicted by the psychic attack.Cillani looked around the scene trying desperately to decide what she could do next. Suddenly her eyes and hand flared as lightning shot out towards the fish below. "Perhaps now you can go assist our companions Dear Br'ther."[sblock=Charm]The lightning missed... You also take 5 damage from the ongoing poison, leaving you at 4 (yow!), and need to make a saving throw against it.  I'd let you roll this one since it's so important, but I need to know whether you make it because it affects whether the enemy can target you with Corrupt Poison...  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2540939/" target="_blank">19</a>  Whew... could have been seriously bad for Cillani if failed!Don't forget also, you can move the angel with minor actions.  So you can move it twice and still do an attack.  Even if you don't attack with it, it might be a good idea to get it closer.  Since it can make opportunity attacks it can also help plug up the battlefield a bit.[/sblock]The club-wielding minion moves up on the shore.  He looks over at Cillani and growls, but seems afraid of the angel hovering on the bridge.  Instead, he charges Jynxx, smacking the kalashtar painfully on the chest.  Jynnx gasps for breath.  )(Jynxx is bloodied)The pale man sways in the mini-quake and stares incredulously at Papolstaanas.  "You... what are you?" he hisses.  "How can you stand after so much poison?  Where th' power from?"  He barks a command at the zocaltipapatlaca blood warrior, who nods and readies a stone bowl.  He spits into it, stirs it with his bloody dagger, and drinks deeply.  His cheeks swell, and he tilts his head back, then spits out a huge cloud of poison-laced zocalti.  It covers the area around the pale man, catching both Chaku and Papolstaanas in its effect.  But the spell was cast hastily, and Chaku, as well as the pale man, are barely touched by any of the fluid.  More threatens to fall on Papolstaanas, but a sudden gust of wind disperses it.  The blood warrior flings down his bowl in disgust, and moves back deeper into the jungle.The pale man grits his teeth and strikes out at Papolstaanas with his glistening dagger.  He moves with lightning speed, slashing twice.  The second barely cuts the kobold, but yet again the warden is poisoned.  The man smiles thinly and steps back, facing the oncoming goliath.  Their gazes lock.  Suddenly Chaku jumps and quivers as illusionary snakes boil up from under the bridge, hampering him and making his head throb with pain.[sblock=Warden's Grasp]Triggers Warden's Grasp... Papol can decide where to slide him, but I'm guessing I17 since that's where he wanted him before, and that's where I'll place him on the map for now.[/sblock][sblock=Status]12 Kaeysari - K11 - 7/28 (3/10) AP: 1 - ongoing 5 psychic/slowed (save ends), bloodied, prone, 1 missed death save, longtooth shifting10 --- ENEMIES ---Dagger R - O22 - 32/32 HP remaining - concealment, PB usedPale Man - I17 - 19 damage - marked by Papo, slowed, cannot shift ; action point, SC, Writhe usedClub K - L-2 - (minion)Piranha Swarm - J8 - - 0 damage - aura 1Dwarf H - J13 - DEADDwarf O - I1 - DEADDagger V - R-5 - DEADClub B - I5 - DEADClub T - K4 - DEADClub E - I4 - DEAD---------------10 Azryah - Q-5 - 20/28 (4/9)  AP: 0 -  concealment, Argent Mantle, Bond of Retribution, ongoing 5 poison (save ends)7 Chaku - K14 - 25/33 (7/12) AP: 0 - DR 5, ongoing 5 psychic/slowed (save ends) 3 Papolstaanas - H18 - 14/35 (7/13) AP: 1 - bloodied, concealment, ongoing 5 poison (save ends)2 Jynxx - I-2 - 11/24 (5/8) AP: 2 - bloodied, concealment, vuln 5 poison (save ends)2 Cillani - J5 - 4/23 (5/7) AP: 0 - bloodied, firesoul (+1 Reflex / resist 5 fire)  Angel - J3 (under bridge) - 5/12 - bloodied[/sblock][sblock=Mechanics]Club Man K<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Charge to L-2</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Club vs Jynxx <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2540925/" target="_blank">hits AC 19</a> for 4 damage.</li> </ul>Dagger Man R<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Poison Barrage (burst 3) at J16, targets Chaku, Papol, and pale man: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2540936/" target="_blank">Poison Barrage vs. Chaku, Papolstaanas, Pale Man (1d20+5=9, 1d20+5=15, 1d20+5=7, 1d6+3=5)</a>  vs Fortitude, so misses all (would've hit Papolstaanas but for his second wind defense bonus!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Move to O22.</li> </ul>Pale Man <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Serpent Curse <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2540940/" target="_blank">recharges. </a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Snake's Quickness: can make 2 basic attacks.

Road/Shore/Grass (brownish and green squares) - normal terrain.Jungle - difficult terrain, and provides concealment.  (Consider any square with more than a tiny fragment of a jungle leaf graphic to be jungle... I think it should be pretty clear but ask if need be)River - "Shallow" river lacks the blue highlight and is difficult terrain.  "Deep" river (blue highlight) requires an Athletics check to swim or tread water (DC 10 to move half your speed or stay afloat; fail by 4 or less and you don't move but tread water; fail by 5 or more and you sink 1 square.)River Rocks - There are three large, relatively flat rocks in the river.  It takes one extra square of movement to go from a river square to one of the rocks, but otherwise they are normal terrain.Rock Pile - There is a large pile of rocks on the far shore.  These provide cover and are difficult terrain.Bridge - The bridge is 3 squares wide - you can walk normally on the "rope" squares.  It has rope railings which makes it difficult to force someone over the side using forced movement - the target gets a +4 bonus to its saving throw to fall prone rather than go over the edge.  (This doesn't apply if forced off one of the ends where it was collapsed.) The surface of the bridge blocks line of sight and provides superior cover for characters on opposite sides (i.e., between one character on the bridge and one character in the river under it).   (Rope and post graphics on the shore have no effect, they are just for show.)Collapsed Bridge - The section of the bridge outlined with a blue square (I6 to K10) has been collapsed and fallen into the river.  This area is difficult terrain - even the "deep" part of the river here, as the remains of the bridge provides a surface to walk on under the water.Bridge to River, River to Bridge - The bridge is one square higher than the river; so there is no damage from falling or jumping in.  To move from the river to the bridge requires a move action.  You must be adjacent to the bridge and have moved no more than 2 squares in that action, and make a DC 10 Acrobatics or Athletics check.  Success places you prone in the adjacent bridge square; if you beat DC 20 then you are standing in the adjacent bridge square.  Either way ends that move action.[/sblock][sblock=Enemies]Zocaltipapatlaca DwarfHP 47, bloodied 23AC 21, Fort 16, Ref 13, Will 15; concealment against enemies more than 3 squares awayBasic Attack: War Club +9 vs AC; 1d10 + 2 damageZocaltipapatlaca Dagger ManHP 32, bloodied 16AC 14, Fort 14, Ref 16, Will 16Basic Attack: Dagger +6 vs AC; 1d6 + 3 damageZocaltipapatlaca Club ManHP 1 - missed attack never damages a minionAC 15, Fort 13, Ref 11, Will 11; +2 to all defenses while within 5 squares of at least two other club menBasic Attack: Club +6 vs AC; 4 damagePale ManHP ??, bloodied ??AC 15, Fort ??, Ref 15, Will ??Basic Attack: Dagger +10 vs AC; 1d4 damage, and ongoing 5 poison damage (save ends)Piranha SwarmHP ??, bloodied ??Swarm Attack aura 1; the piranha swarm makes a basic attack as a free action against each enemy that begins its turn in the aura.AC ??, Fort ??, Ref ??, Will ??; Resist half damage from melee and ranged attacks; Vulnerable 5 damage from close and area attacksBasic Attack: Swarm of Teeth +8 vs AC; 1d6 + 2 damage, or 2d6 + 2 damage against a prone target[/sblock][sblock=Map]This is so spread out, I wasn't able to keep Azryah in view, sorry.  Nothing much happening over there anyway. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx14/ryryguy_l4w/FOG_Bridge/bridge_5.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
