The tallest of the ghouls facing Castile lashes out at her in fury as her axe bites into it, digging cruel claws into her flesh.

Hú Lí gasps as the slavering ghoul towers over her.
"Master Gelik, help, please," she says.
Gelik responds with a gesture. A nimbus of blinking lights surrounds the ghoul's head, but it doesn't react. Gelik looks rather put out by this.
Hú Lí manages to get to her feet while this is going on. She smiles, and puts her flute to her lips.[sblock=actions]Standard: suggest Gelik attack. Gelik Hypnotism vs. Hungry Ghoul 2: 4(1d20) +6 = 10

With a shout, Takahaan stuggles as the disgusting creature, lying prone, grasps the dragonborn's legs tightly enough to incapacitate his movement. "Foul creature! Let go of my damned legs before I vault you back to where you belong!" Taking his heavy nodachi, he heaves it downward in a decisive motion, slicing the creature in the side, leaving it open for more punishment by his human friend.
Then, without a pause, the dragonborn catches an opportunity from the corner of his eye and takes it. The opening caused by Castile's heavy assault has left two of the sickly creatures open for a real scorching. Reeling back, he emits a massive blast of fire, catching them in the wake. Coughing, Takahaan blows some of the smoke through his nostrils for effect, before turning back to the ghoul at his feet.

Frustrated, Noriaki whips his sword around and strikes low, hoping to break the ghoul's grasp on Takahaan's legs and send him flying back into the depths.

As Takahaan strikes at the ghoul, it lashes out and grabs Noriaki, as well, digging its claws into both of them to stay in place as Noriaki attempts to push it over the edge.
Pezock, seeing Castile engage most of the enemies, backs up to get ready for a charge.
[sblock=Ambusher 1’s reaction]Ghoul ambusher basic melee vs AC, Noriaki (-2 marked); damage
15(1d20) +8 -2 = 21; 4(1d8) +6 = 10 hits for 10 (reduced to 2 by Kane’s aegis) and grabs Noriaki.
Ghoul ambusher 1 save (vs falling)
17(1d20) +2 = 19 succeeds.[/sblock]
Ghouls in the Shaft, Round 2
One of the tall, rangy ghouls bares its teeth and strikes savagely at Noriaki, but the swordsman dodges its attacks easily. The other assaults Castile, but only manages to snap its teeth on her shield.
One of the shorter ghouls moves to Castile’s side and gets slashed for its troubles, before sweeping out its arm, catching both her legs, and tipping her over the edge of the shaft. Pezock squawks in dismay as the taller ghoul rakes her with its claws; unable to steady herself, Castile falls--only to be caught in the black, slimy embrace of a creature that was hiding in the water.
The other short ghoul gets up and claws at Hú Lí, who dances out of the way.
[sblock=actions and rolls]Pretty extreme rolls for the bad guys here.
Ambusher 1 regenerates 5, gets up from prone, and attacks Noriaki. Ghoul ambusher 1 mouthful of flesh vs AC (-2 marked); damage
1(1d20) +8 -2 = 7; 5(2d6) +8 = 13 misses. AP Ghoul ambusher 1 AP mouthful of flesh vs AC (-2 marked); damage
10(1d20) +8 -2 = 16; 12(2d6) +8 = 20 misses as well.
Ambusher 2 regenerates 5 and attacks Castile. ghoul ambusher 2 mouthful of flesh vs AC, Castile; damage
1(1d20) +8 = 9; 4(2d6) +8 = 12
Hungry ghoul 1 shifts to K9. Castile melee basic vs AC, hungry ghoul 1; damage
11(1d20) +8 = 19; 1(1d12) +7 = 8 hits for 8, Castile gains 4 temps.
It then attacks: Hungry ghoul 1 feed the hungry vs Fort (+2 flank), Castile; damage
20(1d20) +6 +2 = 28; 2(1d8) +6 = 8 crits for 16, Castile is slid 3 (actually 2, but no real difference) and an adjacent ally gets a basic attack on her.
Castile save (vs falling)
5(1d20) = 5 fails. Castile falls into the well.
Ghoul ambusher 2 melee basic (+2 flank), Castile; damage
19(1d20) +8 +2 = 29; 5(1d8) +6 = 11 hits for 11.
In the well, Castile is attacked by a hidden ghoul with a readied action. Flesh seeker prepare for feeding vs AC (+2 CA); damage
18(1d20) +8 +2 = 28; 10(2d6) +8 = 18 Hits for 18. Ouch. Castile is grabbed, prone, can’t get up until the grab ends, and dying.
Hungry ghoul 2 gets up from prone and attacks Hú Lí (originally I had it shift to attack Kane because I forgot it was prone). Hungry ghoul 2 feed the hungry vs Fort, Kane; damage
3(1d20) +6 = 9; 6(1d8) +6 = 12 misses.[/sblock]
[sblock=When you hit a savage ghoul ambusher (one of the dark purple ones) with a melee attack]The creature makes a basic melee attack as an immediate reaction (not necessarily against you; I may have to resolve it if there are multiple possibilities).[/sblock]
[sblock=When you try to escape a savage ghoul ambusher’s grab]The ghoul makes a Worry attack against you as an immediate interrupt (+8 vs AC, 1d6+5 damage).[/sblock]
[sblock=Terrain and Lighting]All terrain is normal except for the water.
The interior of the shaft is dimly lit (lightly obscured for those without low-light vision). The water is heavily obscured.
Climbing the shaft requires a DC 20 Athletics check without a rope, or DC 10 with one. There is currently a rope hanging down the shaft, anchored to the wooden plug.[/sblock]
[sblock=Controlling Gelik and Pezock]Companion NPCs in Combat
Any PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Gelik to use Charm of Misplaced Wrath, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.
NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.
If all of the PCs act in a given round without giving any actions to a particular NPC, I will have that NPC take one non-offensive action. This will most likely be Second Wind if it is needed and available, and movement or Total Defense if it is not. (It won’t be necessary for PCs to spend their own standard actions to have NPCs use second wind.)[/sblock]

ooc: OMG... trying to think of what to do... And I really don't think Kane can do anything directly useful to help Castile ...
Little time to think about the horror he has just witnessed as Castile topples down the shaft Kane steps back and calls upon his most powerful spell conjuring a flaming sphere amongst the cluster of ghouls near him. He tries to remain calm and tune in with Castiles fleeting life force, intent on protecting it from further damage from whatever he saw stir the water as Castiles body hit, even if only briefly.
[sblock=Actions]
Move: Shift back 1 next to Takahaan
Standard: Conjure Flaming Sphere in square in middle of the cluster (K10) to attack the bloodied Ghoul (miss by 1
)
Prepared to use Immeadiate Interrupt: Channeling Shield to protect Castile
Ghouls will take auto damage at the beginning of their turn
