[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5924876, member: 14889"] One of the ghouls falls under Castile’s axe with a sickening crunch. The other one, the one wearing Kovack’s belt, tries to rush at Kane but is obstructed by Castile. It snarls and digs its claws into her side. Castile feels half her body go numb. The creature with the staff crosses behind the pillar. Once again the adventurers feel drawn to her maddening gaze, but only Noriaki succumbs. Head churning with terrible visions, he rushes at Takahaan with Arashi Tenken singing through the air. Kane raises his sword just as the blade strikes, and when Noriaki returns to his senses, his sword is embedded in the flesh of the ghoul. [sblock=actions and rolls]Ghoul 2 attacks Castile. [URL=http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=9GDRLJDY]Ghoul 2 claws vs AC (-2 marked), Castile; damage 17(1d20) +10 -2 = 25; 8(2d6) +6 = 14[/URL] hits for 14 (6 real damage) and Castile is [B]immobilized (save ends)[/B]. I’ll assume Kane keeps his immediate available for Nylithati’s attack.

Noriaki takes [URL=http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=4RQNMR4K]Unhinging gaze damage 3(1d6) +5 = 8[/URL] 8 psychic damage and slides to M6 to attack Takahaan.
