Feall disappears from the sheltering shadows, reappearing behind his target. Inky shadows snake from his hands, but fail to find purchase around the Khyber neck. Nevertheless, the man reels as his psyche is assaulted by paranoid thoughts of betrayal.
River moves forward and shoot a bolt at the leader then makes a quick prayer to Arawai, and heals the captive.
In a reflex motion, Rumbum shoves his shield towards the foe to his right who had wounded him badly. But the pain and severity of the wound limited Rumbum's motion and the attack misses. Rumbum feels more intense pain and staggers a bit.
But in an instant the pain was gone.
What? Turning back he sees that there are others who are helping.
Ah haaaa ha! Don't worry new friends of Rumbum. Rumbum wont let you down. Turning back to his original foe, ignoring the two that flank him,
Rumbum not done with you yet. He lashes out again with his axe, which connects with a sickening thud.
"Spread out people!" Sheeva shouts.
"Don't let the ballistas hit more than one of us at a time." The drow's blast of elemental power hits all the foes.
Peaking around the corner once, twice, three times, Pok gauges the battle.
What do I do, their all so close together... like most prey animals, Pok peaked around the corner two or three more times.
Why is she ALWAYS using my name in the presence of enemies?! exasperated, the peaking Pok looked up the hall from Sheeva, to where she had indicated.
Now's my chance!
Pointing his wand at the clustered cultists, the wizard unleashed a mighty illusion. For the cult members it was as if the walls themselves shifted and churned to block off escape, and the floor turned to mud-manacles, but none of this offered reprieve from the buffeting winds.
Pok waves a silent thanks to Sheeva, the gnome shoots her a wink, and darkness begins filling the cubby hole he'd hidden in. In the shrouding gloom it becomes very difficult to distinguish Pok, from the wall.
The enemies closest to Rumbum flail uselessly at the orc, their minds assaulted and the buffeting winds affecting them. One of them pushes through the pain and fires a bolt of dark energy at River, striking the cleric.
The ballistas continue firing their lightning charged energy at the spellcasters, but only cause a minor burn on Sheeva, Pok is able to dodge them easily.
