In the next round Kelnar will telekinetically move Elone to his side and cast Endurance on Her. (its the only healing I got!)

GE

Rana has some potions. Free action to call for one, move equiv for each of you to toss/catch.

I feel like being nice and letting slide the fact that you dont have TK memorized and let it replace Confusion.
 


OOC: Note that Elone already has endurance cast on herself - she casts it every morning when she gets up. So that wouldn't help her much. Get her concious (4 hp) and she can heal herself, though.
 

Ubaar: pick your targets for the searing lights...otherwise, this is the round.
--------------------------------------------

Rana takes a swing at the sniper at W48, who drops his Xbow and blocks with his solid, fleshy arm. The other sniper shoots at her and misses. She throws a vial of CMW potion to Kelnar. She takes a couple more swings at W48, but fails to connect. He ducks under a swipe and tackles her to the ground. They wrestle as he tries to bite her neck.

The mage sees huge, metal-clad Akharos as a big juicy target and blasts a blot of electrity from his fingertips at him. He's still faster than he looks, though, and the bolt strikes the ground nearby as he sidesteps it, only some of it arcing back towards him (19dmg)

The fighter by Ubaar and Alex realizes that he is cornered for the moment and in pain from the stake embedded not quite deeply enough in his chest holds where he is, preparing to defend against any incoming attacks.

Elone misses her move, still lying motionless on the pile of books and broken furniture.

The BB doesn't do anything quite yet, except taunt: "This is easier than I expected. I knew you'd take the bait, but your incompetence in battle took me completely by surprise. Who's next?"

Continuing with his previous plan to use Ubaar for flanking, Alex moves in on the defending warrior, but none of his staking attempts come any close to collecting.

Akharos runs forward and attacks the cleric that sent the blood whip after him. He winds up with his falcion, spinning around entirely by the time her arrives, cleaving the cleric through the chest and neck and throwing him onto the table at M48. The vampire survives the blow, however.

Calain/Therea's eyes glow with hellfire and all of the standing enemies burst into flameas C/T raises his/her fist into the air. The two standing snipers and the cleric who Akharos dropped burn to ashes in seconds (DAMN Firebrand is too powerful) The blood whip on Akharos disappears, leaving a line of splattered blood on the ground. On the table where the cleric was is a huge red crystal much like the one that was used in the ritual that Emcat watched. It is glowing intermittently.

Emcat, wrestling with the other cleric, starts morphing and shifting. The cleric uses the opportunity to pin Emcat, and moves to bite his neck. The cleric quickly realizes that he is embracing a sarbetooth tiger. Emcat whispers in the clerics ear in a throaty, rasping voice "You call THOSE fangs?!" The vampire ignores the pain of Emcat's claws and bite, and the two wrestle, Emcat getting out of the pin. The blood whip meanwhile misses Ubaar.

The Orc, who has been hanging back, now having been singed by Calain's fire meanwhile charges across the room to Akharos, and plunges his blade into Akharos' back (26dmg +46 previous = 72...70-82 = -2....), and he falls over onto the table and lays in the cleric's ashes.

Kelnar reaches out his hand and Elone comes flying towards him. He catches her and slowly lowers her to the ground, then hold her upper body up, opens her mouth, and pours the potion down it. After a slight delay, Elone opens her eyes (hp -->11), looking around dazedly. Kelnar holds her as the potion infuses her with the energy to ignore the severity of her injuries, and she gradually realizes whats going on. (Still no action next round...Stunning Fist + Pain Touch still apply even though she is no longer at negative hp)
 

OOC: OK, as I read it, the cleric that was in O47 was charged by Akharos, then toasted by Calain's Firebrand.
That leaves only the fighter next to Ubaar on the upper-right of the map, until the orc runs by and drops Akharos (more on that later).


Ubaar wants to clear some space and maybe finish off the vamp fighter next to him, so he whips his Tail of the Thunderbeast at him in a southerly direction (effectively a free action like Spiritual Weapon being used on the same opponent - Ubaar's attack bonus with the Tail is +20! (BAB+6 +10 STR +3 Divine Favor +1 Aid... I'm sick of it missing :( Damage is 1d10 + 14).
If it hits, it strikes with a Bull Rush as a LArge creature with 22 STR (STR check +10).
If Ubaar's clear of the vamp fighter, he'll move to O49, roaring at the BB " Ubaar is next, you blood-sucker!
Let's see how you guys can take the power of the Thunderbeast lighting up your dark hole!"
and cast 2 Searing Lights at the vamps from P44 thru T45 (all the vamps that are left, I think).
OOC: Damage would be 10d8 for each spell if they are vamps, since Ubaar is effectively 10th caster level still.


Also, Ubaar should be able to Reach the orc with an AoO from his Tail-Club as it runs past and strikes his blood-brother in the back (Akharos).
OOC: I realized when looking at the orc's path of travel that it originally ran right thru at least 5 of Ubaar's threatened spaces... now the orc just runs thru one of them.

Ubaar sweeps his tail into the defending vampire, hitting him quite hard and throwing him up against the wall and knocking him down. He's alive, but he's now caught right between Ubaar and Alex.

Ubaar sees the Orc charging to stab Akharos from behind, and swings his tail into the Orc's legs from behind, sending him crashing into Akharos (without hitting or doing dmg) and falling to the ground at Akharos' feet (Akharos is now at 24 instead of -2).

Ubaar taunts the vampires and blasts rays of sunlight from each of his eyes. The light bounces harmlessly off the mage, but it strikes the one that the Emcat is wrestling with, causing it to disintegrate into dust.
 

At this point Kelnar will hold an action to Magic missle any spellcaster that begins to cast and use his other action to MM any allies' opponent whom seem to have the upper hand.
 


The baddies still alive are:
W48, Vampire sniper, wrestling with Rana.
P44, Vampire Mage
O47, Orc Fighter
R43, Big Bad (vampire among other things, you think)
