Aden takes the wall to his left as cover, and asks Dargun "Are you okay?" and then mutters strange words, invoking a cloud of darkness which quickly spreads to fill a part of the room. "You want dessert in light or in the dark?" he asks in the direction of Dargun.

- 5 ft. step to F-18 (if I can stand there) or G-18 -- I guess cover from Dargun and the wall should be enough cover to protect me from AoO -- but in any case I'd cast on the defensive Concentration (1d20+12=22), enough to beat DC 18 (3rd level spell)
- Cast Blacklight -- see SC, page 30, creates a 20 ft. radius emanation (centered on one of my pellets) of darkness in which I can see normally
- This means both the roper and Dargun, as of now, will be within the radius -- sorry, but I did this to protect Dargun from any follow-up attacks, as the roper should now suffer 50% miss chance and not get AoOs versus Dargun's movement, who can now decide whether to retreat or engage.

Thy wounds are healed!
[sblock=jkason] Delay might not be possible but you could ready an action as it is a standard action to do so. Talhia hears the rocks and then prepares something. If an enemy comes around the corner I... or If combat starts I cast...
To delay would mean you wait for someone to do something and in this case you don't know there is something out there. The rocks could have just fallin from the wall naturally. [/sblock]

Talhia pulls a prism from her spell component bag as she hears the sound, calling a pattern to mind against need.

Dargun realises that not only is he in a fix but he could easily die. Still not one to give in without a fight, he reviewed his options. The fact that he feels so weak means that his unarmed attack will be pretty much useless. Then he remembers the greatclub. He's not even sure why he bothers carrying it. He can't really use it properly and his unarmed attacks are far more effective. Now he knows. Held as he is, its a bit tricky but he manages to unship his greatclub and he prepares to sunder the strand that's holding him.

Platinus: Celestial Fleshraker, Druid Warshaper
The deep voice of Platinus booms out from the dark in the thickly accented Draconic language. "Activate douta buala! Supper tairais!"
Slash lets out a shriek as she takes a few powerful steps, while touching the clasp of the cloak around her neck, before launching her from the ground landing next to the ropey beast. As she passes, the claws of both arms and one of her legs rip deeply from the back of the roper's face type area clear around the side of its body, leaving its fanged maw in tatters, ripping the creature off its base. Her barbed tail stabs forward, but it thrown off it aim by the creature hitting the ground. The clear fluid coating her claws seeps into the barrage of ragged striations.
Platinus comes barreling out of the darkness, and into reach of the prone creature. Slash seems reassured by her companion's presence, pressing down on the pinned roper with her stony weight.

[sblock=OOC]FYI, A grappling creature can't make AoO (as the roper is grappling Dargun), Ranged attacks (except crossbows) are not allowed while prone.
Does Platinus issuing an order mean Slash goes on her master's initiative count? Because a 50% miss chance is really going to mess with my tactics.
Can a creature charge during the surprise round? It would seem really stupid if they couldn't. Leaping pounce is through the air and therefore bends the standard charge rules in a couple of ways.
Leaping Pounce says if pinned the creature hit falls prone in my space, so I'm reading that as at least partially in my space and therefore my charge can be partially into its space?
