[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5151164, member: 46559"] [I][U]Round 4[/U][/I] Morvannon slips into the shadows away from the doppelganger, just evading her thrust. Vixo follows, coming in behind the shapechanger, but just misses himself. Grakk hauls himself out of the pit, trembling with pain, and destroys one of the chains supporting the central platform. The platform rocks for a moment, but the other seven chains keep it steady enough, for the moment. Morvannon's quick curse dazzles the doppelganger's eyes for a moment, allowing him to slip away and curse Maw. Magnus, not under attack for the moment, is able to concentrate on his flaming sphere and bring it to bear against the remaining grave drake. The undead beast withers before the flames, and takes one last bite against Vrrsk't before expiring, which the paladin easily evades. Kamotz and Vrrsk't move into melee with Maw, but neither can damage the elusive undead. Maw speaks unfamiliar but chilling words in a hollow voice, and four more zombies claw their way up from the marble floor, as if they were swimming through the solid stone. They quickly surround Kamotz and Vrrsk't, slashing the paladin and grabbing onto him. Kamotz evades. The doppelganger, suddenly unable to see Morvannon, whirls on Vixo. She thrusts, and Vixo dodges, realizing a fraction of a second too late that it is a feint, and that the real threat is elsewhere. He pays for the inattention with a painful cut, and is momentarily off balance while he backpedals. Slardazial's hollow voice continues to boom off the walls of the chamber, getting stronger. [sblock=ooc]Retcon: Morvannon moves away, gaining concealment. The doppelganger follows, but the concealment causes its attack to miss. Morvannon doesn't take the 5 damage. Vixo moves to flank, but misses the doppelganger. Grakk takes 5 ongoing necrotic.
