Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Xael]

Round 4

"It's a deal.", Lylamwyn answers to Spugnoir while growing new respect for the potion-maker. "Could somebody go see what trouble Kerwyn and others have stirred up?", he says to the rest of the group. He then moves a bit closer to Craven, and readies to shoot in case Gnaw (or more Ghouls) decides to attack the helpless Paladin.

2: Raner--Swings his axe at the Skeletal Ogre, hitting solidly (17+0=17 hit, 6+4-5=5 dmg). With a mighty blow, Raner cuts through the other knee, the Ogre skeleton falls to the ground and shatters to pieces.

The other skeletons, instead of charging into battle, flee (perhaps being commanded to leave?) in the direction that the cultist and gnolls took.

The battle is over.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Belaver, his healing magics exhausted, produces his sling and opens fire on the largest skeleton on which he can get a clear shot without being clawed in return.

 

[Dalamar]

"Abyss!" Kerwyn curses as the only living targets escape his range of vision.
Quite sure that his crossbow is more than likely to just harmlessly stick through the ribs of the skeletons, Kerwyn pulls out of the fight for now. Not to mention that he is down to three bolts by now.

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah, male half-elven rogue 2

Toriah sinks to the floor. "I'm not doin' so well," he murmurs, face pale and drawn. He keeps his grasp on the crossbow, though his clenched hands are the only sign of life in him.

 

[Dalamar]

"The whole moathouse is likely to soon know about us, what with the cursed cultist escaping with her gnoll guards," Kerwyn says to those who don't know about the happenings in the back room. Then he notices that his ragtack group isn't the only one with wounds suffered.
"What happened to you guys, you don't look too good either?"

 

[Xael]

"More undead.", Lylamwyn responds to Kerwyn. "The "Gnaw" is still hiding somewhere back there, and I think we should go and make sure he doesn't come to backstab us later.", he continues.
