Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Craven growls mentally, anger at Gnaw rising with each minute he was held impotent. This unclean thing, this terrible monstrosity, how dare it exist in its mockery of life. How dare it lay hands on the good folk that came to cleanse this place? Burning and salting seemed too good for it, yet Craven knew no worse punishment. It must not merely be destroyed, it must be eradicated from the face of the world!

[Pyrex]

~Rounds 2 & 3~
Raner stares on in anger as he feels his muscles locked tight by the foul power of the ghast swearing revenge once he can move again.

~Round 4~
Not wanting to be paralyzed again, Raner does his best to avoid the claws & teeth of the ghast (Fight Defensive + Expertise) while he takes a swing at the ghast who froze him.

 

[Xael]

[IGNORE]Round 3: Seeing that he's in no condition to hit anything, Lylamwyn tries to position a Grease spell so that if affects as many enemies as possible (and no friends, preferred target is Gnaw).[/IGNORE]

EDIT: Lylamwyn tries to shoot the lizard with his crossbow. He's trying to also stay a bit away from the enemy.
