Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

Wondering if he could possibly be any more a target even if covered in barbeque sauce, Raner takes a defensive position in front of the party and readies to lay some smack down on the first attacker.

"So far so good," whispers Torn after they pass the ogres. "And these must be the fire guards we are supposed to destroy. Focus on the hound first, I'll silence the other two."

OOC: Cast silence on one of the salamanders. 20' radius. Will delay until someone else attacks. Later, someone remind me to cast remove curse on Raner!
 

Lenya

If the room looks like it could work, Lenya tries her newly discovered powers and conjures a constricting arm of rock next to one of the fiery creatures, otherwise, she will invoke a Charm on the dog, as it seems quite intelligent and might be able to comprehend her. If that seems to work, she will tell the creature to stay away and be silent.
 

The Hell Hound and Toriah lay dead upon the floor. Raner fights on, burdened by the curse and many wounds, while the Salamanders attempt to constrict and burn the life out of him.

Round 3:
21: Torn (Magic Circle Against Evil ) casts Holy Smite upon the Salamanders (DC 18 will, dmg 22, 14+8=22 success, 7+8=15 fail)
13: Lylamwyn casts magic missile on the Salamander grappling Raner (dmg 8)

11: Neshi (Barkskin +3 ac) moves and bites at the Salmander (5+7=12 miss)

9: Kerwyn (-7, Shield, cursed) tumbles into a sneak attack position (DC20: 10+10=20 success, DC22: 14+10=24 success) and stabs the Salamander grappling Raner, dropping the Salamander into unconscoiusness and freeing Raner (11+10=21 hit, dmg 7, steals Fire Resistance 10)

Lenya

Lenya conjures another Stony Grasp next to the other salamander, but not too close to her allies, hoping to prevent them from killing more of her companions.
 

Kerwyn will tumble past the two salamanders to get a flank established. If the salamanders' fieryness is obvious enough, Kerwyn will sacrifice one sneak attack die to Steal Energy Resistance.

If reduced to one-third his hitpoints, he'll retreat to drink down a healing potion (or be healed, if that direction is easier).
 


The battle is won, but Toriah lays dead upon the floor of a horrific spear wound through his chest. Raner suffered severe burns and thought his doom was upon him.

Round 4:
21: Torn (Magic Circle Against Evil ) moves and casts Cure Critical Wounds on Raner (healing 28)
13: Lylamwyn
11: Belaver (Brown Bear, Barkskin +3 ac) pulls Toriah's rent and crushed body out from beneath the Salamander
11: Neshi (Barkskin +3 ac) guards
10: Raner (-43, Enlarged, cursed: -4 to attack rolls, saves, ability checks) drinks a potion of Cure Serious Wounds (healing 18)
9: Kerwyn (-7, Shield, cursed, resist fire 10) drinks a potion of Cure Light Wounds (healing 5)
6: Lenya (Shield)
6: Stony Grasp (ac 18, hardness 8, hp 32) crushes a bleeding Salamander to death (touch attack 11+12=23 success, dmg 7)
6: Stony Grasp (ac 18, hardness 8, hp 32) crushes a bleeding Salamander to death (touch attack 14+12=26 success, Salamander is grappled, dmg 5)
1: Craven (Bless Weapon ) Lays on Hands on Raner (healing 8)
