Catein becomes only slightly more animated than an armor display when it asks, "are we even trying to take any more prisoners, or are we past that?"

"No killing innocents!" Shouts rather angrily at Catein. I think these creatures are getting into peoples heads.

Chuckling slightly at Bell's quick reaction to Catein's remark, Even if they never get their minds back, I have uses for mindles drones. Paperwork doesn't do itself. smiles Veruzak, The horse is a prize as well! Even the hounds look like they could be useful. We'll need a wagon, but I think we can do it.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
OOC: I hoped to gain 'surprise round' on seekers so they get 'dired' before they manifest and then get 'free' damage if they approach. But if not then:
"I always wondered how you made Igors."
says Martelai while passing by Veruzak.
He then addresses one of seekers
"I SAID, you may not come here, you spongy son of otyugh!"
as icy chains shoot out of his hands and wrap around ethereal being. As they squeeze, cold pulses along them and Martelai is concealed in miniature snowstorm.
It seems however there is price to be paid for not pitching his voice right as he grimaces
"Caiphon, lend me your power, so I can smite these abominations"
Blood seeps over his runes and flashes for a moment before it dissappears.
"Move that rightmost beast as much times as you can."

[sblock=ooc]No chance for a surprise round, since they were prepared for you. Also, you can only deal your curse damage once per round.[/sblock]
The hounds leap forward. One savagely bites at Atlas' stony skin, while the other loses sight of Martelai in his localized snowstorm.
The ephemeral creatures tremble slightly, and then in unison strike out at the group with their tendrils. The one Martelai injured seems to practically erupt in a lashing frenzy. Catein avoids the attacks, and Veruzak is not even targeted, but everyone else feels a wave of pain wash over them as the feelers brush against their skin. Martelai seems to be affected the most.
The horse rushes to Kendrik, rears up, and clobbers him with a hoof.
The people move forward slowly, as though in a trance. In fact, you notice that their eyes are closed, and some of them are smiling slightly.
[sblock=Status]Initiative:
Martelai (10/28, Concealed)
Hound 24
Hound 81
Seeker 26
Seeker 31 (-6, Cursed)
Seeker 72

Horse
Husks
Veruzak (20/20)
Kendrick (22/31)
Bell (15/25)
Atlas (20/26)
Catien (21/27)
Hound 24 moves to H9 and charges Atlas, hitting for 6 damage. Hound 81 moves to G12 and charges Martelai, but misses thanks to concealment. Rolls, which don't include the +1 for charging.
Seeker 26 attacks Martelai, hitting for 10 psychic damage. Seeker 31 uses Tendril Flurry to attack Martelai, Kendrick, and Catien, hitting Martelai for 7 psychic damage and critting Kendrick for 9. Martelai is bloodied. Seeker 72 moves to K2 (they have hover, in case the description didn't make that clear) and attacks Bell, hitting for 10 psychic damage. Seeker 74 moves to F7 and attacks Catien, hitting for 6 psychic damage.
The Horse moves to H17 and charges Kendrick,hitting for 10 damage, which bloodies him but misses.
The Husks move forward to the places shown on the map.
Martelai and Catein are the viable targets for Virtue of Cunning this round.[/sblock]

[sblock=DM]Does the horse really charges at +7? Judging by its OA at +5, I would expect it to charge at +6 (+5 +1 for charging).
In that case he would have missed Kendrick by 1 (rolled 10+7=17)... Seeing that you have other monsters at +7 I can't help but wonder if you didn't mix their stats by accident. I know I do often enough.[/sblock]
Kendrick's eyes go wild. He sidesteps the horse and slashes wildly at his throat to good effect.

Bell winces in pain, but doesn't waver, to into the fight, and too much at stake.
"Martelai get back!" She screams, with of a wave of compulsion flowing through her words. "And if either of you dares try and experiment or enslave one of these people I swear I will go apprentice to a Paladin, come back and smite you both!"
She quickly moves over to take up the left side and aims her dagger out in front of her, focusing her mind on the hound before Atlas.

Atlas looks at the mutt with displease " You will have to bite harder than that " and strikes the dog with his sword, hopefully teaching it a lesson.
Carefully he moves closer to the others, avoiding the dog before him to aid Kendrick and the others.
" Martelai " Atlas yells " Channel your pain into power! "
[sblock=Actions]
Standard: attacks the dog with a basic attack. Hits AC 25 and does 5 damage
Move: Shifts to O9
Minor: Inspiring word on Martelai, heals extra 5 hp's
