Whitney's hawks continue to harrass the fiendish wolf creature to the left, the magical talons slashing scars of fire into the vile creature's hide, causing it to emit another howl. The badger, letting off what sounds like a happy growl at Norri's presents, renews its attack on the fiend to the right, raking a glowing claw near its neck. The obelisk's flames become angrily intense as both fiends how in pain.


The air around Bhartus' outstretched hand begins to shimmer as Moradin's simple begins to glimmer. Droplets of moisture forms, swirling around the dwarfs fingers, reaching a fevered pitch, the heat easily perceptiple to Whitney. Eventually the swirl of steam reaches a radius of about 2ft before being violently projected towards the bugbears. The creatures are obscured by the magical fog for but a second before it disspates. The one which suffered under Whitney's attacks is now still, having fallen into the Lady's webbing. The others scream in pain, desperate to be free of the webbing, blisters covering their already ugly faces. They look very much weakened.

The wolf fiend on the left growls some incomprehensible words to its brethren, which shifts on its hind legs to face Norri, the flames in its eyes showing clear rage as the make contact with Norri's before the hellish illumination projects strait into the halfling's pupils. While both Norri and the badger take the oppurtunity to attack, sword and claw pass right through the fiend as if it weren't there.

Norri: An overwheliming sense of depair overcomes you. You feel weaker, less sure of yourself.(Crushing Despair)

The other fiend begins to bristle as flames form around its feet. The hawks continue to swoop at it before the flames engulf it. Almost immediatly, a similar conflageration erupts behind the large badger, the wolf thing standing, snarling as the flames dissiapate.

Norri, palpable fear on face, still manages an extrordinary quick succession of attacks, which, unfortunatly, fail the penetrate the monster's hide.

Meanwhile, the bugbears make little progress it breaking free of the webbing, the two in the rear putting all their strength agaisnt the strands, but to no avail, while the remaining one in the front reaches down to grasp his morningstar.

Whitney is up. Three bugbear's remaining, all appearing VERY close to falling (hint).

Archers attack the Goblins right in front of the Infantry

Jericho urges his forces to press the attack!
"Archers focus your attacks on the goblins in front of the infantry!"
 

Whitney calls again for more servants as she concentrates hard on casting as sure as she can for them. (OOC: Summon Creature II: 2 more Celestial Hawks, AP to regain the spell). These two she set's on the Bugbears as she moves back a bit further, scouring her mind for what else to do since Bhartus seems concentrating on the more distant foes.


(OOC: She sets the hawks on the same bugbear with smite)

Norri stutters a curse and stumbles back a step, making a desperate swipe at his seemingly demonic foe and hoping the sneak attack strikes home.

[ooc: using Action Point to improve attack roll.]

Bhartus will raise his crossbow and fire at the bugbear that's not trapped if it still standing. If it's dead, he will charge towards the menhir with his mace drawn. He commands the badger to continue attacking the goblin.

Jericho

Another flight of arrows is released against the goblins bearing down on the Evenwood left. An especially thick volley strikes the rightmost tip of what remains of the goblin's tattered formation, impaling many a small green form against the sloped ground. The arrows effects don't go unoticied by those goblins still fighting, who begin to look weary, their swings becoming less and less agressive and increasingly defensive.

Further up the slope the bugbears continue to press the Knights, swinging their morningstars wildly. A combination of heavy armor and deft horsemanship serve to mitigate the incredibe strength of the oversized goblins, allowing the noble warriors to maintaine their position.

Initiative: Jericho's again. Another fourth of the goblin force directly facing Jericho and spearmen has been decimated. The little buggers won't hold up much longer.

As Whitney fiddles with her regents and silently mumbles the words to summon more otherworldly creatures, the two luminous hawks already on the give chase after the wolf-beast which attempted to escape their harrasment. They soar over the flaming black stone, descending on the creature as it and its companion mean to attack the badger from two sides. Again, the beast is subjected to another graze from the hawks' talons.

Bhartus, from the top of the hill, drops his mace and quickly brings his crossbow down to aim on the formost remaining bugbear. With perfect aim, a speeds down, striking directly between the creature's blistered, bleed eyes. It drops its morningstar and falls into the webbing, silent, as its two pained companions still struggle against their bonds. The hulking badger bears down on the wolf creature (now) on the left, which, despite its intimidating appearance, is clearing having it worse than its kin. Five claws come swooping down, tearing through the fiend's chest. The five scars their are in flames, like the other ones, but this time the flames do not cease, growing stronger and stronger until they engulf it. The fiend grows, "Dariy, Moradin!!!" before its both flames and fiend are suddenly pulled into the black obelisk.

It's companion lashes out at the badger. Its fangs chomp into the celestial beast's neck, which then drips a transparent, bluish blood. It growls in response, focusing all its attention on the remaining fiend.

Norri is up. One (formerly) robed goblin remaining, and two bugbears, still entangled.

Whitney smiles as her hand ducks into her robes again, pulling a handful of sand and pushing all the power she can into the magics she casts the sand at the remaining two Bugbears, forcing the power with it.


OOC: Sleep, Empowered with an action point.
