Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrow" data-source="post: 704885" data-attributes="member: 301">Against the Elves session 5Rhuun, seeing the skeletons mobbing one of Gariarch’s lieutenants ineffectually moved to take advantage of the chaos.  She ran, leaping over a firepit and tumbling between the skeletons to get in position for a lethal double strike with axe and dagger.  She was able to use the distraction caused by the skeletons to strike at the lieutenant's vitals.  However, he struck back viciously with his spiked chain.Thar, still invisible, moved behind Rhuun to heal her.  Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Gariarch and his other lieutenants skillfully plucking Foleful’s summoned stirges off of Gariarch’s neck and shoulders and smashing them.  Atarax, too stepped behind Rhuun, liberally using his healing wand and protection from evil spell to keep her in the fight.Kriggle charged Gariarch, doing considerable damage.  Unfortunately, the skillful bugbear was able to disarm Kriggle and the kobald paladin was temporarily distracted as he scrambled for his lance.While the battle raged Foleful moved to further neutralize Gariarch’s bugbear followers.  A pair of stinking clouds at either end of the cavern incapacitated most of the bugbears.  No one seemed to notice that the vile clouds were also effecting the goblin slaves chained to the walls.  The center of the cavern, the only part relatively clear of confused, nauseated bugbears became a killing field.  Foleful cast a grease spell beneath Gariarch’s feet, but the bugbear nimbly leapt aside.Krikara left off firing at the bugbear minions to fire an arrow enchanted with a darkness spell at Gariarch.  As he disappeared in a globe of darkness she scampered across the ceiling, looking for a new hiding place.  It was not lost on the darkcreeper that with his spiked chain Gariarch, if he got close enough, could pluck her off the ceiling and send her tumbling into the cavern below.  Kriggle, having retrieved his lance, charged the lieutenant who had been helping Gariarch while Mikek stepped up to assist Rhuun.  Thar left Rhuun in Atarax’s care to heal Kriggle as he prepared for another attack.At the same moment Gariarch appeared.  Clearly healed, he flew out of the stinking cloud sailing over the party’s heads.   The lieutenants turned their full attention to Kriggle and Mikek, but it was for not.  Bolstered by Atarax’s singing, a devastating series of blows from Kriggle’s lance and an arrow from Krikara’s bow brought down the two formidable adversaries, and the party turned their attention toward Gariarch.</blockquote>
