Staying close to the slope, Kushnak backs up Eskard.
[sblock=ooc]Move west 10'. Ready to attack one if I can reach it.[/sblock]

Bazrim fires his wand, and the aberration screeches.
"Good," Nethezar says, "I don't have to do that now." The cleric drops his morningstar, retrieves his light crossbow, and fires. But his shot is utterly abysmal, nearly backfiring into his face. "Dammit... MORE!"
Erdolliel drops her rope and fires, but her shot is also wide.
Kushnak moves for a better position.
Meanwhile, Eskard also fails to find the mark.
Finally, the two aberrations move. They seem to move incredibly fast, even while climbing. The first climbs above Nethezar, clinging to the wall. It strikes the cleric with a long arm-like limb. It also tries to catch hold of the cleric's throat, but can't mantain a hold.
The second quickly darts nearly above Eskard, also clinging to the wall. It tries to grab the barbarian, but the half-orc easily dodges.

Kushnak waits a moment, then moves up to take Eskard's place before attacking the things.
[sblock=ooc]Delay, go after Eskard. Move 10' W then onto the slope (total 30' moved I think). Looks like I might provoke. Then attack #1.[/sblock]

Bazrim's wands nearly drops the first aberration.
Without the strength to strike the cleric, Nethezar is easily able to reload his crossbow and shoot the thing down from the wall.
While Kushnak waits, Erdolliel and Eskard again fail to find their mark. At least the second aberration wasn't able to take advantage of the opening in Eskard's defenses.
Kushnak drops his sword and fires his crossbow at the aberration, but also fails to hit.
While the first bleeds, the second creature climbs above Nethezar. The first swing misses, but with the second, the creature grabs onto the cleric by the throat and actually lifts him slightly off the group. Its powerful limb chokes the cleric. Nethezar makes gasping noises, but no real sound comes out. The cleric is on the verge of collapse already.
[sblock=OOC][edit]I've incorporated m_n's updated action. But I forgot to move him back the 10' before posting the map. Oh well. So he's 10' east of where the map shows.[/edit]
Bazrim: wands 1, 8 damage, disables it
Nethezar: reloads xbow; shoots 1 (1 doesn't take an AoO, since its disabled), 17+ hit, 7 damage, drops it
Erdolliel: moves; shoots 2, 2+ miss
Kushnak: delays
Eskard: moves
2: AoO, 13+ miss
Eskard: shoots 2, 8+ miss
Kushnak: stops delaying; drops; draws; shoots 2, 9+ miss
1: bleeds
2: moves above N (I THINK it can make a 5-foot step while climbing, as it has a climb speed); attacks N, 7+ miss, 17+ hit, 5 damage, grapple 3+ vs 2+ (wow) success, constrict 6 damage, grapple 10+ v 3+ success, constrict 6 damage
Bazrim (20): 3 damage
Nethezar (22): 23 damage
Erdolliel (13): 2 damage
Kushnak (slower 13):
Eskard (12): 3 damage
1 (10): 23 damage; unconscious & dying
