Brother Phlox saw contagion, and where there was contagion, it was his duty to stamp it out. He struck one of the crystalline creatures with his staff and foot, and it stumbled away as he retreated downhill.Gunthar and Sanderson moved northward together, somewhat getting in each other's way. The serpent-folk conjured a burst of flames that covered two of the creatures while a civilian was sent free of the blast. The old dwarf flung a line and hook into the receding flames and pulled a smoldering creature toward himself.Captain Sartell told Glau, as the plasmoid gathered a bucket and stool, "We'll take a moment to see if we can't help a few of these folks and see what we're dealing with, but I plan to return to the ship as soon as possible. We need to call back the crew on leave."The little green man turned red and spiky, and he slid uphill faster than his little legs ought to move. The captain followed, and they took on the two creatures that had been burned by Sanderson's flames, both downing the creatures after several blows.Nic followed, calling to the townsfolk while getting his shield out. He charged up a gauntlet and fired a bolt of lightning at the creature that Phlox had caused to stumble, and it cracked in the middle and fell to the ground.The enormous crystalline tentacle grew ever so larger overhead, and it swung about, destroying a tower and scattering stones for hundreds of yards. One such stone fell toward the group that included Gunthar, Sanderson, and Captain Sartell. It smashed heavily to the ground as they scattered to avoid it.The crowd of commoners fled southward, but even as they did, more townsfolk fled from the north, pouring through and under the market archway, followed by a few more of the crystalline creatures.[ooc]Gunthar did 10 to CB2; Sanderson did 14 to CB1 & 7 to CB2;  Phlox did 14 to CB3; Glau did 14 to CB1; Cpt Sartell did 21 to CB2; Nic did 16 to CB3. All 3 die. Tentacle flings debris. Gunthar & Sanderson must make a dc12 DEX save or take 9 damage.[/ooc][spoiler="Rolls"]Sanderson's Burning Hands<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270807" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270807" target="_blank">CB1 dc15 DEX Save: 1D20-1 = [12]-1 = 11</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270807" target="_blank">CB2 dc15 DEX Save: 1D20-1 = [18]-1 = 17</a>Cpt Sartell <a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270808" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270808" target="_blank">Sword vs CB2: 1D20+5 = [9]+5 = 14 for 1D6+3 = [5]+3 = 8</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270808" target="_blank">Sword vs CB2: 1D20+5 = [12]+5 = 17 for 2D6+3 = [6]+3 = 9</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270808" target="_blank">Dagger vs CB2: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22 for 1D4+3 = [1]+3 = 4</a>Tentacle: <a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270809" target="_blank">Debris Damage: 2D6 = [3, 6] = 9</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=270809" target="_blank">Sartell dc12 DEX Save: 1D20+3 = [13]+3 = 16</a>[/spoiler]</blockquote>
