Trakus will cast Monster summoning 4 (pick the type of monster you want Gru. Tarkus would not be picky) On the defensive.

Verra will Time-Hop the big critter (DC= D20 +12) during his partial action, if that fails he will shoot the creature twice with Rapid Shot (+20 to hit on each, Damage= 1d8+2d6+11 or 12 within 30'). If the creature is gone with Time-Hop, then Verra will target Ellyn of the Wands.
"I've got the big guy, I hope, check the side alcoves - that's where the fire blasts came from," Verra yells.
OCC: I don't think Verra would be stunned from the mind blast, he is a psion and would activate Mental Barrier against the Mind Blast (-3 to the DC of the Mind Blast). If he failed he would only lose 1d4 Charisma.

No waste spell, stupid brother! Heal me, then kill. The crazed half-orc shouts in the midst of battle.
Seeing the large, towering beast sporting four arms and wicked claws appear before him was not exactly heartening, nor was the fireball barrage coming form the next room. Severely burnt black, greasy hair, several ribs broken, and a smashed nose that dripped blood across Groknar's face did not stop the warrior, only delay him.
The half-orc backs away from the vicious dread Girallon, near the safety of Verra's uncanny arrows and whatever black magics the wizard could conjure, grabbing two potions from his bandoleer and draining both, healing his wounds (2d8+3) and increasing his speed.
OOC: Move near to Verra and Darian (move action), grab Potion of Haste (free action), grab Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (free action), drink Potion of Haste (standard action), drink Potion of Cure Serious Wounds (standard action).

OOC: If I get a good heal, about 30 points or so, then I'll stay. Otherwise, I scurry away like a little girl.

Tuskaar finally contributes something to the battle. The dire boar charges past the fireballed fighters and rams into the girallon. He takes a hit on the way in (9 damage) but returns a nasty bite (19 damage). Verra follows by time hopping the beast.
Ellyn of the Wands casts a spell, blasting Verra (5 damage), Darian (11 damage), Lysander (11 damage), and Tarkus (11 damage) with lightning. Verra returns fire, destroying two of Ellyn's images.
Bellus and William rush into the room, also aiming for the mage. Bellus feels an axe graze his arm (8 damage) just before he destroys one of the images. William gets in close enough to destroy another. They also spot the two other Wilder mages and leather-wrapped mind flayers.
While Tarkus works on his summoning, Groknar backs away and drinks the potions (11 healed). Zelestine moves through the door and engages one of the bound mind flayers (14 damage). Lysander follows and pummels the same target with greater concussion (16 damage).
Before Bellus can do much more he feels the invisible axeman strike again, hitting three times in quick successsion (18 damage).
The bald mage on the left side of the room casts two quick spells. Bellus is held and William is dominated.
The gnome on the other side of the room casts a spell at Tuskaar, but the dire boar ignores his phantasmal killer. Tuskar and Zelestine shrug off two mind blasts. Lysander is affected by one of them, but can still act (loss of Cha).
Actions, please. Darian, you can still act this round. Verra: 5 rounds of haste used. William: 4 rounds of haste used.

Verra will move to H5 with his partial action and fire two shots off at the bald mage with Rapid Shot (+21 to hit on each, Damage= 1d8+2d6+12 as I'm within 30').
Verra will erect a Tower of Iron Will if attacked psionically (protecting all those withing 10' radius defense and provides one point of hardness to stat damage)

On one hand, William had Haste and Resistance, and Bellus had somehow tricked several of his wands into functioning for a non-spellcaster. On the other hand, there were apparently - it was hard to see since some fools were blocking his path - several hasted wizards possibly with other spells in effect and an Improved Invisible combatant. Some Dispel Magics would hinder both sides. When Bellus hit by a Hold spell and William by Dominate Person, deciding which spells to employ became much easier.
Under of the effects of the Haste dweomer, a wizard could incant 2 spells essentially at once. Darian did so, as the current situation seemed rather . . . unfortunate. Both the half orcs had done an excellent job absorbing enemy attacks - one had even withdrawn for healing, smart move, that - and now Bellus and William were enchanted. " . . . Discantation!" Two green spheres streak outward from Darian's outstretched hands, arc over the heads of Tarkus and Lysander, then detonate upon reaching Bellus. Everyone within 30ft of Bellus is showered with green-white wisps of antimagic.
Then he walks foward [to F5], waiting for the path to clean a bit before attempting to dart through the narrow doorway. "Ellwyn of the Wands!" he shouts out, "Your cowardly attempts at magical assassination are a affront to the honor of all civilized wizards. If that pathetic variation on Lightning Bolt is the best you have to offer, then your power cannot stand before us. If you surrender now, the matter of your crimes can be handled in a more civilized manner." There's nothing like a touch of boldness when in a tough spot. Of course, we're in a tough spot because I haven't yet revealed the full extent of my spells.

OOC: Read my action please, Argent, and then reconsider your action else I'll die. Not that such has stopped you before, however.
