(26+31=57 nonlethal damage) Rose breaks away from the mass of worms engulfing him, losing his weapons in the process but heading away as fast as he can.  (Acting on being panicked.)OOC: Kaelvorr - Dark One's Own Luck buff used for that saving throw vs. fear.Isida - I don't have anything entered for Gabriel except singing.  If you want to alter your action, feel free to let me know.Bloodweaver - Is the gargoyle maneuverable enough to <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/movement.htm" target="_blank">hover</a>?  If not, you need to describe yourself as flying around.  It does make a difference because you might incur attacks of opportunity.Shayuri - I know it's annoying to update your character sheets in mid-combat, but if there's anything radically different, please look into it.  It would be nice if Silhouette's sheet replaced Loriel's, for instance <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Pyrex - Post Aldred's 4th round action when you get a chance.Dichotomy - Sorry, but it looks like Rose has no choice for his action this round.  For what it's worth, it's not entirely a bad idea for him to get away from that situation.Voadam - I rolled your attack since I didn't see it (just instructions to attack.)  Sadly, I didn't roll very high.  "Snargle flees, retreating back into the corridor. (Acting on being frightened.)" has been removed.  I originally had this as a withdraw action, meaning no AOO from the golem.  You may want to do the same when you flee (since you can't take any other actions anyhow.)</blockquote>
