Elenka and Drevezh'korol: summoner and wood man

Drevezh'korol stands still judging the battlefield and how best to tackle their opponents. Elenka is less considering and immediately reaches out to Drevezh'korol. A tiny scale falls from her fingers a moment before she touches the wood man's back. A few words of arcane power fall from her lips before she speaks quietly.

"Grow, my guardian. Mimic the treant..."

There is a continuous cracking sound as Drevezh'korol's wooden body stretches out to reach several feet taller than he normally stands. Powerful looking before, now he towers over Elenka. He stretches to accompanying creaks then turns his gaze to the nearest of flitting creatures. Both pairs of hands clasp together to form his now familiar double-fist holds and he swings at the creature.

GM: Noted Re: Scott DeWar. Thanks for the info. He didn't seem to want to enter, and he's not in a position where he can see anything well enough this round to do anything - he'll hold his action this round. Just leaves Ellamin, then!

[Maidhc O Casain]

The Salamander (Lesaar) takes a steps just out of Arianna's reach and into the fringes of the lava pool, and lofts a tiny cinder toward the other end of the room. The cinder is caught on the superheated air and whisked to the flat area in the midst of the party where it explodes into a swirling mass of flame! The fires engulf the end of the room and even swirl out through the doorway to singe Heinrich.

The Mephit on the east side of the room (Andgronakraks) draws a bead on the gesturing Anaerion and fires off three grayish missiles of arcane force. Three of the wizard's duplicates disappear with barely audible *pops*.

The Mephits swarm, moving in to attack the party or gesturing and shouting in what is obviously spell casting. Two of the Mephits move in on Drev and Elenka, swinging tiny little claws to little effect.

The final Mephit hovers out over the lava and unleashes a piercing scream that can be heard easily even over the rumbling of melting rock. The sound slams into Drev with physical force, tearing bits of bark from his flesh.

GM: Party is up!

The Lava Shrine (Updated)

[sblock=Combat!]
First, my sincere apologies - while I did post that there are islands of rock within the lava pool I forgot to mention that the darker spots in the lava are them (you probably guessed as much, though).

• Everyone other than Arianna/Tek takes 24 damage from a fireball. Reflex Save DC16 for half, and less any Fire Resistances, Ablative Barriers, etc. To make it easy on your GM, please let me know in your next post how many HP you ended up taking and how you reduced damage.
• Magic Missiles take out three of Anaerion's Mirror Images
• Mephit 01 attacks Elenka, Mephit 03 attacks Drev. Both miss. Drev may make an AoO vs. one of them as they close due to his extended reach.
• Drev takes 6 sonic damage from Mephit 02's Ear Piercing Scream, and is Dazed for 1 round (Fortitude Save DC 11 negates Daze and halves damage).

I'll update the stat blocks once I know how much damage everyone took from the fireball (and how much Drev took from the Scream).

OOC: Reflex Save:Reflex Save (1d20+11=19); 12 damage taken

Ellamin easily avoids the worst of the fireball as he throws his voice and speaks snarkily. "How cliche; a fireball from a fire creature. Here I thought you might actually be creative and interesting like some giants who had an argument with a dragon over the proper ownership of a cave." With that, he starts into the story of an older dragon, upon waking up from a long nap, went to check out some of his secondary living spaces, and found one of them occupied by a clan of giants, who proceeded to battle the dragon with everything from the skull of a goat they had just killed to an old pitted cauldron they used to make stew, and which already was filled very hot water in preparation for their supper.

OOC: Activating Inspire Courage +2, throwing his voice to J6 to make it seem like he moved.

 

[jackslate45]

The flames burn Anaerion, and he loses concentration. The summoning spell, now incomplete, fails to bring any help at all.

Thinking quickly, Anaerion sees the rock outcropping might be tall enough for a web spell...
[sblock=Actions]
Reflex Save: 1d20+7=8 Ouch. Now is not the time for 1's...
Concentration Check (9+6+2) +17 vs (10+ 24 + 5 = 39. Not even a nat 20 will save me now, but here goes:
1d20+17=27 Would made it if I had saved...

Mowgli, is that rock at I6/I7 a valid anchor point for web? now that they are closer, Anaeiron is going to try and slow the advance of some of these imps. They are our least priority right now, and taking them out of the fight will allow our heavy hitters to strike at the important targets.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

Elenka manages to avoid some of the damage caused by the fireball but Drevezh'korol takes the full force of the spell though the damage is mitigated somewhat by his protections. The scream is nothing more than a minor annoyance and Drevezh'korol shakes it off easily. As the mephits fly in for the attack Drevezh'korol batters the one nearest Elenka until it is lying unmoving on the cave floor. He then turns his attention to the one on his other side.

Elenka sees Drevezh'korol take a nasty blast of fire and wishes again that the group had pushed on while the fire protections were still in effect. She promises herself that if Heinrich doesn't get his backside in this cave and pull out some fancy magics she'll make his life miserable. Now she contents herself with healing most of the scorch marks on Drevezh'korol's bark-like skin.

Drevezh'korol and Elenka prepare to shift their position so that the group isn't so tightly gathered...

Note: all attacks go on Mephit 1 until it is dead, then target Mephit 3
Note: Drev's hp changed when he was made large. Detailed below.
Note: I'd like Drev to take a 5 ft step and Elenka to use her move but I need to know if Mephit 3 was killed.
