[LPF] Coils of Flame

[Maidhc O Casain]

Combat! (Mid-Round 01)

The mermaid and the two Eidolons charge forward into the room. The salamander slips Arianna/Tek's spear, allowing the point to float harmlessly past his ribcage, but he's not so deft as Drev wades into the fight and pounds him with a mighty wooden fist!

GM: Heinrich, Anaerion and Ellamin are up!

"Creatures of Mud is really the best insult you can throw at us? I would think more creatures of flesh and blood, but whatever. Now, whos' this Zarre de Flak guy..."

"Zjarre dhe Flaka"

"Thats what I said!"

Anaerion sighs, but feels Malkovian claw at Anaerion's chest, and realizes that he's trying to figure out what this Zjarre person is. Deciding to leave it to him, Anaerion instead moves closer into the room, trying to determine who is still in it. Seeing two additional creatures that neither Tal nor Drev has targets, Anaerion decides to attempt to blind them with his most powerful glitterdust, preventing a counter attack.

Anaerion's glittering cast fills the air around the two unengaged Salamanders. The leader - the one who spoke earlier - screams as he brushes briefly at his eyes, and both are covered in glittering motes.

Heinrich throws out his hands and shouts a few syllables in heavily accented Draconic, and Arianna and Drev feel their muscles energized and strengthened.

[sblock=OOC]The leader failed his save, the other flunky made his. Heinrich casts Haste on Arianna/Tek and Drev.

Leaves Ellamin to wrap Round 01 Part A.[/sblock]

 

[sunshadow21]

Ellamin moves forward, stopping at the entrance to the room, and as he stops, makes a noise somewhere between a howl and a scream that physically slams into all 3 salamanders.

F5 Salamander (1d20+8, 1d8+3=[8, 8], [7, 3])[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Ellamin's words slam into the Salamanders with palpable force, rocking them back on their tails . . . but these are made of sterner stuff that those previously encountered and they retaliate fiercely. The one lurking at the northern edge of the room and the leader both close with those brave souls who've entered their lair, thrusting with blazing spears. The blinded leader's spear thrust goes wide, but the other two work in flawless concert; their spear-tips penetrate Tek's thick hide. Though he's practically immune to the heat radiating from the weapons, the thrusts still hurt like all the hells.

GM: Party is up!

[sblock=Malkovian]While he's got no knowledge of the being of whom the Salamander spoke, Malkovian is able to translate the words loosely as "Flame in Darkness."[/sblock]

[Satin Knights]

Arianna drops her longspear and goes all natural with her attacks. Slipping between the blinded one and the wounded one, instead of staying between the two flunkies that were flanking her, she swings and claws repeatedly, but none of her strikes are connecting.

"Ah, a worthy foe at last. Onwards, my friends, to glory." Elliman seems almost jubilant as he starts to relate the tale of the time he and his fellow adventurers at the time took on a white dragon in the heights of the Seithr Mountains.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

Drevezh'korol briefly worries about leaving the wizardly types open to the advancing salamander but pushes the thought from his mind to focus on the one before him. After all, as soon as he and Teq kill this one they can move on to keep their companions from being pressed. Shifting to take advantage of Teq Oola's position he brings his fists to bear on the salamander. The first double handed smash is weak, barely a glancing blow for the wood man. The second and third attacks miss entirely as Drevezh'korol still is adjusting to the quickening magics affecting him.

Seeing Teq Oola's attacks miss Drevezh'korol frowns, "Luck is against us this battle. Let us hope our patrons of wind, wave, and snow will lend us the strength to prevail against these creatures of fire."

Elenka steps forward so that she can see into the chamber better. Quickly assessing the battlefield and seeing that Teq Oola is still flying she grins as she realizes this is the perfect opportunity to use a spell she has not yet had the chance to use. Casting her spell she causes a thirty foot deep, extra-dimensional pit to open up beneath the feet of the closest salamander.

Deciding that they needed more creatures to assist in the fight, Anaerion begins waving his hands around to summon more creatures to aid.

Malkovian says "So this be the dark flame's temple? Well I know a wizard who take that dark flame and bring the bright light back to it!"

OOC: Just leaves Heinrich to finish the round. [MENTION=49929]Scott DeWar[/MENTION] has posted that he's back in other threads, so I'll give him a little time to get caught up. Anaerion, Ariana and Heinrich will level at the end of this fight.
