The warrior proves to be too wiley a target, but they latch onto the other two and start squeezing the life out of them. Meanwhile, Weylyn, Jacobson and Lem continue swinging weapons and fists, slowly beating down their enemies. Weylyn, particularly, seems to be weathering the goings on with practiced ease, seemingly undisturbed by the flurry of magic and arms around him.Braving the writhing tentacles, Giovanni, the wizard, manages to cast a spell. Magical bolts fly from his hand, but impact harmlessly on Menik's invisible shield. He curses under his breath. The rogue, Alicia, manages to wiggle out of the tentacles and step free of the area, but between Jacobson's assualt and the squeezing, looks close to expiring. The warrior and the other man return blows to Weylyn and Lem, but neither connect.The boggards exercise the better part of valor, and flee south, along the east cave wall. The largest one keeps his body imposed between Menik and the king the entire time. Menik and virtually feel his gaze as he passes by, and might even be thankful looks cannot kill. Well, normally, anyway--magic knows no bounds.As he leaves, the King croaks out, "Fine, work it out, Venzannnssss. Winner can take the thing, and go. Leave the Boggards alone, we want no more of this!" With that, he is gone, just the sound of flippers on moist rock are all that remain as you turn your attention back to the immediate threat...[sblock=Combat Stuff]Round 2 (PCs+WhiteCloaks):- Menik casts Black Tentacles, hitting Alicia and Giovanni and missing Sean. The tentacles do 1d6+4 damage (9, rolled for the player) to Alicia and Giovanni.- Lem does 11 damage to Sean, total of physical and fire.- Macabee can be heard moving away from the moving westward away from the boggards, still invisible.- Weylyn attacks Sean, doing 26 damage in two swings.- Jacobson attacks Alicia, hitting once for 11 damage.Round 2 (Venzans):- Alicia uses escape artist to escape the tentacles and steps one square south.- Sean moves into the water square, provoking AoO from Weylyn and Lem. He attacks Lem once, missing by one.- Georgio attacks Weylyn twice, missing, and steps away.- Giovanni casts magic missile, having to brave a concentration check to do so. He singles out Menik for all 5 missiles for 20 damage including evocationist bonus damage. However, Menik has shield, so no damage is taken.Round 2 (Boggards):- All three Boggards double move south, the big one coming within 15 feet of Menik, and off the map.Combat ActorsJacobson: AC 28, 0 Damage, Haste 3rMacabee: AC 20, 0 Damage, Haste 3rMenik: AC 22, 15 Damage, Mage Armor, Shield, Haste 3rWeylyn: AC 22, 19 Damage, Haste 3rLem: AC 27, Haste 3rBoggard: AC 14, 0 DamagePriest King: AC 25, 0 DamageBoggard Champion: AC 23, 0 DamageSean Aloghersie: AC 23, 50 DamageGiovanni Sentesie: AC 15, 9 Damage, grappledAlicia Novertia: AC 18, 29 DamageGeorgio Padwanis: AC 23, 0 DamageMap: <a href="http://beta.ditzie.com/92263/58620ab0d5a75" target="_blank">http://beta.ditzie.com/92263/58620ab0d5a75</a>Notes:(1) Water squares are merely wet cave floor, and not very deep. If you treat it as difficult terrain when you move, there is no effect. If you don't, DC 10 Acrobatics check or fall down.(2) There is a way of placing Black Tentacles so that they do what you would like, but remember, such spells are actually centered on intersections, not the square itself. I chose JK-45 as the intersection that does what you would like. By the time it's said and done, Alicia, Jacobson, Weylyn and Lem are on the edge of the area.Everyone is up. Lem has one AoO on Sean.[/sblock]</blockquote>
