Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hrothgar" data-source="post: 3472715" data-attributes="member: 22226">OOC: Thanks, Bilhbo.  I assumed the charms had been used, but I was going to call for rolls if you didn't mention using them. OK, I just rolled randomly (except for Herger, whose post said he had a stone charm at the time of the attack: Kaela, Lodric, Mardo, and Herger. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> The searing heat of the ravished land erupts with the Fell, blasting the Heroes with incredible force.  Starhl wastes little time, smashing his sword down on one of the Fell struggling to free itself from hot ash.  Its skull shatters into brilliant flaming shards as its body slips back beneath the earth.  Herger's heavy axe cleaves a Fell in twain, its upper torso tossed tens of feet across the ashy plain.  Its screams of rage and pain are almost comical as it pulls itself in a wild panicked surge back toward the Heroes to fall short, finally subduing to Herger's devastating attack.  Even Mardo's deadly sling cracks the skull of a rising Fell, slowing it temporarily.  Same old Fell.  If anything, the Shadow's minions were predictable.  The outcome of this battle was already decided.  Or was it?It was Valurel that discovers that these Fell were not what they seemed.  Ripping the skull from an emerging Fell, the Ghost's sleeves immediately erupt in flames as his hands blister and crack from the heat.  Gasping in pain, Valurel staggers back trying to extinguish the flames on his arms.OOC: I need a Reflex save for Valurel to see if he can extinguish the flames.  Valurel takes five points of fire damage.Lodric's powerful punch puts his fist and arm in the rib cage of an attacking Fell, the creature scratching at his chest and neck.  Lodric gasps as searing pain runs up his arm from the Fell's heat.  Only the stone protects the Erenlander from certain immolation.Nearby, Cyz screams in fear as her dress catches in fire, the result of her powerful kick smashing the rib cage of an emerging Fell.Panic rising, Kaela weaves Aryth's magic into a physical restraint, an elastic web of sticky stands that cover the horse and emerging Fell.  The web immediately ignites, burning Fell and horse.  To the Heroes horror, out of the conflagration stalk the Fell, their bodies wreathed in flame.  Oblivious to the heat, the Fell stumble forward, arms outstretched.  Nearby, other parts of the ashen plain erupt as more Fell crawl forth, summoned by the hoarse, agonized cries of their brethren.  One thing was obvious, these Fell were nothing like what the Heroes had already faced.OOC: OK, the surprise round is over.  Of the original twelve Fell, three are downed by Starhl, Herger, and Valurel.  Mardo, Lodric, and Cyz have damaged another three.  Do the Heroes still wish to stay and fight?  Round one begins once I get Hero actions.</blockquote>
