[QUOTE="cmbarona, post: 4627560, member: 71281"] For those of you interested in the homebrewed elementals for the bar fight scene, I should explain a bit of my campaign setting first. Everything is happening in and around a sprawling metropolis. It's a very magepunk-ish setting, where they have almost everything we do, but invented with magic. So, for example, they have computers: lightning elementals power illusion enchantments embedded in crystal displays, and they communicate with each other in Primordial (the programming language of this world) across copper wires. The tavern keeps a big one up to display the latest gladiatorial matches. The bar has a huge freezer/refrigerator for their drinks. And they keep everything lit by tiny fire elementals at each table and along the wall. The elementals will go haywire and attack the bar, setting up a continued investigation for future sessions. Anyway, here are the stats. I designed them with Monster Maker 3.4 by Asmor (thanks!).
