"Unfortunately," says Kael in a subdued, yet straight-forward tone. "I do not. I'm more of a blast my foes into charcoal type of practitioner. Best I could do would be to lay an alarm that would give us a modest amount of warning."

Not much need for an alarm spell....
Two youngish ogre-kin burst through the northern door and charge towards you.
The first, leading the charge, is a hairless and pale bloated thing with malformed, stumpy legs (clearly, by the way he runs, they still work fine) and a wide mouth filled with ragged teeth. He is holding an ogre-hook in one hand, and a skull in the other. As he runs towards you he bellows out a war-cry in a voice that cracks and squeeks, and throws the skull at you. It clatters harmlessly off the chair. Just a skull.
Behind him moves another youth, this one seemingly less keen to make contact as his run appears half-hearted. His limbs bend in strange ways, but he’s blessed to not have any other hideous deformity and almost looks human. The hapless fool reeks of his own waste and appears to be wearing hideously stained clothing.
Two young ogre-kin ... no problem!
Except that behind you, in the room in which Danth, Kael, and Jovik stand, the floor once again vibrates and rattles.
Mal barks. His warning coming just a second before the floorboards explode upwards and a strange, plant-like creature, with long, seeking arms of thorns, pulls itself from the gaping hole and blocks the way back out of the house.

Kael AC: 20; Mal AC: 26; Spells Remaning - 1: 5; 2: 5; 3: 3
Turning toward the plant-thing eruption, Kael pulls forth from source of eldritch power and a deep, crimson ray of fiery might lances forth at the rearward foe. Mal moves into a protective position by his partner's side.

Jokad smiles grimly to himself as the ragged ogre-kin charge as predicted. He holds his ground and waits for his opportunity to attack. He swings to maximize his damage hoping to fell his foes quickly.
He spares not a glance at the rending noise behind him. Hoping his friends can deal with the menace.

OOC: Yes - partly why my AT and damage bonuses are so high right now.
My math [sblock] Probably also worth mentioning for Hew's benefit that my AT/Dmg numbers factor in that Jokad is using PWR AT (-2 to hit, +4 dmg), Species enemy (+2 AT & Dmg), and RAGING (+2 to AT & Dmg)
So base stat line vs Ogre/Giants right now = +14/ +9 to hit; 1d8+13 sword + 1d6 fire
AC is 20 (22 within 10' of Danth), HPs 86/72 [/sblock]

Danth curses, knowing that his best magics had been spent restoring Jokad and the rangers. Still, perhaps he had something that could delay this plant beast, at least until his marital-minded companions were finished with the ogre-kin.
Stepping back away from the plant creature, Danth raises his voice in prayer to the Dawnflower, asking her to send one of her minions to aid them against the evil residing within this place...
AC: 22/24 vrs. EVIL, Hit Points: 56/56
INITIATIVE: 14
5' step back toward fireplace, cast augmented summon monster III (since 1 round casting time, I'll decide on exactly what creature he summons next round when it appears, if that's cool?)
Spells in Effect
- Magic Circle vrs Evil, duration <70 minutes (remember everyone within 10' of Danth gets +2 to AC and Saves vrs EVIL)
- Divine Favor on self, round 6 (?) of 10 (+2 attack and damage bonus)
[sblock=Spells Prepared]
- Level 0: Detect Magic, Light, Guidance, Read Magic
- Level 1: Command, Bless, Shield of Faith,Divine Favor + (d) Cure Light Wounds
- Level 2: Deific Vengeance (CD),Hold Person, Lesser Restoration x 2 (normally Resist Energy, Silence) + (d) Heat Metal
- Level 3:Summon Monster III, Magic Circle vrs Evil, Dispel Magic + (d)Searing Light
- Level 4:Restoration x 2 (normally Holy Smite, Summon Monster IV) + (d) Fire Shield

OOC:
To Rhun: no problem with you waiting to decide on what creature to summon next round/end of round.
To Frostrune: I trust you (and the rest of the guys) when it comes to working out the math behind the rolls. 2.5 years in now, I think you know I pretty much rely on you all to keep track of the small stuff and let me focus on the bigger picture. I haven't yet seen a single fudged roll, so the trust level is very high!

Init Order: Tendriculos (19), Danth (14), Jovik (11), 2 Ogre-kin (9), Kael (7), Jokad (6)
The weird plant thing seems intent on reaching the doorway, lashing out several long tendrils/tentacles towards Jovik, who stands between it and the door (5 foot move towards the door, then reach attach to Jovik).
It lashes out at Jovik with its first tendril. The rogue manages to bash it away, but the second tendril lashes round him, the thick thorns catching on his flesh and armour and causing the young man to scream in pain.
It lifts Jovik up into the air and attempts to swallow the young man. Its teeth close over Jovik, biting deep into him. He can feel the cold of pain and fear, and perhaps impending death.
(OOC: Jovik hit by a tendril and bite attack for 26hp damage

What condition is Jovik in now? He is being held by the tendriculos, which next round will be attempting to swallow the young man. The "being held" is not a grapple - just some colour - for the purpose of his action, Jovik can act with free movement)
Danth manages to step back and complete his divine casting.
OOC: Jovik - action please. Others - to follow tomorrow. Time for my bed!
