(OODM: I've been a very negligent DM, I think because my computer with all the notes and mapmaking stuff for this game is STILL down (over a month now). Sorry.)
ROUND 2
Alexi: You continue to hang back.
Blackwing: sticks with Alexi.
Titus: Finds himself next to a mephit and takes a bite, but can't penetrate the icy skin.
Kerith: (re AoO: I forgot. Don't matter. I just rolled and you would have missed anyway. Plus, you were prone.) Attacks the original mephit, scoring a CRITICAL HIT. Combined with his sneak attack, it is more than enough to bring the critter down.
Monster: The second mephit, having just popped into existence and seen its fellow chopped down, glares angrily at Kerith and attacks him with its claws, barely missing. (heals)
Norynth: You attack the remaining mephit, wielding your bastard sword with both hands. It twist aside at the last second and you do little more than gouge out a small chunk of ice from the floor.
Gertrude: Bites the mephit again, missing again.
Xengendalis: You begin casting Summon Monster I.
Michelle: (autopilot) Not much you can do... You hold back.
Foran: You fire another bolt at the remaining mephit. Amazingly, it veers straight between Oren and Norynth, missing them both by a hair, and plunks straight into the mephit's side. It screams in pain and frustration at the gaping wound.
Oren: You hold up your lantern, hoping the flame and heat will ward off the mephit or frighten it in some way, and back slowly away from it (5' step).
