Drekhad’s seems to become more menacing and focused even as he apparently draws strength from the very ground beneath his feet. He strikes with all of his weight, and more besides, driving his blade deep into the leg of the blackscale that stands before him.
(It’s a -4 penalty for enemies you threaten).

Talas steps closer to the blackscale, favoring offense once more. He cries out, "aim high and hope this works!" He places a downward swing at the blackscale before spinning the angle of the flail and bringing it back up to strike above his head. His flail lands a glancing blow, but his spell fails to affect the creature.

Chevri steps further into the undergrowth and begins to cast a spell.

Bregan steps back to fire another arrow, but he misjudges the size of his enemy and is unable to escape the creature’s reach. However his nimbleness and Drekhad’s intimidating glare keep him safe, for the moment. The distraction of his narrow escape is enough to spoil his shot, however.


I still need actions for Alexa and Hedowin.

Hedowin studies the new creature harshly, furrowing his brow as his prior studies flash through the back of his mind.

While his mind is occupied, he steps slightly back and away from the melee fighting going on to his right.

Then draws his trusty wand from his side and says,"Contego", the gem on the tip glows briefly then envelopes the wizard once more within a protective shell.

[Redclaw]

[sblock=Hedowin] You recognize this creature as a dracotaur, a draconic version of a centaur. You know that they are intelligent and often cruel, that they are immune to paralysis and sleep, like true dragons. You also know that they possess the ability to spit fire, but can't do so very often. They are able to use both their bite and their tails to attack enemies. [/sblock]

Hedowin steps back, draws a wand, and casts shield on himself.

The dracotaur charges into the thick of the battle, but avoids the two heavily-armored warriors. Instead he approaches the three less-armored intruders. He closes with Hedowin, but stabs past the wizard with his spear, barely missing Chevri. As he does so he hisses at the lizardfolk in draconic.
[sblock=draconic] You can’t hurt them if you don’t hit them. Focus your attacks. [/sblock]

The blackscales continue their assault on Drekhad, taking advantage of their flanking positions. Their swings seem to be more accurate but less powerful. The greatclub wielded by the magically weakened creature connects with the kalashtar, dealing 7 points of damage, and the other lizardfolk manages to dig his teeth into Drekhad’s shoulder, dealing an additional 8 points.

Talas 42/42 AC 22

Talas seeing the large creature go towards their less armored comrades inspires Talas to strike with impunity, favoring a quick ending to this fight. Lightning awashes his flail as he strikes at the blackscale.

[sblock=ooc]17 to hit. Using AP 3 on the AP, total 20 to hit. 25 damage if it succeeds. If this drops the blackscale, Talas will pull a scroll of true strike from his belt. If not, he will stand his ground.[/sblock]

Drekhad will expend his psionic focus to recover Mountain Hammer as a swift action with his one psionic feat since he doesn't otherwise have a Stone Dragon manuever up. He will then stone power for 5 and attack one of the blackscales with Mountain Hammer. "The light simply will not ever let me die to the likes of you two!"

Hedowin

"My word, I have only read about such a creature in books before -- how exciting to actually get to kill one." He says mainly to himself.

Somewhat louder,"This creature is a dracotaur, he can't spit the fire all the time, luckily it takes a while for him to recharge. But he is part dragon and part centaur -- quite an odd mix."

He listens to the dracotaurs comments to his troops.

"Not quite the motivation leader though."

He steps back, continuing his best to avoid the larger creatures blows and begins the gestures while slowly chanting "Niteo Pulvis". A burst of silvery dust appears slightly behind the dracotaur, enveloping it, and the blackscale on the steps.


[sblock=OOC]
5' step to F25, cast Glitterdust on the defensive (Concentration is +13 with combat casting), centered on E20, hitting V and L2. Will Save DC15 to avoid blindness.

Concentration Check for cast defensively (1d20+13=24)

btw, which blackscale has the STR damage? L1 or L2?

Chevri gave a startled yelp as the creature lashed out with its spear- she knew that she had no place in close combat with such a monstrosity. As soon as her spell was complete, she stepped away and began to spin the sling that had been curled in her left hand- while the jungle seemed to hinder her movement not at all, it did no favors to her aim...

OOC: Once her spell's one-round CT is done, 5-foot step to H 26; attack the dracotaur with sling (at a mighty +2 total with the -4 for firing into melee; roll 13; http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1535043/ )

Drekhad seems to focus inwardly for a moment, then seems to draw strength from the ground as he swings at the blackscale, once again unable to draw an lizardfolk blood.

Talas seeing the large creature go towards their less armored comrades inspires Talas to strike with impunity, favoring a quick ending to this fight. Lightning awashes his flail as he strikes at the blackscale. (I’m assuming he cast shocking grasp? Based on that assumption I’ll roll an AoO for the blackscale.) His momentary distraction leaves him open to an attack, but Drekhad’s intimidating presence is enough to send the enemy’s club wide of its mark. Talas’ flail strikes true, and the blackscale collapses at his feet. Talas then removes a scroll from his pack.

Chevri gave a startled yelp as the creature lashed out with its spear- she knew that she had no place in close combat with such a monstrosity. As soon as her spell was complete, she stepped away and began to spin the sling that had been curled in her left hand- while the jungle seemed to hinder her movement not at all, it did no favors to her aim, and her stone sails wide. Meanwhile, the badger she summoned appears behind the remaining lizardfolk and promptly slashes it with tooth and claw, dealing a total of 9 damage.

Bregan steps back and launches an arrow at the dracotaur. He watches with satisfaction as it sinks into the beast’s flank.

Hedowin steps back, continuing his best to avoid the larger creatures blows and begins the gestures while slowly chanting "Niteo Pulvis". A burst of silvery dust appears slightly behind the dracotaur, enveloping it, and the blackscale on the steps. The lizardfolk seems to lose focus on Drekhad.

The dracotaur steps in toward Hedowin, and once again stabs at Chevri with its spear. Once again her defenses prove too much for it. It then turns its jaws and tail on the young mage. Its teeth sink into his shoulder, dealing 8 points of damage.

The remaining lizardfolk howls in rage and steps to the side, then smashes its club into the Kalashtar (missing a crit by 1, thanks to the Ray of Enfeeblement) for 15 damage.
