Deciding to leave the front apes to Lo-Kag and Morph, the Invisible Gitz charge forward to help Asenfel, he then jumps in the air, directing his kick to the ape's head, which is bent backwards at an obscene angle.
As the rest of the apes close to melee with the various party members, they all distort their forms -- becoming grotesque tentacled ape-shaped masses. This odd visage has an unsettling effect on the group. [-1 morale penalty on attacks for group]
The ape closest to Asenfel changes tactics and lunges at the man with both tentacle-like arms. They tear large chunks in the exposed skin of the warlock, then proceed to rend him from limb to limb, while the things mouth bites down hard on his left bicep.
The ape that is harrying the spellcasters ignores the warforged warrior and continues his assault upon the small gnome -- another flurry of vicious blows all connect and the gnome does all he can do to stay upright.
Two more apes converge on Asenfel/Void, both landing a claw swipe on the nimble gith, opening large lacerations on his thighs and arms.
As Davan reaches down and places his hand Darv's back, one of the ape creatures appears unaffected by the sanctuary provided by the Host, lunging at the priest and drawing blood with its unnatural tentacles. Focused solely on being a conduit of positive energy, Davan sends a jolt of divine energy into the gnome. [Concentration check successful]
Immediately after, the gnome barks out a word and instanteously disappears. He reappears near the wagon and scans the battlefield for any wounded.
Morph soaring above the battlefield flies back closer to his companions after unleashing the fireball on the apes. Seeking to keep the wounded apes off balance his invokes another spell. A burst of glittering shards envelops the simians, keeping them from hiding in the jungle and sets them trying to rub the blinding spell from their eyes.
Dreadnought hesitates for a moment on seeing the bizarre and horrible new shapes, but then lays into the transformed beasts with renewed vigor; his sword singing a terrible song of death as it hews and hacks!
Asenfel retreats backwards him as he hears the blade of Dreadnought strike true. He turns and fills the ape, which had set up a flanking position, next to Void with eldritch energy until it bursts from the inside and collapses on the ground dead.
Lo-Kag thrusts his large spear towards one of the tentacled masses, skewering it in the chest, his second thrust sails low, causing the tip of the spear to stick several feet into the dirt.
