Showdown: Round 9
Changing tact, Lorth throws a rain of blows at the brute. But its magical defenses easily knock them aside. [AC 1, AC 14 miss] The priest thrusts at the heavy by the door, but is knocked aside by the man's shield. [AC 15 misses]
While Genithar waits for his moment, Mathew finally pushes his way in the room---only to see smoke. He can hear combat, but sees nothing! That, however, does not deter the homunculi. The sleek hound bites at a heavy, who desparetely uses his shield to block the jaws. But the distraction is enough for the wispy smoke, who uses the it to leap off and bite the man's jugular! [Heavy moderately wounded]
Not seeing an opening, the wizard wards himself with his weapon. [Full defense]
The heavies press the offense. As the glow fades about the heavy's hand, he curses. Switching to his weapon, he chops at the shifter, only to miss. Meanwhile, the other slices madly at the wispy creature at its throat, but the swings are way off.
The brute sneers at the newcomers. Need toys to fight for you! Instead, he brings his massive sword down heavily upon Lorth. The shifter crashes to the ground! [Hit; 7hp; dying]

ooc; well, crap. Okay, the relief team is here, let's see what we can pull out
Hearing the shifter gurgle as his smoke enshrouded figure collapses once again, the Wizard brings his blade back into the horizontal guard he favors. Then, yells out a stream of lyrical gibberish that can only be elvish.
[sblock=Elven]Mathew! Command Fetch to snatch the first potion it sees! We need the healing for Lorth![/sblock]
Tanglefoot still in one hand, Genithar waits for the opportune moment and continues to weave his blade around him as he shouts in common, 'Corran! Aid Doggie!'
ooc; continue total D

Showdown: Round 10
As Lorth continues to bleed, Corran manages to slice at the heavy with such fury to put him on guard, distracting him. [Aid another succeeds] Mathew, still unable to see anything, grips the stone firmly, visuallizing a potion, and yells his command. Through the connection, he think it managed to work! [UMD 21 succeeds]
Launching itself bodily, the metal hound slams its heavy to the floor, savaging it. Electricity and blood fill the air! [AC 17 hits; 11hp; dying] The smokey shadow, meanwhile, leaps onto the brute, but not before a lucky strike cuts out a huge swatch of material! [Fetch hit for 10hp; moderately wounded] The blow has one lucky consequence, however; the brute fails to note the homunculus pocket one of his potions!
Keeping up his defenses, Genithar is forced to watch the thugs try to tear into the priest! Luckily the smoke makes the standing heavy overshoot. The brute is less distracted, but his momentum is off---though the strike comes uncomfortably close!

ooc; Is M's position on the map correct? Dre and all, seriously! For a group without a bunch of armor or even weapons (looking at you, Mel), we've done pretty awesome! Though obviously Thunderbanner's creations have helped (and hindered!). All in all, a great Addy. Kudos to GM...3 up! Let's see if we can make if four. IVV, if you're out there, chime in! Let's take it to them with...uh, Wizard's style?
The crash of metal upon metal and the buzzing bite of the magi-canical 'toy' cause a lusty'Koooooooth!' to rip from Genithar's all too dry throat. Hoping the tide of the battle has begun to turn, the Wizard visualizes the combatants amidst the smoke in his keen mind's eye.
Nodding, the Wizard then yells out, 'Hunter! Protect small one! Block prey's escape! Mathew, Doggie to black marked face!'
ooc;Should the shadowy minion of his employer appear and hand him a potion:
Amazed at the dark blot of the smoky creature that appears, the wizard quickly snatches the proffered vial, immediately kneeling into the duller gray alchemical smoke, bringing his sword up at into a cross chest guard. Making sure none rush to threaten him, he roughly pops the top from the potion and leans forward, desperately searching for Lorth's face and mouth. Watching for errant blows from the aberrant soldiers, Genithar pours the mystery potion down the shaggy shifter's throat.
ooc;Should the shadowy minion of his employer NOT appear and hand him a potion: G delays until the top of the round, switching sword for tangle foot bag in his primary hand.

Corran hears the wizard's advice, but chooses to stay in the relative safety of the smoke. He again tries to distract an opponent to open him up to Doggie's tender mercies.
[sblock=ooc] aid other to distract the brute for Doggie's attack. [/sblock]
Drerek, is Lorth going to spend an AP to stabilize, or should I be trying to get in position for a cure minor?

ooc; no doubt to both SG, looking forward to update. Heh, the smoke IS saving our tails, nice move 'Claw.
Yes, action point to stabalize for Lorth please.

Showdown: Round 11
Lorth's wounds stabilize. [AP spent] Beside him, Corran presses the attack selflessly, and with a well timed thrust, provides aide. [Aid another] Mathew, meanwhile, attempts to redirect Fetch... but the stone is cold and lifeless. [UMD 14 fails].
Undirected, the homunculi continue their actions. Doggie emerges from the fog and nips at the brute's heels. The brute, however, easily dodges the clumsy bite. The wisp pulls away from the brute, and, dodging the brute and heavy's swipes, brings the potion to its 'master' Mathew.
Genithar curses as Fetch moves past him, and waits instead for his moment. [Delay]
The two thugs chuckle, apparently confident now. The heavy's blow is wide, but the brute's blow is true. With a gurgle, Corran collapses! [Brute hits; 11hp; dying]

ooc; man, this is NOT good. Well Mel, looks like you and I are left. You've got Corran's Morningstar, yeah? How many infusions? Anything that will help us heal downed allies? Or Buff up you or me? Also, any offensive infusions? Or Offensive Alchemical items your PC is carrying? I suggest you use an Action Point for your next UMD roll. STONEGOD, is fetch on Mathew's sqr? What sort of action is receiving the potion from it? We GOTTA pull this out!
With a shout of, 'Corrrrraaaan! No! Damn you all, false Gods!' the Wizard fights back a wave of overwhelming emotions; scalding loss, seizing fear, but mostly a blooming hot rage.
With an almost feral growl, that would do Lorth proud, Genithar takes charge of his future, mentally clamping down upon the dizzying emotions and shouting orders in the blink of an eye, 'Mathew, get the potion and cure Lorth! Doggie and Fetch on full attack!
Catching sight of the heavy's shoulder peaking out from the smoke screen that's been the group's life saver, the elf does not hesitate, flinging the readied tanglefoot toward the aberrant marked killer, shouting a battle cry, followed by a desperate,'ALDUS! AID US!!'
Keeping his blade at the ready, Genithar prays to his ancestors, to the sanctity of life, to victory in the eternal battle, as he dashes north into the smoke, seeking to threaten those who would converge upon his friend's fallen bodies.
ooc; standard ranged touch on the heavy with tanglefoot, if i have an AP, i'll burn it. move 10' north to stand to the left of Corran

ooc; just an aside, Mellubb, G said Lorth, the shifter monk, not Corran. Not trying to dictate yer actions, just reminding ya.

Showdown: Round 12
The worried wizard frantically tosses his tanglefoot bag at the brute. The flask hits easily, but while the glue tangles him up, it does not hold him fast. [Touch attack; brute makes reflex save]
Lorth and Corran continue their shallow breathing, oblivious to what is going on. [AP stabilizes Corran] Mathew, meanwhile, slams the new command into Fetch, and the stone's warm response is all he needs. Taking the potion, he feels around for the shifter. [UMD 21 succeds w/o AP]
The homunculi advanced, as ordered. With a metallic growl, Doggie latches onto the leader's leg. The wound is savage, but, followed by an electrical jolt! The brute limps severely! [9hp physical/electrical damage; severely wounded] In a blur, the shadowy Fetch bursts from the fog. The furious brute cuts through most of its form as it does do [AoO hits; Fetch near destruction]. But the damage is not in vain, as the little shape latches onto the brute's jugular! Gargling in pain and anger, the brute falls heavily face first! [Attack hits; 8hp w/ sneak attack; brute dying]
The heavy blinks a moment, then without hesitation, bolts for the open door! Tarkanan will make sure you pay! he yells as he flees. [Withdraw]
End of Combat
Mathew and Genithar try desperately to catch their breath. They had succeeded, but it had been a dear victory. Now they must decide---chase the fleeing foe, and heal the helpless comrades?
[Intense. Such are dice. Last round, all the homunculi rolled below 10, now they all roll 19's. Actions?]
