OOC: What kind of action is it to get out of the mud for Allyra? Double Move? A single Move isn't enough, right?
And is there any kind of Knowledge check (please also make the roll, so you can post the result immediately, if any), that might allow us to figure out, what kind of creature this might be? The most important question there being, of course, whether it might be able to also Transmute Mud to Rock, which could be nasty...

 

[Rhun]

Turo will continue with his action, but will move 5' south to square to AI67 prior to casting his spell, so that he is out of the mud.

OCC: I don't know if this changes anything, but Keldar has the Mage Slayer feat. This means that hostile mages cannot cast defensively, and if they cast, Keldar should get an AoO. I don't have my books with me, so I don't know if there are other benefits of this feat (can't remember! ;-)

[sblock=Allyra Skill checks]
Spellcraft: 33 wow...
You identify the spell as Transmute Rock to Mud.
You identify other spells as well:
A change self spell in on the creatures
Wall of stone is behind you blocking the entrance.
A mirage arcane spell is on the corridor where you saw the garden

Knowledge (Arcane): 20
You begin to think which creatures they could be. Clearly they are not human and are disguised by change self. From the spells they cast, you identify them as outsiders, probably somehow connected to the magic from the plane of Earth.

Knowledge (The planes): 9
You do not know what those creatures are, clearly you haven’t met them before.

You have no idea what are those creatures.

Keldar - They are not mages.
Rock to mud - A creature unable to levitate, fly, or otherwise free itself from the mud sinks until hip- or chest-deep, reducing its speed to 5 feet and causing a –2 penalty on attack rolls and AC.

Allyra

Allyra simply wades out of the mud for now.


OOC: Double Move to get out of the mud and to the southern side of the room.

"We wish you no harm, we stumbled upon you by accident as we were trying to get out of these caves"
Keldar lowers his weapon, but still grips it firmly. It can still be deadly at a moment's notice.

OCC: the mage slayer feat prevents spellcasters from casting defensively. They need not be mages...the feat applies to all spellcasters. However, the spellcasters know this, and may choose not to cast instead of provoking an AoO...this is very nice feat, that Keldar has never been able to use...

 

[Thanee]

OOC: I don't think they cast spells at all... supernatural abilities or somesuch.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

ooc: For those who haven't seen my absence note.
I will be away (but with internet access) in Japan from 2 Feb - 4 Mar.

Thanee is right - not spells but SN ability

ping - sorry for not posting. I will try to upload a post soon.

Round 1 - completed

Keldar grips his chain and positions himself within range of the midget. He then speaks with authority: "We are lost and only wish to get out of these caves. We wish you no harm but will defend ourselves. Yield now, or pay the price of your foolishness!"

One of the women is quick to react, by miracle she flies over on a thin trail of foggy cloud. With just a look she turns the rocky ground beneath your feet to muddy floor. Immediately you begin to sink
[sblock=Keldar] lower you weapon human or risk dying.
She says without moving her lips, strangely, you hear it only in your head.

"We wish you no harm, we stumbled upon you by accident as we were trying to get out of these caves"
Keldar lowers his weapon, but still grips it firmly. It can still be deadly at a moment's notice.

Reacting with lightning quickness, as if he expected the attack, the gnome begins casting a spell. "Garl Glittergold, Sparkling Wit and Watchful Protector, your servant begs for your aid. Send they servant to do battle against the evil ones..."

One of the women flies on a foggy trail toward Turo and slam a power fist into his head
The little midget take a step to the back, waves his hand and another big portion of the rocky floor turns to mud, sinking back Turo and Allyra.
The last one flies to Keldar and manage to dodge one of Keldar’s blows, after getting the other blow he slams his fist on Keldar’s chest as revenge.

"Ignan"
Shouts Eliyyad from the back and sends a fireball to the other side of the room, the ball explodes and send waves of fire and heat, burning the creatures
