[sblock=Peladus]Peladus makes his way back out of the yard unmolested, with no further sign of the creature.
Across the Square, he can see Ngikhnit standing with effort. Beyond him, the others cluster in a group, in combat posture, except for Quozen who lies still on the stones. There is no sign of what they are fighting. Peladus begins shouting for assistance.
[/sblock][sblock=Midias, Ngikhnit, Pendrake]Peladus appears from wherever he has been, and begins shouting, "A little help here, please! At the northwest corner of the square! Can one of you help me, please? At the northwest corner of the square!"
OOG: truncated map, white squares indicated known locations of unseen creatures.

OOG: it belatedly occurs to me that we made an error with Ngikhnit's last turn. He was disabled on 0 HP, so limited to either a standard or a move action at half speed, but used a withdraw action which is a full-round action.
A move action would have exposed him to an AoO, which might have dropped him, and would probably have brought UT2 into view. I don't want to retcon everything from that point, so we'll just say it, for its own mysterious reasons, chose not to take the AoO.

From the SRD:
Restricted Withdraw
If you are limited to taking only a standard action each round you can withdraw as a standard action. In this case, you may move up to your speed (rather than up to double your speed).
Ngikhnit did not move more than his speed/
On hearing Peladus' cry, Ngikhnit continues in his direction, 5 squares north and 3 squares west. "I'm badly hurt! I can't do much!"

OOG: but if Ngikhnit had withdrawn as a standard action, he'd have lost 1 HP and dropped unconscious afterwards!
Quozen's body twitches. He rises up from the ground, head flopping back and arms hanging loose. His feet lift up, so that he is entirely off the ground. Like a grotesque marionette, he whirls about... then vanishes from sight.[sblock=Pendrake]Furious blinking clears Pendrake's eyes - the creature that he and Midias last struck has wrapped tentacles around Quozen's limp form and has lifted him up with rubbery strength. He has the chance to see this before the creature and its burden vanish from sight again, south, with no chance for him to strike.[/sblock]Gillin cries out in alarm, "It has him!" and makes a move toward the missing Quozen. He swings Mildred, and encounters just air. "Gods!" he says, "I could have hit the elf!"[sblock=Midias]There is a sense of movement near Pendrake, and the Northman is struck again.[/sblock][sblock=Peladus]Though such magic is still beyond him, Peladus is aware that if an invisible wizard were to pick something up, it would not disappear (unless the wizard were to then tuck the object into a pocket or the like).
Another creature ripples into existence, east of Pendrake. Where until now those that Peladus has seen have been shapeless lumps, topped with paired tentacles, this one is different - it is made up of nothing but tentacles beyond count, writhing in all directions. It whips repeatedly at Pendrake, though strikes him only once.[/sblock][sblock=Ngikhnit, Pendrake]The other creature ripples into existence beside Pendrake, striking at him repeatedly, though it hits him only once.
OOG: UT4 inflicts 3 damage on Pendrake, now on 20 HP.
[/sblock][sblock=OOG]Round 18. Bless still active for a little longer.
Important! If attacking blind into UT2's square, there is the usual 50% miss chance, but then also an equal chance of hitting the creature or Quozen (whose AC is rather low, since he is unarmored and unconscious, and who is on -4 HP). Do take that into consideration!

OOG: no problem, I can see the rolls.
Pendrake swings to his east, and hits.[sblock=Ngikhnit, Peladus, Pendrake]The blow leaves the creature quivering helplessly with its tentacles withdrawn. It seems badly hurt.
OOG: 2 damage to UT4.[/sblock][sblock=Midias]OOG: White squares, as usual, show known or last known locations of creatures.

Cannot open the map right now. Hope that the action is possible.
