Three large grimlocks were given orders by an unseen fourth figure, and they lumbered towards us. Each was easily a foot taller than their fellows, and they wore heavy bronze armour and carried longspears. Combat was joined with axe, sword and bow as the bronze-clad grimlocks moved to block my friends’ advance. On the other side, the fourth figure was revealed as he cast a spell surrounding himself in a swirling multi-hued glowing energy. Endo raised his wand once more and fired yet another black beam at the enemy, sapping him of strength. Niccoli ran forwards, and was badly hurt within seconds. The glowing colours around the distant foe deflected Flynne’s arrows, whilst I realised that my throat was too sore to continue singing. I picked up the wand and started to heal Niccoli as fast as I could manage. Gnashing his teeth, Igmut bellowed “KORD”, and dashed towards the foes with a mad gleam in his eyes. His mad strength made his muscles bulge, but the devastating axe-sweep went wide. 10 feet to my left a glowing hammer of force sprang into existence, and (wholly unsupported by any hand) began to try to bash Endo’s brains out of his skull. Ignoring this, the wizard cast a spell which drove one of the grimlocks into wild throes of paranoia, casting his spear aside and wailing, his eyes rolling in his head..oOo.To the left of the combat, the new “Mrs Sevestarian” ran into the fray swinging its axe. It missed, but Flynne moved to flank the same wailing paranoid enemy, stabbing the helpless foe.On the other side of the fight, Igmut was a dervish of screaming and flailing axe-blows. His huge sweeps were sidestepped by the enemies, who could see the huge blows as they were thrown.The grimlock cleric cast a spell at my enraged half-orc comrade, which had no obvious effect on him in his frenzy. Endo flung one back, which was similarly unsuccessful. Then Igmut managed to land a blow, killing the grimlock which he and Niccoli had both been striking at.Endo chose that moment to use his hat of disguise once more, suddenly resembling a Halfling. He jumped the 10 foot drop to be on the same level as the fighters, turning his ankle on the uneven floor. He swore, as the glowing hammer followed him down, and once again bashing him on the head. Another of his spells took no effect on the cleric across the cavern.Although still wounded, Niccoli dashed to join Igmut, working together to try to bring down the already spell-weakened foe. 20 feet from where they stood, Flynne and the skeleton were wearing down the still-paralysed second grimlock; the effects of Endo’s spell meaning that the armour-clad form was still clutching his ears and covering his eyes in terror at unseen enemies.</blockquote>
