The Banewarrens

"Where be you, drow scum? We shall take you down and use your skin for an inkwell!" Krug shouts, cleaving the air with his axe.

Titus will cast the Spikes spell on his Darkwood Masterwork club (making it +2 enhancement bonus to hit and +5 to damage for 5 hours). Titus will continue to look for an opportunity to either hit the bad guy or heal one of his companions. In fact, if someone comes out of the darkness, Titus will heal them insteado f casting spikes.

"Yo guys, head this direction if you need some healing!" Titus calls.

(heh, maybe that will draw the elf right to my club) Titus thinks.
 

Iliar shares in the group's success, hitting the drow elf with his warhammer (8 damage), although his shield bash fails to connect.

Unfortunately, things have become a little crowded in the darkness. Something bites Krug's leg (7 damage), and Verakka's sword hits armor instead of flesh, doing damage to Iliar (10 damage).

Titus successfully casts his Spikes spell. When the drow comes tumbling out of the darkness, the cleric is not surprised. However, it is Grim that becomes the target of the elf's attack (2 damage). Remarkably, the psionicist resists the stun attempt and holds his concentration long enough to summon a second astral construct.

The construct misses with its bite attack. Grim also steps back and tries to inflict pain on his attacker, to no avail.

Titus will smack the dark elf when he gets the opportunity.

"Bad elf, *whack* Guys, get out of the darkness, the elf is out here," Titus notes.
 

Verakka will move towards the sound of the Titis' voice.
If he sees the Dark Elf, he will attack, hopefully flanking so as to get a Sneak Attack.
 

Krug will try to emerge from the darkness and flank the elf, striking at him with his axe. He drags his leg behind but knows finishing the elf would be the best thing.
 

Iliar continues to swing in the darkness, unaware that his foe has fled.

Titus calls out to his friends while taking a swing at the drow, but the agile opponent sidesteps the blow.

Krug pulls his leg from the snapping jaws of the astral construct, who vanishes. He and Verakka come running in Titus' direction. They flank the drow with the help of the other astral construct, but all their attacks miss, as does Grim's second inflict pain.

The drow seems to lose interest in the fight, and sprints past the unarmed Grim. Titus gets a parting shot, but finds the target continually elusive.

Within moments the fleet figure is one hundred feet away.
 

Titus will attempt to heal whoever is in need and still in range when he acts.

"By the holy one, that elf is fast," Titus says, "It does seem like he is the cause of the strangeness, therefore we should both question him and stop him from continuing these actions."
 

Krug tries to aim at the speeding elf with his crossbow but realises it's too late. "Aye.. up to no good," he says.
 

It is clear that the drow has made good his escape. The group of friends is in relatively good shape. The most immediate problem is the magic effects which continue to plague Krug and Titus. Krug's shower of sparks threatens to blind anyone who comes near him, and the red cloud of strength-draining gas follows Titus wherever he moves.
