[Round 5]

Taneth and Nalya continue plucking at the zombies, backing up a bit as two of them shamble near the edge of the entanglement. They proove easy targets, as the one hit last round falls. But the other keeps struggling. [ooc: both hit Z3, 5 dmg and 2 dmg, dead]

Ian stands ready with his electrical charge prepared.

You all watch as the ectoplasmic strands holding the leader fade into the aether from whence they came. Those standing around her automatically attack, prepared for this.

Ian's biocurrent jolts the woman anger showing on her face. [ooc: save failed, hit leader 5dmg]

Mahe and Dara lash out with their weapons, ending the arguement about whether to let Gespeth try his spell. Mahe's first blow connects solidly, but the second fails to punch through her armor. [hit leader, 13 dmg] Dara's lands her sword, but is unable to trip the woman. [touch attack hit, strength check failed, reverse trip failed.]

Donner stands ready atop Grizzle, waiting for the bear to free itself next round.

Gespeth can now act just before the leader.


Not sure what you were planning to do Ghostknight if you couldnt cast your spell. If you wait just let me know. I will post her action tomorrow as my internet connection at school is acting up and not letting me access the SRD.

Dara Dragondaughter - HP 45/45 AC 17 Atk +10|+6 (2d6+18[+2FE][+2d6SA], 19-20/x2)

If you fail, try harder...

With all her strength, Dara pushes her body against the opposing armored figure, hopefully pushing her to the ground this time, still trying to knock her out rather than kill her outright.

OOC: Trip attack -> leader (+10 touch attack (+2 bonus for flanking included), no AoO, Str check with +11, follow-up attack as above, if successful, but dealing non-lethal damage (-4 to attack, resulting in +6 attack, leader then has -4 AC for being prone, +2 damage against human, no sneak attack damage)). Rage (6th round). Power Attack 4.
 

Taneth Aislan (hp 14/14, AC 15, atk +2 m (1d8, 19-20/x2) or +6 r (1d6, x3)

Taneth tries to enter melee with the untangled zombie so that Sadet can crush it with it's hooves. "You're not going anywhere!"

"Concentrate your attacks on the leader," he says to the others, "I'll deal with the bear."

Ian turns his attention from the leader, once again cocooning the bear.

Gespeth can now act just before the leader.

Gespath moves back out of combat, if feasible to do so without attracting attention (since he is still invisible). He will let the more combat oriented have their way and cast the charm when the leader is subdued and not under attack.
 

[Round 5, Con't]

The woman hisses at you as you try to barrel into her. Thrusting her hands upwards, she tries to cast a spell while in melee. She actually manages to cast despite the pain of the wounds bleeding from her side and by weaving and dodging casts defensively. Her left hand begins to drip a virulent green as the skin on it begins to bubble and hiss. You also notice that she has six fingers on that nasty looking hand as it comes into contact with Dara's flesh. While sticky and quite disgusting, the green goop does not seem to affect Dara at all. [cast
contagion[/spolier], passed concentration check vs. dmg, passed concentration check vs. defensive casting, hit Dara with touch attack. Dara saved...]
[Round 6]

Taneth brings Sadet forward, but the horse will not go near the grasping vines. With it's side still looking sickly after the last battle, the horse must be a bit hesitant to get anywhere near those undead. Nocking another bolt, Taneth fires at one of the zombies as does Nalya. Both hit the same one again, which falters and falls into the mass of weeds, dead. [hit Z2, dmg 8 and 6]

Ian drops his concentration on biocurrent to weave another coccoon for the bear, keeping it out for a little longer. [ectoplasmic coccoon on Bear #2 as it comes free. save failed... again... 4 rounds]

Mahe and Dara concentrate their attacks again. Mahe strikes hard again with the lower end of his spikey staff. [hit Leader, 12 dmg]. Dara shoves her shoulder into the woman knocking her flat on the ground in front of the obelisk. Bringing her sword round careful not to decapitate the prone woman, Dara connects solidly. [trip successful, almost didnt make the strength check (24 vs. 22), subdual attack successful, 25 nonlethal damage.]

The woman in the black armor collapses on the ground, a huge purple bruise forming quickly where Dara's sword connected. She is now unconscious.

[Rounds 7,8,9,10]

The zombies are eventually dispatched by the combined efforts of Nalya and Taneth's bow work. They never actually manage to leave the circle of weeds.

When the bear comes out of it's second coccoon the combined forces are easily able to dispatch it. The thing crumples to the ground after a savage beating, spraying ooze and slime everywhere.


Did I even hit anyone?

in any case everything is dead except:
Cultist #2 - unconscious (stabilized)
Leader - unconscious

Looking at the unconsciuos leader, Gespath tends to his wounds so that she will find herself in better condition on waking, and then casts charm person while she is still unconscious but looks like she is waking.

ooc - spell selection changed for after the next rest period - see updated selection RG
 

Dara Dragondaughter

Abomination,” Dara says, while thrusting her swordpoint down towards the unconscious figure. It looks like she is going to kill her, but the blade barely misses the neck of the snake-woman. She drives it almost two feet deep into the earth. “See? Not dead.”

“She tried to poison me, I felt her bite, when her hand touched my skin. But I think I'm ok.”

Carefully and visibly exhausted from the fighting, Dara retrieves her sword and moves over to one of the cultists and rips some of his clothing off. Sitting down on a nearby stone, she drips some water on the blade of her sword and starts cleaning it from the stain.

“Tie her up well, she is very strong.”
