Arrgha'n (Half-Daelkyr Kin-Hunter)
Arrgha'n steps in with Maavnod to setup a flank and strikes, trying to get its attention so the 4 armed compressing machine can create dancer-juice.
[OOC: +5/+7 (flank) Long Sword (1d8+2, 19-20/×2) (d6 SA) (+2 vs Aberr.) ]

Valerian's long, slim fingers reach into the air in a supplicant gesture as he chants the words to a spell. [sblock=Spellcasting in Giant]"O Angrboda, frostbitten and windswept! Grant but a sliver of your power to my touch!"[/sblock]Upon completion, his hands are limned in dancing blue-white flames.

Kurst, Human Wlk/Art 2/1
"By the foundry, what are these things?" Kurst exclaims, before pointing launching a purple-black ray of eldritch power at one of the aberrations.

The dancing figures leap and twirl, two of them scoring perfect, identical cuts on Oliver's upper arms, the blood fanning out in the dust, before leaping away a short distance, still dancing. The third hurls himself inward, almost suicidally toward Maavnod, passing Arrgha'n in the process and opening himself up to a slash from the kin-hunter.
Arrgha'n slashes his sword and misses the creature by a large margin. The dancing creature lunges into Maavnod, but misses him by a whisker.
Valerian's hands are wreathed with deadly cold as he quickly brings to mind what he might know of such strange beings.
Kurst lets the violent purple and red energies gather around his hands, building into a climax of power before hurling them at one of the dancers... and it sails over their heads to explode harmlessly in the air, leaving behind a strange scent of fear and ozone.
Oliver gracefully flows after the two that leapt from him, his own sword flicking up gracefully to deliver idential wounds to the two dancers. It's almost a mirror image of the cuts they gave to him.
Maavnod reaches out to grasp the jittering little wretch and nearly misses it as it tries to writhe free, but its sticky hands close on its smooth flesh and stick like glue. In a moment the dancer has all four limbs pinoned by all four of Maavnod's hands.
Irthos moves up slightly to stab into one of the dancers that Oliver is fighting, but nearly stumbles on a protruding stone and just barely prevents himself from tripping to land in the dust.
Yatrax's hands darken with shadow as she moves up to try to lash out with her darkness at one of Oliver's foes, but the arrow of dusk goes wide and disapates into the air.
[sblock=OOC]Deadly Dancers - 19 (higher Dex)

OOC: Two hit Oliver before jumping away, doing 7 points of damage apiece. Arrgha'n takes his AoO and would have missed with a 15, but if you'd used an action point, you would have hit a 21, doing 9 points of damage. If you'd rather have not used the action point, just say so. Valerian casts his spell and does some thinking. Kurst misses with his eldritch blast with a 12. Oliver does his dance of death on the two who leaped away, hitting one with an 18 and the other with a 22, doing 6 points of damage to each. Maavnod's touch attack to initiate the grapple is only a 12, which fails, but if he cares to use an action point, he could make it a 16, which would hit. In grappling, Maavnod would have gotten a 39 to the dancer's 19. Irthos rolls a 1 on his attack with the spear, but makes his Dex check, so keeps ahold of his weapon. Yatrax gets an 8 with her touch attack and misses with her fundemental.[/sblock]

These creatures are deadly dancers. Strange and alien creatures with no precise known origin, they feed by bathing their arm and leg blades in blood at least once a week. Sexless, they reproduce by breaking off one of their blades in the corpse of a human-sized creature, an act frought with peril, as a dancer can bleed to death from this action. Thusly they don't do it unless they're certain they're going to die. The broken-off blade grows into a new deadly dancer in about a week or so. The dancers leave the strange seals you've seen everywhere in their territory. Though they do not speak, they can learn to understand other languages. They can be enslaved by the unscrupulous by holding much of the troupe hostage and forcing the remainder to do their bidding or see their troupe die.

Oliver, Human Binder AC 25
Oliver, never doubting the great abilities that Paimon provides him continues the deadly blade dance. Thrusting and parrying he is a grace personified.
OOC: I'll use combat expertise(AC 25) and either Whirlwind attack(+6, 1d6 damage if more than one in reach) or just a normal attack, +6, 1d6. AC 25

Kurst, Human Wlk/Art 2/1
Taking a little extra time to be sure of his aim, Kurst launches another bolt of eldritch fear at one of the dancers, a slight look of pain crossing his face at using his dark power again so soon.

Once more into the breach.

Arrgha'n (Half-Daelkyr Kin-Hunter)
Arrgha'n curses his misjudging these creatures' speed as he misses, but then smiles as he sees Maavnod latch on to the slippery creature.
The hunter moves in to a flanking position with Maavnod and then attacks the hopelessly grappled creature, while trying not to hit the massive and grappley goliath.
[OOC: No AP for me. Thanks for the opportunity.
