The Theocracy

[Autumn]

The idea of breaking his newly-generated cover doesn't really appeal to him, but Arast realizes that he's going to have to take measures to stop this nonsense. He makes for the dancing sisters, and adroitly interposes himself between them, grabbing Janelle's arms and trying to hold her still. "Stop that," he orders with a glare, his voice clipped and exasperated as his patience is worn ever thinner.

In the sky above, the pseudonatural griffon launches itself up once more and closes on the allip, slashing out at its insubstantial form with claws and beak still bloodied from its last kill.

[sblock=OOC]Arast shakes Janelle free of the Fascination.

Griffon Charges and Full Attacks with Pounce again. The Pseudonatural template gives it DR 5/Magic, so its natural weapons count as magic and can effect incorporeal enemies with a 50% miss chance.

Bite 1d20+15 = 31
Miss Chance 1d100 = 18 *miss*

Claw #1 1d20+12 = 17
Miss Chance 1d100 = 65 *possible hit* Damage = 1d4+3 = 4

Claw #2 1d20+12 = 18
Miss Chance 1d100 = 47 *miss*

Rake #1 1d20+12 = 29
Miss Chance 1d100 = 51 *possible hit* Damage = 1d6+3 = 9

Rake #2 1d20+12 = 20
Miss Chance 1d100 = 74 *possible hit* Damage = 1d6+3 = 5[/sblock]

Latham appears out of nowhere in an instant, staring up at the carnage the oddly mishapen griffon is reaping on the allip. He just stares, not really knowing what he's looking for, just knowing that looking is necessary.

Dehg, in contrast, continues his silent weeping. The pungent ichor seeping from his eyes has an unbearable stench as his muttering about puppies and wanting them repeats time and time again.

Oh. Sorry ethanandrew. By going nuts I meant the wisdom loss, not hypnosis. Latham's fine, not hypnotized.

Insight: The cleric has a searing light and a protection from evil (now works on anything dominator percieves as evil). Use his spells as you see fit.

The griffon only hits with the rakes. The allip screeches in pain, but keeps babbling about milk.

Caul will have the cleric cast Searing Light on the Allip.

Latham snaps out of his reverie and laughs quite awkwardly and loudly, I guess I should not have done that. He notes the wimpering Dehg and moves over to him, quickly shaking him and snapping him out of his puppy delusions.

"Dehg, when we get out of here, I'll get you a puppy. A tiny little puppy for you to play with."

 

[Autumn]

Arast simply turns around to repeat the performance, shaking Ilshana out of her stupor in turn.

The pseudonatural continues its attack, encouraged by the allip's shrieks.

[sblock=OOC]Griffon Full Attack:

Bite 1d20+13 = 32
Miss Chance 1d100 = 52 *hit* Damage = 11

Claw #1 1d20+10 = 24
Miss Chance 1d100 = 69 *hit* Damage = 1d4+3 = 5

Claw #2 1d20+10 = 24
Miss Chance 1d100 = 80 *hit* Damage = 1d+3 = 5 (... no... really... )

Rake #1 1d20+10 = 12
Miss Chance 1d100 = 15 *miss*

Rake #2 1d20+10 = 17 *miss*[/sblock]

 

[WarlockLord]

The allip screeches, and, realizing that it can be hurt, decides to seek easier targets somewhere else. It moves 120 feet as fast as it can to escape the griffon, which huits it again. The searing light misses, but everyone ceases the milk obsession.

The camp is nearly done for. The army is slowly pressing the partisans, your allies, back, back - they have turned and run, their will broken. This doesn't look like a fun tourism spot...

 

[Mista Collins]

"What a horrible thing!" With his bow still out and an arrow loosely knocked on the string, he looks to those renegades around him. "We better be moving elsewhere, we won't be able to hold. Remember, we are the prey right now in this battle."

"Follow me!" Hunter takes off away from the approaching army, trying to find solace and safety in the environment around them.

 

[Insight]

Caul and Nathira, wanting no part of facing an overwhelming army, follow the hunter into the wilderness and sanctuary from the onslaught.

EDIT: Caul mentally beckons the dominated cleric to follow. OOC: Thanks, fenixdown!

 

[ethandrew]

Latham grabs Dehg by the wrist and drags him along like a mother and a misbehaving child. Addressing the rest, "I'm ready to follow, so is Dehg. I can drop a poisonous cloud on our position once we start to leave, just to prevent those who might try to follow us. In fact, I just might do that right now. Let us leave quickly or prepare to hold your breath!"

[sblock=Actions]Latham will wait to when everyone starts to follow the Hunter and he will cast Cloudkill, pushing having it waft toward them at 10' round.[/sblock]
