OOC: It's cold on the East Coast, and my four hour motorcycle ride turned into a 6 hour motorcycle ride since I had to make some stops to thaw. I'll try to do the update after work tomorrow. Oh, and welcome back Fenris!

Mellisande's vertigo effect goes off, encompassing the area in between the party and their opponents. Nerin casts Bull's Strength upon himself, while Arkos shifts to his melphling form and casts a spell creating a flow of tentacles erupting forth from upon himself. A fireball is launched by Lealani, striking six of the yuan-tis (Y3, Y4, Y5, Y9, Y10, Y11), two of them (Y3 and Y4) directly.

A summoned swarm from Sarpot causes the closest of the Yuan-Ti to shriek as it is covered by insects bursting forth from the tree it was standing near. It takes dozens of painful bites. The Yuan-Ti struggles to maintain his balance as his knees grow weak from the poisonous critters. He takes a step forward, but stumbles and falls ill due to Mellisande's vertigo effect, and takes a further bit of biting damage from the swarming insects that cover him.

The other Yuan-Ti's surge forward, four (Y1, Y5, Y6, Y7) entering into the vertigo field created by Mellisande. The two other sentries (YS1 and YS2) are still trying to figure out what's going on, though one Yuan-Ti (Y4) is screaming at them and making hand gestures in order to bring them into the fray.

OOC: I took liberties with the Y2 yuan-ti since he was being hit by both Mellisande and Sarpot, and rolled some extra penalized saves for him to stumble around and possibly fall down. It might have been a fiat in the party's favor, but I thought it would be more realistic considering the kind of shock inflicted. The four yuan-ti's who entered the vertigo field do not have to make a save against nausea until the start of their next movement round according to the spell description, so I'll settle that next round.

I think I have Arkos' and Sarpot's actions already, so I just need actions for Mellisande, Lealani and Nerin. A couple of Yuan-Ti may be able to close into melee at the end of next round.

Init:
Mellisande: 16
Nerin: 15
Lealani: 14
Arkos: 10
Sarpot: 10
Yuan-Ti: 9

Arkos transforms back into his predator form, his visage even more frightening accompanied by his striking tentacles. Sarpot summons another swarm of insects from the tree next to one of the yuan-ti's, causing the swarm to attack with an assortment of bites and helping to hinder the attack from the south. The swarm isn't able to inflict damage at first (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3910684/), but settles around the screaming yuan-ti and places several painful bites (Y3). To make matters worse for it, Nerin moves just outside of the swarm, sword ready.

Lealani throws another bead, causing an explosion that encompasses five of the Yuan-Ti (Y2, Y3, Y5, Y9, Y10). Lealani's fireball dissipates Sarpot's southern swarm, but the combination of the two attacks also kills the yuan-ti threatening the party's right flank (Y3 dead). The fireball also kills a second yuan-ti who took the brunt of both fireballs (Y2), though the others are simply scorched badly.

OOC: I'll remove Y2, Y3 and the southern swarm in my next post tomorrow. [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] has to make Mellisande's move and then I'll finish up the round with the yuan-tis.

OOC: Ok, I haven't seen Shayuri, so I'm NPCing Mellisande.

Seeing that she may soon be surrounded, Mellisande goes defensive, casting a mirror image upon herself.

The yuan-ti surge forward. Two are able to avoid the worst effects of the gas (Y1, Y6), though others find themselves gasping and unable to fight (Y5, Y7). http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3912598/ These two yuan-ti do rush forward, but not into combat. Another yuan-ti rushes forward to strike at Nerin, while a second reaches Arkos. Both strike and draw blood with their spears (-5 hps to Arkos, -3 hps to Nerin). http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3912620/

Realizing that an attack is indeed underway, the yuan-ti that were guarding the entranceway rush forward, then sound a long note of alarm from horns they had worn along their sides. The horns blare echoes through the jungle over the sounds of your battle.

OOC: Arkos' tentacles get an attack of opportunity because of Y1 coming into his long reach. Init for next round:

Mellisande: 16
Nerin: 15
Lealani: 14
Arkos: 10
Sarpot: 10
Yuan-Ti: 9

It only took a quick glance around the battlefield for Lealani to know what to do. She threw one more bead into the fray near Arkos. Then she pulled out a wand in one hand and her dagger in the other and readied herself against the closing lizardman.

OOC: I don't know which rules we are using for counting squares (referring to that weird diagonal squares count as 15ft rule?). Obviously I want to get the enemies and not roast Arkos. M2 might be too close, so maybe N2? Maybe N3 would be better. Sorry I am not good at figuring but you get the idea! She pulls out a wand of magic missiles.

OOC: I'm counting the squares as 5 foot squares, so the corners will be just over 5 feet and fine for swinging, but would be like 10 feet if you were trying to move into it.
