Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 1633456" data-attributes="member: 4441">*Zass'sk's speed brings him into Deepwell in mere minutes.  The duegar and svirfneblin look up in some alarm; running is generally never good.*"What passes?" one of the duegar men demands.~~~*With the flood of darkenbeasts on the scene, Alyshia lets loose with a massive fireball in their midst.  About a third of them seem entirely uneffected by the magic, another third seem to roll and dive to bypass the worse of it, and the remaining third, the ones in the front, take it full in the chest.  The darkenbeasts scream in anger at this assault and start to dive toward the lake.**Eleth plucks up a pair of arrows and fires twice, further wounding one of the darkenbeasts.  Grim also fires his crossbow, targeting the lead creature, hitting it at the joint of the wing and the body.**With a scream the darkenbeasts dive toward the ground, both near the shore and close to where the fireball was launched from.  Gortag smiles invisibly and slices one of the darkenbeasts in half with his axe, sending the creature screaming to the ground in two pieces.  The skum, hidden in Grim's illusion, use their spears and maces to skewer and crush any darkenbeast that dives too close.  Zykovian, seeing the darkenbeasts landing near Alyshia with their backs presented so temptingly, takes a swipe at one of their burnt bodies.  His claw slashes in deeply, bringing a spurt of blood and a surprised yelp from the darkenbeast.  To his left Zykovian can see the forms of guards, draconic ogres and trolls, pounding toward the aboleth's cavern.  They'll be here in just moments.*[OOC - Alyshia's SR failed on some, and for the rest some made their saves and some didn't.  Those that failed their saves took 16 points of fire damage, and those that made their saves take 8.  Eleth hits a 20 and a 28 for a total of 16 point of damage to one.  Grim hits an 18 for 4 points of damage (too far away for sneak attack damage).  Gortag his a wounded one with a 26 for 26 points of damage, dropping it.  Zykovian hits a 21 for 17 points of damage.  There are 18 darkenbeasts near Grim/Gortag/the scum/and anyone else near the shore.  There are 6 darkenbeasts near the entrace to the cavern near Alyshia and Zykovian.  Zykovian is aware of the draconic guards, they'll be there next round, and he sees at least fifteen of them.]</blockquote>
