World of Low'verok

Shar sighs and looks at the largest creature with disgust. Holding Starlight in a ready position, she follows Brigitte, but attempting to circle to the other side of it to take advantage of its distraction.

{OOC: Move forward, getting into flanking position with Brigitte if possible for sneak attack.}

OOC: Enthrall is an area spell that effects all who can hear it. that includes your allies. Might want to rethink that Ashy.

OOC: Not at all! That's what Pottofer would do - sorry, just playin' tha character! :)
 

Pottofer begins his exhortation for peace, his voice rising above the battle. Brigitte ignores him for now and rushes in to skewer the warped owlbear. The owlbear screeches at her and uses its superior reach to slash at her, putting a bloody rent in her thigh. Brigitte grits her teeth and slashes hard, Fiery Soul driving into the creature's side and leaving a shallow gash. Shar dashes in and begins to move around behind the owlbear, mindful of its claws.

Abdul and the Bedine riders launch another volley of arrows into the creatures, most of them striking. The smaller creatures, the group notes with some concern, seem to bleed a thick, clear fluid instead of normal blood. Drax roars in, greataxe raised high. With a punishing arc, the greataxe cleaves one of the smaller ones in twain. Curiously it explodes into four clear stones, instead of leaving a body like any natural creature.

Elexia sends a burst of sound in the form of an angry child's scream to blast at the other small creature, while Virgil chants for the others' courage and strength. Gaoi waists no time in blasting the other small creature with two powerful darts of light. The owlbear bears down upon Brigitte, ripping terribly at her and catching her up in his viscious claws. Shar can clearly see the blood splashing on the ground around the owlbear. Out of the corner of her eye she see the other small creature seeming to double in mass. In a convulsive heave, it splits into two identically-sized creatures, each indistinguishable from the first.

OOC:
Pottofer - 20
Brigitte - 19
Shar - 18
Abdul and Bedine riders - 17
Drax - 16
Elexia - 15
Virgil - 11
Gaoi - 5
Monstrosities - 3

Pottofer starts his casting of enthrall, which is a full round action. Brigitte moves to the owlbear, it gets an AoO for being Large, hits with a 17, and does 11 points of damage to Brigitte. Brigitte hits the owlbear with Fiery Soul with a 23 and does 11 points of damage Shar moves around to flanking. Abdul and the Bedine riders pepper them with arrows. Drax grabs his weapons and moves up to attack, and hits one of the little ones with his greataxe with a 22 for 12 points of damage. It dies. Elexia does a sound burst on the other small one (to avoid hitting Shar and Brigitte), doing 3 points of damage. Virgil inspires courage. Gaoi does 10 points of damage to the other small one. The owlbear hits Brigitte with a 19 and a 28, and misses on a 10, doing a total of 24 points of damage. It grapples Brigitte with a 31, to her 21. Brigitte is now grappled. The other small one splits into two equal-sized creature.
 

Gaoi Gustwig : Air Genasi Wizard 3

Upon seeing the smaller one split into two identical creatures, the genasi gasps. He reaches into his pack and pulls out the wand of acid. He then points it at one of the smaller ones and fires off a charge at it.
 

Elexia

Seing her friend almost torn in two; Elexia summons her courage and spurs Charity into a charge, using the straight end of her crook as a lance. "Hold on Bridget! I'm coming!"
 

As soon as he is able, Pottofer races into combat with the warped owlbear, striking out it with th' Holyghost...

OOC: as soon as the enthrall spell completes, attack the owlbear (+1 Melee, Heavy aspergillum, 1d8, crit x2, 10 ft. range, 12 lb., one-handed, bludgeoning); if he hits, Pottofer will discharge one holy water load...
 

“Ngh!” The pain in her thigh is quickly forgotten as the owlbear-creature opens up two fresh wounds. Her vision takes on a red tint, senses dulled by the pain of her wounds, though she is still aware of the creature’s putrid smell as it grapples her. She struggled against it, using all her strength to try and break free.

(OOC: Trying to break the grapple, with a +3 Str check)
 

Draxiksus male Lizardfolk Ranger lvl2

Seeing the damage done to his new friend, Drax moves in on the corrupted Owlbear as well in a rush to draw the attention of the great creature away. With a war-cry of his home tribe, he stabs and slashes at the creature, hoping the acid of his Axe will help keep wounds from closing.

[OOC: GreatAxe (+3 2-weapon fighting], 1d12+3 damage, Threat 20/x3)
ShortSpear (+2 2-weapon fighting], 1d6+1 damage, Threat 20/x2}]
 

The owlbear seems to ignore Pottofer's words, and the small creatures don't even react. However, Shar, Virgil, and Drax all find them utterly fascinating, and ponder them for a while, aware of combat, but compelled to think instead of fight. Brigitte struggles as hard as she can to get away from the owlbear's deadly embrace, but it only cluches her tighter to its chest. Abdul and the Bedine riders fire more arrows, one grazing a smaller creature, while another hits the owlbear high in the chest.

Elexia charges the owlbear, her crook striking the creature hard in the side, causing it to stagger a little. Because its arms are full of Brigitte, it doesn't bother to snap at the priestess or her mount. Gaoi fires a green arrow at one of the smaller creatures, but it sails right over its malformed "head." The owlbear takes advantage of the distractions so thoughtfully provided by its enemies to rise into the air, Brigitte still clutched in its arms. It begins to float off back southward with her, back toward the Forbidden Lands. The two smaller creatures close slightly with Drax and Shar, breathing a noxious mist at them. Both rouse themselves from their contemplation to dodge clear of the toxic vapors.

Pottofer - 20
Brigitte - 19
Shar - 18
Abdul and Bedine riders - 17
Drax - 16
Elexia - 15
Virgil - 11
Gaoi - 5
Monstrosities - 3

Owlbear monster doesn't understand Pottofer and thusly in unaffected by the language-dependant spell. Smaller creatures are unaffected. Shar, Virgil, and Drax all fail their saves and are enthralled. Pottofer rolls a natural one on his attack. Brigitte fails her grapple check with a 7 (you use your BAB as well as your Str, so Brigitte has a grapple check of +5, but I still rolled a 2, sorry). Shar muses over Pottofer's words. Abdul and the Bedine riders hit the owlbear and one of the little ones. Drax muses. Elexia manages to hit an 18, even with the minuses for an unintended use of the weapon, and does 6 points of damage. Virgil muses. Gaoi misses his touch attack with an 8. Owlbear takes to the sky. The two little ones advance on Drax and Shar, stopping ten feet away and breathing on them. Both dodge and are fine.
 

Not wanting to end up as an owlbear snack, Brigitte redoubled her efforts to free herself. Occasionally, she punctuated her efforts with colorfu curses regarding the owlbear's mother and her mating habits.
