Then went because the Baghest have some magic items gleaned from a fallen party member, because the Baghest are evil and because the party made 7th level and thinks they are tough.Game before this they attacked the Baghest guard posts and killed/drove off 15 or so in scattered small fights. We stopped that game just as they approached the big room where Sarras was waiting.Fight was:5 characters of 7th level (Bard, Fighter, Cleric, Cleric, Druid/Rogue) plus an NPC fighter of 6th level.VS13 'normal' BaghestSarras and Menarr (Greater Baghest)Phil-something (7th level Wizard)While the party had fought the Baghest several times there were some things they didn't know.1. The mass-bulls strength ability2. The mass-enlarge ability3. The fact that Menarr even existed (he started the fight invisible along with 4 small Baghests)The fight started off well for the party. The fighter can crank his AC up to 30 (+2 full plate, +2 shield, Combat Exp). He can also Enlarge AND has Whirlwind. The Baghest held back and he entered the room, enlarged and went to town. Then one of the Clerics dropped a Holy Smite into the room. Since the Baghest are Evil Outsiders a good portion of them took 7d6 damage. Ouch.That along with the fighter taking swings at just about everything in the room dropped several of the small Baghest early and it looked like it was going to be a route.Then Sarras called in the Mage (whom the party had left crying in the dark a while back after they killed all the Shadows) and he cast Haste on Sarras and the smalls near her. She does a mass bulls str. Mennar pops in (surprise!) and he does mass bulls str on his group.Now the party has a fight on their hands...Sarras starts to howl and does so for a full round....At end she and all the rest of the pack start to grow... and grow... all the 'smalls' become large and she and Mennar become Huge. And now the party talks about running.Before they can get everyone to the door Sarras shreds the druid/rogue down to -9 with one bite and then does a bite/claw/claw (2 bites because of Haste) on the NPC fighter for 30 some points of damage.The NPC fighter is trapped in the room. He can either move and take 3 or so AoO's or take a 5 foot step and face the brunt next round. He tries to do a fighting withdraw and moves the 5'. Sarras drops him next round.Everyone else makes it to the hallway. The Baghest were more interested in driving the PC's off then killing them all so they just shadowed the party out of their area.While the Baghest were able to fight to a draw I figure they are not interested in a round 2. I'm thinking they turn into Goblins and move enmass to B.rv</blockquote>
