[QUOTE="kinem, post: 5494210, member: 24234"] As Aram reaches the corner, he is startled to see that two large, brutish ogres block the inside of the gatehouse. The red and black monster stands beyond them. Further back, are bowmen who seem to have retreated from the near side of the gatehouse. He blasts away with the horn, catching both ogres, the strange monster, and three of the bowmen in the cone of the blast. None of them fall. The bowmen retaliate by trying to shoot Aram, but miss. The ogres attack Aram as well, with the far one moving around to bring his club into play. Both clubs miss the nimble warrior. The strange monster, its access to Aram blocked by the ogres, stays put. Girgal is carried out of the stinking cloud by Ripclaw. He throws flame at the man with the stone whirling around his head. He misses the first toss but manages to hit with the second. The armored man stays on his feet. Jex moves out of the stinking cloud. Eissun moves and produces a shadowy area of 20' radius centered on the east bridge. Father Fuller, his view blocked by the stinking cloud, curses and moves near Jex. The two armored men who you first spotted on the bridge see Eissun and are covered in the dimness but try to shoot Girgal again, but miss. Perhaps the other man, who fought Eissun earlier, has warned them of the dangers of trying to flee the shadow monster. The one with the circling stone drops his bow, draws his bastard sword, and tries to strike Eissun. His sword sails through the incorporeal elemental without making contact. Inside the tower, more foes await: another of the strange red-and-black monsters; the young spellcaster you fought on the other side of the tower, now sheathed in blue flames; two yellow-robed men; and a man in plate armor. The flame-clad spellcaster holds a wand, and he unleashes it at Eissun, wounding the elemental with five magic missiles. [sblock=ooc]"Shoot magic missiles into the darkness!" ;)[/sblock] Another small, winged creature - this one looking dry - appears next to the plate-armored man in the tower. The man casts a spell, producing a beam of light which he aims at Eissun, but the elemental's incorporeal nature protects him this time. The wet-looking small winged creature outside produces a blob of acid which he aims at Eissun. It hits, and sticks, and hurts. One of the yellow-robed man casts a spell, producing three magic missiles, which he uses to further wound Eissun. The other yellow-robed man casts his own spell, aiming a beam of light at Eissun, but this misses.
