[QUOTE="kinem, post: 5502733, member: 24234"] ooc: Jex can't see around the corner, but he could be assuming that more enemies might be there. The nearby ogre, already hurting, falls unconscious from Jex's cold fire, thumping into the bridge like a huge sack of potatoes. Father Fuller moves closer, taking care while walking near the edge of the waterfall not to step over it, and hurls his invisible fire at the remaining ogre, bringing that one down too. ooc: The way I am running water walking is that you are not dragged by the current. The small earth elemental swings at the flail-wielding man but misses him. Three of the bowmen who came down from the tower try to shoot Aram but miss. The other two of these archers shoot at the earth elemental; one arrow hits, and the summoned creature dissipates. The flail-wielder puts his flail away and man picks up his bow. The plate-armored archers shoot at Girgal, including the man with the stone whirling around his head. One of his arrows hits, as does one from one of the other men. The stinking cloud finally dissipates. Its creator, the small wet winged creature, flys over Girgal and uses his acidic breath on the halfling and his mount. Girgal avoids the worst of it, but Ripclaw does not; the acid gets in the dinosaur's face and hampers him. (ooc: Ripclaw hp 53/57; -4 penalty to AC and a -2 penalty on attack rolls for 3 rounds) The small dry winged creature's flight carries it past Girgal but it breathes another blast of salty grit as it passes. Girgal and Ripclaw avoid the worst of it. However, the wand-wielding wizard, surrounded by blue flames, does not let up his attack on the outnumbered halfling. He unleashes another burst of five magic darts. Girgal feels stabs of pain as he loses consciousness. ooc: Girgal hp -4/66. I will assume that Ripclaw can keep his master from slipping off into the moat, but it is a standard action for the dinosaur. The yellow-robed men move forward, leaving the archers to deal with the dinosaur. The one who cast the spiritual weapon sees Aram and redirects the ghostly flail to attack the desert warrior, but it misses. The other one casts a spell that produces a blob of grease which nearly envelops Aram's scimitar, but Aram grabs his weapon away from it in time to avoid that. The plate-armored spell caster, not as quick as the others in his heavy armor, moves forward. Meanwhile, the red-and-black monster moves up to attack Aram in place of the ogres. This is the first time he has really had a close look at the creature.
