I'll wait for Khalid to do whatever he's going to do. If he gets off of the island, it leaves a little room for Nuveril, although all she can do is get there and put herself in the way to be attacked. Did we decide that was a DC 10 jump? Can she make an Acrobatics check to avoid AoO after the Acrobatics check for the jump?

Yes and yes noting that acrobatics to avoid AOO cuts speed in half while jumping obviously does not.

As Khalid leaps the shocking shortspear darts toward his midriff. The inquisitor twists desperately, his field of view reduced to nothing but boiling lava and black iron. With the salamander off-balance it is enough, just enough for him to avoid the strike and land next to Linah.

I'll take one of your above rolls as the concentration check :). D,8 or C,8?

The taunting words of the mephit only fuel Nuveril's anger. "We are fighting for no reason in here," she complains, "to win another creature's battle. We know nothing of which side is in the right. We are bandits, entering another tribe's camp to kill their leader in exchange for the favors of one too cowardly and weak to strike by itself. We are mercenaries, not heroes." Running from behind Grall, she leaps across to the rock island where Sajan is fighting and ducks around his back, trying to avoid the salamander's shiplike tail. Looking into Thratnias's eyes, not knowing if the fire creature can understand her words, she nonetheless tries to express with her gaze that she will bear the other no ill will if it kills her. "If this were my tribe, I would fight us, too."

Rage; Move to B 9; Acrobatics to jump 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 ; Acrobatics to avoid AoO 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Should be 45 feet of total movement, so ought to leave her room for the half-speed squares

Thratnias seems to understand what Nuveril is saying but there is no empathy in in her cold serpent eyes nor her response. Her deadly tail whips out fast and low straight between Sajan's legs and for her agility the halfling is not quite fast enough to avoid the attack which clouts her hard in the stomach, nearly winding her through her leathers. Fortunately for the halfling the salamander seems to respect her attackers enough not to follow through with a grab.

Acrobatics rolls the wrong way round unfortunately.

AOO Tail Slap 1d20 + 14 - 3 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 14 - 3 - 4 = 25 (power attack applies until next turn, cover from Sajan) hit
2d6 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 5 + 6 = 18

- Haste (Zeladiel, Linah, Khalid, Sajan)- EXPIRES AT END OF ZELADIEL'S ACTION

Notes

- Distance from lava cavern to upper cavern is 40', cavern is 60' high.
- Flamebrother is small. Others are medium.
- Note lava is bad.
- Crossing the land sections in the lava pool will require jumping (DC 5 / DC 10 for 5'/10' provided 10' running start).

Having a late one at work tonight although I'll try and update the map when I get home. Hopefully I've indicated positions clearly although need a space for Khalid (assuming D,8 unless he says otherwise where Linah gives him cover from Thratnias). Feel free to wait for the map if your unsure, its getting interesting.

D,8

Wounded and still testing his foe's defences in turn, Sajan's aggresive movements slow as he focuses on his defence. His final blow is nevertheless coated with frost. He takes a careful step back towards his allies, hoping to draw his foe onto land by yielding his high ground advantage.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (5, 6) = 18(extra 5 damage if vulnerable to cold)

AC30 with a ki point spent (fighting defensively). May not make a difference as Dan loves high rolling on Sajan but odds are she should miss :P.

Sajan's trade between defense and offense seems to pay off as monk and salamander trade a series of lightning fast blows. What the monk thinks is a solid hit is met by an invisible shield a few feet from the creature's body but the fist fighter has the presence of mind to switch his momentum and land a solid kick with the spear-wielder still slightly off-balance. AC 21 is a hit.

His next few blows are far from scoring but the last is only a feint. As the salamander moves right, the monk moves in concert landing a perfectly placed left straight. The blow itself lacks the monk's usual power but a strong blast of cold clearly pains the creature while he takes the opportunity to back up.

Linah, Zeladiel, Grall. Note Thratnias has used her AOO, whether she has combat reflexes...

Map is HERE.

Forget the 5 foot step now i've seen the map sorry.

Dan, I am actually in -F12. I 5' there last round before I took my TWO shots. Yeah for some reason I was thinking that a +5 BAB gave me two attacks :) brain fart....
Waiting for the two others to go before I state my action.

Is B/11 enough land for me to stand on?

OK. Sajan is in B,10, Grall in F,12.

I'm counting B,11 as land.

Round 7, initiative 18
ac 18
hp 18/37
effects: resist energy

The barrage of incoming blows are so furious that Linah barely has time to register where they are coming from. Standing periously close to the edge Linah stumbles forward to lean against the wall. Delving inside she searches for strength as she realeases a wave of healing energy, but the blast is weakened in her staggared state.

5ft step to C8 as a move action (i can't ready a shield in the same action, can i?)
Standard action to channel positive energy to heal 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) = 8 (exlude Thratnias and the heavily wounded salamander. or do i need to see someone to exlude them from the burst?)
Come on, Sarenrae. Can't you at least give me average rolls?

Round 7/12a

Seeing Linah in trouble, Zeladiel rushes forward (-D10) and points his bow at Thratnias.
"Actually Nuveril, we came here to talk to them and they ambushed us. Like Lesaar, Andgronakraks obviously wants Thratnias dead too."
Zeladiel shapes a quick square with his hands and a pit opens up under Thratnias.

create pit (c10,c11,d10,d11: Ref DC16)

Linah can equip her shield as part of a move. She can also 5' step, equip her shield as a move and channel. 5' foot stepping avoids AOO's (from the move not the shield equip) so she probably wants to do that.

For create pit, Thratnias is currently in the lava. I think you need a surface to place the pit on do you not (if not anything under it: the spell description uses the deck on a ship example)? I don't think you could stick it on the the top of water and pit anything swimming in it for instance. I'll have a look but barbarian flamebrother seems like an eligible target (although you probably want to avoid dumping Khalid in there as well :) )/

Plus since the pit would have lava sides Thratnias could just swim out of the side of it...

Need Zeladiel's amended action but will proceed with Linahs.

Linah's hasty channel washes over herself, Khalid, Nuveril and Sajan healing those wounded. Looking considerably better following that and Khalid's ministrations the doughty priestess draws her heavy shield.

Happy for Grall to wait for Zeladiel.

Round 7/12a

Seeing Linah in trouble, Zeladiel rushes forward (-D10) and points his bow at Thratnias.
"Actually Nuveril, we came here to talk to them and they ambushed us. Like Lesaar, Andgronakraks obviously wants Thratnias dead too."
Zeladiel makes a complex motion with his other hand.

"Thratnias!"

After a great deal of thought I'm going to apply a -2 penalty to Thratnias's save for this clever suggestion. It taps right into her dislike of Lesaar fanned into absolute hatred by the mephit's tale telling. Her plan was to kill you all horribly then go deal with him. Save to be made seperately...

Feeling his haste enchantment start to fade away, Zeladiel races along the wall until he is in range to unleash his potent enchantment on the salamander leader.

Whatever he says seems to affect Thratnias profoundly. She breaks off combat for a moment and starts to nod her head as if in acquiesence. For just a moment you think she will succumb to the elf's magic. But only for a moment. Her nod turns into a shake of disgust and she speaks for the first time in heavily accented common.

I will rip the traitor apart with my teeth but only when I am done with you! Throw down your weapons and ssubmit and I will sspare your livess and allow you to leave unmolessted. You may even watch as I deal with Lesssar! The salamander sounds as if she means it.

Thratnias Will 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 = 22

It was a great try but looks like you have to do it the hard way. Grall is up.

Grall will delay to just after Thranitas...

The flamebrother appears to be heeding little but the desire to drop the enemies in front of it. It pursues Linah doggedly, slithering up sidewise to Khalid (E,9) and unleashing a flurry of blistering attacks with spear and tail. The priestess does her level best to defend, working shield and scimitar as fast as she ever has. The salamander's attacks are relentless and she takes a number of shallow gashes before the salamander manages to land a powerful clubbing blow to the face with its tail. With one of the priestess's eyes filling with blood the salamander launches what surely would be a disabling strike, a low thrust to the knee that Linah somehow, somehow manages to get her shield around fast enough to intercept.

Spear vs Linah 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26 hit
1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Spear vs Linah 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 miss vs 21!
1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Tail Slap vs Linah 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 hit
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Thratnias appears to have either required instantaneous response to her demand for surrender or intends to continue attacking at least until you do. Hissing, she launches a blistering assault on Sajan, apparently with the hope of dropping him and then Nuveril before Grall can enter the fray or Zeladiel can work more harmful magic. In dint to Sajan's obvious defensive stance her attacks are more measured than before. The monk defends with skill and determination but still takes several painful cuts, each hit enhanced by the slamander's shocking weapon.

Shocking Shortspear vs Sajan 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 hit
1d6 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (3) = 13

Moving swiftly to take advantage, the salamander cuts right to Sajan's left, slithering up onto the island (B,11). With her left hand she flings the javelin, the resulting lightning bolt blasting into Sajan and Nuveril at point blank range. 5d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 4, 6) = 18 damage, DC 14 Reflex save to halve/evade. This is a ranged throw attack for all intents and purposes so I think that provides Sajan with an AOO.

Not yet done, Thratnias continues to attack Sajan, leaning in close to bite at him while attacking again and again with her tail. The attacks are ferociously fast yet she fails to anticipate the effect of his ki, the monk sliding gracefully aside from her bite as if he anticipated the attack and managing to block or deflect the tail without further injury.

Bite: Serpent's fang vs Sajan 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 miss
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Tail Slap vs Sajan 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 miss
2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6

Grall is up.

Map is HERE. Bit ugly sorry but should serve.

See, knew that damn spear would still hit despite the odds... Will post AOO and saving throw later have to go to doctors.

Think I originally calculated Linah's hp wrong. Revised calc does have her just down on -1hp unless I've missed something. Linah can you confirm.

Grall drops his bow and draws his blade as he moves towards the island that Thranitas occupies, he leaps towards the island and at the last minute tries to somersault around Thranitas defenses.

Move to A10, tumble the last 5' to aviod the AOO.
acrobatics fatigue 1d20 + 15 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 15 - 1 = 19
He then tries to cut the Salamander down with a tired blow...
+1 falchion atk fatigue 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 1 = 17 dam 2d4 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 - 1 = 6
Last round of fatigue, will be able to rage again next round.
Wow...I just can't get a break right now...

Its been some pretty patchy rolling from team good. Grall I have your last noted hp total as 33/80, assume thats right. Don't think Sajan's AOO can affect the resolution of Grall's action so I'll proceed.

Even without the aid of magic Grall easily clears the distance over to the island. With the combined weight of the four of you the slab of rock tips noticeably, although thankfully you seem in no current danger of over turning it. His tiredness shows in his somersault though, the tumble exposing him to an attack from the salamander's deadly tail. The strike isn't particularly co-ordinated, but in the gnoll's state it is just enough to clip him hard in the shoulder. With three enemies still to contend with the salamander again doesn't seem confident enough to go for a grab.

AOO Tail Slap vs Grall 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 hit
2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 = 11

The mephit flies forward slightly (20') but continues to watch.

Khalid and Nuveril (don't forget reflex) to close out the round. I think I can confirm that Linah is on -1hp and down. Note Thratnias is now on land so no higher ground.

Edit sorry little bit more bad news. I seem to constantly mess up Thratnias's spear damage even with herolab as I keep converting back from two-handed. Correct damage modifier is 2d6 + 6 including the +1 from her shortspear. That is 1 more point to Sajan. If I miss this again I swear I'll let you go with what I posted.

AOO-
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Reflex Save-
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Reflex success (no damage)

Launching himself into the air, Sajan evades the bolt entirely while kicking the thrower in the head with a spin kick for good measure.

Attack roll uses my brass knuckles but I like to fluff Sajan as using his hands and feet sometimes so please roll with it :).

Sajan can feel the salamander's magical shield impeding his strike but the force of the kick is just enough to penetrate, his foot connecting solidly with the salamander's head (if not with his usual force).

Edit: At least 1/6 of you are making the proper offerings to the dice gods.

Knowing that his healing spells are not as significant enough to truly help Linah, Khalid opts to go on the offensive pronouncing judgement and striking at the salamander with Tempest, hoping that it has suffered enough damage previously to be vulnerable...

Destruction Judgement = +2 damage

Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 - Potential Crit
Damage:1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10 + 1d6 ⇒ 2 x1.5 cold = 13 Total

Confirm?:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Damage:1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12

Am I reading the map wrong, or doesn't Nuveril get an AoO when Thratnias leaves C 10? Or does it count as a 5-foot-step, even though she has to climb up?

Reflex save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Also, is there anywhere Nuveril can move to that she actually gets an attack from, or did she just get lured out onto the island to take lots of damage and never get a chance to swing? I can't really see C 10 but if Thratnias was just attacking from the lava there, there can't be enough island to stand on?

I'm counting it as a five foot step which I think is consistent with my approach to date. A,11 is more or less half island, half lava. Applying the benefit of the doubt rule, its OK to stand on.

Nuveril manages to sidestep the brunt of the javelin's effect, although electricity crackles through her hair. Taking advantage of her Small size, she steps up next to Sajan on the very edge of the rock island and finally gets a chance to face one of these creatures in battle. Rage; 5-foot-step to C 10; Hammer 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 damage 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Madu 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 damage 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sajan retaliates, having come off the exchange with Thratnias and the javelin lightly and no longer stood alone. He focuses his attacks on her, infusing the last blow with the same ice that has frequently coated his hand for much of the past several seconds.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (3, 1) = 12 (Extra 2 damage from sucky cold dice)

If you look at one of the previous maps C10 is pretty lavary and as you say the salamander was swimming there. I'll treat this as a move to A,11 which doesn't end up disadvantaging you.

Khalid's blistering offense turns the flamebrother's spear out of alignment and the inquisitor sinks Tempest deep into the salamander's belly, the magical weapon piercing smoothly through the creature's hard scales. The blade comes back out with a fountain of viscous black blood. It doesn't take a detailed knowledge of salamander anatomy to realise the wound is lethal, yet the salamander continues to fight, its body feeding off the last of its rage. Slightly more cold damage would have done it unfortunately.

Moving behind Sajan and scooting around Grall, Nuveril enters the fray, using her size to her advantage and chopping low at the salamander with her hammer while Sajan and Grall engage her high. Thratnias stumbles very slightly and the halfling is quick to take advantage, landing a solid hit to the creature's side with her hammer.

Effects

- Mage Armour (Zeladiel, Sajan)
- Protection from Fire (all)

Notes

- Distance from lava cavern to upper cavern is 40', cavern is 60' high.
- Flamebrother is small. Others are medium.
- Note lava is bad.
- Crossing the land sections in the lava pool will require jumping (DC 5 / DC 10 for 5'/10' provided 10' running start).

Sajan is starting to feel a little light headed from the near constant ki expenditure. The monk launches a series of blows that the salamander picks off with her spear but that in turn positions him to land several heavy jabs to Thratnias's neck and face and yet another frost powered right hook to the torso.

In a few seconds Thratnias's wounds have gone from light to substantial shes -83 hp for those scoring at home having just taken 41 between Sajan and Nuveril). While she's clearly still capable of fighting, her confidence doesn't seem as strong as it was a moment ago.

Meanwhile, Linah lies still stabilization roll please.

Zeladiel is up.

Free speak out of turn, The cowarrrdly crrreaturrre is about to flee, good, that means its allies will see the leaderrrs weakness and ourrr ally Lesssarrr will win the day.
Sajan, we werrre supposed to destrrroy the statue corrrrect? Neverrr mind I rrrememberrr now...

Grall figures he can at least be its punching bag so the two of you can take it out...
24/80 HP
14 Rounds of Rage left, fatigue has ended.

Round 8/12a

Zeladiel takes out a scroll of haste, steps forward (-D10 -> -C10)and releases the magic from it. Suddenly, the movements of Sajan, Nuveril, Khalid, Grall and himself blur with speed.

Yes, Linah is at -1. Sorry for not confirming until now but i've had work buzzing every where i turned and an after work drink and pool on top of that. And now it's bed time.

Round 8, initiative 18
ac ?
hp -1/37
effects: resist energy, unconscious

Linah's retreat offers no respite from the blood thirsty salamander. She fights desperatly to parry and dodge the fiend's blows but the fiery creature's martial prowness is to great. The world turns black as the salamander's tail lashes Linah over the face and she tumbles unconscious to the ground.

Stabilization roll: 1d20 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 1 = 11 vs 10

Not a problem. It thankfully hasn't been needed a lot but I'd usually prefer you stick your stabilization roll in spoilers as technically the group doesn't know whether your safe or bleeding to death :) Not a big deal though.

Thratnias looks sharply at Grall but your not sure whether or not she has been tempted by his ruse.

Zeladiel recasts his speed enchantment, re-invigorating most of the group.

For a single dreadful moment Khalid thinks the dying flamebrother is going to plunge its spear into the fallen Linah but luckily (relatively) the creature turns its attentions to him instead. In a ferocious assault the salamander hits the inquisitor squarely with its tail, slamming him back against the wall and while the inquisitor desperately seeks space to move, he takes deep gashes to arm, thigh and chest. He is left bleeding heavily if not yet out of the fight.

Spear vs Khalid 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 hit
1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Spear vs Khalid 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 hit
1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Tail Slap vs Khalid 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 hit
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Thratnias does not back down. Perhaps she realises her power is broken regardless or is simply too stubborn to believe she can be beaten by the six of you. She does turns her attentions first to the heavily wounded Grall, her spear a spinning blur of motion, the shaft takes his feet from under him and the salamander hisses with delight as she thrusts the shar point into his side, releasing a jolt of electricity that leaves the mighty barbarian unconscious.

She sends the spear screaming sidewise at Sajan, slightly off-balance from his own offensive flurry. He blocks the first thrust, and then a second but the third breaks his guard, slicing a long gash down his chest. The monk still stands but its clear to all he couldn't take another similar blow. The salamander leans in to bite at the fist fighter but Sajan pushes her back before the attack gets close.

Her tail seems to waver between Sajan and Nuveril before lashing out at the halfling, the creature seemingly trying to remove as many enemies as possible before your counter attack. The halfling is not ready to be taken out of the fight so quickly though, keeping her centre of gravity basically at the ground she drives back hard with her madu, thwarting the attack.

Shocking shortspear vs Grall 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 (furiously focused power attack) hit
1d6 + 8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 9 + (4) = 27

Shocking shortspear vs Sajan 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 3 = 26 hit
1d6 + 8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 9 + (3) = 22

Bite: Serpent's fang vs Sajan 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 3 = 9 miss
1d4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 3 = 9

Tail Slap vs Nuveril 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 3 = 16 miss
2d6 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 + 3 = 14

Sorry with rolls like that looks like this is going down to the wire. Stabilisation roll for Grall. Khalid, Nuveril, Sajan and Zeladiel. Don't forget haste.

Clearly in pain but determined to finish Thratnias, Sajan attacks, fueled by his intense focus and ki and moving even faster with Zeladiel's enchantment on him.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (5, 3) = 16 (+4 if cold vulnerable)

Badly injured, Khalid spits out a bit of blood before attacking the salamander with a flurry of quick slashes from Tempest...

Destruction Judgement still active.

Attack:1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17 (haste)
Damage:1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11 + 1d6 ⇒ 1 x 1.5 cold = 12 Total

Haste Attack:1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10 (haste)
Damage:1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13 + 1d6 ⇒ 6 x 1.5 cold = 22 Total

And the dice go stone cold as expected...

Following his attacks, the inquisitor switches the focus of his Judgement to protection...

Swift Action, +2 AC

Hey, I am supposed to be sucking up all of the bad rolls this combat, stay off my turf!

I believe the history of this campaign will show that it was my turf first.

Khalid goes for a quick kill but with its insides on the verge of spilling out the salamander manages to block his attacks, keeping him pinned against the wall and unable to launch effective strikes. AC 18!

The flamebrother grins hideously, seemingly on the verge of taking two of the group down with it.....

Nuveril is up.

I believe the history of this campaign will show that it was my turf first.

I wanted to favourite this more than once, alas, I cannot. Well I have 32 damage with Thratnias' name on it if Nuveril doesn't take her down- and if she does they are going to the flamebrother.

Sajan's damage was one of two things (1) very close but not quite dropping her and (2) just dropping her. I will not reveal which it was until Nuveril and Zeladiel take their actions :)

Edit: Just realised Nuveril is going to have to trust Zeladiel to take care of the flamebrother if she doesn't do it herself. Horror!

Nuveril is raging so is actually required to save vs. haste :( (And I just realized I'm probably going to roll higher on this damned Fort Save than my attack. And then I'm going to max out the damage die.) Fort 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Feeling an arcane influence wash over her in her rage, Nuveril instinctively shrugs it off before turning her attention to the salamander. Rage; Hammer 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Madu 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Within 1 point of calling the rolls. Thirteen points of damage wasted! Stop casting spells on her!

The distraction the unexpected magic provided proves fatal, as focussing her energy on resisting the spell prevents her from following through on her attacks.

I should have said I will resolve Sajan's action after Nuveril's. Not trying to draw things out but will post after current work emergency.

Thratnias manages to sweep aside Nuveril's distracted attacks a bit of swagger returning to her movements with the halfing's inability to wound her and the success of her ally.

Round 9

She starts to spit out something mocking but doesn't get the chance to finish. Sajan hits her with a left almost too fast to follow, chaining into a flurry of punches to the face and neck. The salamander slides back and the monk stamps on her tail, holding her in place while he hits her again with a frost punch. Stepping forward, he rips the spear out of her stunned hands, reverses it and drives the iron barb almost straight through her chest. A spark of electricity escapes from the salamander's mouth as she falls to the stone dying.

Counted up the damage a few times to make sure. That was 45 hp from the last round. Zeladiel is up then flamebrother, Khalid, Nuveril.
