After seeing the creature tear into Galtar, Temujin scowls as he lashes out again with his kinetic whip. [bigger]"FEEL THE WRATH OF NATURE, FOUL BEAST!"
The crazy creature is hit by Ruckus' mind thrust and Temujin lands a hit that wounds the thing!
AAAAAHHHH! What am I doing here? This is insane!
Having no attacks that can apparently affect the COC, Zeldones readies his buckler and goes to full defense, staying next to the enemy to give the heavy hitters a chance. He maintains the bold stare as well.
Galtar is frozen in his tracks!
Temujin half-heartedly summons some more earth to blast the creature, but sees that it doesn't care enough to fight him. He hangs his head and begins to walk away.
I can't even get the bad guys to pay attention to me...
Zeldones stiffens, his muscles refusing to obey the power of his mind.
Galtar drools and bleeds.
Temujin saves the day and finishes off the undead coot demon!
He carried no substantial gear or anything of use.
Finally able to move again, Galtar lurches forward. "What the heck was that thing? I haven't had a fight like that in ages! Maybe he's got something good up in that tree?"
That was uncomfortable, to be sure. I guess we should search the area to see if anything useful might be gained.
Unfortunately, you find nothing particularly useful up in his tree or on his mangled body.
You travel further on along the hunting trail until you see an impressive elk dart through the forest, lighting small fires along the way with its flaming hooves!
Ok, and what was that, exactly?
Zeldones nods sagely as the elk goes by. "Ah, a delgeth. The result of mystical effects on natural creatures, as I recall, filled with the power of fire. If it continues, there is a very real possibility that it will ignite a cataclysmic forest fire. Perhaps we should deal with it?" The mesmerist doesn't sound terribly sure of himself at the last.
The mesmerist pauses after the fight to try to activate a gnarled-looking black wand. He gives a slight smile of satisfaction, and over the next few seconds the bite wound left by the creature heals over.
Not wanting to let the creature start an errant forest fire, you decide to deal with it!
Zeldones moves towards the elk, preparing to stare at it if it comes within range .
"We need not kill the beast. Perhaps, it is just lost." Temujin states. "Then again, do we not rely on forest fires to cleanse the woods every so often? Are we sure we should interfere with the natural order of things?"
This is true. However, if this creature is not natural to this place I'm not sure we can let it roam free and destroy everything. Tobian will hold his action, waiting to see if one of the others might have a better way of dealing with the creature.

"Only we can prevent forest fires." Galtar nods, draws his sword moving forward and readies a slash should be beast get close enough!

Thomson peers at the creature, making concerned noise. "It's a delgeth, a unique breed of ungulate native to magical forests and places where the line between the natural and the supernatural is blurred. Delgeths' soaring core body temperature manifests in the elklike creatures' flaming hooves and smoldering extremities, both of which the beasts use to defend themselves and mark their territory during mating season! We should do something!"
Thomson casts a hasting spell on the party and moves toward the fire elk.
Galtar raises his sword and Ruckus takes the initiative of catching the thing's attention by pelting it with missiles. The delgeth turns its fiery head to the party and digs its hooves into the ground! Thomson speeds up the party!
The delgeth rears up in the air and then runs through the party, leaving behind a trail of fire. Galtar swings as it runs by misses!
Tobian fires a ray of cold energy at the creature!

He then moves away from the line of fire.
Zeldones retreats from the burning trail and readies an action for when/if the delgeth gets within 30' again.
Galtar steps back from the fire and enters a strange trance!
Temujin summons up the earth around him to infuse his abilities as he causes the ground under the Delgeth to shift, causing the beast to stumble on the ground and hopefully injuring it slightly, but not killing the beast.
Tobian hits it with a blast of cold and Ruckus puts more missiles flying after the delgeth! Zeldones, Galtar, and Thomson prepare for the battle and Temujin injures the beast, leaving it sorely wounded!
The delgeth moves up to the halfling terrakineticist and throws its antlers about!
It then strikes at the ground with its flaming hooves , causing blazing sparks to appear beneath Temujin.
Temujin sighs at the beast's insistence to cause harm. "I wanted what was best for you and now you attack me. You know not what you do, Blaze. I shall set you free."
Temujin steps back and draws on the earth to halt the beast's movement and to bring this fiery show to an end. Slowly as the stone and scorched earth wrap around its hooves and hindquarters, Temujin focuses on bringing the beast down gently, much as he has done for ornery yaks in his herd.
Move Action
With a quick blast Temujin takes out the delgeth!
Temujin checks for signs of life. If the creature is still alive, but unconscious, then Temujin will create a pallet for the delgeth that he has named Blaze. With a few ropes, he will let Snack Pack drag the unconscious beast behind him.
Once he is finished, he turns to the group. "Shall we press on? The elders must be warned."
"We should press on, but I am feeling a bit weak from the encounter with that crazy old man-thing." Galtar says sheepishly.
Zeldones produces a wand with a flourish and concentrates.
Press on" Galtar shouts!
