Kappi curses out loud. He thought his tanglefoot bags were going to save the day. Desna you treacherous beotch
Will save
Kappi makes his save, and Ali readies a sure-to-be successful attack! Davosh eyes him (but not EYES him) warily...
Edward confirms that the perytons are, in fact, evil. (Also ill-tempered, plus they wipe their mouths on their sleeves.) He considers casting bless weapon but opts not to, as the creatures don't have DR/good, they have DR/magic. He resolves to get a magical bow at his first opportunity...

This transmutation makes a weapon strike true against evil foes. The weapon is treated as having a +1 enhancement bonus for the purpose of bypassing the DR of evil creatures or striking evil incorporeal creatures (though the spell doesn’t grant an actual enhancement bonus). The weapon also becomes good-aligned, which means it can bypass the DR of certain creatures. (This effect overrides and suppresses any other alignment the weapon might have.) Individual arrows or bolts can be transmuted, but affected projectile weapons (such as bows) don’t confer the benefit to the projectiles they shoot.
If spoiler is still a no, Edward will stow his bow and draw his magic rapier, he then readies to attack the first one that comes into range.
Kappi only has a single magic weapon for hurting these buggers, and he isn't willing to throw it. Though a small part of his brain thinks about how amazingly cool it would be to hurl his short sword and totally transfix one of them!
In a split second he decides.
He pulls a precious alchemical fire from his belt pouch and readies to throw it when one of the creatures comes into range.

Edward casts a spell!
Kappi readies a sure-to-be-successful throw!
Vojtek once again readies an attack in the event the creatures swoop down again.

The Speaker-to-Ancients continues his stern glare, further hampering the peryton's ability to do harm. (DC 18 to reduce duration, but I'll cackle every round.)
As the perytons swoop in again, readied actions manage to reduce Grey to a flaming heap of burnt unpleasant flesh!
Black attacks Kappi again (provokes from Vojtek and Kappi, if Kappi has a weapon out)!
Oh, forgot the saving throw. Not that it'll matter with Cackle. ;-)
Kappi gives a small whoop of triumph as he Molotov's the grey peryton.
This quickly turns to a small curse as he realized he was foolish to take his eyes off Black for too long. The other peryton gave him a nasty wound but the lad managed to get his point on target and thrust. He hoped to give Black something to remember him by.

Seeing how badly injured this last creature is, Ali goes for a minor magic: Acid Splash!!
Ali's plink from her acid splash is enough!

Happy they killed the strange flying monsters, Kappi quickly goes to scout out the little hut/house. Hopefully a good place to regroup after the fight. Kap could use a little healing for one.

Davosh looks about, both with his normal eye and his Big Eye
Kappi searches the hovel and finds it devoid of life. Two filthy, haphazard piles of sticks, fur, and bones lie on opposite sides of the building, indicating that the perytons were not entirely fond of one another.
Davosh detects no magic in the shack.
After receiving their healing and checking out the gross hovel, the party is ready to move on.
Kap leads on into the uncharted map lands...
Stealth
Perception
An enormous dead beech tree towers over this clearing, standing apart from the evergreen trees about it. Dead, dry leaves lift from piles around the tree to rustle and dance amid whorls of fine powdery snow.
Standing in the tree some fifteen feet above the ground is another dawn piper, her eyes fixed firmly on Kappi's every move. Go now, she says, her voice at once melodic and discordant. This forest and the Dancing Hut are ours, and I will not yield, especially to the likes of mortals like you.

Kappi reports back to the group. He closes his eyes and tilts his head forward slightly as he pinches the skin between his eyes. He sighs loudly...
Its another one of those guys named Don.
"I grow tired of this. Vojtek, tear his arms off."

"I grow tired of this. Vojtek, tear his arms off."
Annoyance gone, the lad is now problem solving. Can you carry one of us up there w/ your witch flight? Take the fight right to him? With some cover fire, I think I can climb the tree...

Ali steps back--so they are not quite so clustered--and fires a cold iron-blanched arrow at the Piper.
Ali's shot sails off into the forest!
The dawn piper uses a spell-like ability!
"Ali! You need to practice more!" Davosh gives the dawn Piper the Big Eye
Will save
The lad leans his head down and scrunches up his eyes. These Don Piper guys are tricky. Luckily he was ready for something like that.
Stepping out of the overgrowth to the south is a tiny, vaguely humanoid creature which seems to be made completely of bundles of sticks wound with thorny vines! It blends in perfectly with the boughs and branches of the conifers, thus it is little wonder why Kappi's sharp eyes didn't see it!
A 15-foot conical burst of jagged splinters and brambles ejects from its body, capturing Kappi, Vojtek, and Edward in its barrage!
Almost as quickly as it appeared, it vanishes again!
[dice=DC 33 Perception]It is visible to you in the forest just south of the clearing opening![/spoiler]
Reflex Save
Kappi was surely surprised by the wee little bundle of sticks. His normally ninja reflexes were nowhere to be found...

Round 1
Still cursing lightly under his breath from the splintery pain, the rogue sprints forward to the rear of the tree. He will begin climbing on the next round.

Ali fires another CI arrow...

oops... vojtek moves away from the others and goes to where he last saw Groot. Sort of right in the narrow choke point west of him.
Kappi picks brambles out of his skin as he moves to the base of the tree, keeping an eye out for the source of his pain without success!
Edward knows what the party faces along with the dawn piper, and readies a shot for its reemergence!
Vojtek moves up to the opening of the clearing, his eyes peeled like Kappi's (with similar results)!
Ali sends another shot wide!
The dawn piper points her finger at the Northman, who feels a strange sxensation tugging at his mind!
Davosh cackles as he closes distance to the creature.
