Braxton's bomb explodes on impact. After the flash and debris clear, the ugothol drops... it's arm is destroyed, and a black oily substance gloops out.
Mayor takes Errik's hesitation as a chance to regain his authoritative presence... it turns to tantrum levels... "I?! Should give a gaunt fruit for what slithers off your treacherous tongue? You you hag!" He pushes up his remaining sleeve.
"I will embrace death as you wish Crone! After I turn these impudent interlopers into shreds of flesh... I will hunt you down Crone!" the spittle starts to fly "I will hunt you down... and your bones will be a white picket fence for your foul remains!!"
The trueform Ugothols lope over to the many Corums. They scramble to either side.. as if trying to herd all of the Corum's in.
One of the still-human looking workers charges Braxton with a hatchet, the one near him armed with a club cautiously strafes to flank. Though a nasty swing, Braxton deflects enough to only receive a imminent welt from the shaft.
The third still-human worker limps scorched over to Doyle's side... eyeing Errik. (5' step, readied action to mollywop Errik if he moves)
Corum - I just realized you may have meant move 30' further away rather than just 30 feet. If that is the case, you are at (aM,64)and ugothols made a full run to be on either side instead of just double-move.

Hearing Corum's cries for back up he shakes his head, "Little busy prying off this guises! HAHA!" He draws his crowbar in two hands and smashes the guised workers.
A hairy chunk flies off the side of the worker's head from Braxton's blow. His slick black true skin balloons out from the wound. He starts to grow and his human skin dries, cracks, and is sucked into the black skin like dead leaves sinking in oil.
Mayor Doyle turns, and looks over the battle... You now see Errik has been encased in a transparent bubble.
About a hundred feet to the southwest, you see two blond young women wrestling with each other near a large mound of felled trees. They look identical from here, though the one in the cloak appears to be badly injured.
"You could surrender... or things could turn real ugly..."
Errik - yes, this is your 3rd round in the bubble... burned a 4th level spell to move things along if you want to see it in a positive light.
Round 5
Mayor Doyle tells the worker near him to join the others fighting Braxton and Corum, then walks over to Errik.
"You and your allies have not the power to best me... join me, and I will spare their lives."
The Faceless Stalkers trying to corral Corum lope after... swiping at him and his illusionary doubles with their disproportionately long limbs. They begin to strike when a blast of scintillating colors stops them briefly in their tracks.. twenty feet from the elf wizard.
The one clonked by Braxton takes a step back out of the crowbar's reach, then swings at him and connects with his hatchet. The other tries to club him... also from a distance, but succeeds only in knocking Braxton's hat askew.
5 damage to Braxton
