spellcraft: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

Aurin shakes of the Fear spell, and together with Breeze's missiles sends second the girallon back to the reincarnation line but fails to trip the other. The high girallon seizes the opening and savages the monk.

2nd: Aurin 88/100, Breeze 72/72, Guo

fist: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

The match wears on between Aurin and the girallon, neither able to break each other's defences. Meanwhile, Breeze flies over to Xungis who remains lying unconscious on the altar. Items of planar make lay strewn near altar as the bids for the boy. The females girallons have come out to stand on front of their caves, watching both the far battle and the faux air elemental approaching; they growl in a warning to not come any closer.

Round 11
1st: High Girallon 28
2nd: Aurin 95/100, Breeze 72/72, Guo

Breeze seeing that the female apes seem to be guarding their cave entrances takes the opportunity to softly speak the arcane incantation for a harmless spell that will fill the area with mist.

obscuring mist

Aurin and the high girallon thrash either into a bleeding mess, while Breeze lays down a thick cover for escape. As the fog spreads, the females all screams out in panic at the strange effect.

Round 12
1st: High Girallon 28-21
2nd: Aurin 71/100, Breeze 72/72, Guo

>all up

Aurin's intention remains unaffected by the fury of the ongoing fight. He is still. Calmness imbues his soul. The calmness that can only come from knowing that you do what's right!

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17, Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Flurry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11, Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

While preparing to grab the boy Breeze quietly mutters to himself.

"Well it is a law albeit its a Fated law but a law none the less...."

Then he quickly gathers as much off the alter as he can before grabbing the boy to fly off.

"Always get something for your efforts.

How many rounds are you spending to grab things before the boy?

2 unless I hear the females coming last round and 1 more

bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

claw,rend: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 >>1d6 + 5 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (4) + 5 = 15

The girallon gets the better of the monk, tearing him righteously into pieces with joy. Being mindful of the other females, Breeze grabs whatever he can of the archaeological find.

Round 1 of grabbing, got 2 items

Round 13
1st: High Girallon 49
2nd: Aurin 37/100, Breeze 72/72, Guo

>all up

Grabbing what he can Breeze fearing to take his eyes off the battle for too long grabs the boy and heads back in the direction of the melee flying high and over the ruins as he can.

my fly is only 60'

Aurin quickly changes tactics, withdrawing from melee! He backs up with great mobility 75 ft away and waves, taunting the beast to come at him!

"Come beast! Here I am! I've killed your followers and thrown your strength into question! Kill me if you can tyrant weakling!

Breeze make off like a kidnapper with young Xungis, while Aurin taunts the beast. The high girallon roars against the mockery and incants a spell - suddenly disappearing and reappearing next to the monk!

Round 14
1st: High Girallon 49
2nd: Aurin 37/100, Breeze 72/72, Guo

>all up

Breeze flys up and over the rubble to get to the area he last saw Guo. once there he hands the boy to him.

"Take the boy and head for the portal. We shall follow as we can."

Aurin uses his spring attack and clears the 10ft distance to the High Girallon! He focuses his stunning fist in an attempt to sicken the creature!

If successful with the next attack the creature will have a -2 to attack rolls, saving throws, damage rolls, skill and ability checks! Fortitude DC is 20!

Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24, Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Aurin then quickly springs out 50ft!

axe: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 >>damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Aurin's Stunning Fist misses the mark only angering the girallon more. It pulls out a pair of huge axes and hurls them at the retreating monk.

Guo takes the boy from Breeze and darts off, ”YES MASTA!”

Round 14

2nd: Aurin 28/100, Breeze 72/72, Guo

"WAAATAAAAH!"

Aurin then springs back 40 ft!

Breeze once again flys up and over the rubble trying to get line of sight on Aurin and once he comes into view directs his healing energys at him.

cure serious wounds: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 6, 2) + 5 = 20

>all up

Remember that the High Girallon is at a -2 to everything now.

Aurin springs in 10ft and attacks in an attempt to fatigue the High Girallon!

[ooc]Fortitude DC is 20. If succesful the creature will take a -2 to STR and DEX, and can neither run nor charge. If it does anything that normally causes fatigue will force it into exaustion![ooc]

Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17, Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Aurin then springs back out 50 ft!

Breeze taps into the last reserves of healing he has and heals the monk 1 last time.

"That is it for my healing abilities my friend. There is not much else I can do for you in this fight."

cure serious wounds: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 5 = 10
