Fenna stumbles away from her reptilian assailant, nodding thanks to the large warrior beside her before repeating the prayer she failed to properly utter just seconds earlier.
The lizardfolk warrior next to Fenna's new position takes a swipe at her, but his morningstar bounces off her sturdy armour...
The magically quickened strokes of Casimir's blade seem like silver flashes of lightning as he slashes away at the warrior next to him.
Attack rolls:
He then attacks the lizardfolk warrior north of him, threatening Malthir.
Attack rolls:
Edit: Crit threat
Casimir cuts down two lizardfolk warriors in quick order, not quite managing to behead the second in a single strike.
The concubine is dragged into the mud by a grinning crocodile, who leisurely bites her for her troubles. Despite itself and its allies being attacked, the weak-willed concubine shrugs and moves to obey (this provokes an AOO from Kalev is he wishes to take it...).
The last concubine in the fight is currently being sat on by a crocodile, and she continues to desperately try and escape- getting nowhere in the process... The only concious Narlmarch Mugger shuffles in close to Kalev and tries to bite him, but slips in the pools of blood all over the battlefield, and ends up headbutting him in the boot instead...

Malthir steps 5' north to attack the remaining Lizard folk warrior.
If he drops the LF, as a move equiv. action he will put away his sword.
Ilya, can you see what the Lizard King is doing and where he is?
The last, fanatical fighting lizardfolk warrior continues his determined efforts to take Kalev down, but gets nowhere...
Kalev takes a swing at the Concubine.
He then makes two quick attacks at the lizardfolk closest to him.
Malthir lifts his shield to protect himself against the blood flying everywhere from Kalev's axe of doom :)
Kalev's axe makes short work of the three remaining combatants, leaving only a single concubine struggling under the weight of Mr. Chompers.
"We should finish this quickly," Fenna says, looking at the unconcious bodies strewn about the lizardfolk village, "they will not be incapacitated indefinately."
Ilya sees King Vesket stoop as he enters the northernmost hut he was standing beside. Most of the victims of Fenna's colour sprays have gained or are regaining conciousness, still stunned for now.
Ilya, can you web this group as soon we move away from here to keep them occupied while we move against the king? Otherwise we should finish them. They might be useful for bargaining though in case he holds the boy hostage against us.
It seems we must face the king and his remaining minions if we wish to save the boy. Let us heal our injuries and cast whatever defensive spells we have at our disposal. We had best neutralize the surviving warriors, so they don't fall upon us from behind. Perhaps we can use them to strike a bargain. And if the king harms the boy, I say we burn this place to the ground, and rout the survivors into the swamp.
Casimir pulls out his wand of healing and applies it to himself.
Malthir's round 6 action will be to cast bless on everyone and then move 40' north and then west towards the king and his remaining warriors. We should be clear of the warriors this round, be ready to web them up! Follow me to the king, we can cast as we move. Kalev, what do you think about entangling them once we are upon them?
I can do that, Kalev says, then bends down and picks up a few strands of grass, preparing a prayer to Erastil.
Once the course of action is decided, Fenna nods in agreement and follows Malthir around the hut.
Ilya takes flight twenty feet above the battlefield, and his stinking cloud dissipates, the conjuration magic holding it failing. Mr. Chompers finishes off the concubine he was grappling and left to his own devices, begins to savage the warriors regaining conciousness with his bite and tail.

Entangle on color spray survivors.
Malthir blesses the group and then begins to lead the advance towards Vesket and his men. Kalev follows, causing the roots and weeds of the muddy ground to rise up and tether the stunned survivors, making Mr. Chomper's carnage even easier to wreak. Vesket's remaining two braves maintain their courage and spread out, wary of any more magic. Fenna follows Malthir closely. King Vesket exits the hut and with a small run up and a mighty roar, hurls a javelin at Malthir. As if blessed by the gods themselves, the large, simple weapon's point pierces Malthir's mighty armour and his chest, imbedding itself mere inches from his heart. King Vesket's remaining warriors roar in triumph at the throw, taking heart from his efforts.
Crit threat...
Critical hit...
16 damage Fenna, 17 damage Malthir
Casimir moves swiftly westward, trying his best to avoid the roots and weeds grasping at his legs.
His quick reflexes serve him well, and he moves within sight of the king and his remaining followers.
Guardians, whatever else may transpire here today, know that our actions is already worthy of legends!
He then adds, Stand firm...let him come to us, so that we may fall upon him from every side.
He then adds, Stand firm...let him come to us, so that we may fall upon him from every side.
I think that Ilya was planning to introduce them to the spell web...
Vesket's last Blood Caiman breaks the detente first, surging in between the two huts to get at Malthir. As the crocodile moves between the two huts, Ilya begins casting a web spell, and beside Ilya without warning a ghostly green floating orb of mist that has a vague resemblance to a lizardfolk skull appears, attacking him during his spellcasting.
Hit
Shock Damage...
Concentration (fail)
The floating, ghostly green apparation moves into contact with Ilya, jolting him with a powerful wave of electricity and causing his spell to fail.
Vesket roars in Common.
This abberation is a will o' wisp, an evil abberation that feeds off fear and the essence of the dying. They are often known to simply follow armies, invisible and feasting off the carnage. They have a natural invisibility they can activate as a move action. This one is medium sized rather than small, which suggests it has grown strong...
In addition to a deadly shock touch attack, a will o' wisp is immune to all spells that allow spell resistance except Magic Missile and Maze. Any time a will-o'-wisp is within 15 feet of a dying creature or creature subject to a fear effect, it gains fast healing 5.
Unimpeded by the Elven wizard, the crocodile moves in to bite Malthir, the ruler of Kardas battering the crocodile's lunge back with his shield. Meanwhile, Mr Chompers claims another victim...

Inspire Courage, +1 (DOES stack with bless)
I notice your attack rolls and damage on your profile are still using the +1 sword... Is that an error or a character choice?
You will have to strike me much harder than that Vesket, you see I am protected by my goddess, not some some monster pretending to be a spirit.
5'step back to the NE
Should catch all of the Guardians including Ilya. Move equivalent action to draw his sword.
Malthir smiles at Vesket as Iomedae's healing washes over him, healing almost all of his wounds, the Javelin clattering to the floor.
Casimir lets out a sigh of relief as the healing energy wash over him. Upon hearing Ilya's words, he looks across the bodies that litter the village, and the celestial crocodile that is cheerfully chewing it's way through the survivors.
"Feasts on carnage to heal itself? We had better bring it down fast, then. Because we sure have created plenty of carnage."
Working his way around the northern hut, the lizardfolk warrior moves into melee with Fenna, seeking to disrupt her options. However, Kalev's reach with his axe prevents him from coming as close as he'd like...
Kalev swings at the lizard man moving up to Fenna.
He then turns to the crocodile, bringing his axe down with massive force.
Kalev's massive axe makes short work of both of his targets, leaving the crocodile dying on the ground and almost cutting the lizardfolk in half, killing him instantly.
Clearly a little nervous, the final two braves move in front of Malthir- but instead of attacking they keep their shields up and ready their weapons to parry any blows coming their way.
Fenna first slumps slightly under the weight of the magical link between herself and Malthir, but the bolstering energies of Iomedae restores her resolve. Backing against the wall of the domed hut, she begins to call fir aid from an otherworldly ally.
"Magnificent Aethrill, proud companion on the Merchant's travels, please aid us in this noble struggle."
King Vesket draws his massive trident and moves into place behind his warriors, leaning over to stab at Malthir with his three pronged weapon. Despite the magical enhancements protecting Malthir, the trident just barely forces its way through them, the strength behind it forcing the cruel prongs into Malthir's armour.
Charge attack
Fenna wavers in her incantation slightly as her strength wanes once more, but she manages to barely maintain control.
Determined to bring down the mighty Lizard King as quickly as possible, Casimir deftly closes in on Vesket.
Once in position, Casimir grips his Aldori sword with both hands, charges it with his arcane magic and slashes savagely at the large lizard.
Casimir just barely manages to leap into position before Vesket can bring his trident to bear, but his duelling blade fails to penetrate Vesket's tough hide, although it cuts through the leather armour with ease.
Ilya, why don't you bring your friend down here so we can have a chat with it?
Ilya places a web between the two huts, the conjured material extending from behind Vesket and his two warriors to just encompass them while leaving Casimir just barely safe from them. Ilya floats directly above Vesket and the webs, the webs providing him with cover from Vesket and his two braves. Vesket and the braves are grappled by the spiderwebs, failing to get out of the way in time.
Apparently angered by Ilya fleeing it so easily, the spirit of Stisshak flies swiftly across the battlefield to attack Ilya once more... It appears to have perfect maneuvrability in the air.
