They seem resistant to damage. What will hurt them?

Round 1:
WTF?: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit, no damage.
Ushyle: Hit
Vael: Color Spray
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Glitterdust

Another question: Any special attacks besides light? I'm going to assume they can produce light and become invisible in it.

You know that they can also mess with light to remove it too, perhaps even blinding foes. They're also tremendous fliers, they could turn this whole fight on its head if the whim strikes them...

Hamilton blanches a little bit.

Lurkers In Light. Da used to tell stories. They can turn the light against us--maybe blind us, make themselves invisible. They're born from ritual sacrifice. They're bad things, and they're impossible to understand. They'll seem crazy to us. I think they eat Dwarves.

Then Hamilton strikes out against the fey...

Longsword:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

And misses by a mile!

They're Fey. We'll need iron to do them any real harm. Or a... really brutal hit might do it.

Then they shall bend like copper under my hammer!

Hamilton can't connect, eliciting more laughter from the two. The lurkers in light, not liking you getting wise to their plan, begin to flutter. Only the glitterdust keeping them completely visible.

The injured fey tries to stab Vael. ATK: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 THREAT ATK: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 and gets him good! DMG: 2d3 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5 and then it twists and flits away Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

The uninjured stabs at Hamilton! ATK: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 and draws blood!! DMG: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 + A FORT SAVE. and then it twists and flits away just as it's other half Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Round 2:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Go
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go + FORT
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Go + FORT
Raen: Go

Fort Save:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

WP tries to track these little devils and takes aim at the damaged one.
attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
damage!: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"You know, you suck at this right, little devils?"

Doxon charges up the lane and swings hard for the little flier that escaped his reach.

Agrimmosh: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 = 13

Hamilton feels his strength darken and ebb just a bit 1 STR DRAIN.

Whistle Pig hits again only a touch harder but Doxon's swing really strikes hard. The fey seems to have plenty of fight left though.

Round 2:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go + FORT
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Go

Ushyle doesn't know what lurkersin lights are, but he knows they are clearly on the other side of the party. Ham's assurance that they're bad things is enough for the half-orc. He charges the one Doxon hit with his greataxe.

charge, greataxe: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
dmg: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Ushyle closes. Though he connects, it's not a very telling blow. The other Lurker seems only mildly hurt.

Round 2:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Hit
Vael: Go + FORT
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Go

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 +2 vs Poison, Spells, Spell-like abilities.

Vael sees that what the party needs is a bit of luck. He reaches out to the Spirits of Fortune, urging them to twist their dice in Doxon's favour. Fortune on Doxon. Roll twice on a d20 roll of your choice til the end of the round.

Raen thumbs the spellbook strapped to her side nervously. She doesn't have much magic left to call on. Best to let someone else do the fighting for me.

Her eyes flash to a deep, bright blue, and the air around begins swirling as if by an invisible current... begin full-round cast.

Vael shakes off the worst of the poison, though it's already done its damage. The shamanic spirits give Doxon a big advantage for a moment while Raen begins to call in reinforcements.

Round 2:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Hit
Vael: Shaman waza
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Magic!

Ham feels his sword arm go a little numb, but presses on... Recognizing that these Fae are the stuff of bad, waking dreams, and that he'll need a BIG hit to squish one... He gets ready for a big hit.

Hamilton activates the Half Plate From a Giant and doubles in size. He closes to attack range.

STR 17
CON 20
DEX 12

AC is still 22, but now with DR 5/Evil
Longsword is +7 with 2d6 Damage

New Poison Save?:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

the snickering from the fey sputters a bit as Hamilton grows in size. His hale body fights off any additional effects from the poison as he gets in close to the lurkers.

They immediately assume Hamilton is bad news. The severely injured one flitters backwards Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 and then weaves a spell to shut down the ranger. Fort DC 16 or go blind!

The other stands it's ground for a moment, stabbing with its blade:
ATK v. Ushyle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13, but misses. It then flits away, flying over the jungle below. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Round 3:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Go
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Go + AoO
Raen: Go

Fortitude Save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Longsword:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Hamilton yelps and blinks rapidly, trying to clear his eyes. He does and wildly swings at the retreating fae.

EDITED because of PbP procedure.

The spell fails to take hold of the rangers eyes, but so too does his swing fail to hit the Lurker.

Round 3:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Go
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Go

CHARGE!:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Confirm:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Nope! Bummer.

Damage on Hit:2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Hamilton keeps the pressure on, scoring a hit just hard enough to hurt.

Round 3:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Go
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Hit
Raen: Go

Caught up in the excitement of the fight, Doxon follows after Hamilton and charges the lurker.

Agrimmosh1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Agrimmosh2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2) + 5 = 12

WP sees the Forlorn Fey Fairey trying to flee. He tires to knock it out of the sky.

bullet to black: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
damage?: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Doxon's swing hit hard. The fey's resistance to the metal helps, but still the wounds begin to add up, and the creature seems a little less confident now. If only Doxon can score another hit like that.

Across the way another bullet hits its target, this time Whistle Pig put enough heat on it to harm the beastie.

Round 3:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Hit
Raen: Go

Vael continues to mold and urge the Spirits of Fortune to help, this time to help Ushyle. The half-orc feels a momentary improvement of his chances.
Fortune on Ushyle. Roll twice on a d20 roll of your choice til the end of the round.

Doxon's success fuels more help from Vael, this time to Ushyle!

Round 3:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Shaman waza part deux
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Hit
Raen: Go

Ushyle feels the boon drift through him as he charges in on White.
greataxe, charge: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
Fortune roll: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
dmg if hit: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Ushyle helps gang up on the lone fey, but his hit isn't overly strong, even if it's on target. The fey keeps it together, but is on his last wing.

Round 3:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Hit
Vael: Shaman waza part deux
Doxon: Hit
Hamilton: Hit
Raen: Go

A living storm comes into being behind the surrounded fey. From behind the fighters comes an emphatic command.

Raen steps cautiously toward the more distant flyer, flinging a fizzing green vial at it while the whirlwind smashes a fist into the other.

Acid @ Black: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 acid

Slam @ White: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30 THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28
Critical Damage: 2d4 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 + 4 = 11

Elemental: AC 17, HP 17.

The whoosh of air appears, but it's slightly different than normal. Verdent leaves swirl in the winds, and the birds below change their sings to something more frantic, though happy.

While Raen's vial falls well short of the target, and far below a tarsier screeches in agony.

The storm, however, hits the fey hardenough to send it tumbling to the jungle below!

The remaining one goes straight at Raen, opting for a flyby stab of the dagger. Flyby: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 but misses!

Round 4:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Go
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Go

WP moves to get a better shot at the last pathetic pixie.

Whistle Pig's sling whistles and cracks, striking the fey!

Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Go

Vael moves to a protective position by Raen, pulling out the longspear as he goes. Seeing the creature at range, he continues to coerce the Spirits of Fortune... This time to help Whistle Pig.
Fortune on Whistle Pig. Roll twice on a d20 roll of your choice til the end of the round.

Vael continues to be generous as the odds swing towards the party!

Round 4:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Fortes Fortuna Adivvat
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Go

Doxon moves to interpose himself between the Lurker and the others, ready to smash the little might if it comes close.

REady to attack if it comes within range

Raen produces another vial and gets ready to throw it. The elemental, meanwhile, follows its command.

Slam @ Black: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Doxon readies his hammer and Raen a vial, while the elemental continues to harry the fey.

Round 4:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Fortes Fortuna Adivvat
Doxon: Ready
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Ready

The half-orc makes his way over to the other side, interposing himself between the nasty fey and Vael and Raen. He readies himself to make a melee attack if the thing comes within range.

Bow time!

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Enough?

2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Hamilton's arrow goes wide as Ushyle prepares.

The Fey never approaches though, instead opting to duel the elemental. It drops the dagger, and opts for claws!

claw 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 but misses!

claw 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 for DMG: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Round 5:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Go
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Go
Doxon: Go
Hamilton: Go
Raen: Go

WP moves to get a better shot as this rather annoying fey.

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
attack with fortune: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
damage?: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Vael (because of uptime on the site) quickly moves closer and funnels the Spirit of Fortune into the air elemental.

Fortune on the air elemental. Roll twice on that attack please :)

Whistle Pig hits on target but not hard enough to affect the creature.

Vael tries to increase the elemental's odds while it's still here

Round 5:
Lurkers in Light: Atk
Whistle Pig: Hit
Ushyle: Go
Vael: Fortune
Doxon: Go
