You can withdraw; up to double your move rate away as you wish. YOU can't pop a healing spell on yourself as well. It kinda specifically said with haste you don't get another spell on top of a full round action, just another weapon attack.
You can get to Oso though...Like H21 or so...
Seeing Elgan's distress, Pip hurries over as he retreats to try and help him

Yes, between Elgan's hasted state and your movement; Elgan can get to you on his retreat even.
"Don't kill the vampire! He'll just disappear and come back later. Drive a stake through his chest! Knock him down and stake him!
"Where the hell did the lizard-demon go?" Altai looks around, readying a spell.
Gittik's adversary is nowhere to be seen within the Great Hall.

Hmmm.....I don't think I've come across "vampire staking in actual combat" in 3.5. It was covered to great detail in Rifts.
OOPS....
The second attack (I didn't see)
did draw blood, (a little bit) and DID trip the lizardman.
Sorry;
Elgan got damaged last round; this 30 trip attempt was this round.
I missed the second attack somehow.
SO,.......the lizardman vampire is currently prone.
Anybody who's gone this round and wants to modify what they do can do so.
He's down. I missed that 30 attack roll. The lizard man is knocked down.
Sheeeeeeeeesh!!!
I don't know how I missed that second attack.
Musta been the glitterdust.

Seeing the vampire lizardman fall prone, Pip tries once again to brain him with one of his magical sling pellets. He whips his well-worn sling over his head and lets fly.
You hit him, but it doesn't do any good.
AND I double checked to make sure I knew what I was talking about...SHEEESH!!!
We got Beowulf, David and Goliath, and Jerry Springer Show all in the same combat here.
AND U.K. Pro Rasslin.
Oh, hell. I thought the thirtysomething was the damage.
Yeah, she's wasted.
<Stig takes a 5 foot step to get within 10 of the vampire. He chops at it overhand like wood on a chopping block with the magicked adamantine waraxe.>
2HPA@+8: 1d20+8=26, 2d8+23=30, Hasted attack: 1d20+8=17, 2d8+23=35
2nd attack: 1d20+3=7, 2d8+23=32
In a booming Stig-giant voice: "Quit yer movin' aroond bluid sucker!"
I used the position Heathy called. I'm waiting for Pip's new position and Elgan's retreat.
“We’re kicking his ass!” yells Beldan (probably prematurely).
Oso uses his sword to point at the prone lizard-demon. "My Prince defeat our foul enemy."
Then Oso calls on the power of his deity to smite the beast to oblivion.
Stiggy's blow damn near halves the bloodsucker's torso sagittally, and the holy water followed by the sacred scorching is too much for the creature. He turns to smoke, and flows away out the front door.
"You defeated him;" speaks the chieftan, "as have I, two times before.....he will be back tomorrow night."
END OF COMBAT.
1,400 experience points each character.
"Whew. <wipes his brow> Ah reckon we shoods fin' his lair an' stake 'eem."
"You defeated him;" speaks the chieftan, "as have I, two times before.....he will be back tomorrow night."

A few times, with help. The help got slaughtered in droves, and he lost a leg in battle to the vampire.
"Whew. <wipes his brow> Ah reckon we shoods fin' his lair an' stake 'eem."
His gaseous form slides along the marshy ground ever so slowly, slow as Stiggy walks anyway.

"Ah thooght lizards coods graw back tint limbs."

"Tenser. Track."
<Stig follows.>
<Sniffs the ground where the vampire stood against us, then follows the vapors.>
"Lets follow the cloud. He needs to make a beeline for home."
Altai turns to the chieftain. "Watch out for the last daughter. We'll be back in a bit. First, let's kill the half-dead demon-spawn."

The lizardfolk chieftan DOESN'T say, "I thought about that, but it's not in the Monster Manual."
He says, "sometimes,...we can grow back our tails. Some lizardfolk tribes count coup by chopping the opponent's tail off and eating it.
Our tribe, however, hasn't done that for generations. We're a little more enlightened."
"Lets follow the cloud. He needs to make a beeline for home."
Altai turns to the chieftain. "Watch out for the last daughter. We'll be back in a bit. First, let's kill the half-dead demon-spawn."
The one that Beldan dropped was actually regenerating...
"I know I can take on this.....granddaughter.....I'll be allright.
You softskins come back in one piece."
<Sniffs the ground where the vampire stood against us, then follows the vapors.>
Tenser's able to follow the trail; it reeks of rotten blood and other unsavoury things.
You all quest on into the night.
It's darker than a blackguard's soul. On and on, in the sticky sloshy mud and standing muck, until you reach an area of swamp more akin to a forest.
The gaseous form leads you to a boggy clearing, within the middle is a wide squat-seeming tree 150 feet wide and a trunk about 100 feet tall.
The tree's branches seem alive, though withered, almost tortured....like the desperate reaching claws of the penitent petitioners of some forgotten hell.
The gascloud seems to flow into this tree.
“We’ve gone after vampires in their lair before. Can’t be that hard … right guys?”
You're about 200 feet away from the tree, on the edge of a clearing that resembles more of a shallow pond than a meadow. It's not deep. It's walkable, though a muddy mess. Boots emerging from the turf make a sloshy sucking sound, and feet mound over with mud like those of a clay golem.
“No offence Elgan, but nature really sucks sometimes,” comments Beldan the city boy, trying to rescue a boot that has been half lost to the mud.
lol city boy;....at least it isn't a muddy street with horsedroppings mixed in for good measure...;)
It took about.....30 minutes to get there.
He's feeling a little better. I think he was down to 12 from 46.
I know Beldan is hurt, and Gittik is a bit...don't remember how much.
"Well, well... How come these jackasses never lair in cozy locations where it wouldn't be such a chore to fight them?" He looks at where the vampire-cloud seeped into the huge tree. "Let's find our way in."

"Burn the tree?"

"Burn the tree?"
"Burn the tree?"
Beldan almost falls over as he at last frees his boot from the mud.
"Anyone else think that tree looks kind of spooky, just out in that clearing by itself. I vote not being the first one to go over there."
Damn arsonists!!!
I'm sending you guys to the Asbestos Fortress of the Retardantomancer.
