Sumatek and Casvian prepare for the coming onslaught. They are getting impatient as the seconds seem to pass by like hours.
Teriwynth responds to Edelle's call for light. He begins the process of igniting a pebble. Being a man of flare, Teriwynth uses his magic to bring a stone to him rather than walking up to it. He begins chanting as he does this.
Alric dangles from the roof for a moment longer, his feet hanging down and trying to find purchase. He needs to keep trying.
Edelle looks out into the darkness for what she can see, but without the moon, it is of no avail.

Teriwynth ignites the pebble in his hand with a magical light. then tosses it toward Edelle. It rolls against gravity out of his hand and floats toward her.
Alric gets frustrated and extends his fingernails into powerful claws that help him to finally lift up onto the roof of the building.
Casvian and Sumatek listen intently to the night and are startled to hear the roaring screech of large felines coming in from the night.
Cast Extended Mage armor using the rod, then put it away in favor of the longbow.
If I have not cast Longstrider yet I will do so now. If I have cast it already then I will hold my action until I see the first one come into view.
Next turn I'm going to dancing lights, arranging the 4 lights into a 10x10 box with a light at each corner than use that box as a spotlight, moving it into the tall grass about 10 ft off the ground.
Waiting with his finger on the trigger Sumatek readies an attack for anything that comes within 50ft.
Edelle readies an attack against the first creature that is in range.
From out of the shadow, as soon as Teriwynth ignites the pebble to give to Edelle, burst two cats the size of men barrelling at incredible speed toward the town. Teriwynth is caught off guard as the beasts attempt to attack him. Alric sees the advancing beasts, and casts final preparatory spells to prepare to move into action. Sumatek and Casvian hear the sounds of battle around the corner, and attempt to snipe one of the cat-beasts as it comes into the light. They rain down arrows upon one cat and easily bring it down. As it slides into the dirt, a harsh beastial cry of pain can be heard from the hillside in the distance.
As soon as he gets his dancing lights set up, Teriwynth is mauled by a cheetah biting into him at the end of its sprint. The cheetah attempts to trip him, but he resists being pulled off balance.
Edelle sees the action going on, but is too far out of reach at the moment. She looks on in frustration.

Teriwyth is mauled by a cheetah biting into him at the end of its sprint. The cheetah attempts to trip him, but he resists being pulled off balance.
Teriwyth reels, quickly ducking away he begins reciting a spell. Glancing up to his left he sees Alric on the 2nd floor, to the right Edelle, unsure of his other comrades exact locations he uses it on the people he can see.
Duration: 5 Rounds
Effect:
To Paraphrase you get an additional attack when you full attack, +1 to hit, +1 to Dodge AC, +1 to Reflex Saves, and +30 ft movespeed.
The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with one natural or manufactured weapon. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.
Sumatek loads another poisoned bolt and takes careful aim at the second cheetah.
He lets the bolt fly.
Slipping back into the shadows Sumatek attempt to hide again

The group quickly dispatches the second cheetah before it can harm anyone else. Teriwynth's boon sends energy through the blood of his allies as the world around them seems to slow. In the distance, a tiger the size of a horse can be seen running into the light toward the group. Beside it is the man-beast. This creature is dark as night and has many beastial and savage features. It still walks like a man, and something about it's gait seems strangely...feminine. A trio of other cats emerge from the darkness toward the group, their teeth gnashing and their eyes looking wild. These creatures are obviously much slower than the cheetah's, but they look like they pack a whallop.

The words race through his mind as teriwyth reaches out for the magic, reciting the words under his breath he lets loose the most potent magics he has to bear.
I attack the Man Beast!
Dropping the hand crossbow to the ground sumatek drops over the fence and moves over to the edge of the road beneath Edelle. Keeping To the shadows and staying clear of the light he pulls his weapons out as he moves.
Seeing the man beast and the huge animal with him he prepares to move in to attack the man beast as he nears.
Trying to draw them towards where Casvian can attack them I drop back to O113.

Teriwynth unleashes a powerful burst of fire that harms the two largest cats and the man beast.
All of the creatures slow from their run and move up to attack on their next round. They are in a short section of darkness between Edelle's light source and Teriwynth's
Alric, with his keen vision looks into the darkness and fires two shots almost directly through the heart of the man beast, which tetters for a moment before dropping down to the ground.
The remaining creatures and people prepare for the assault coming the next round.
I wish to hold my action till after the Lion and Tiger have acted again. If their actions trigger any AoO I'll roll them in that post. (I'm guessing it's going to be a boring full round attack after the animals rush in)
Calmly retreating to the street and relative safety of his companions Teriwyth begins talking softly, the meaning is lost but it's effect is instant and uplifting.
Now attacking the Tiger

Alric- Init 13
Leopard- Init 5
The largest of the cats moves up to the building where Alric stands and attempts to leap up to his position. The building itself almost crumbles as the Large Tiger latches on to the base of the roof. It is just a few feet away from Alric and from here he can see the ferociousness of the beast.
The smaller lion attempts to pounce on Edelle. Casvian fires two arrows as the beast approaches, one strikes the beast in its shoulder, which still smoulders with heat from Teriwynth's fireball. The lion still charges forward for Edelle, but her weapon provides her with the edge she needs to take it out mid-leap before its mighty jaw reached her.
The nearby area now clear Teriwynth goes around the corner, continuing to recite some bit of obscure poetry, looking up at the sound of creaking wood and snapping beams. Seeing a really really big cat clawing it's way up the roof teriwyth clenches his right hand into a fist, quickly stepping forward, his speed greatly enchanced by his eariler spell. Raising his right hand he lets loose a gout of fire to engulf the cat.
Bardic Performance (Inspire Courage) - 5 Rounds Remaining
Hearing what sounds like a ship crashing into a building Edelle runs around the corner to see the giant cat dangling off the wall, and attempts to make Dim Sum on Skewer despite not know what that is. (from M1016)

Alric- Init 13
Leopard- Init 5
Teriwynth pushes past Sumatek, who fades into the background. Maybe his fighting spirit has broken, or maybe he always had more sinister intentions. Whatever the case, Sumatek disappears from view.
After a burst of fire comes from Teri's hands, Edelle moves in and is just able to reach the cat with the point end of her bardiche, but it does not penetrate the animal's thick hide. The beast clambers up onto the roof and it faces Alric now, it swipes with a single deadly claw, but Alric ducks out of the way of the feral beast and moves away from the corner.
The remaining cats move quickly in to aid their ally. Casvian sees a shot as one passes by his sight. He fires two arrows at the leopard, and one strikes the creature, causing it to stutter in its steps, but it does not fall yet.
@Casvian: Most of your allies are moving toward the building beside yours. You can hear the sounds of combat coming from that direction. Heavy breathing, the clink of metal and the scratch of claws.
Teriwyth tries to peer above the roof but is unable to get a good look at the cat from directly beneath the building so he moves further back to stand beside Edelle, twisting his grip on the rapier he holds it like a spear and casts it fourth, continuing to blather on with strange words which grant himself and his companions a small measure of courage and peace. he blade flies straight towards the cat creature and then back into his hand.

Round 11
Teriwynth-Init 23 *
Edelle –Init 17 *
Casvian-Held action *
Lion, Tiger-Init 15 *
Alric- Init 13
Leopard- Init 5
Teriwynth moves to see the tiger. Its size means that it is not difficult to spot. He flings his rapier so as to have it plunge into the beast. Unfortunately, the creature's hide is just too tough and the rapier does not pierce anything before returning to Teri's hand.
Edelle, seeing the leopard running up to the building, attempts to catch it and stop it from boxing in Alric. This cat is caught off guard because it has just finished a sprint into the fray. Edelle easily lands a hit, and the leopard is unable to move until the pressure-point she hit releases.
The large cat on the roof steps back and its reach covers the whole span of the roof. It reaches a claw to Alric as he advances with his falcata, but misses in its swing. With the beast already severely burned, Alric drives home the blade and the tiger's body goes limp and falls. The tiger reverts a moment later to a much less intimidating appearance. Obviously, it was aided by magical means to be as ferocious as it was.
With one Leopard stunned, the second one takes its chance to attack the only target it can see. The animal leaps at Teriwynth with a pounce. All attacks hit and the claws rend at Teri's kneecaps as the beast's powerful jaw grasp at Teriwynth's hand.
Seeing Teriwyth struggling with another cat, Alric calls upon his most precise weapon, 3 bolts of pure arcane energy lance outwards to strike the beast, tracing erratic patterns in their flight.
The animal leaps at Teriwynth with a pounce. All attacks hit and the claws rend at Teri's kneecaps as the beast's powerful jaw grasp at Teriwynth's hand.
Teriwyth goes down exclaiming "Gaaahhh!" as the creature is gnawing on his knee like a chicken bone. He stares into the eyes of the beast and attempts to disrupt the creature's mind with profound words.
Stepping back to attack with my bardiche, I let loose an amazing burst of fury.

Teriwynth attempts to distract the beast with his murmurings, but it does not appear to have any effect. The leopard is in the middle of battle and not about to be soothed into submission.
Edelle unleashes a flurry of attacks with her chosen weapon, but her first two attack fly wildly away. The last two passes connect quite successfully, and they are more than enough to bring down the leopard.
Casvian does not see any more action from his location, but things seem to be quieting down.
Alric launches three orbs from his hand that quickly pick up speed and become jagged blurs before sinking into the heart of the last leopard, and striking it down. It is just on the cusp of consciousness, but it poses no threat in the least.
The night is quiet now, but there are whispers in the distance coming from in town. Perhaps they heard the sounds of combat and are curious about what is transpiring. Looking out, you can barely make out the outline of where the man-beast fell in tall grass.
Whoo! Time to get me a new fur cloak!
Edelle wanders over to the man beast and attempts to figure out what the F it is.
Perception:
I make my way over.
Teriwyth grunts in pain as he sits up and shoves off the dead body. Looking up at Edelle he says between labored breaths "Thank You my dear, that was looking like quite the uncomfortable situation." Raising his middle and pointer finger Teriwyth mumbles a few words as a soft light flows from his fingers into him.
Pulling himself to his feet he sheaths the rapier. Looking down at the Cheetah Teriwyth examines it to see if it also bears the telltale signs of temporal magic.
