Xara calls out taunts to the mite southeast of Oscar, using Antagonize (Diplomacy) to impose a -2 penalty to its attack rolls against any opponent except her. She calls out her taunts in Common and Draconic (next level, she needs to put a rank into Linguistics to get Sylvan).
The eagle assaults the mite next to it.
These attacks do not bypass DR, as the smite evil is expended.
Round 3
Xara does taunt it well, and soon if not killed will charge her. The eagle hovers and thrashes at the mite hitting hard, but does not down the little bugger.
Round 3
vs Shaken
vs Shaken
vs Shaken
Oscar will 5ft step toward next target and continue his concentration of Detect Evil (round 3 of 3)
Koldur's answer is a loud "Hmprh!" and a few other grunts as he lashes out with his weapons back and forth scattering or fouling attacks as they come.
Working his axes for a twin swings against the mite on a tick.
Oscar over swings the mite as it ducks its big bulbous head.
The mites coming charging in droves. Soon many are around the group.
Round 3
The mites attacks are easily deflected by your armor. Xara got attacked by one, Eagle by two, and Koldur by one. You can tell from their disorganized tactics they are likely weaker than the kobolds.
Round 4
Heroes go!
The odds didn't look good but this wasn't going to faze him. His axes rise and swing, his body following his movements as he dances across attacks and foes, his axes opening a path for him.
Round 4
Oscar will move against the Large creature that is attacking Koldur, in flanking position
We should kill this creature in no time
Round 4
As Oscar moves to strike the large insectoid and one of the Mites gets a strike between his plates of armor, .
plus grab and disease
Oscar's greatsword bites deep into the tick and blood bursts from the wound, it squeals in pain.
Koldur cuts down on one of the Mites his first hit making a small wound as the other appears to have no effect. The Mite smiles devilishly at Koldur cursing him in Sylvan.
As the mite she antagonized charges her, she gets an AoO on it.
This round, Xara takes a 5-foot step NW, concentrates, and creates an aura of protection. All allies within 20-feet of Xara (I think all of them that are currently fighting) get a +2 deflection bonus to AC and CMD for the next two rounds).
She uses her move action to "handle" Reafan, commanding him to fly over and fight.
Reafan charges the yellow mite.
The celestial eagle attacks the purple mite.
Fail.
Unable to hover and use its talons, the eagle bites at the mite.
Both of the birds hit their targets with their beaks but not enough damage is done to take them down.
The mites swing and hit armor and bodies but none of their blows make any damage. The giant tick turns on the Paladin and tries to grab him, though the paladin dodges the bite.
plus grab and disease
As more mites enter the fray!
Round 5
Heroes go!
Xara stabs at the tick with her longspear.
Reafan attempts to hover.
The giant raven then brings all its attacks to bear against the yellow mite.
Miss
Finally, the celestial eagle attempts to hover and attack the purple mite.
Miss
His axes sing as they twirl, slash and push against his foes, Koldur cannot help but notice something strange and his years of fighting tells him it cannot be good. His axes swing widely giving him berth and time to call to his allies over the din of combat, despite dealing little or not wounds this time as his purpose was to give himself breathing room.
"Blood!!!! Something's wrong with their blood!!! It's all heading towards the tree!"
Round 5
Some weird effect or is it something else? he says putting the hurt on the creature
For example: Oscar strikes at blue mite with his greatsword.
A better example: Oscar takes his greatsword in both hands and with an over head chop brings the mighty sword down upon the small blue creature.
Then there are other descriptive words you could use: It has been several rounds of swinging his heavy blade, he can feel the sweat build on his brow and on his body through the exertions he is forcing himself through. Bringing the blade around his body from the last strike he brings it up over his body and crashing down upon the little blue man. Staying alert he looks around him to see how his allies are faring against the fey and their allies.
Xara's attack goes wide as she focuses more so on defending herself. The yellow and pink mite is destroyed by the giant crow. Just as the eagle does the same to the purple and blue mite. (Please put a red X over them.)
Koldur puts the pain on the closest mite, making him fall as his other blow scratches the next closest mite making it fall as well. Oscar strikes the tick for a greater blow than before, slicing off two legs. It falls into the pool of its own blood as it screams in its death throes. The mite is flung from it back giving Oscar an AoO as it lands beside him. ( add another mite beside Oscar.) The mites last four legs sprawl and hit friend and foe alike, hitting Koldur for as the other legs fall feebly from the mites and Oscar alike.
The eagle takes two good hits from the enraged mites, 17 and 19. If they hit then 1d3+1 damage each.
, as they swarm around it.
Next round go!
Round 6
Having defeated the large Tick Oscar turns his attack on the group of mite surrounding him.
but the previous blow struck with so much power behind it that is left oscar a little bit off balance and that was enough for him to miss his intended target
A slight raise of his axe deflects a blow, a slight shift in his stance avoids another two. Raising Moon's Edge, Koldur brings it down in a sideswing using its momentum to propel him straight into the mob alongside Oscar!
He hated to admit it but the flailing of the giant tick hurt as he was avoiding yet another blow when it struck out.
Round 6
Koldur takes down one more mite as they retaliate. Maroon strikes Oscar breaking his short spear upon his armor.
The last mite attacking the raven hits well and cuts the birds wing, .
The eagle is cut down from its position from the swarm of mites around it.
Round 7
Heroes Go!
Now with Oscar, Koldur's dance takes a decided more agressive stance as this time his axes go into low swings and criss-crosses forcing his foes to back up or be slashes by quick swinging axes shortened in reach but no less devastating.
Round 7
Oscar relieved that the Large creature has been dispatched and that everyone was doing ok he tried to finish off a critter next to Koldur
Round 7
Koldur hurts one of them as Oscar kills another with a great over handed chop.
The giant raven misses the one next to it as it defends Xara. It gets surrounded by the last four.
Round 8
Heroes Go!
Now with another potion in him Sable stands up not wanting Xara's mount to be killed.
|
Round 7
Sable gets up as the healer feeds him a potion. He slowly approaches the Raven with sword in both hands. He speaks quietly to Xara, "Get your raven out of there before it is hurt, just get behind me and this should be dealt with quickly enough."
Round 8
He moves with pain obviously on his body, he moves so that the mites don't get an advantage and where he can cleave, he takes that action hoping to take down two with one strike. He has seen the ill effect the steel weapons have had on the fey and puts more power into his swing, bringing it across two of the little blue humanoids, only cutting the first in half.

"I must be losing my touch, hurt, and still recovering; back in the day I could gut two threats with ease, if not the whole lot of them."
"Don't strain yeself Elfie! Meself and Oscar here are more than enough!" Koldur calls out as he sees Sable joining in the battle.
Round 8
Go Koldur i got this. says oscar swinging his weapon at yet an other creature.
"Aye. In acknowledgement to Oscar, Koldur gives a loud bellow and rushes towards Sable.
"Bwah Ha Ha Ha. Not getting Soft are you Sable? You could take them all out with a dagger!" A swinging axe puncates his statement.
Xara sends Reafan to the air and away from the surrounding mites. She herself summons another celestial eagle to defend her.
[ooc]Not quite sure where these mites are, as the map doesn't look quite up-to-date, but it sounds like there are a lot and they are close.
bypassing DR
+1 if this is still the first mite (the target of its smite evil)
Round 8
With Mites falling left and right, only one is still attacking Oscar, Sable, and Kodur each. The slaughter should be over soon.
Finally the Mites land blows when their numbers are almost nill. Oscar gets hit with a devestating slice from an improvised medium dagger, , as Koldur gets hit by a small trident, .
Round 9
Heroes Go!
Round 9
having been discracted a few seconds the dagger found a week point in the armor and he gotten in deep
We are alsmot done he says attacking the one that manage to wound him
but most likely the pain left him unbalanced
to close partially his wound
Seeking any others near to him, Koldur swings Moon's Edge once. The keen edge of his axe singing through its path.
With a powerful flap of its wings, the eagle gains enough height to bring its talons and beak to bear on the closest mite.
The celestial eagle bites and slashes the creature. If it's still up, Xara summons another eagle, flanking with the first.
A flurry of golden beaks and talons tear into the creature.
Round 9
Sable stays as a defensive wall allowing Xara to attack if she wishes. The eagles slash one of the mites into pieces as Oscar and Koldur miss their targets.
Both mites are in a bloodied frenzy and keep attacking missing with each of their strikes, slamming their weapons on the armored bodies before them.
Round 10
Heroes go!!!
Round 10
As some of the wounds on oscar closes again he adjust his grip on his weapon and with a heavy blow
attack the creature right in front of him
The eagles move into flanking positions.
Assuming those were only 5-foot flaps, they both full attack, although eagle 2 isn't able to stay air-borne, and so only gets its bite.
3 damage total, after DR.
Xara herself stays out of it, allowing her celestial summons to fight for her.
Only one mite is left and between the two eagles, Oscar, and Koldur it falls in a bloody mess. The blood slowly seeping towards the tree just like all the other mites.
"Best I go with you if I can squeeze in. No telling what this tree wants with all that blood." Koldur remarks, a frown on his face.
That heavy armor in going to be a pain but yell if you need help once inside
Koldur you must remove any medium or heavy armor, otherwise you get stuck in the hole.
Sable heads down waiting for any of you to follow.
Just in case Oscar will start removing parts of his full plate armor in order to be left only with a chain shirt and then will follow Sable
A breastplate has a few straps and Koldur makes short work at that as he releases those very straps, to follow Sable.
Xara grimaces, but consents to remove her armour, stoop low, and crawl into the hole after the boys.
The three of you follow Sable into the tight quarters of the mite lair under the sycamore tree. In each room you can see debris. Following the blood it leads to the second floor room.
The wet-looking floor of this cavern is crisscrossed by several shallow trenches, each containing trickles of putrid looking fluid. Six foul mounds of compost and dung lie heaped about the room, each studded with small spherical eggs. The blood dissipates into the wet floor. Out of the wall looks like a small blue mite arm extends.

"We did not take much time to look through the piles of the mites, you might have a more discerning eye than mine and since we will have plenty of time on the return trip if you want we can take our time." Sable says in the tight rooms and tunnels.
Once in the cavern that they can actually stand up in, "Shall we cut out the walls and look for mites?"
Sounds like a good idea he says as he starts to swing his great weapon at the wall
Koldur nods and begins swinging his own axes, first to gauge how much space he had in swinging his favored weapons.
There is plenty of room to use heavy weapons. Soon enough the walls have been bashed in several spots showing a hollow for mite incubation.
