While Zethyris patiently waits for whomever or whatever it is to exit the tent he is almost knocked off of his when a very big mass of black and grey fur bursts out from the side of the tent. He quickly raises Clarisse and strikes out, scoring a vicious gash in the fur which resolves itself into a massive wolf standing upright and staring down murderously at Zethyris. It quickly slashes at him with a backhand swing of a hammer but the blow passes harmless over the half elf's head. Thorvald rushes in to slash at the werewolf but his blow falls short. Unable to aid his absent companion Skallangbiorn summons a spectral great sword to harass the werewolf. The towering Jediah charges forward and stabs the werewolf with his now enormous glaive piercing a bloody hole in its torso. Meanwhile, Rutilux tears a hole in the second tent to ensure no more surprises but finds the tent empty. Anastasiya floats overhead an fires a score of force bolts into the werewolf.

New Round up top. Just waiting for Julien to adjust his action to finish the lower fight.

Julian grunts as the worg tears into his flesh. This was the plan, follow it. He throws down a sleeping gas bomb and darts off in the planned direction.

Zethyris moves to a flanking position and strikes while the wolf is distracted. 5-ft step and full attack, if that can get me flanking. If not, tumble to flank and attack once.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 = 36 flanking
Crit auto-confirms again. Skall's the best!
Damage: 2d8 + 13 + 8 + 3d6 ⇒ (7, 6) + 13 + 8 + (2, 5, 6) = 47 Destructive Aura, sneak attack

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 = 31 flanking
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 4 + (2, 6, 5) = 32 Destructive Aura, sneak attack

Additional 3 points of bleed. Damage counts as magical and silver.

Rutilux is startled. For a moment he wonders if he's falling for invisibility or some other trick If I am, I'm not likely to 'unfall' for it anytime soon.

Seeing his allies being pressed, Rutilux spins his horse and turns on the nearest furred foe to strike with his flail.

"We may have lost the occupants of one of the tents," He tells Skallingborn even as he strikes.

To hit with Magic flail: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Dmg if that hits, destruction included: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
2nd to hit roll 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Dmg if that hits: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

I think we got ourselves a gibbed werewolf

Thorvald goes in two handed on Wintersbane.

Wow, okay, Enlarged, +4 Aura of destruction, +2 Heroism, Rage and Power Attack. I did not add in +2 if flanking if it is avalible. I had been waiting for initiative, but I will post my Attacks now to help ARC keep combat flowing and it looks like Rutilux already went.

1d20 + 14 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 + 4 = 29
2d8 + 22 ⇒ (4, 4) + 22 = 30

Sounds like I am already engaged so second attack
1d20 + 9 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 + 4 = 28
2d8 + 22 ⇒ (8, 5) + 22 = 35

Bite
1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 4 = 20
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

More damage if he is cold based. Does Wintersbane's blade glow?

"Tell Wulfgaar, here is death as he seeks it! On Kodiak steel quenched in my own blood."

Jediah are you remembering destructive aura? That is +4 to your hits.

It is just +4 damage

Round One
Skall leaps into battle, emboldened by Zethyris' skill with the blade and the appearance of his god's spiritual avatar. The ghostly knight clad in spiked armor swings a glowing greatsword and attacks the half-wolf beast with abandon.

At Rutilux's warning, Skallangbiorn summons summons a divine purging of the obscuring magicks favored by their cowardly foes. Meanwhile, his spiritual ally continues to tear at the wolfman.

Jediah 7
Rutilux 6

Zethyris' skillful swordsmanship rapidly drops the werewolf before him but in defiance the werewolf takes one last swing with its hammer at the half-elf who takes the large warhammer straight in the chest (20 damage). Appearing out of nowhere, three more werewolves armed with great swords reveal their presence as they tear into the party, Skallangbiorn suffers a terrible gash across his side from one werewolf (19 damage) while Another's blade skips harmlessly off of the mighty Thorvald's armour. The third appears next to Rutilux as it stabs upwards with its own great sword just missing the gap beneath his breastplate but still tearing a vicious wound into his flesh(19 damage) before all three vanish immediately afterwards. Thorvald swings where the werewolf was standing but his blade finds only empty air. Skallangbiorn draws upon the the might of Gorum beseeching his lord to tear off the cowardly magics hiding these creatures from everyone's sight and a pulse of energy bursts forth from his person in a wide dome that stretches out forty feet away from him shattering the invisibility spells placed upon the four werewolves. Jediah steps slightly to bring the werewolf standing near Skallangbiorn into range and with a paired slash cuts two deep furrows in the werewolf's hide sending blood spattering everywhere. Rutilux's flail crashes down twice onto the now revealed werewolf beside him, battering bloody welts into its form. Anastasiya fires a salvo of force bolts at the werewolf attacking Skallangbiorn as well causing Several nasty burns.

Meanwhile...
Julien throws down a small pouch that bursts into a choking cloud causing one Worg to slump to the ground while the other bites Ineffectively as Julien pulls away a starts heading in the opposite direction.

"This bear bites back! You will trouble the true Ulfen people no longer shapeshifter!"

Zethyris rolls with the blow, managing to avoid having his chest staved in. He grits his teeth and ignores his complaining muscles, stepping to help kill the nearest werewolf.

Moving to a flanking position. 5-ft step if possible. If not, forfeit second iterative to tumble (currently sitting at +21 to tumble)

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 2 = 35 flanking

Round 3
Skallangbiorn's howl of rage at being struck turns to a bellow of bloody victory as his comrades tear into the werewolves. "Hide no more you cowardly dogs! Final death comes to satisfy your curse!"

The cleric aims to keep the momentum and directs his spiritual ally to maintain a flanking position with Zethyris. Then he roars a prayer for holy favor to Gorum and is a answered by divine healing for himself and his allies.

Glad to be of service, Zethyris!

Rutilux grunts as he's cut, "Down dog!"

(Round 3)
Rutilux is glad for the Gorumite's spell that reveals his foe and keeps hammering his flail on the one he's wounded

Zethyris moves over to assist Rutilux, diving under the wolf's guard and slashing Clarisse's sharp edge cleanly through its flesh. The wolves engaging Rutilux and Thorvald begin to move as if they are going to flee but with a slight spasm they turn back and continue the fight. The first one slashes again at Skallangbiorn tearing a gouge out of his armour and his side (18 damage) but its teeth find only open air as Skallangbiorn sidesteps the werewolf's bite. Thorvald manages, even in his blinding fury, to raise his shield as he deflects his own werewolf's blade and his steady arm beneath his new shield pushes it away before it can reach flesh. The third werewolf continues to assault Rutilux but is unable to connect through Rutilux's ironclad defence. The last werewolf descends upon Jediah suffering a defensive wound by the stone glaive that the giant warrior wields. Thorvald responds in kind slashing in quick succession but his second blow fails to strike true before lashing out and trying to tear the werewolf's throat out with his teeth/fangs. Skallangbiorn draws upon his internal reserves as he taps into Gorum's powers again, this time to revitalize and rebuild his allies, knitting wounds and plugging holes as he goes. Jediah repositions and stabs the wolf attacking him . His glaive tears new lines in the creatures already injured hide. Rutilux continues his frantic battle with the werewolf smashing wounds that have already begun to heal.

Anastasiya appears momentarily distracted as she stares at a seemingly empty piece of sky.

Not understanding why Ana gives pause, Skallangbiorn shouts upward. "Leave these mongrels to us! Fire the main tent, burn them alive!"

He brings his sword to bear on the nearest wolf, fighting alongside his Spiritual Ally.

Thorvald howls in bear like fury. The full force of Gorum runs through his blood as he doesn't just seek to kill his enemies, but obliterate them. The rage of his ancestors channel through him.

He has improved critical

"See this! See this oh lord in iron! I am your will made manifest!"

I suppose the crits had to run out eventually.

As he slashes and whirls, he shouts to his allies, "Did anyone notice that strange twitch in the werewolves? I don't think it coincided with them being hit." Looking away for a moment, he sees Ana staring into space. "Ana? Something wrong?"

I was hoping to learn what those auras are before declaring my action ... but since everybody else seems to be a round ahead of me by now, lets at least finish the previous round:

"Yes. I believe we've got company." Ana responds to Zethyris.

As if to prove her point, she casts an extended Glitterdust at the location in the sky she's been staring at (using the rod of extend).

spells remaining: 4th: 4/4; 3rd: 5/6; 2nd: 5/7; 1st: 5/8; extend 2/3
scrolls remaining: black tentacles, gaseous form, spider climb, fireball (7th)

(I'll declare next round's actions once I know what those auras are - and what shape gets outlined by the glitterdust.)

Noticing his regenerating foe, Rutilux admits, "A bit of silver would be nice, my flail is magical, but this thing still heals almost as fast as I inure it"

Rutilux's grip shifts slightly along his weapon, going for wider swings that may not have the same accuracy, but will hurt it more if connects.

To hit with Magic Flail: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Dmg if that hits: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Anastasiya hurls a handful of mystical energies that form into tiny motes light and dust that clings to the thin robed figure floating above the tent.

Zethyris continues to waylay the werewolf battling with Rutilux but the creatures hide is no match for Clarisse's enchanted Mithril blade that cuts and sears like pure silver. As the werewolf begins to collapse from the fatal wounds a bright red rune appears and flashes on the werewolf's back for a second before it explodes in a flash of fire and flames that engulf Zethyris, Rutilux, Sunfire, a second werewolf and Skallangbiorn (Zethyris take 14, Rutilux take 27, Sunfire take 14, and Skallangbiorn take 27 fire damage). From the sparkling entity a ray of energy and light bursts forth that flies towards Thorvald missing him by only an inch. The remaining three werewolves continue to attack slashing and biting at Skallangbiorn, Thorvald and Jediah but failing miserably on all accounts. Anastasiya targets the invisible spellcaster and attempts to peel away some of the magics surrounding her and manages to shatter the illusion spell hiding her appearance revealing The woman you encountered in the dwarven city. Thorvald tears into his own werewolf cutting it to pieces but triggering whatever effect caused the last explosion. The second inferno erupts catching Thorvald (18 damage), Rutilux (18 damage), Jediah (18 damage) and the werewolf he was battling. Skallangbiorn draws upon his gods energies and channels it into healing the party's wounds and burns (16 healed). Jediah continues to slash at the werewolf leaving lasting wounds that heal slowly. Rutilux moves to assist Skallangbiorn with his werewolf as he rides over and slashes away with his flail.

Ugh! There has to be a better way to beat these things down! Try knocking them out.

Wintersbane glows with healing energies after striking the critical blows, trickling some of its creators life energy back to him from within the metal.

"A good idea, but how?! Maybe Zeth and Rutilux should withdraw to the other tent, you and I can weather this storm."

Seeing that Thorvald isn't including old Skally in any of his reindeer games, he turns his attention to the newly appeared Glitterdusted being revealed by Ana's spell.

He moves into range to get it inside his Invisibility Purge, then sends a ray of Searing Light at the being. Hell also send his Spiritual Ally in for the kill.

Thovald sees what Jediah is doing. The big warrior drops Wintersbane into the snow. The Blackshield appears to fly off his shoulder and into his hands. Thorvald brings the shield down on his foe with two punishing blows seeking to knock him senseless.

"So we return to the beginning! The item of my namesake shall once again bring me vengeance and carry me through the day! Once we heel these dogs I can end them from a distance with silvered arrows."

"Sister! You didn't invite me to the family reunion! I hope you don't mind me coming anyway." Anastasiya taunts the other witch with mock friendliness. "I even brought some friends", pointing at the group below, "oh - and a present for you. Here, catch!"

She produces a small glowing red bead in her hand and throws it at the other witch.

Fireball damage: 8d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 1, 6, 1, 5, 6) = 31

Suddenly realizing the other witch might try to dispel her own fly spell, Anastasiya then rapidly descends.

Zethyris looks up at the floating witch, gritting his teeth. Nothing I can do about that now...

Delaying until after Thorvald and Jediah.

"Ugh! There has to be a better way to beat these things down! Try knocking them out."

"A good idea, but how?! Maybe Zeth and Rutilux should withdraw to the other tent, you and I can weather this storm."

"I'm not about to leave you alone with these things. I'll distract them with some bleeding - Clarise seems to cut through them with little trouble."

Zethyris steps to ensure he has a werewolf flanked, then stabs and slices with Clarise.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 = 27 flanking
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 + (4, 5, 1) + 4 = 28 sneak attack, destructive aura

Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + (1, 6, 2) + 4 = 28 sneak attack, destructive aura

Lethal damage, silver and magic.

The explosions burn and burn hot, Rutilux wonders, "A shame we can't launch these things via catapult and let them explode a distance away..."

Noting his bow has somehow survived, he guides Sunfire a bit away from the werewolves as they're engaged, and fires an arrow at the flying witch that just got fireballed by Ana, "On the other hand, while I'm not much of an archer, maybe my time would be better spent greeting Anastasia's less attractive sister."

Zethyris waits patiently for an opening. Anastasiya's sister cackles madly at the look of surprise on her sister's face. "Poor little Ana, couldn't stay away could you? Why don't your friends play with one of mine while we have a chat!" As she pulls something out of her clothes and hurls it to the ground where it shatters on the stones. Within seconds the ground begins hissing and cracking as steam and heat force their way out and the ground opens up into a flaming hole. Jagged spikes and chains vomit forth from the hole, flailing about and latching onto the edge as coiling, moving mass of chains pulls itself out of the ground and parts revealing a desiccated form wrapped in jagged and barbed chains wearing them like clothes. Jediah's werewolf manages to slip past his defences and lands an overhand chop that manages to find his soft flesh beneath his skin (17 damage before DR). The werewolf harassing Skallangbiorn batters away at his guard until he overpowers the priest and forces his blade past, slashing the meaty part of Skallangbiorn's thigh (15 damage). Overhead Anastasiya detonates a fiery inferno that engulfs her sister before descending to avoid any magical mishaps her sister may retaliate with. Thorvald lets Wintersbane clatter to the ground as he pulls his namesake shield off of his back and gripping it in both hands proceeds to smash the edge of the shield down in wide overhand chops that hammer and ring against the werewolf, battering it to the ground. Thorvald know that this is only a half measure though considering a were creatures incredible resilience and healing abilities. Skallangbiorn steps back from the werewolf and chanting to his god draws forth a ray of bright light that arcs towards Ana's sister that catches her shoulder and left arm while he summons his spectral great sword to strike at Her as well but it passes over her head. Jediah follows Throvald's advice as he batters his own werewolf with the massive, flat side of his glaive which slaps noisily against the tough hide of the werewolf. Zethyris, seeing his chance to strike, moves in to bring down Jediah's werewolf as he slashes deep into the werewolf's back killing it which causes it to explode in runes and flames that Zethryis avoids most of but catch Jediah full on (31 damage). Rutilux pulls back from unconscious werewolf and fires an arrow at the woman but the arrow rebounds harmlessly against a protective energy field.

Jediah glares at Zethyris and turns his weapon on the strange chain being

"I can see why that thing would be a friend of yours, sister. But can we stop this nonsense?"

If she believes the appearing chain creature is a magical effect that can be dispelled, she attempts to do so. If not, she instead attempts to dispel one more spell affecting her sister.

Julian continues to run.

Skall grits his teeth at the appearance of the planar ally and forces his will towards the witch, intent on ending the spell that had summoned it...or at least the spell still keeping the foul woman aloft.

➣ Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 (Break the Planar Ally spell or her fly spell) | DC 11+Spell's CL)

Thorvald retrieves his sword and prepares his bow with silvered arrows. He moves to a safe distance to finish off the last werewolf who is incapacitated, unless there are too many close by.

"I will finish him off. Get away from him!"

One more thing, just in case: if the burning pit turns out to be not a summoning spell but a silent image or similar harmless illusion, Ana will not waste her dispel on it - and will tell the others that it isn't real. (Plus she will make a joke about imaginary friends)

Rutilux frowns as his arrows turn out to be useless, and switches once more to lance, hoping it has the reach to strike the witch while avoiding the pit if he can

Charge:
+4 to hit, no AC penalty thanks to class. Dmg includes not just aura of destruction, but Sunfire's str mod thanks to Mounted Mastery again...and damage is double thanks to charge with lance.

"I will finish him off. Get away from him!"

Zethyris nods and backs away, switching his attention to the witch. He slips lithely around the creature she summoned to take a position opposite Jediah, then strikes.

Acrobatics(tumble): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 = 21 flanking
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (1, 3, 2) = 16 sneak attack. Add aura of destruction if it still applies.
Damage counts as mithral and magic.

"Nonsense? You're right this is nonsense. To think that you and your friends could stand in our way, ha!" She quickly tosses a burst of energy at Anastasiya that rips off Ana's highest level spell. [/b]"Soon Grandmother will arrive and this petty uprising will be crushed and then the whole world will be..Gack,"[/b] he sentence is broken as the head of an arrow blooms in her chest cutting her short. (Julien)"You've all been up here this whole time and still haven't finished her off? Looks like you need me to show you how it's done." a he steps out of the shadow of the tent. The werewolf on the ground twitches and begins to move slightly. The last remaining upright werewolf moves in again to stop Skallangbiorn from casting but this time can't connect. The monster of chains lashes out and spiked and sharp blades of chains slash and carve at those near enough to reach Ana takes 12 damage, Thorvald takes 7, Jediah takes13). Anastasiya seeing the flesh and blood monster and having no way to banish it so she hurls her own dispel at the witch that causes the glow around her ring to fizzle and vanish. Thorvald finishes off the downed werewolf before it can get back up causing an explosion that misses everyone. Skallangbiorn follows Ana's lead and attempts to strip the magic wards on the witch managing to strip off some form of defence. Jediah steps in slightly and slashes at the mound of chains in the form of a human managing to connect with his first strike but missing his second. Zethryis dives headlong towards the creature avoiding the first counter attack but suffers a long grating slash across his back (7 damage) as he closes in. His strike is true however and manages to find flesh between all the coils of chains. Unable to reach the witch Rutilux charges the monster burying his lance in its chest several feet deep.

you were able to tell that she didn't cast a spell to summon the creature! she used a magic item of some sort that released it from some form of containment which means it cannot be dispelled only banished to its home plane. The creature is an extra planar entity probably a demon or devil by appearances

Zethyris ducks under the flailing chains, and carves a pair of slashes into the fiend.

Attacks cause 3 bleed as well - I keep forgetting that.

Spell with highest caster level was Arcane sight, right? (cast by Ana herself, so CL8; versus Fly from the scroll which has the minimum CL for the spell, in other words CL5)

HP: 51/63

Anastasiya seems almost as surprised by the sudden appearance of Julian's arrow in the witch's chest. When she recognizes Julian she laughs and says approvingly: "You know how to introduce yourself to a lady."

She tries to get out of range of the chains (moving horizontally, not vertically). Then she addresses her sister again, this time in a serious tone:

"Say sister, shouldn't you be afraid what grandmother will do to you when she arrives? She won't be amused to see you failure to cope with us on your own ... for the second time now. A friendly advice: you should flee while you still can. If not from us then at least from her."

Then she fires a volley of force missiles at her sister.

missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Plus, I am running out of spells here, having to deal with you.
