"Oh! Oh! Are we gon'a go chase 'em!" Sunny acrobatically tumbles to her feet and bounces up and down in preparation to commencing the chase. (^_^)
The Mayor Doyle attacked by Zed, winks out of existence as it is struck.
The force bubble fades as well.
"Are we gona'a chase 'em?" Sunny asks.
"Don't wait on me, I can heal myself.... get after those foes if you can!"
At Varian's urging Sunny nods and races off after the figure fleeing to the South-east.
The Mayor Doyle struck by Lyrralt disappears. Corum's prepared arcane bolts fly from his hand, and veer to intercept the two remaining Mayor Doyles (westbound, and southeast one Sunny had just started to pursue)... Both poof when struck, which leaves no visible Mayors.
"If you be fast chase down who you can lass, I'm slow so I'll go after the stranglers." With that he throws an entangle bag at ugo in D 60.
Throw: ranged touch
Entangled and if he fails a reflex DC 16 he's stuck to that spot.
For rounds.
The tanglefoot bag lands a few feet short of the fleeing creature.
Varian moves forty feet to the southeast, chasing after the creatures, and casts cure moderate wounds on himself.
Lyrralt will charge the one to the southeast, maintaining his inspire courage as a free action and activating arcane strike as a swift action.
Sunny slows to a halt and looks around...
"Now where'd tha' little Dicken's get too..." She begins searching for signs of some one sneaking, creeping away.
And failing to see anything, she'll scoot over and pick up her bundle. (^_^)
The enlarged creature turns and swings at charging Lyrralt, but moves far too slowly... and receives a small wound below the arm from the rapier.
Perc
You notice an unmoving outline and imprint of a prone body in the conjured grease.
Zed looks at the surroundings as if searching for the Mayor "Oh well played indeed" he strolls over to the others, passing the grease, and he pauses "Now that's a good one" he turns and points his morningstar down at the outline "Now stand up or I'll light the grease"
Sunny ambles over, wrapped bundle over her shoulders, and peers at what it is that Zed's found out.
The enlarged creature swings again trying to swat Lyrralt away. Then realizing the Mayor's arcane ruse has failed, it turns to face him and howls something... presumably in their native tongue.
The other two stop fleeing as well, and charge. One goes tries to plow into Sunny ... one tries to slip between her and Braxton to get to the invisible but located Mayor.
Sunny receives a stinging slap from the charging creature.
Zed's hand glows red and he holds is threateningly while he faces the creatures "You think I won't do it? I'll burn him to a crisp"
Bluff
Braxton snarls at the Ugos and charges at one(G,51).
Sunny gives a 'Yipe' and bounces up straight, startled by the creature's behavior.
"Hey! Watch tha' hands! Watch tha' HANDS!" She calls, then carefully puts her bundle down since the fight seems to be resuming.
Lyrralt bounces and dances around with a flourish and a smile, obviously enjoying the tangle with the creature.
"These things have an odor that is much more powerful than their fighting prowess! Ha! Missed again you oaf! Varian, finish this brute off please, his stench is nauseating!"
Varian moves up on the large creature - flanking with Lyrralt if his dancing around put him in flanking position - and strikes
With the knowledge that her bundle is safe, Sunny skips over and stands beside Zed who seems to have changed the weird critters behavior.
The blond human who had been trapped within the bubble reaches down and retrieves Mayor Doyle's cane. The nearby ugothol gives off a gurgling hiss. With cane in hand, he says "I think this is what it wants." He turns to Braxton, the enlarged human... "Sorry friend... I have to go now, or I'll be late... seven times over. Don't let Sirius get a hold of this." He drops part of his pack, looks at the shaft of the cane, then begins chanting while tossing it to Braxton. The moment he lets go, he disappears.
The mayor becomes visible lying motionless in the now de-materializing grease.
Lyrralt steps into flanking position with Varian and attempts to pierce the creature's resilient hide.
Seeing the Mayor in no condition to fight or even move, Zed draws his longsword and sprints over to help Lyrralt and Varian with their struggle
Charge Att

Corum looks for any active resistance. If any are still resisting, he grabs his pearl and activates his hail of magic bolts again.
The ugothol near the fallen mayor turns its body toward Sunny. Small pale green and orange pieces swirl violently in the black underneath the creature's clear glossy skin... like some manifestation of rage.
Corum's arcane bolts 'thap' into its body before it is able swing at Sunny.
Zed's sword tears into the enlarged ugothol, who had been using its long arms to deflect... denying both Lyrralt and Varian a clean leveraged strike. Dark fluid and fibrous clumps empty from the wound onto the ground as it crumples.
The creature just struck by Corum's force missiles , whips its arms around Sunny and drives her back toward the other. The second ugothol tries to smack and grab her, while the first moves in closer to Braxton... its tendril-like fingers wriggling hungrily for the cane.
Sunny regains her balance quickly enough to hop over the right hand slap, but lands straight into the the left hand. It wraps around her waist and squeezes.
"Urk!" Is Sunny's reply as she's picked up and carried towards every one else.
"What are you little buggers trying to do!" With that he smashes the closest one.
Power Crowbar strike:
Damage:
"Squish.....me...." Sunny manages to say...
After tossing Sunny to the other creature the ugothol advances into Braxton's swing. It "folds" over backwards from the impact, and falls broken on the ground.
Varian charges toward the last remaining creature but because he has to go around a large dead body, all he can do is approach the creature threateningly this round...
"Drop the girl, you ugly freak."
Sunny attempts to poke the ugly fekker,
Zed begins watching the girls wounds, then raises his left hand and runs over to her "Heila" and lets the soothing magic roll over her
CLW
"AAWW, I FEEL BAD I GOTTA PRY YOU LOVE BIRDS APART!" With that Braxton moves in smashes the creature with his crowbar.
Lyrralt quickly moves over to the remaining nasty. Flanking if possible.
Corum has used up his spells.
He moves forward to identify the magic on the cane after casting a cantrip to detect magic auras.
The cane is extremely heavy. You see no aura at first, until you turn it in your hand. The item's dwoemer is shielded apart from along the shaft... The bright blue glow - visible due to your arcane sight, passes through in the form of symbols. As your eyes adjust, you can read the words "Celeriton Key". Other than probably having to do with speed, you are unfamiliar with what you might assume is a proper noun... the name of something or somewhere.
If the last creature is still up, Varian will take a swing at it.
Lyrralt's rapier spears and torques the ugothols arm... allowing a clean thump from Varian. The creature is slow to recover, and feebly attempts to pull Sunny closer to shield himself. She is able to dig her heels in long enough for Braxton to finish the last foe standing with a hard slam.
