Mephos chants strange words as koran doubles in size.
Koran now towers well more than twice the height of a normal man, and his earth breaker takes on truly terrifying proportions....
Derrik Roars a chant Holy light descending upon him as shields form as inscriptions upon his magically runed armor and Light shines for from within-outward as he moves into the Enemies East of the canal.. ALL of them.. 20ft
" Come! you are dirt beneath my feet for you serve a monster and deserve to be punished for your very existence! "
Radsworth considers the .. thing.. the Slime Shrouded Master. He observes it's movements, it's aura, it's demeanor... and considers what he might have learned about this sort of beast in his studies.
Even as he considers the creature, he invokes the foul gutteral language of necromancy, enhancing a round inside of Traveler. As the bullet leaves the chamber, it leaves a black smokey trail behind it.

Even as he considers the creature, he invokes the foul gutteral language of necromancy, enhancing a round inside of Traveler. As the bullet leaves the chamber, it leaves a black smokey trail behind it.
Radsworth feels a sense of dread wash over him as he considers the slimy horror half-emerged from the canal, and a terrible word comes to his mind--aboleth. According to ancient grimoires he has perused, aboleths are an ancient race of evil aquatic aberrations of great intelligence and malign nature, whose foul experiments have led to the creation of various other aberration races--among them, these skum, sinspawn, and faceless stalkers the team has been fighting....
As the magic bullet strikes the aboleth, it hisses and twitches....
Radsworth, make a Will save please....
Yikes! WTF is that thing in the canal!?
Captain Kermit raises his Glock 9mm and fires at hideous fish-like monster emerging from the canal from 60 ft away.... to confirm .... The bullet rips into the thing, which twitches and hisses....
Will save
Bullseye, beeyatch!!!
WHERE ARE THE GIRLS, YOU UGLY, SICK SACKS OF S$~&!?
Kate takes a full defensive stance (+2 to AC for -4 to attack rolls), staff held out in front of her with both hands, ready to block attacks....
Kate also touches Koran on the back and casts protection from evil on him: +2 deflection to AC and +2 resistance on saves against attacks or effects made by evil creatures.
Koran!
Then Krar!
Then round 2!
EEEEEEEEKS!!!!
Krar runs through the group of baddies provoking three attacks. raging.

Krar dashes 70 ft up to the line of skums and sinspawns, veers right and moves another ten ft, which indeed provokes three AoOs--two from skum and one from a sinspawn....
wild fighting
AoO with trident on Krar.... ....a miss, to which Krar responds with an immediate panther-hand strike, tearing scaly flesh from the skum's face....
AoO with trident on Krar.... ....another miss, punished by Krar with a brutal elbow to the skum's mouth that shatters several sharp teeth!
AoO on Krar with a bite.... ....if 21 hits Krar, he is bitten for 5 piercing damage and must make a DC 12 Will save or be sickened minutes.... Krar reacts with an immediate panther-hand strike to the sinspawn's throat!

Koran charges 50 ft forward, bringing him 10 ft from the line of 6 skum and 2 sinspawn guarding the bridge, and with a wild swing of his massive earth breaker, sweeps the heads of two skum off their shoulders with a wet, sickening, double-crunch sound!
(I believe Koran would have to charge in order to reach the enemies, so consider his AC accordingly....)
ROUND DOS!!
Grimm!
Faceless stalkers!
Kate!
The Slime-Shrouded Master!
Dwayne Lee!
Skum!
Mephos!
Sinspawn!
Derrik!
Radsworth!
Cpt Kermit!
Koran!

Oooh-ooh-aah!!!
After Grimm:
The four faceless stalkers rush across the bridge, two stepping over the headless bodies of the two skum Koran just dropped to fill the gap, the other two pushing through the line to engage, and drawing AoOs from Koran and Krar....
The two filling the gap strike out at Koran with longswords wielded by disproportionately long, gangly arms....
A deep gash is opened on Koran's thigh for 7 slashing damage!
to confirm The second stalker slices open the other thigh, close to the femoral artery! Another 17 slashing damage to Koran!
The two stalkers that pushed through, provoking attacks from Koran and Krar, both turn their attentions to Krar, raising their longswords and closing the last ten ft of distance (double moved)....
Kate steps over to Dwayne Lee Hooker, touches his shoulder, and casts protection from evil on him.
May the Mother guard you from evil, Dwayne Lee!
Derrik Unleashes Holy might upon a creature His axe glowing with the same light his armor did not long ago. Cutting into flesh with little regard for their defenses.
The Slime-Shrouded Master sees the raging giant storm to the bridge and knock the heads off two skum with a wild swing of his massive hammer, and perceives a deadly threat that must be turned against its allies.... It casts dominate monster on Koran, who must succeed on a DC 22 Will save or be dominated!
Derrik Unleashes Holy might upon a creature [dice=Destructive Dawnbringer]1d20 + 6; 1d8 + 5 His axe glowing with the same light his armor did not long ago. Cutting into flesh with little regard for their defenses.
Because he begins his turn 40 ft away from the line of monsters guarding the bridge, Derrik must charge to attack, so consider his AC accordingly....
Derrik charges a faceless stalker, hacking deeply into its rubbery flesh with Dawnbringer!
AoO

The faceless stalker parries with its sword....

Koran's earth breaker thumps the faceless stalker as it pushes past a skum; the stalker groans painfully at the blow!
Koran DC 22 Will save, please, or be dominated (not that Kate's protection from evil will allow you to be commanded anyways, but just for technicality and to keep all legit....)
Dwayne Lee winks at Kate and strides 30 ft closer to the bridge, aiming at a faceless stalker engaging Koran....
AR-15 at Point Blank Shot range with Precise Shot
Eat lead, you dick-faced, Gumby m#$%&+-f#**+&!!

One of the faceless stalkers slashing at Koran jerks as DL's bullet rips into its shoulder!
OWW!!....Dick-faced? That's mean....
Four skum remain, two engaging Derrik....
Trident ....claw ....bite .... All absorbed by Derrik's holy armor!
Trident ....claw to confirm crit ....bite .... Derrik is clawed for 4 slashing damage!
The other two attack Krar....

After Mephos:
The dozing sinspawn attempts a Fort save to shake off the sleep poison........and succeeds! It groggily shakes its head and tries to rise to its feet, provoking AoO from Derrik and Koran (who has 10-ft reach while enlarged)....
The other standing at the bridge assaults Derrik....
Bite
Claw
Claw
....but his armor protects him from their attacks!
The four sinspawn that came out of Kilwin's Chocolates rush onto the bridge to bolster their fellows, but cannot push past now that Derrik, Koran, and Krar have formed a line of their own at the bridge....
Derrik swings his axe Down upon the Sinspawn as it gets up.. previous rage from those who killed Kinyama, pumping through his veins. Sure this was one of the foul things that assisted.
Righteous might guiding his axe into a soft spot...
" THIS IS FOR KINYAMA.. AND EVERY INNOCENT YOU HAVE FEASTED UPON! "

After Radsworth:
Kermit hops up 30 ft and continues to fire on the slimy fish-like monstrosity in the canal!
Glock 9mm from 35 ft away deals piercing to The SSM....

Then round 3! Eek-eek!
Grimm reloads the chamber of his rifle with another venom-riddled round to fire into the giant fishface.
Mephos raises his hand and a ray of fire shoots forth scorching a sinspawn. as he does so his tattoo leaps from his arm and lands next to him.

Radsworth!
Krar!
Then round 3!!
Squeak-eeeeek-eek!!
Hearing Kermits proclamation of Illusion, Rad decided to believe the frog-man. Reluctantly, he turns his back on the creature and aims Traveler for the largest grouping of foes he can target.
Another bullet is charged with energy, this time fueled by the harsh rolling consonants of the language of dragons.

Radsworth's burning hands bullet catches 3 sinspawn and a skum just south of Krar, on the sea wall of the canal right before the illusionary aboleth!

Dig it!?
Krar stands to the right of enlarged Koran, with a faceless stalker at 10-o' clock, a sinspawn straight ahead, at 2-o' clock, and to his right, and another sinspawn and skum 10 ft to the south, six foes total (four of which are soot-blackened by Radsworth's burning hands a second ago), all of which he could conceivably provoke AoOs from, by moving as little as 25 ft....
Oh my.... You brought to my attention the fact that the other 3 faceless stalkers could also make AoOs against Krar when he leaves the square he is currently in due to their 10-ft reach....
Tread carefully, Krar, that's a lot of potential AoOs from your current position! 7 from the square you are in....
