Derrik revels in the empowering effect his weapons give him and the swiftness that evil falls before the FO's combined effort; They had come a long way. Seeing more lackeys spring from the room, he extends Excalibur in an almost lance like thrust as he Charges another of the Thralls, Trying to bring the man down with a deft strike and overpowering blow.
[dice= Powerful Charging Excalibur] 1d20+12;1d8+12+2d6
Excalibur slides through trench coat, Kevlar vest, flesh, and bone, speeding along the death of the evil submariner targeted by Dwayne, Krar, and Koran in quick succession! The crewmate falls dead!
The remaining three crewmates fire at The FOs....
Submachine gun deals 4 damage: 2 to Kate, 2 to Derrik....
Submachine gun misses Krar....
Submachine gun deals 3 damage to Koran....
if koran doesn't have to run yet he uses wild fighting instead.
assuming a 26 still hits just subtract 6 from korans first attack and he swings at another one as well.

You are on the street approaching The Oriental Saloon, initially about 120 ft away from the scarecrows in the street in front of the saloon....
In the second round of tactical movement, you are about 60 ft away, and the scarecrows begin to get a bit twitchy....
Levinson looks suspiciously at the scarecrows. She knows vaguely of their aura because of her idiotic attempt at scouting. But is now racking her brain for more info on these creatures.
She turns to her comrades in arms, "Do we have to fight this guy? Maybe we could... I dunno, have a nice chat instead?"

Levinson knows of golems from her work with Kabbalah, and figures the scarecrows are similar, plus the lantern archon mentioned a fascinating gaze....
Initiative for Cobb and Haystack....
Levinson!
Coal Withers!
Mister Leng!
Kepler!
Reba!
Scarecrows!
Eagle-Feather!
Greg!
Kitty!
Eeeeek! Eeeeek!
Levinson casts Mage Armor on Kepler boosting his AC by 4. (Net of +3 after the size penalty). She sticks quite close to the lumbering creature.
The various NPCs do much the same this round as they did last round (in effect, nothing), except for the two scarecrows, which move to stand in such a way as to ward passage into the saloon, and the fiery light in their carved-out jack-o-lantern eyeholes flickers fitfully....
Perception check to notice Yingzen at 90 ft away fails....

Daisy points at the scarecrows.
Um.... Go eat those scarecrows, ant....
She holds advances to about 70 ft away from the scarecrows, great ceremonial war shield held out in front of her....
The giant ant scurries up to Cobb, the scarecrow on the party's left, as a move action, and bites for 3 piercing damage! There is a wooden crunching as the giant prehistoric ant's mandibles clamp down on the scarecrow's largely wooden and straw frame....
Now at 60 ft from either scarecrow, not close enough for a charge in his heavy tactical armor, Greg drops his double axe as a free action, takes his masterwork composite longbow off his back as a move action, and fires a shot at Cobb.... ....missing!
Kate scans her boys to see if anyone looks badly wounded, and sees that no one is in serious condition, but a few of the hand-to-hand warriors would probably appreciate a channel to bolster them against....who can predict what might "explode" on the scene?
Channel heals everyone of damage....
I've only got one more of those today, boys.... Make it last!
Naomi casts Shield on Kepler and his AC is now 25. (18+4+4-1)
Kepler moves within 20 ft of the scarecrows (edge of his reach in large form).
Cobb stares at Kepler, jack-o-lantern eyes flickering hypnotically....
Will save DC 14 from Kepler to avoid becoming fascinated....
Haystack also gazes upon Kepler, eyes blazing, dancing in irresistible patterns....
Will DC 14 from Kepler to avoid becoming fascinated....
Eagle-Feather's giant ant snaps its mandibles.... ....establishing itself as the major threat to the scarecrow so far with 8 damage!
"Oh you freaking shlemeil... Just wonderful."
[dice=Will]1d20+4
"Oh you freaking shlemeil... Just wonderful."
Kepler apparently likes the pretty lights in the jack-o-lantern heads of the scarecrows....
He stands, large hawk-like eyes reflecting the hypnotic dancing flames, and makes a sedated hooting sound....
Bear-Strong fires another arrow at Cobb, at -4 penalty for firing into melee (the giant ant is an ally, after all) ....another wide shot....the arrow sticks in the wooden exterior wall of the saloon....
C'mon, Bear-Strong, you suck!
Shut up, b+@++, I know.... I wanna chop these pumpkin-headed mofos up with my double axe, but this seems safest for now....
Levinson uses a standard action to snap her outsider out of its reverie.
Kepler uses the full round for a power attack on Haystack with all four arms ripping and shredding desperately like a child unwrapping the first present of Chanukah.

Only Kepler's first attack deals damage, but it is a mighty rend, and straws of hay fly wildly out of the scarecrow as if it were spurting straw blood....
Flailing madly with broomstick arms at the giant ant gnawing on its torso....
Slam misses....
Slam thumps the giant ant on the cranium....
Lunging forward to engage Keplar, drawing an AoO from the eidolon's superior reach....
Slam buffets the magically armored eidolon harmlessly!
Giant ant bites at Cobb , crunching the broomstick legs!
Hey, Bear-Strong, while your shooting your little arrows at the wall over there, my giant ant is kicking some scarecrow ass!
C'mon, dammit.... Hit....
Masterwork composite longbow deals 7 piercing damage to Cobb!
Yes!! In your stupid face, Eagle-Feather, I got 'im!
Levinson casts Guidance on Kepler.
Kepler continues his frenzy:

Kepler rips Haystack asunder with a loud ripping sound and an explosion of straw and grass stuffing! The fire in its jack-o-lantern head snuffs out forevermore.
Sorry, Yingzen, forgot to put you on top of initiative order....
Me bad monkey! Eeeeek!
Cobb continues to flail its broomstick arms at the giant ant trying to tear out its stuffing....

Both misses!
The feeble Nazi gunfire slams into Derrik's armor but simply fail to prevent his advance, the last assault relieving him of Radsworth's necromantic protections and a shining light issuing forth from Dawnbringer, Excalibur and Armor alike as if relieved the shroud was gone; he gives them no time to breath nor figure what this effect may be as He seeks to behead another Fel-Soldier with a powerful back-swing from Dawnbringer and then a cleaving strike from Excalibur.
Eagle-Feather casts her 3rd level feather sub domain spell, fly, and takes to the air, ascending 30 ft!
I want to fly like an eagle.... To the sea.... she sings....
The giant ant continues its assault on Cobb....
Bite misses....
Greg picks up his double axe and moves up 20 ft.... He is now 40 ft from Cobb....

The Nazi ducks back out of Dawnbringer's path, but cannot evade Excalibur's follow-up slash, and his shoulder is laid open to the red, glistening deeper muscle, a spray of blood and a scream accompanying the blow!
In this round, Grimm opens the valve on the propane tank and lights an oil-soaked strip of cloth....
AR-15 at 20 ft range damage to the same Nazi Derrik just hacked with Excalibur! The man screams again, but still stands....
I do declare.... They are making a racket out there.... Maybe you ought to see what's happening, ladies.... And I use the term very loosely in this case, Reba and Kitty....
Reba snorts at the notion of being a lady, and struts toward the door, obscenely tattooed wings flapping lazily....
Kitty shrugs, grinning wickedly, and springs to her four lion-like feet, padding with predatory grace after Reba....
Would you care for another glass of whiskey, New Boss?
Mister Leng hoists a bottle of Wild Turkey from behind the bar and a glass.
Oh, why not, Mister Leng? I believe Reba and Kitty will make short work of our uninvited guests.... Then we shall see what they drag in for breakfast, yes?
The Nazis must reload this round.... They step back 5 ft, closer to the doorway they came through (the doorway to the room where Grimm has just lit a strip of oiled cloth....), pull out fresh clips, and load them into their submachine guns....
