A glowing ball of light appears near the invisible Grey. He speaks to it softly in it's native tongue.
"Thank you for answering my summons, celestial. We face bandits infected with Lycanthropy. Your aid in dispatching them is appreciated."
The ball of light zips down closer to the convulsing figures and fires of a pulse of golden energy.
Find the horned man. Grab him and kill him. Grey Whispers to the spider-thing.
The invisible horror ignores the arrows and rushes at the invisible man who shot it.
Grey began summoning again.
Many of the bandits simply fall over at Anglon's prayer, Lissala's power rendering them unconcious.
Simon's line of fire rolls over three of the bandits, incinerating one.
The Archers, already heavily injured by the incoming zombee attacks, fall out of sight into Ronald's Pit.
The Lantern Archon shoots at one of the burning figures, though its damage is dwarfed by Simon's it does have an effect.
The Grey Horror pounces to the top of a building, apparently engaged in furious combat with... nothing at all.
Good point; miss chance 50%.
Take the damage as if you made the per roll (no sneak attack, which I somehow got wrong anyway).
Grapple's going to work - he is denied dex. Spider is now visible, right?
Auchs = 25 dam
Akiros = 29 dam
Dovan = 4 damage

In the yard, the terrible spider-thing appears from nowhere, gnashing and bearing down on something unseen.
Forsten stretches as he feels Lissala's blessing settle around him. The fools had been given their chance to join them, and now they would feel the consequences of their actions. He moves forward, ducking beneath the gate as he moves inside, pausing to take in the situation. With a flourish he brings his fearsome weapon to bear, the weapon seeming to pulse in his hand, before it lashes out at the bandit leader whom had escaped the kind runelord's wrath. Forsten reappears as his blade darts forward, seeking to impale the quaking bandit.
Rolling her eyes dismissively at the lycanthropic bandits, Valerianna instead turns her attention to the grey horror and its unseen foe. Drawing a scroll, she brings its magic to bear and a moment later golden particles of light explode in the air around the horror, blanketing it and its foe in shimmering light.

The Horror glitters prettily.
Forsten's target simply vanishes, ripped asunder by Kyton's spine... the red mist burned to nothing by Simon's fire.
As the horror glitters a smaller, unseen figure can be seen also glittering - and the outline of antlers suggest this is the dreaded ! He appears to be grappled

One of the bandits rolls behind cover, still convulsing. Another shifts into a mighty wolf-man! Bellowing it rolls out from Simon's fire.
Meanwhile the 'invisible' Stag Lord attempts to escape the Grey Horror's embrace. Twisting in ways no human should be able to do somehow he slips free. Running over the horror he runs, leaps the rail - and the wall!
"Stop right there!" Anglon shouts at the Stag Lord and hopes that his spell finally works.
Forsten's attention remains focused on the bandits in front of him, only briefly glancing at the glittering figure as it leaps over the wall. He would have to dispatch these ones quickly so he could give that threat his proper attention.
The foremost bandit quickly draws him back to the current fight as his body twists and swells transforming into a mighty beast to rival his own enhanced size.
Taking a step forward Forsten's blade shrinks, freeing a hand to inscribe runes in the air in front of him as he chants in the long dead language of the Runelords. The were-bandit's attacks cause his words to falter, but a flash of light from the rune orbiting his head distracts his foe momentarily and he recovers. As he shouts the last symbol electricity crackles and sparks from his hand to his blade. Kyton's blade seems small as he grips it in two hands again and lashes out with the ebony blade.
With a sudden flash of movement a burst of wind that ripples out beneath her, Valerianna pumps her stony wings once, then twice, as she streaks through the air and over the Stag Lord's head, landing just on the far side of the man with inhuman speed. Whirling back around, she brings her glaive to bear against the horned bandit leader, first with a savage strike and then again, the second swing crackling with magical power as the rune orbiting her brow flares brightly. "You had your chance to surrender, cur. You should have taken it!"

Waves of flame continue to pour off of Simons outstretched hand. He shifts his hand slightly and the flames envelop the big bandit and bandit leader.
"I have this in hand. Get the Stag Lord. " Simon says calmly with a slightly psychotic look in his eye as he watches his flames.
Seeing an opportunity to end this farce quickly, Ronald's eyes glow brightly before erupting in a blast of scorching fire.
Mythic Scorching Ray, touch, fire damage
Another Lantern Archon shifts into the prime material plane. A few words from Grey and it joins it's fellow in helping Simon put down the lycanthropes.
Grey throws a handfull of gravel into the air. Boulders rain down thdding into the Stag Lord and ruining the ground in front of him.
The Grey Horror skitters up the wall and lunges forward with it's hideous pincers, grabbing the stag lord and hauling him back upward, into the air to the top of the wall where the Horror perched, slamming him down into the wall over and over while pumping poison into his body.
Grey: Grapple is a standard action; full round won't help. Unless I'm
Forsten's first blow destroys his target, the wolf's corpse charring into ash in the lighting strike. His second passes harmlessly through the space he used to be.
Simon's fire splashes towards the remaining bandit leader, cowering behind the wall. While the wall is heated red hot the bandit manages to somehow take cover. While he hides from the fire the lantern archons above him bathe him in holy light.
At Anglon's words the Stag Lord freezes. Valerianna's, Rolands's, the Horror's and Grey's attacks all hit home. It seems impossible that his body could survive; but it does. The Grey Horror reaches out and snags him just as the first corpse-hands come out of the ground.

Anglon beams with delight that he finally used hold person successfully.
The remaining bandit leader, almost dead, runs under cover, and a second later there is a loud clang
Rushing out from some unseen pen under the building 8 owlbears - apparently two parents and eight near-grown juveniles - come rushing out, filling the area and roaring.
Meanwhile where the Stag Lord had fallen four corpse-things emerge from the ground, appearing with lightning speed.

"Tsk. This is becoming tedious. Witness the power of LISSALA!" She fades back a step and then explodes in a blur of motion as she strikes out with her glaive, the rune orbiting her brow flaring brightly once again.

Ronald's rune glows brightly as he pronounces a single word of magic.
"Gelid," he utters as wisps of cold fog seep up and surround the owlbears.

Meanwhile where the Stag Lord had fallen four corpse-things emerge from the ground, appearing with lightning speed.
Grey looked down at the undead and smiled beneath his mask.
He lifted a hand gently, exerting his will over the rising corpse creatures.
You will serve.
Convinced that Grey and Valerianna have a firm grasp on the undead, Anglon moves to engage the owlbears.
Many things happen at once, he is about to turn and join Valerianna with the Stag Lord when a family of owlbears emerges hooting and snarling into the light, as he hears the grey horror dealing with something. He catches a glimpse of horns before turning back to the new foes. "He is being dealt with it seems..." he replies, glancing at Anglon as he joins them.
With a speed bolstered by Lisalla and magic Forsten lashes out again, slicing down the closest owlbear before stepping forward and lashing out again, rune pulsing gently.
Not zombies, not skeletons. The lights in their eyes are too bright, and the way they seem to be defending an area... like some sort of crypt-thing, one of the ancient guardians sometimes posted on burial crypts. Those can teleport.
Crpyt Things, unless you miss your mark. One of the books you read talked about their creation. Fiendishly difficult, but effective. Crypt things are hard to kill, and masters of teleportation within their assigned areas.
