Blink shrugged. "A drop of some toxins can kill dozens. The question is more do we have any, or could we make them, and I suspect the answer to that is no. But we might be able to brew something to dim there wits and make them less dangerous?" She looked at the Elf again.
Yridhrennor thinks a wit-dimming poison would be possible, given enough time, but it wouldn't take a lot of brains to run away from the tower and let the chain do its work and such massive beasts would be hard to drug all the same. Given a day or two he could cook something, but he can't promise it would do the job.
"Probably not worth it then," Blink shook her head. "I'm out of ideas. I fear this is an 'attack the creatures keepers and hope' situation." The Gods rarely helped out in such, sadly.
Theran cocks his head. "They are tight in there. I could use a fireball before I get into a battle-frenzy."
"You can do that? Of course, a fireball would be a great start." Steave replies.
Can somebody cast haste? Or can we get a scroll of it? That would help us get into position, and help us not die when we're surrounded.

Please give us a number of rounds to prepare.
Thanks
The crusaders set to preparing themselves. One by one, Yridhrennor cast each save Blink into invisibility. She took two spells from Theran and slipped off, darting silently across the bridge to a safe spot where she summoned an air elemental. Steave invoked the Heavens. Galin called on his blessings. Yridhrennor cast a final spell and the crusaders blurred with speed as Blink and her elemental skulked into position...and then the moment came with the whole of the bridge unawares.
always acts in surprise
The haste was Y's surprise action.
Steave whispers that he's going left and moves up with haste.
Galin takes aim at the nearest guard on the bridge, an arrow seemingly coming out of thin air and taking the man in his chest,
Theran moves up and hurls a blast of fire engulfing three of the beasts and some of the handlers. This of course makes him visible, and definitely a target.
Blink and her Elemental aide snuck into position around the giant beast. It was sad to see such a creature corrupted, but then, almost everything the Demons touched ended that way. The best way to finish the creatures was quickly and quietly.
As the Elemental attacked, Blink attacked as well from the opposite side, hoping to catch it off guard and strike it down.
Yridhrennor cast a spell and rose up off the ground while Galin takes aim at the nearest guard on the bridge, an arrow seemingly coming out of thin air and taking the man in his chest. He was dead before he hit the ground.
Blink and her Elemental aide snuck into position around the giant beast. It was sad to see such a creature corrupted, but then, almost everything the Demons touched ended that way. The best way to finish the creatures was quickly and quietly. The elemental struck first, making contact but causing no visible harm.
As the Elemental attacked, Blink attacked as well from the opposite side, hoping to catch it off guard and strike it down. She slew it with two blows.
Steave whispers that he's going left and moves up with haste abetted by Yridhrennor's spell-speed.
Theran moves up and hurls a blast of fire engulfing three of the beasts and some of the handlers. This of course makes him visible, and definitely a target. Not that the handlers slain by his fireball, five in all, much cared at that point. Even one of the beasts looked badly hurt.
Yridhrennor spoke a second spell and two creatures of roiling stone and earth rose from the bridge. Both struck at the beasts, one delivering a sound blow to the one already badly hurt.
DR eats the elemental's slam...not that it mattered a whole lot.
Theran's fireball catches the 3 surviving beasts and 5 tiefs.
For the top of round 1, Y summons small earth elementals.

Galin fires three arrows at the guard closest to Theran, .
Steave draws his cold iron longsword and steps between the monsters. He slashes one deep, but his backslash glances off the other's hide.
Blink hoped the animal would find more peace now...but so would she if they collapsed this damned bridge with her on it. She moved to the next, calling to the Elemental to stand guard while she attacked, given it's woeful lack of success last time. Instead, she once more used Shadow Veil to move in and strike at the second.
Yridhrennor directs his elementals to continue their assaults while he blows sand at the unharmed beast.
Yridhrennor's earth elementals pressed the attack, one battering a beast while the other flailed against its hide.
Galin fires three arrows at the guard closest to Theran. His arrows slew one of the tieflings and dispatched the most wounded of the surviving beasts.

Steave draws his cold iron longsword and steps between the monsters. He slashes one deep, but his backslash glances off the other's hide. Even with just the one strike, he nearly dispatched the roaring beast.
The last tiefling stepped up to Theran and slashed at him, barely scratching his skin. The last beast roared in pain and bolted right into Blink's waiting blade. It died there before pulling its chain tight.
An abyss-touched man flew from inside one of the bridge's towers, glowing with magic and orbited by a floating disk. He spoke the words of a spell and for an instant the spell-speed Yridhrennor granted the party lessened, before reasserting itself. Snarling, he rushed through a second spell and four burning arrows raced through the air and pierced the elf.
So we have...one beast and one cultist.

Aaaaaaand here's the new guy! Trying some new stuff with him. He has two hp bars. As long as he has some hp in both, he gets two actions a round. He uses the first one to fly up into view, about 40 feet up, and throws a dispel on the haste effect.
nope
Action 2: Magic missiles for Y.
Galin shuffles forward as he aims his next arrows at the last remaining beast,
The tiefling in front of them was a minor threat. He could be dealt with later. He steps aside and hurls another fireball up above the mage to help deal with him and bring him down.
Bliss looked at the flying man, and his ability to cast two spells, as a major danger. With most of the animals down or dying, she decided to join Theran in magically hammering the flying creature.
The tiefling in front of them was a minor threat. He could be dealt with later. He steps aside and hurls another fireball up above the mage to help deal with him and bring him down. The flames engulfed the flying man and he emerged trailing fire, though not quite so harmed as Theran hoped.
Yridhrennor blew sand at the flying man. His magic carried it straight to the other arcanist's eyes, but the elf felt his spell slide easily off its target.
Galin shuffles forward as he aims his next arrows at the flying man. His first arrow fell short, but the other two struck squarely. Magic flashed about where they hit, blunting the hits but visibly spending part of itself in the process.

Steave saw a man in the air and knew just what to do. He rushed forward and hurled his shield with all his might. Like Galin's arrows, it struck the warding and spent some of its force before piercing abyss-touched flesh.
The flying man hurled twin gouts of flame that badly burned Blink, then wheeled on Theran and made a rending motion with his hands as he chanted. The bridge beneath the last of Clan Silverlight gave way, plunging him into a deep pit lined with rough rock. At the bottom, he splashed into a pool of searing acid.
The surviving tiefling, seeing all eyes turned to the sorcerer, ran for his life.
ow. 28 reduced to 23 courtesy of resistance.
No effect on the sleep spell.
21 after resist

Bad guy! Scorching ray for Blink
And Acid Pit for Theran
Theran falls 40 feet into acid
Every round he's in contact with the acid, which is the bottom 10 feet of the pit, he takes another 2d6.
The tiefling runs away because who cares about him anymore?
Theran calls on the strength of his fallen clan and begins to make his way up. Each pull of his arms bring him further up until he emerges victorious. Given the potential of the spell, he is barely harmed by his trip.
Stifling a cry as he sees Theran fall, Galin lets fly three more arrows at the mage.

Winching in pain, Blink replied with Ice in the form of Snowball.
