I forgot to add the spell cast from entering greater bloodrage, adding that this time. Monstrous Physique for a gargoyle form. AC 25 with rage, str=28.

dam: 2d8 + 29 + 6d6 ⇒ (7, 4) + 29 + (3, 4, 1, 2, 4, 6) = 60

Hit, miss, miss, (but moot since the first whap kills it. )

Can Sileth shoot one of the vrocks or does he need to move first?

Sileth will need to move to get a shot off, he's down the spiral stairs some.

Sileth moves to get a clear shot and fires at the nearest vrock

4,5 both screech.

2 DC 21 will saves or you are stunned for 1 round (this gets everyone but Taedos. )

Marckus and Taedos are up for the end of round 1, then Ulthar and Sileth for the top of round 2.

Hearing all of the racket and screeching up there, I move up the stairs until I blocked by my party up there. Looks like I can kind of still see everyone up there.

Not sure on map positioning but I moved myself 5ft. If that's not going to work I can free action for Lunge to make this full attack on 3.

I thought this posted.

Will Ferrell: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Will Ferrell would screw me over before Will Smith.

Yes, they are starting to boogie.

I was really hoping Sileth or somebody would come in here and do a knowledge check because this dancing is unsettling me.

too stunned to do a check this round.... Next round if I can

Marckus starts dancing as well... on #4's face.

it drops.

Sileth, you were only Stunned for 1 round. You and Ulthar can go now.

What's all that dancing about? He relays that info to the Green hulk and the others.... BTW we've fought vrocks before so probably remember stuff about them

You think they are birdy demon thingies who evidently just like to boogie (i'm pretty sure you've never seen the dance before since it requires a number at once, and you've seen them in singular).

3 arrows hit, but it keeps dancing.

I totally missed the Haste cast.

I'm delaying until after the bad guys, nobody looks all that hurt right now.

I also missed Haste. And I forgot Lead Blades again. But c'est la vie.

Ulthar moves up with haste, and gets cracking.

Cracking is a metaphor for bardiche: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36

#1 isn't in full-attack range from where Ulthar starts this round right? If it is:

Only one hit due to movement.

The two dancing Vrocks (who are doing a flying dance BTW) edge back a bit more.

How high up are we? Like if a vrock fell how far would it go before hitting something?

Moving right up behind Sileth and casting a cure spell on him. Everyone else appears to be healthy.

You're about 50' above the ground.

Sileth tries to move out of the vrocks melee reach

The snowball tags the demon, but it continues to dance.

Though it appears to be injured enough that it is starting to lapse into white guy dance

I was sure I posted but it's not here. That's distressing.
Marckus swings various limbs at the vrock still in melee range.

And he obviously should have used his bare hands. This is by far the worst he's ever done. Like ever. Like that vrock was in more danger from the last child it ate. So bad.

In spite of Gumby's best efforts to screw up, he still drops the Vrock.

The last one teleports away since his paired dancing partner has been offed. Combat over.

@Sileth Is your HP up to date there (down 8)? If your still down just a little I'll do a cure light wounds on you.

Marckus is astounded by Ulthar, but tries to stay focused.
"We should drag the dead ones back to that guy so we can prove we're tough enough for him to advance the plot."

They are a bit heavy (being large and all), perhaps just the heads.

@Taedos yes HP are up to date... A clw would be a great.. Thanks

I bet they taste like chicken

Sileth goes through the looting protocol detect magic Yada Yada

No loot.

Marckus, feeling considerably underestimated, does his best to haul back an entire bird-thing.

With a lot of forcing and some cracked bones on the demon, Marckus is able to drag it down the stairs. However, once you have it inside, the wards seem to take effect and it begins to decompose rapidly.

"My trophy!" Marckus exclaims. He looks down at the drbuzzard in his arms as it fades away, imagining what it must be thinking.
"I don't feel so good." It would surely say if it were conscious and alive.
Marckus holds on until the last moment, but ultimately is helpless to stop the fate that has befallen his... corpse. He stares at the camera with intensity and regret.

Ulthar drapes a cloak over Marcus' shoulders with his head bowed. He then tries carrying just a head back. Surely that would hold up.

With Yackity Sax and a canned laugh track playing in the background, the pathos of the situation doesn't quite come across, especially when the head comes off and starts bouncing down the stairs ahead of you while Ulthar chases it.

Partway through Ulthar gives up, and just kicks the head on his way to the room the council of elves are holed up in. He knocks.
