Grash starts keeping up his raging song with a lengthy tale of battles past. He is also interested in what is going on in the chest area, but wants to take a look first before deciding what to do.
Vote to step back. Tries a knowledge check on whatever is in the door. Will probably cast a spell, but wants targeting info first.
Not having much idea about what these things are, Grash simply winds his tale around in twisting, hard-to-follow paths, striving to mislead the minds of these brutish creatures.
Grash takes the full force of the fireball this time, which causes him to edit in a few lines about mauling drakes.
Beachhead chomps down on the last remaining drake in melee range...
You step back slightly, giving Tomorbataar and Grash space to target the creatures in the grand entrance hall beyond the doors.
Tomorbataar bashes the one in the entryway with his head, but it doesn't look stunned, just angry. When Grash finishes his spell, however, three of them look confused.
Beachhead snaps twice at the nearer drake, but it dodges aside both times. Ziphora's water blast strikes the other drake, but its tough scales deflect the jet enough that it remains unharmed.
Mo hurls a rock at the further drake.
But it goes wide.
The two drakes fly back a ways, waiting to catch their breaths out of reach of the horrible teeth and head-bashes. The creature in the doorway, having observed how quickly your body heals, instead targets Tomorbataar
Tomorbataar dodges its teeth and one claw, but it gouges him badly across the cheek with the other claw.
Two others growl and wave their hands, and suddenly appear outside.
One of the confused ones manages enough clarity to also cast a spell and appear outside. The other one near the door attacks its companion.
The first one snaps and growls at his confused comrade, shouting something in a language none of you understand.
The last one staggers about drunkenly and smashes its face into the wall.
Ziphora energies everyone with electricity.
Between Grash's rage inducing song and Ziphora's energizing electricity, Tomorbataar surges with power. Each time he throws a blow he lets out a *GAH* with the effort.
Tomorbataar also cries go left as he swings his head, urging the body to trample the western troll.
Grash continues his berserker chant, and snaps twice at the eastern creature in between words, in a fashion that blends disturbingly well with his speech. He then pulls back just a bit, so that if the body moves and carries him along the monster won't get a swing at him.
Grash votes TRAMPLE!!! He doesn't much care what.
Beachhead also votes for the body to go left to try and trample the creature on that side.
Finally coming down from the top of the wall, Beachhead shakes off the effect of Grash's raging song. He dives toward Tomorbataar's target, but at the last second veers towards Grash's target, instead.
Hopefully tricking his target, he flanks with Grash and strikes.
Grash is actually targeting the one to the right of the body, not the one in the door. It was right next to him at the start of the round.
Tomorbataar bashes the one in the doorway right in the face. Apparently his skull is harder than its skull, because its skull is the one that gets smashed. He spends the rest of his fury on the other creature near the door, battering it badly.
Grash and Beachhead execute a vicious double-headed attack on the creature to your right, injuring but not killing it.
Mo keeps throwing rocks at drakes.
His rock hits one right in the head, and it tumbles to the roof of the fortress.
Your body lumbers to the left, but... well, it's about as hard to avoid as you might expect. The creature there takes a swipe at your body as it sidesteps you, but that doesn't really bother you appreciably. The one on the right tries to bite Beachhead as he passes.
But the ninja is far to evasive for it.
It follows after him, however, and keeps attacking.
It leaps up and catches his neck with one claw, bites into his flesh, and then falls back to the ground.
The one Tomorbataar struck, enraged, follows after him and leaps at him, teeth snapping.
But it passes underneath without hitting him.
The remaining not-confused one decides to flank with his confused friend, not realizing that confused creatures don't count for flanking.
Thinking that Tomorbataar will dodge downwards, the creature snaps at empty air when he doesn't move like it anticipated.
The two other confused ones growl and snap at things only they can see.
The last surviving drake thinks better of hanging around and flies away.
It follows after him, however, and keeps attacking.
It leaps up and catches his neck with one claw, bites into his flesh, and then falls back to the ground.
The creature doesn't let go of Beachhead's neck when it falls, ripping the head clean off of the the body.
Beachhead, c'mere flank...oh Tomorbataar begins, before launching another series of attacks at the now cornered troll. As he fights it, he tries to squish himself into the corner so that the confused troll to his right will have a hard time hitting him.
"Beachhead!!!! NOOOOOOO! " Ziphora screams as she sees Beachhead flop to the ground.
"You're going to pay for that." Ziphora declares, her eyes flashing with rage,and a horn of electrified water growing out of her head, as she stabs mercilessly into the trolls around her.
So what's Grash doing?
Grash darts back at the one he'd been attacking earlier, and delivers another pair of ferocious bites in between lines of a speech that contains an awful lot of mauling and murdering if anyone bothers to listen.
He also votes for the body to use Haste boosted agility and rage boosted strength to make a running leap and BODY SLAM! the southern creature while it's too confused to dodge.
Ziphora annihilates the creature next to her with a thunderous double-lightning-horn strike. Tomorbataar pounds on the one to his left, leaving it badly beaten but not quite dead. Grash likewise wounds but does not kill his target.
Mo debates for a second and then decides that the one Grash bit is the easier target.
But he fumbles the release and ends up hurling his rock at the mountainside.
The last of the creatures indoors has a brief moment of clarity, and charges out to attack Grash.
Its companion gets in on the whole attacking thing, too.
The other confused one, meanwhile, continues growling and twitching.
The one Tomorbataar was beating on lashes out at him.
I'm still standing, failure. Hah! Tomorbataar shouts at the troll. Wait a second, I'm not standing...I'm stretching. But he doesn't have time to say anything, because he's too busy enacting swift vengeance on the troll.
Grash shifts over slightly before pressing the attack on the one he has been biting, striving to finish it off. His battle tale rises in intensity, nearing its climax.
He also keeps pushing his rather reckless BODY SLAM! body movement.
Don't you make this body move, the troll will hit me as I run away.
Although if it dies...
Ziphora turns to help Gnash with one of his trolls, but the clearly exhausted kineticist turns weaker lightning horn on the troll.
*1.5 dmg
Does Beachhead vote to body slam?
The beast in front of Tomorbataar dodges his first strike, but his second strikes it on top of its head, and it drops to the ground, unmoving. Ziphora and Grash, between the two of them, finish off the other not-confused one.
The two confused beasts, however, just attack the nearest things to them--Ziphora and Grash.
Bizarrely, they seem to aim better while confused, tearing deeply into both heads.
And then... the body slam.
Unfortunately, you're not coordinated in the best of times, and you only really end up kicking the creature.
Mo, meanwhile, throws a rock at the nearer of the two monsters.
But he misses.
With a final GRAAaarrrrgghh.... Grash is severed by the monster's claws, bringing his excessively violent story to an appropriate halt.
Determined to still be doing something, Grash votes to kick the confused monster again. It seemed to work well the last time.
"uuurrrkk" Ziphora gasps as the claws of the troll find her jugular, then it's cut off by the gurgling off her own blood in her throat.
Her head also is lopped off by those all too sharp claws.
Ahah, killed it. Now to help Ziphora and Grash...oh... Guys...? Tomorbataar suddenly feels very alone. Then the rush from the raging song wears off, and his wounds start to hurt.
Should be just a couple seconds, gotta use evasive tactics to stay alive just long enough...evasive tactics...they can teleport. But they've been beating on this one for the last few seconds, so it should be weak enough that I can kill it. Then I need to trip or trample the other one and avoid it's attacks long enough for someone to come back.
Tomorbataar votes to trample the southern confused troll.
Beachhead votes!
Tomorbataar beats the remaining creature badly, but it still lives and lashes back out at him.
It succeeds in tearing Tomorbataar's head off, and for a few moments you're quite unaware of anything.
Ziphora sprouts back out to find you're laying on your side. One of the beasts, still looking confused, is bashing its head on the ground, while the other seems to have retreated into the building and is calling out in a language you don't understand.
Mo, meanwhile, seems to have run off, probably convinced you just died.
"Oh dear. I guess we'll need to take care of the last one." She fires a water jet at the last one, RIGHT IN THE FACE!
x1.5
Sensing that the body may be able to move again, Grash votes to trample something. Or ram something. Whatever.
Beachhead votes, also!
Tomorbataar votes to do whatever Ziphora thinks is the best idea, since she has this great new thing called eyes
