"They are will-o'-wisps, they are immune to most magic except magic missles. Fear attracts them." Troxell quickly explains before trying to slash one with his scythe.
Teena casts Protection from Evil on Mhym, hoping that she can help him regain his composure and make him a bit harder for the balls of light to strike.
Troxell swings at one of the wisps, but it zips to the side and easily avoids his attack.
Teena avoids another shock as she moves away from the wisp attacking her and casts a protection spell on Myhm. The fear he feels diminishes.
Mikmik scrambles around the edge of the chamber and leaps at the back of the wisp on Troxell, but gets nowhere near hitting the quick creature.
Xerexis pulls at the door, but it is sealed locked tight.
Squinting at the bright light and hearing sounds of pain, confusion turns to anger when Myhm grabs for the nearest item and starts swinging.
;
With buzzing laughter, the wisp evades Myhm's angry swing. Both then dart in at Troxell and Teena again. Teena's elemental blood resists the energy, but Troxell suffers a bad shock.
Even more enraged, Mhym steps in front of Teena and swings at the laughing lights.
;

With some of his hair now standing on end from all that electricity, Troxell takes a few steps back and begins to cast a spell defensively.
Teena takes a step away from the creatures, and casts Protection from Evil on Xerexis as well, hoping he could recover and get into the fight.
Myhm slashes one of the wisps, causing it to flash and spark.
Troxell begins a spell.
Teena casts another protection spell on Xerexis, giving him back enough courage to control his fear.
Mikmik points above and shouts something in Aklo.
Myhm keeps attacking the same ball of light.
;

Xerexis searches the door and finds a strange lock, but in his frightened state can do little to unlock it. Then Teena's magic suppresses his fear and he is able to act somewhat normally again.
The wisp slashed by Myhm glows brighter and electricity arcs from Mikmik and Myhm, seemingly bolstering the creature.
It then darts in at Myhm while the second moves for Troxell. Both suffer from their touch, though Troxell manages to keep his concentration and finish his summoning spell.
Then, suddenly, the wisp on Myhm vanishes, though the humming sound and electricity arcs sparking on Myhm and Mikmik continue.
Myhm turns his next attack at the visible wisp, spraying sparks into the air as his axe slashes through it.
At the end of Troxell's spell, a dire bat appears next to the remaining will-o'-wisp and attacks!
Troxell moves further away from the wisp and casts Cure Moderate Wounds on himself.

Teena has nothing else to contribute against the evil balls of light this round. She ducks behind the rest of the team, hoping they could finish them off next round.
Xerexis's falcata misses the wisp and Troxell's summoned bat fares no better.
Mikmik cries out in Aklo, cowering from the wisp buzzing near Troxell. It seems like he's about to run, but he suddenly thrusts his dagger up at the creature instead. He seems to catch it off guard, for it makes no move to evade, but Mikmik misses nonetheless.
The wisp shocks Myhm, then winks out of sight.
Troxell readies an action to strike a will-o'-wisp if it appears into view and striking distance.
The dire bat will just wait for an enemy to attack.
Still shaken, Mhym whirls around nervously, waiting the light to show back up again. "Where?", he grunts as he waits.
;
;
The dire bat tries to bite empty air, perhaps signaling to everyone else where a will-o'-wisp may be!
Teena points to the south wall. "Mhym, Mik Mik, hug the wall I'm hoping to get lucky with this.". After the two move she casts Glitterdust, hoping to illuminate the invisible monsters.
Myhm and Mikmik withdraw to the wall and Teena casts her spell. Glittering motes appear in the chamber, outlining the small spherical shapes of the wisps. Both vibrate angrily at being exposed!
Unfortuantley, Troxell's dire bat has no ability to follow such instructions, and is too large to avoid the spell anyway. It is blinded, but was already fighting without sight, so the effect isn't as bad as it could be.
Troxell steps forward to swipe at the closest wisp, but the evil little creature is too fast for him.
"Look there! Focus on the glittering outlines! We should be able to track them now..."
(Myhm takes the readied action)
Xerexis advances and slashes into the wisp, disrupting it slightly.
Their natural glow returning, the two creatures zip in among the group, shocking both Xerexis and Myhm.
Myhm swings his axe, but misses.
Troxell's blinded bat tries another bite.
Troxell attempts to strike the adjacent enemy with his scythe, then moves back 5 feet.
Xerexis, Troxell, Mikmik, and the bat's attacks find nothing but empty air, missing the elusive wisps again.
The wisps zip overhead, making flanking attacks more difficult, then jolt both Myhm and Xerexis again with their electric energy.
Shaken, frustrated and a little more than burnt, Myhm continues the attack to the nearest wisp.
,
,
Troxell's summon bat tries to bite the nearest wisp yet again!
With his direct attacks having little effect, Troxell moves forward to distract one of the wisps to aid Xerexis in his attacks.
"Teena, their attacks don't seem to harm you. Could you try distracting them or assisting Mikmik with a flank?"
"You are right, Troxell. I do have a dagger...I'd forgot all about this!" Teena takes it out and weakly pokes at one of the wisps, hoping to distract it, so Mhym might be able to land with one of his powerful strikes.
