Quickly hangs his crossbow and pulls out his sword. He takes a 5 foot step back and looms deep into its eyes sending it thoughts of sleep. Sleep hex dc 18 if it drops dont attack it wait for another to try to wake it smack that one. Then try to coup de grace next turn.
The Skitterdark did not drop[/ooc]
Ehad swings and misses at the buzzing critter.
He moves towards the others and behind them casting mage armor on ehad if he can get to him safely.
Varin easily makes his way to Ehad to cast mage armor on him
Salus lashes out with his blade, trying to take one from the air.
To hit, normal drill

Salus swipes and misses
Ehad and Hakak are quickly separated from the party as they fight several skitterdarks though they seem to be holding their own.
We need a means to hit bunches of these things. That buzzing sound means they got the family coming.
Does anyone have area effecting magic? And does anyone know if these are more resist to fire than the other elements?
"Salus might know, I've never run into these before. I have a scroll of pyrotechnics, but I don't think that is going to do much. Glitterdust will catch us. I can keep hacking at them, but dozens at a time is not my strength. Any chance the statue would work against them?"
"They're resistant to spells, fire, acid, and cold. Don't even try poison or electricity!"
The buzzing continues.
I'm about to let off my last fireball. Stand back, its about to get hot.
Before casting fireball, Kracow will try one of hos cold iron shots, he steps back, loads and fires at one of the nearby devilkins.

"Thanks for that vote of confidence Calondrel. At least Kracow got one of them. Too bad two more showed up to replace their buddy. Any other ideas here?" He steps to get a little more space and tries to skewer the little monster with his rapier once again.
hp 32/37
I dont think I can hit them with out hitting us, well you guys with this fireball.
Kracow steps back (and because they dont have reach they shouldn't have AoO) he fires another cold iron bullet into his attacker but this time he channels his L1 word of power (exp. retreat)into his gun to make is sparkle with electricity (shocking).

A sudden ferocious roar interrupts the battle and a brown blur charges into the field, swinging something at the nearest skitterdark but then continuing on until it stops in front of another of the demons.
A wild-looking simian humanoid is now plainly visible, wielding some sort of polearm that has both a pronged hammer head and a spiked head.
He's covered in grime and filth and his clothes have seen much, much better days. They display numerous hastily-fixed tears, his tail coming out of a makeshift hole from the back of his trousers. His fur is a dirty brown and the hair on his head is messily shorn short, as if it has been cut with a dull blade.
He has a lean frame and looks thin but muscle is plainly evident. His face is smudged with dirt but it only accentuates his look of single-minded rage. You can see a large backpack carried on his back, looking extremely worn but still durable.
There's no pause in his movements, his weapon immediately thrusted into the skitterdark in front of him before bringing the hammer end back down, screaming another savage battle cry.

Hmm. Somewhat low rolls. And I was hoping to make a grand entrance! Oh well, and I shouldn't provoke any AoOs on my path due to my reach :D
the new combatant smashes one of the injured skitterdarks attacking Salus to goo, then splatters a second all over
the floor for good measure
that is how it should be done Pyke! Take notes!
Boneyard is startled and missed yet another attack.
Varin tries to hex the other thing that was on him.
What are these wreched things?
a second creature drops asleep.
all of the remaining flee.
The vanara roars again, a wild bloodthirsty sound that echoes in the cavern. He swings his weapon at the fleeing opponents with brutal force, alternating between crushing blows and piercing thrusts.

Mizaru swats another out of the air and badly injures yet another.

Salus' blade catches the skitterdark still fluttering weekly after Mizaru's attack and it drops.
As quickly as it began the combat ends. Silence returns. The party looks and sees no sign of Ehad or Hakek. Standing in the middle of the gore is a strange monkey man with a massive hammer in hand. He stares back at the others untrustingly.
Salus steps forward.
I do not know who you are are or how you arrived here, but we thank you for your timely aid. Friends Ehad is missing. You all press on and I will seek him out.
Salus offers his arm to the new comer. I hope that we will speak more when I return
Greetings strange one. What and who are you? More importantly do you need assistance in this shifting pain of a place?
Kracow introduces himself while contemplating what he knows about this new arrival.
Kn local
Kn nature
Kracow, even in his stupified state recognizes the creature as a Vanara. He thinks a moment and realizes that he knows pretty much all their is to know about the creatures.
The vanara growls when Salus steps forward, waving his weapon threateningly.
He looks uncomprehending when Kracow speaks. He still has his weapon solidly between the two of you, ready to act, but his brow furrows and it seems like he's starting to become more coherent, his growls lessening as he breathes heavy. His eyes still watch you all, suspicious.
"Yes, I'm not sure who you are, but thank you for the assistance. I couldn't hit a single one in spite of all the advice of my consultants." Boneyard sheathes his rapier and widens his arms. "We mean you no harm and with Salus going to find Ehad, it would honor us if you would join us...at least for now."
He closes his eyes and activates it, then activates it again. Our gift to you if you join my companions.
[ooc] all healed
The vanara seems to start to calm down when Salus activates the statuette, making him give a screech of surprise. He growls and points his weapon at Salus, chattering viciously.
"Who are you? You're another one of them aren't you? You can't fool me!"
Having no idea what the vanara is trying to say, Boneyard assumes the least threatening demeanor he can manage and tries again. "Whoa! We don't need to fight. Let's work together, at least until we can all get out of here."
The angry Vanera understands what Boneyard is trying to stay...whether he listens is another story.
Mizaru calms down, looking at Boneyard though his weapon is still pointed at Salus.
"Out? You know the way out?" His words are oddly stiff and formal, his voice halting like one who is unused to the language. "How do I-the-warrior-Mizaru know you say true? None of magic can be trusted in this tower."
Salus speaks as he slowly picks up the statue and tosses it to Boneyard.
Yes. We are on a quest but if you help us, when we leave we will take you with us. One of our companions has vanished and I am going to try to find him.
Salus gives the monkey man a wide birth as he goes off to find Ehad and Hakak.
