Orlando swears again at the escape of the creatures before he could attack them.
He sheathes his sword, picks up his crossbow and reloads it.
Raven's Round 1 AoO
Seeing the darkmantles fly back up to their perches, surprises Raven. She swings at them as they fly by, but her moment's hesitation costs her any success.
Raven's Round 2 Action - Initiative 14
Seeing the others go for their ranged weapons, Raven smiles knowing this is her bailiwick. She tucks away her morningstar and brings out her longbow firing a shot at any remaining unwounded (or least wounded) darkmantle. The close shot against a non-moving target is almost too easy and see takes a moment to find the exact right spot to hit.
Aeron growls in frustration as both his attacks miss the darkmantles as Orlando calls them. He glances up and spots another creature that has yet to join the fray. He releases the handle of his hammer with his right hand and slowly lets the head down to the cavern floor as he reaches for one of his chakram hanging from his belt. The large man takes a moment to gauge his throw and then tosses the sharpened metal disc at the closest darkmantle.

10-Creatures: Number 4 drops down and Selka skewers it. You hear a scream from somewhere deeper in the cavern "My pets! You gonna pay for that you darn crusaders!" Aeron feels a stinging sensation as two bolts of magical energy slam into him dealing 10 damage!
All the darkmantles are dead but a new opponent appears! Resume same init and post round 3 actions.
Roll a 20% miss chance if you attack the dwarf.
Aeron lets out a pained cry when the magical assault slams into him, knocking the air from his lungs; he stares at the two smoking burns on his chest in surprise. He takes a moment to regain his breath before removing the potion from his bandolier. He pulls the stopper out with his teeth and gulps down the glowing liquid. He lets out a sigh of relief as the magics heal his smoldering wounds.
Round 3_____
Orlando waives his hand, and his Dancing Lights move to bracket the dwarf, which dim as they enter the darkness. He then fires at the new target.
for a possible points piercing damage.
Varn move straight forward and one square down to be directly over the dwarf and raises his hands slowly a pale but somehow thick glow rising from his hands before throwing itself at the dwarf's feet.
Seeing the new foe, Tessai immediately charges what she perceives to be a caster, and therefore the greatest threat - "Stay your hand! We are merely defending ourselves" - she urges - "And if you press your attack, we shall continue our defense!"
The dwarf is steady and doesn't fall.
"So you know some tricks elf, but I know some too!" he spits out.
Since she already has her bow out, and the dwarf wizard is being quite aggressive, Raven turns her aim on him. Inhaling deeply, she does as drilled into her head so many times before, even though this time the target can shoot back...
Before Tessai can reach him for melee, the arrow streaks from the ranger's hand as with a will of its own, seeking the mid-line of the dwarf. Raven then moves 20 ft to the west, trying to keep a good line of sight on the target if her allies close with him.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" - Selka shouts, all the while trying to pinpoint where the voice came from - "We have no quarrel with you, surrender and we will grant you mercy!"
She quickly tries to move toward it, ready to strike down this new threat.
Round 3:
23-Orlando: moves up to see dwarf and fires arrow and misses.
22-Varn: Moves next to dwarf and cast grease but the dwarf doesn't fall.
17-Selka: Moves up to the dwarf. (Unable to reach him and attack on the same turn)
15-Aeron: drinks potion to heal.
14-Raven: Raven moves up a bit and fires and arrow into the dwarf shoulder dealing him 3.
11-Tessai: Tessai moves up and swings at the dwarf but misses.
10-Dwarf: The wounded dwarf will take a 5 step back and cast color spray hitting Selka, Tessai and Varn.
Dwarf acrobatics to move
Will save dc 14 for those affected.
Pink area is grease.
The lights, the colors so b...
Varn falls backwards to the ground drooling while his eyes glow in the patterns released by the dwarf's hands.
Aeron sees the general direction the others are moving towards to attack, so he follows suit. He moves through the darkness until he sees Tessai's tail darting in the dim light. He draws another chakram as he comes to stand next to the tiefling, finally exiting the magical darkness. He spots their enemy, the dwarven spellcaster and prepares to throw his bladed weapon.
He will cast color spray defensively (just barely making the check)
and then move back 20 feet going deeper into the tunnel provoking attacks from Tessai and Selka if they make the will save.
As a note the dwarf currently has a light crossbow loaded and drawn as a weapon tough he hasn't fire it yet and seems to be relying on his magic instead for the moment.
When the dwarf unleashes his magic Selka tries to cover her eyes, but she's not fast enough. With a strangled whimper she flops down to the ground, unconscious.
Varn =
Selka =
Tessai is able to shake off the magical effect conjured by the dwarf, and seizes the opportunity to strike as he tries to retreat.
After the caster has attempted to gain an advantageous positioning, Tessai presses forward - "You will regret your actions" - she threatens, as she charges and swings at the blurry image again.
Oh also anyone crossing the grease is going to have to make a reflex to not fall prone. Also the square directly south-west of the dwarf is a tigh spot that you need to squeeze to cross. Assuming Tessai doesn't slip on the grease you can make it to the dwarf and swing but you take penalties if you stay in that tight spot. Tessai has enough movement to make it past the tight passage and still attack so you don't need to take the penalties and he cant take and attack of opt with a crossbow.

Assuming you make it up and attack: The dwarf is protected from your attacks thanks to his protective spells. Both attacks miss.

Round 3_____
"Faugh!"
Orlando drops the empty crossbow with disgust, thinking the Dwarf's spells made it useless for this fight. He assumes a Defensive stance and draws his rapier instead.
Then he pursues the dwarf across the cavern and through the narrow passage, leaping over the Greased area.
Carefully maneuvering, Raven tries to skirt the grease stain to the north, ending her movement just on the west side of the narrow opening. Still with bow in hand, she fires at the dwarf, even though he is in a melee with her allies.

Round 4
Raven fires again from the far side of the narrow stricture, choosing to stay here until he is retired. She moves aside if Aeron tries to go through, but sends another arrow speeding at the dwarf, who is engaged with her allies.
Aeron's frustration at his inability to reach his enemy grows, especially when his new companions follow the demented dwarf further into the caves. He moves deftly around the slippery area and looks dubiously at the small area in which two of his companions have already slipped through. He cannot leave them to fight alone!
The large warrior calms his anxieties and takes one last deep breath before blasting out all the air in his lungs as he begins to inch his way through the small area. He got stuck for a just a moment and his mind reeled in fear; however, with one last nudge he bursts through to the other side. He casts a dark glare at the dwarf. "Run little man, Aeron is going to crush you!"
"If yeh want me come and get me but your not taking me alive crusader!"
The takes a step back and fires his crossbow at Erik who cant dodge very well in his tight spot. The bolts hits him in the shoulder dealing 5 damage. He then drops his crossbow and take out a dagger.

"Come come young dwarf!" He said merrily. "We should all be friends against the incursion of demons! Here I give you my name; it is Orlando diNedraid, at your service. What is yours?"
Orlando will acrobatically tumble to flank the dwarf with Tessai.
for a possible piercing damage.
