Lift me up, let's show her the power of teamwork!
Jetro allows himself to be lifted and squints his eye at the witch as his fingers dance along the string once more.
Greta just laughs the cold away - "Foolish creatures - taste my AXE!" - sidestepping to flank her immediate enemy with Helgash, and swinging hard.
The paladin takes heed of Venja's words, dropping the bardiche and reaching for the adamantine longsword, as he steps forward - "The goddess' weapon will strike you down!"
half damage: 9 damage
Sheelah growls and simply moves back from the Golem to S:16 and ges defensive, hissing
can I control the flaming sphere from where I'm standing? If so i move it and begin casting SNA3
otherwise i just start casting
From atop the icy wall held in position by Venja Jetro rains down death from his bow. At least it normally has been death but the hair tickled his leg and only the first of the three shots landed scoring any wounds on the winter witch.
Without any visualization of what is going on the other side of the wall Beck starts a casting.
Where things are getting interesting though is up front and brutal as Helgash and Greta unload on the ice golem against them. The golem explodes upon the blows releasing an icy burst of flying shards impaling all around it in 10 feet for piercing and cold damage reflex 14 for half.

The second golem steps up and attacks Helgash under instruction from the winter witch as his attacks bypassed the DR on the golem.

Nahzena then directs a floating hand that was behind her to reach out and touch Jetro as Nahzena continues to fly overhead out of reach of Helgash and Greta.
spectral hand touch attack fro Nahzena's vampiric touch spell for cold damage
Growling at her uselessness, Duardlara moves so her cone of flame hits the widest possible part of the wall, right in the main path, and she does her best to melt it down.
Sorry Duardlara no it does not have fire vulnerability. You do however make a large dent in the wall that should easily be broken through with another fire attack. Even an alchemist fire should have a decent chance over 2 rounds.
While still holding up Jetro so he can fire at the witch again, Venja aims a lightning bolt at the left corner of R15, to hit only the golem.
Jetro does the twing-wang once more
Seeing that the wall does not seem to be particualrly affected by the fire more than most things are, Beck summons
Earth elementals that appear and tear at the wall

at which point both earthglide to the other side of the wall, regardless of wether or not it breaks.
beck moves to U:16, and ...
not sure if the wall is still there, i'll act once i know, if that's cool
The tiefling is badly battered as the golem tears viciously on to him, but still he is undeterred, bleeding body glowing with a golden light that mends his wounds - "We will not be stopped!" - he roars, stepping closer to the other golem, drawing his shield, and attacking again - "Come and face me then!"
Greta doesn't even bother to talk, though she gives a second sidelong glance at the wounded Helgash - this does not stop her action, wading straight in toward the golem, and striking as hard as she can.
With a blast of lightning and massive blows from Helgash and a incredibly powerful 1 from Greta the second golem burst apart again in a shower of flying ice shards. piercing damage and cold damage reflex DC 14 for half.
Hitting the same portion, trying to open a path to get through
Well now, are you reconsidering your attitude about now? Jetro addresses the witch.
With the combined effort of the burning hands and the pummeling from the earth elementals (sorry not allowing earth mastery at this time) a 5ft breach in the wall was made. The air was crisp and warned any of trying to pass through it.
At Jetro, Not at all you little nuisance. I have not yet begun to deliver my arsenal upon you. First though I must take care of your meddlesome mount. Flying above the level that she believes Helgash or Greta could reach even with reach weapons the winter witch focuses her ire on Venja and Jetro. Hoping to target 2 birds with one stone she casts a potent spell aimed at reducing Venja's magical prowress and her ability to hoist Jetro up.
touch attack touch of idiocy
Thanks to the glowing spectral hand Nahzena is able to bypass Venja's defenses and Venja feels her mind slowly shrivel up as she loses intelligence and takes cold damage
The loss of her mental acumen causes the weight of Jetro to become unbearable as Jetro falls to the ground taking falling damage and ending up prone on the ground.
Duardlara dives through the gap in the wall fully expecting an attack as she comes through. The piercing cold of the barrier get through her normal natural resistance, though, causing worth of damage.
Moving to the right of the scrum with the ice golem, she targets the witch, hoping to thaw her out a bit.

Jetro stands(moves) and then follows Duardlara through the wall
Severely wounded, and bleeding from the shards exploding all around him, the paladin drops the shield and takes a moment to tend his wounds, uttering a prayer to Iomedae, and basking in the Goddess's healing light.
"Venja! Can you get me or Greta flying?!" - he shouts at his companion.
Quickly moving out of the way of the explosion, Greta manages to avoid most of it, but then can do nothing besides simply simply staring up at their enemy, growling - "What are we going to do!?"
Moving away from the others, wanting to avoid some sort of area attack, she focuses her attention on their opponent again - "If you get down here now, you may have a chance to surrender WENCH!"
Duardlara tries to scorch Nahzena but the blast flies errant lay shrinking a tree overhead. A low moaning sounds occurs upon the impact of the Flames as it seems the trees are aware of the damage done to them.
Helgash and Greta reposition themselves as Jetro runs through the cold wall to get sight if his quarry.
Sorry, Since she can't do anything, Beck orders Sheelah back around the corner of the house to Q19.

He then moves up 20 draws his sling as a swift action with the aid of his tail and loads up a sling-shot
Current round: 4
Beck pops through the wall taking cold
snaps a shot at the flying witch
for
and loads up another shot()
While up in the air, she loads her crossbow and fires a bolt at the witch.
Venja hits Nahzena with the bolt but still no signs of blood can be seen from her wounds. Clearly she had fortified herself once the reality siphon was gone bolstering her health with spells such as false life and the vampiric touch.
Moving away from the icewall to be out of a blast area Nahzena unleashes a potent spell designed to cover the area with hailstones. Everyone but Venja and Sheelah gets hit with the hailstones butonce the pounding is done heavy snow starts to fall limiting the sight and effectiveness of ranged weapons. (-4 perception and -2 to hit with ranged weapons.) The heavy snow makes movement difficult as the area is difficult terrain.
The small earth elementals manage to destroy the last 5ft section of the wall of ice to the east before the hail obliterates them.
hail damage bludgeoning and cold no save for either.

Jetro grits his teeth and takes out two magic arrows to shoot her
Beck grumbles as he takes a few hits and strolls over to F:16, unhindered by the ice due ot Icewalk, and launches a shot
for
loading up another bullet.
Jetro fires a pair of magical arrows and puts the first to good use. The arrow strikes Nahzena past her magically raised defenses as she glares down upon him. The second arrow misses the mark.
Unfazed by the difficult terrain Beck moves up and hurls a sling at Nahzena. This also hits and finally you can see a trickle of blood appear where the stone landed marring her otherwise porcelain white skin.
Sorry, Since she can't do anything, Beck orders Sheelah back around the corner of the house to Q19.
"Get her!" - Helgash roars, moving away from the witch, as the golden light of Iomedae again heals him. When amidst his companions, he again re-establishes his link with Jetro.
Greta moves closer to the house, and begins climbing it.
The surface seems to be slippery however, and she is unable to make any progress.
Needing to open the gate to gain access to the Hut a strange thing happens. The house rises on its chicken legs and starts to stamp the ground menacingly. It then starts to jerk at the shackles holding it in place. The jerking ad quick movents make it almost impossible to try and climb.
Growling herself under her breath, the elf says, "We are making it too easy for her, grouping up together. We need to spread out."
Venja fires again, hoping to at least hit again....
This time the arrow misses by a lot.
With the difficult terrain caused by the spell Duardlara is only able to make it a little past the Winter Witch. Still, she is in a position to fire upon her easily enough. Venja also unloads on the winter witch again but her luck ran out as the bolt sailed off and almost hit the hut that was dancing around on the chicken feet.
The Hut shakes wildly and what appears to be a beak protrudes from the upper window as the beak comes down aiming for Greta!
bite for
Nahzena sees the reaction from the Hut and starts to stay clear of the structure as she targets Helgash, Jetro and Beck with a glitterdust spell. The motes settle in the eyes temporarily blinding them as they rapidly blink their eyes trying to see the witch. will save DC 17 negates the blindness and another save at the end of your turn until you are no longer blinded.
Duardlara comes through the unnatural weather and sees the witch casting on her friends once again. Drawing back on her bow, she lets fly.
Jetro really should have listened to his mother and stopped doing that.
Venja sighs and loads another bolt.
Both Duardlara and Venja miss the witch. The motes settle in Jetro's eyes making him reminisce about his younger years. He still can have a full turn though and then make a save again.
Jetro really can't do a thing and has to tough it out.
Helgash shakes the magical attack away, and notices the massive attack on Greta, coming from the hut - "Retreat! Come close! I will defend us!"
As he speaks, a burst of healing energy spews forth from the Paladin.
Greta backs off away the mighty attack from the Hut, going on full retreat- "I should not attack it!" - she roars, bleeding - "What do we do!? Can we soothe it?!"
