"Boys... I think that Malikanda is running to the back of the house... someone should try to go around the house while someone else helps me here in..." the skinny elven woman seems hesitant to go alone inside the hut, despite the sturdy trident in her hands.
She slightly nods to Gregor as the cannibal falls "Well done Gregor, let's profit our surprise lead now"
As Davor suhes around the house he is faced by a hideous old woman, who obviously just climbed out of he window. Picture is on slide 2
Being surprised herself by Davors sudden appearance she tries to cast a spell but fails. Dont wanting to face the Half Orc on her own she tries to run away.
Davor gets an attack of opportunity

Hearing that the the cannibals shaman is probably fleeing on the other side, Gregor races around the corner and seeing her heading to the door of one of the main buildings he races past her and spins just on the other side of her.
for some reason power point isnt loading for me on the computer. It did once, but when I tried to edit it stopped working.
Davor calls out as he attacks the crone, "She's here but she's running! Came out a window on the side!"Not yelling since I don't want to alert the whole camp!
Attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Guess I was more concerned with warning than attacking!
Hope I placed Gregor at the spot he intended. I added coordinates for clearer descriptions.
Pezcock is running around the other side of the house trying to pincer Malikanda together with GregorWhile the other follow Gregors lead towards the other huts.
Seeing the Father arriving to the hut, Shalissa points behind "Kerndrew! They went at the back, I can hear combat! Gelik, come with us! They need our inspiration and support!" the elven woman then runs around the hut.
When she comes to see the battle developing, she halts a second waving her arm that crackles with electrical energy, releasing it to attack the yellow cannibal.
Lightning arc-attacking into melee penalty (touch) 5/6:1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 4 = 11 Electrical damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Suddenly you hear a loud and clear voice behind you singing an unknown ballad about a woman from Abendego defending her hometown against insumountable odds. Listening to the inspiting melody and the moving story inspires you to renew your efforts.
Gelik "casts" Inspire Courage (+1 ATT, +1 DAM, +1 Will vs. Charm and Fear.
Those of you who have spent time with Aerys notice one of the stories of her Cantos.
Seeing no way to get behind the lines of the cannibals Malikanda takes a step back raises her arms and incants in a dark language. seconds later an giant spider appears next to her and attacks Pezock but 8 legs appear to be too much to sort out in such a short time.

Gregor ignores the Cannibals for now and focus' on the old woman...the Shaman. He takes a sidestep along to get between her and the door and attacks. Try as he may though he couldnt keep the advancing cannibals out of his mind though, and his attacks were clumsy.
Pezock turns towards the spider trying to defend himself and get towards the Shaman.
With his bright red sabre he is able to cut of the front leg of the spider in one strike.
To your surprise Aerys is not drawing her Knife but attacks the cannibal with her fist and well timed kicks perfectlly suited for a close quarter combat like you see n a boarding action.
Seeing Davor surrounded on all sides Jask steps behind the sailor laying his hadn on his shoulder shouting "The Magic of the goddess will protect you in battle"Shield of Faith +2 Defelection AC for 2 minutes
Davor steps left to improve his positioning and slashes at the spider, but is blocked in the last second by one of the many legs Barely Missed
In their desperation to protect their homestead the canniballs are slowing shaing their fear and continue to attack, but are easily blocked by the solid line standing against them.
Seeing the strong line forming in front, Shalissa decides to go behind the lines and stop Melikanda retreat while giving Gregor a potential flanking. Casting shocking grasp in her hand, she runs forward while the electricity sparkles in her right "I think it is time we bring this toe to toe Dear!"
Shocking grasp+IC (touch):1d20 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 + 1 = 8+3 if she has anything metallic Electrical damage+IC:2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 1 = 8
Shallisas Shocking Grasp sizzles harmlessly along Malikandas Quarterstaff as the Hideous woman turns towards her new opponent.
Turning towards her, she cackles madly pointing the staff at Shalissa and cast a spell.
Concentration DC 17:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Shalissa Will DC 17 vs.Compulsion :
Shalissa collapses into gales of manic laughter, falling prone. The subject can take no actions while laughing, but is not considered helpless.
If you fail you can name an NPC which you want to run for the next few rounds.
Gelik takes out his bow and fires at the shaman to distract her but misses wildly.
Aerys steps into the hole left by Davor and attacks the cannibal with the green shield by landing another kick to the groin.
Aerys vs Green Unarmed strike:1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 Dam:1d3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4
Ishirou uses the opening provided by Father Kerndrews arrival to strike at the blonde cannibal
Ishirou vs Yellow Katana:1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22 Dam:1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
While Malikanda turns towards Shalissa she provides an easy mark for Davor, who does not let the opportunity slip.
Meanwhile the Cannibals continue attacking with raging frenzy, making them all forget about their fear.
But most of their attacks miss, only The one with the green shield lands a blow at Aerys.
Will DC 17:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Shalissa considers laughing of Malikadna's ugliness, but she does remember that there is a place for everything in this world, and finally remains serious.
She waves the spell charge that holds in her hand "You cannot escape forever Melikadna! Better surrender the village!"
Shocking grasp+IC (touch):1d20 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 + 1 = 10 Electrical damage+IC:2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6
When Shalissa steps up towards the witch andlooks he in the eye Malikanda tries to wriglle out once more, but this time the currents grasp her hands and race up into her feeble heart stopping it.
Left uncontrolled the Spider tries to fight her way out into the jungle attacking Gelik

"Your leader has fallen; it's time to give up!" Father Kerndrew yells at the cannibals around him, but he backs up his words with the force of his arm, pressing the threat with action.
Father Kerndrew imposes his will on the cannibal in front of him and tries to drive him back with a few mighty blows. Unfortunately the man is not only cowered, but also cut in half as the resukt of this. Yellow is dead
Re: intimidate Checked, the rules, Intimidating is a standard action (and therefore almost entirely useless) but I gave one to Father Kerndrew as a bonus for the nice call out. But 12 is not enough to suceed anyway.
Your friends keep hacking at the line of the cannibals with various success.

My only goal was to get rid of the flanker; goal accomplished!
Shalissa breaths relieved when she sees the witch fall under the lightning of Gozreh "Observe the divine justice. Nature has come to hunt those who have not respected the life of their own kin!"
Noticing Gregor bad state, Shalissa steps forward to gather healing magics and touch the man on his back.
CLW (dropping obscuring mist):1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3Ouch! Sorry Gregor...
Seeing only three more enemies Gregor turns towards the the village where he is greeted by a mighty roar as a large man charges towards the group followed by a two more Caanibals.
When the man spots Father Kerndrew he immediately recognizes him as a worthy foe and charges into battle. His reatiners follow after him attacking Aerys and Davor.
Will save white:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Will save Light Blue:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
"Oh no! Kerndrew resist!" seeing the father too pressed with a new mighty enemy, Shalissa starts pledging the gods for help "Father of the Lightning and the Wind, please, show the terrible cannibal your might!"
Casting cause fear on the just arrived leader.
Will DC 14 (note even if he succeeds, he is shaken 1 round)
Then she looks over Malikanda trying to snatch any obvious item that might help from the fallen body.

Gregor scowled he didnt like the way the battle was going, he shouted Shalissa that Amulet may allow the control of spiders. maybe you can get it away from Gelik and turn it on the enemy. Pezcok can you replace Aerys in the line? Aerys can you back up near Jask, and once healed go help Father Kerndrew? Jask can you back up a few feet and give us a burst of your healing energies, making sure not to get any of the Cannibals in it?
and he struck out twice at the Cannibal who had just run up with the light blue face paint.
´Father Kerndrews mighty strike hits the Chieftain straight in the chest, staggering the man. Shocked by this and Shallissa incantations the mans turns around immediately and runs.
WILL DC14:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Gregor and Davor also land hits on there opponents, but don't do much damage. Unfortunately the others all miss.
Shalissa breaths relieved as the cannibal champion seems to fall upon her spell and start running. She frowns on the criticals on Aerys and Davor "Let's not relax, we are still in a dangerous position!"
Holding back her arm over the shoulder, Shalissa's hand crackles with electricity. With an energetic move she propels the spark over to the light blue cannibal menacing Davor and Gregor "Iaaaah! Take that!"
Lightning arc (touch) 4/6:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 Electrical damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Feeling relieved at the big chieftain fleeing--and not sure how he feels about that--Father Kerndrew wheels on the cannibal behind him and strikes again.
NG| Male| Human | 4th Ranger| Conditions: 35/35| AC:17 (FF15/T13)| FO:+5 RE:+7 WL:+4|Initiative: +3/+5 in Jungle| Perc:+9| Stealth: +8
Gregors wounds were many, and blood streaked down his arms and legs. He took a faltering step towards Shalissa, even as he swung his axes against the cannibal with the light blue hair and warpaint.
Davor feels the blade of the cannibal in front of him slash through the magical shield and his own armor. "Ouch! You're dead for that one! And if I could raise you and kill you again I would! Your leader just ran, like the coward that he is! Maybe you should follow!!!"
However, seeing Shalissa fire a lightning arc at the cannibal in front of himself and Gregor, Davor stabs at that man.
"One more turned in to fertilizer! You should all run before the ground here runs deep with your blood!"
I just noticed Gregor's post. If the man fell before my attack, change me to moving where Light Blue was and attacking Purple? Shields Gregor for possible healing?
After stabbing Gregor in the chest with his smimitar the cannibal with the light blue wounds succumbs to the trauma of the hits he sustained allowing
Gregor uses the lull in activity, steps back and downs a healing potion, while Davor mprotects him and stabs Purple in the tight.
He died before Gregors turn so Gregor can drink his potion and Davor can step up.
Father Kerndrew continues to work on his part of the line to free himself up for the return of the chieftain
In the middle of the line the battle continues and finally the pressure is too much for the cannibals.
