Rocko will stand up, ready his axe and shield, and grumble at this unexpectedly unhappy turn of events.
"And she seemed so nice ..."
At this point, Raymundo regains control and takes a swing at Yoltzin.
Yoltzin and Quince may act.
"Old lady, you need to stop this, NOW!"
Elias knows he needs to get to the old lady, he doesn't know where to cut things that don't have flesh. He kicks at the creature's knee, trying to bring it down.
AOO
Quince feels a sharp pain as the skeleton's blade chops at the offending kick, slicing into the warrior's calf.
Unfortunately for Raymundo, however, the kick connected solidly before he could fend it off entirely: the Skeleton falls to the ground and rolls sideways (Raymundo is now Prone).
Yoltzin's action Round 2.
The elf scowled as the skeleton managed to escape from its hold long enough and strike her. Stepping away from it, she drew upon the souls trapped within this bog and pleaded for their help. In celestial flames, someone appeared ready to seek their revenge in the form of a wolf.
It howels in rage against the woman, recognizing her for deeds wronged upon it in life. With sanctified necromatic power, it tore into her with abandon.
The woman screams out in pain, having taken a beating from the wolf's viscous bite. But instead of lashing out at it, she takes her wrath out on Djack, who struck the first blow, and Rocko, who appears most intimidating.
Claws:
On Djack:
Fort Save:
2 Str Damage
On Rocko:
Fort Save:
No Str Damage
The zombies have not yet appeared from behind the building.
Top of Round 3, Rocko and Djack are up (and still flanking the witch).
Djack is taken aback, feeling a bone chill.
I think she's a... witch?!
Claws that leech, eyes of red... Never let up, 'til the witch is dead!
The young man quickly thrusts...
This time, the woman easily dodges Djack's blade, an evil cackle coming from her lips.
Rocko's action.
Normally Rocko would have reservations about beating up an old woman, but something about that claw attack seemed unnatural. He'll take a swing, but then try to talk her down.
"Call off the Dead Ones, ma'am. We can still talk."
The witch dodges Rocko's attack, as well.
At this point, Raymundo stands, (AOO from Yoltzin if she threatens). He then takes a swing at Yoltzin.
Spizz finally snaps out of his confusion and comes around the table to assist Yoltzin against Raymundo. From his magic words, flames jet forth in a line at the Skeleton.
Unfortunately, the flames jet out to the right and out the door, scorching the door frame slightly as they do.
Rest of party may act in Round 3.
The witch dodges Rocko's attack, as well.
At this point, Raymundo stands, (AOO from Yoltzin if she threatens). He then takes a swing at Yoltzin.
1d20+7
1d8+3
Though her incidental strike with her spear goes wide, she's able to step just enough to the side to avoid it's continuing strike against her. Just as she steps back further still, she attempts to close the door to shut the skeleton out. Even if she can not, she still steps back next to Spizz and reaches within to plead assistance from her god.
"Xenxolotl, guide us as we purge this world of a woman who taints your sacred gifts."
The wolf spirit continues to bare down on the witch, sizing her up and waiting for an opportune moment to attack.
Quince's action, followed by witch and zombies.
Ducking behind Rocko, Elias lunges at the witch as she is distracted by the wolf.
Quince's attack slices into the witch powerfully, causing her to scream a horrid sound. Outside, wind starts to howl among the trees as if in sympathy.
Surrounded by so many powerful foes, she rethinks her strategy: suddenly, she disappears from view.
However, Quince is too savvy for her; he hears the slightest noise as she climbs onto the table, and perceives that she has merely turned invisible.
Top of Round 4; Rocko and Djack may act.
"Hey, where'd she go?"
Rocko will instinctively close his eyes and take a deep sniff to check if it smells like she's still nearby.
Before she turned invisible...
The summoned wolf bites out, but she manages to avoid its teeth.
perception - smell 17
Rocko is pretty sure the witch is still on the table, just above and behind the wolf.
Rocko may still attack. Djack will have to take a 5' move (basically step down off the shelf) and is no longer flanking.
Map Updated.
Rocko's first thought is to pin the old woman down. He's not too keen on dropping his axe or shield, so he opts for the next best thing.
Rocko lunges at where he thinks she is in an attempt to bit down onto her cloak, possibly even her arm for a better hold.
Rocko thinks he as a grip and bites down, tearing off some very foul tasting fabric into his powerful Gnollish jaws. Unfortunately, that's all he's come away with. But it does validate that she's still right there, if Djack can just hit her.
Djack's eyes go wide at get vanishing.
She's still... there?
His eyes go wider still, realizing she's merely unseen. He hops down and takes a uncertain poke.
vs Invisible: 1d100 ⇒ 25
vs Invisible: 1d100 ⇒ 25
As Rocko and Djack wildly attack the right area, but still manage to barely miss their foe, Raymundo prepares to advance.
The Skeleton 5' steps forward and takes a shot at Spizz.
Yoltzin (and the wolf) and Quince may now act.
"She making a run for it, I don't much fancy being trapper in her menagerie. Yoltzin, shut the doors!"
Elias rushes over to the doorway and tries to shove The Skeleton out, it seems to be blocking the doors
"Don't let her out!"
As Quince mentions his plan, the elf taps him on the shoulder at the last moment to fill him with a sense of certainty to his actions-
Heedless of the danger, Yoltzin still tries to keep the witch contained within the hut by shutting the door tight.
Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, Quince even with a touch of luck is unsuccessful at pushing out Raymundo; looks like he's here for the duration. The Skeleton attacks back against the attempt:
While Raymundo is distracted, Yoltzin slams the witch's cabin door shut. This greatly frustrates the zombies at the doorstep, who were just getting ready to reinforce Raymundo.
At this point, the witch immediately becomes visible again, now standing atop her table.
Everyone except Yoltzin needs to make a Will Save, DC 14. (To keep it moving, I will roll for you at some point tomorrow if you've not rolled before then).
Map updated, Top of Round. Djack and Rocko may act, after their saves. Reminder no more miss chances, for now.
[dice=will save] 1d20+1 [/ooc]
Rocko will sweep with the axe to try and topple the old woman onto her back, either on the table or off onto the floor.
Moments ago, the wolf tried to get another bit in at the witch by following her vile scent. However, even relying on more than eyes, it was unable to find purchase.
There you are more... hideous than I remember. Gramms liked that word... spicy words.
Add of unable to suffer the crone's existence, Djack lashes out with vim and vigor.
will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Rocko begins to sweep with his axe, but mid-swing, he gets really sleepy, and drops to the floor for some Z's. (Rocko is magically asleep).
Djack yawns, but manages to resist the witch's magic. Instead he stabs out with his blade, catching her mid-body.
Quince Save:
Raymundo lashes out at Quince's sleeping form:
This causes Quince's sleepy eyes to pop open as the pain shoots through him. He may act this round, but is prone.
Spizz Save:
Quince, Yoltzin, Wolf, and Spizz may act.
"Spizz is getting very angry you hurting friends!"
A cone of flame shoots out, engulfing the Skeleton, the doorway, part of the ceiling, and basically the entire area ahead of him.
The roof catches ablaze in the wake of Spizz' flames.
"Spizz! Do not set things aflame so carelessly, especially while we're stuck within!" She chastised.
Clutching her charred skull with one hand, she felt hesitant to step away from the scaly arsonist. She tried to bring focus on her magics while next to the skeleton, but she just couldn't bring it to bare.
Undeterred by the loss of its flanking companion, the spirt given form Continues tearing into the witch.
Yoltzin's spell loss notwithstanding, her wolf summon manages to contribute by ripping further into the witch.
Quince may act before the witch in round 5.
Elias squares with Raymundo, blades en guard ready to duel, before his body realises the skeletons last blow. He sinks to his knees and then falls face down on the rough floor.
The last sound Quince hears before he passes out is zombies pounding on the door trying to enter.
Back in wakey land, Yoltzin and Spizz note that the bolt on the door is holding...for now.
The witch, heavily injured, was really hoping her spell would take more of you down. However, she's not ready to give in yet. She turns to face Djack with her claws once again.
Need two Fort Saves from Djack
