Karsa turns his attention to the carnage behind him for a moment before calling to Adin, "Captain, would you please deal with that bastard!" He then brings his focus back to the re-appeared succubus, "That's a neat trick my dear, bet you can't do it again though!"
Sensing her impending doom, the succubus goes Ethereal at the last second before Karsa's onslaught would destroy her. Once the immediate danger has passed, she returns to the material plane.
Ref Save : Karsa shrugs off much of the damage but his skin is still charred by the lightning as it hits him. Fighting past the induced grief, he regains his composure and takes quick action. Seeing Kolm and Avalar closing on the minotaur, Karsa turns his attention to the succubus and calls to his warrior allies, "Keep the ox off my back, that b***h is mine!" Not wanting to risk a full flurry from the minotaur's deadly axe, Karsa takes to the air and darts past the half-fiend, over the tables and into range of the succubus.
He then speaks a command word and unleashes a devastating blow to the succubus' hip and tries to drag her to the ground with the force of the blow.

Edit : Mind Blade Crit Confirmation :
Will : Karsa grits his teeth and does his best to fight the demon's mental intrusion.
Well then I suppose I will need to find a mundane profession in order to hide my abilities. Maybe I could become an addictions counselor? I'd still be battling demons in a way:P
True, but that's not really how HD work...not to mention that her CMD would suggest she has more than 5 or 6 class levels... I just want to get the results for this round so I can see if I can actually hit her? If I can then I should be able to whittle them down if you guys can keep me standing ;) I already hit the minotaur for 61 damage before DR :D
Karsa growls as only one of his attacks connects with either opponent. He then shifts forward again as his chain begins to shrink back to it's original length. Quickly speaking the command word though, he snaps the chain back out and lays into the demonic pair once again.
He sweeps the chain in reverse this time, first swinging for the legs of the Minotaur : Trip : Attack of Opportunity :
Then he brings it around to take the succubus off of her feet : Trip : Attack of Opportunity :
And then tries to find a hole in the defense of this seemingly softer target : Mind Blade :
Mind Blade :
Well the bull head goes before me and the succubus after. I assume he used a readied action so he should still have a turn come round 2. As for what I will do well thats simple, I am going to waste them. But here is a hint Adin has more then two eyes at his disposal. ;) You should brush up on your readied actions mate. The minotaur now goes right before Avalar so we are waiting on you ;)
True, but at least she still had a 35% chance to fail. I rolled a 19 and still couldn't get the job done :P So what is our visually challenged captain going to do? You are the first one up this round after all ;)
That's true but especially at this level I find it a little difficult because people's turns can have a huge impact on the fight. I'm waiting until I see Adin and the Succubus' turn before I decide where to lay the smackdown. The Minotaur having a CMD of 49+ is a little worrying. Especially since it's without magic or you guys would be able to see it...
I think Kolm is right but I was actually just talking about your bonuses from haste and the charge...
Karsa grins sinisterly as he regards his opponents, "They say you can be judged by the company you keep. I think it's about time I took Treerazor's measure..." Spreading his wings, Karsa shifts forward and up several feet off the ground in order to have a more direct line to his targets.
The half-dragon brings his chain around and speaks a command word while channelling his focus into the weapon as he swings. As it lashes forward, the chain leaps forward, seemingly adding new links and closing the distance between himself and his abyssal enemies.
Karsa's first brings his chain around to catch the legs of Succubus : Trip : Attack of Opportunity :
His chain then sweeps past her and tries to bring down the Minotaur : Trip : Attack of Opportunity :
He then attempts to hammer the Minotaur down further : Mind Blade :
Mind Blade :
Psychic Strike Damage (Added to the first successful hit) :
Ugh, I just lost my big post and now I need to leave for a bit. I'll have my actions up in about 2 hours and rolls permitting, I plan to do a lot of damage this round ;) Oh, are the ceilings in the dining hall at least 10ft?
Her will save isn't that bad, if I had chosen my equipment a little differently, I would have had a higher mod (at least against spells):P P.S. Mer, just remember Karsa can haste himself if you wanted to mix things up a little?
Karsa snorts when told that the Inn's guards have all been incapacitated, "Figures...we're really going to need to see about that refund..." He then addresses the newly arrived succubus, I think you'll find that my friend will prove a far more daunting challenge than the resident hired muscle around here, my dear. And that's to say nothing of the rest of us, you'd best run back to you master before you and your bovine friend get in over your heads."
My deepest condolences Kolm, we'll be fine in your absense, just look after yourself and your family. I'm sure there will be room for you here once you return. Good luck!
Karsa too raises an eyebrow in Adin's direction, "So much for the security of such a quality establishment. Once we're finished you'd best demand a refund...
The half dragon then casually rises from his seat and steps away from the table. He looks the minotaur up and down appraisingly, his sinister chain springing into existence between his clawed hands, "I'd watch who you taunt, goat! Aren't your kind little more than a god's cruel joke?"
Karsa casually follows Mer into the dining hall and loads himself a heaping plate of what must be several pounds of roast and then grabs a loaf of bread and a large mug of ale before taking a seat at their table and passing the next few hours either eating of making idle conversation until Adin returns.
Karsa raises an eyebrow as Meredian talks to the half-elf at the front desk. He leans over and whispers to the drow arcanist, "Carefull, I'm not sure I could stomach our captain if you gave him reason to be less personable..."
Karsa follows Mer to the Treasure Cove Inn and quickly retires to his room within Meridian's Mansion. He spends the remainder of the evening in quiet prayer to Asmodeus for the strength to crush the demonic forces they have found in their way.
Karsa shruggs, "Fair enough, you know where to find us when you are finally ready to depart this chaotic mess of a city." Karsa then settles into his seat and waits for his ale to arrive as the captain departs. Adin: Fair enough, I'm just saying that with Adin's standoffish nature, Karsa might not agree to help you, but I will agree because it's more fun that way and everything runs smoother. Taking your characters too seriously can screw up the enjoyment of a game really quickly. That's my only point ;)
Karsa orders a mug of the darkest stout in the Dancing Elf as he passes the bar. His drink on the way, Karsa casually moves over to take a seat across from Adin, "I know you have a flair for being overdramatic, but no one will think less of you if you simply use the door like the rest of us captain. So what brings you down here amongst the common folk?"
Karsa falls in beside Meridian as he heads off in search of a drink, "All that fuss and you aren't sure? Perhaps Achaekek really did have a hand in it's creation? Either way, I'll be glad to be away from this place. I good mug of ale will suit me well."
Karsa watches the drow carefully for a moment before sighing heavily, "It would seem your great intellect can do little to protect you from the great love all elves seem to have for hearing their own voice. Let me know when you find something useful." Karsa then returns to casually looking over the wares of the nearby vendors, a bored expression on his face. Pinky: "Merely being an elf. Tell me, why do you and so many of my kin seem to have such an affection for a race of long winded fops?"
Karsa follows Meridian around as he explores the field, equally eager to learn about it's nature but lacking the tools to do so. "You can swap one dainty face for another all day but what are you hoping to accomplish here?"
Kolm: Karsa chuckles, "The best offense my friend...I play to my strengths that's all."
Karsa brings his chain high, attempting to smash his armored opponent into the deck. Mind Blade 1 :

Kolm: Karsa's chain seems to whip back on itself even before reaching the end of it's arc in order to catch Kolm with another blow as he clambers to his feet. Unfortunately this leaves him open and the half-dragon grunts as he takes a blow to his breastplate from Kolm's deadly Bardiche.
"Well Placed, I'll need to treat your weapon with a little more respect it seems." Karsa draws from his boots again and quickly sweeps the dwarf from his feet once more, his chain catching Kolm again on the way down before smashing him savagely upon landing.

Kolm: Ok, so what did you leave out though? :P
Did Kolm stand as a move action this round, giving him a better attack or did he stay down, giving him a full attack? Also, don't forget to add in the -2 from being shaken after Karsa's hit. Looking at it I think my 36 would leave you shaken for 3 rounds total?
Karsa looks wary, "While I must say it's nice to know for certain there are no tricks within, I'm not sure I like the idea of someone with the power to provide such security. Still, perhaps we could barter for similar protection against whoever is tracking our movements? The captain certainly seems to have no shortage of gold at the moment..."
Karsa slowly looks around the market before speaking in a low voice, "Perhaps something to allow certain high profile vendors more discretion? Does your other magic function?"
Karsa turns from idly watching the busy market and looks to Meridian, "What in the Abyss are you doing? I can tolerate wandering the market interminably but can we at least keep moving?"
Kolm:
Karsa's face splits into a feral grin, "As you wish."
The half-dragon stamps his foot, hard on the deck before pivoting and lashing out in a sweeping arc. Cursing as Kolm stands his ground, he brings the chain back for a second pass, this time finding better results. He then brings the chain high and attempts to hammer the prone dwarf with heavy blows. Trip 1 : Trip 2 : Attack of Opportunity : :

Mind Blade 2 :
Karsa grimaces at Adin's words, "Figures...well then I suppose we can head to the market, a fresh meal wouldn't go amiss."
Karsa looks out over the docks for a few moments, "I would be wary of straying too far apart during our stay. It's far easier to lay a trap for someone in a thriving city than the middle of the sea..." He falls silent for a moment, as if considering something, "Still, there is at least one private matter I would prefer to attend to while we're here. I would suggest that we limit ourselves to a few hours of personal errands tonight and then stay together from there on." He turns to Adin, "Where would I find the temple district in all this chaos?"
Hey, that's right. I guess we can all stop asking Kolm where to head :P
Kolm:
Karsa checks the straps on his armor before conjuring his devilish chain, he takes his place and looks a Kolm with a grin, "Are you ready, oh steadfast one?" Init :
Karsa shrugs, "You've seemed sharp enough thus far. A good deal more personable than the average elf too." Karsa seems somewhat puzzled by Meridian's easy laugh at his own faults. He's clearly lost the humor but his tone remains light.
Karsa smirks at the elf, "Forgetting your former guests already? I will admit it's a step up from the average cramped hole at an inn."
Kolm: If you'd rather just leave it that's fine with me as well.
Karsa stretches his wings and arches his back, "I'll just be glad to finally wash the salt from my clothes, I think it's starting to corrode my scales..." He looks to Kolm, "So now that we've arrived, I don't suppose you know where we are supposed to be escorting you and our cargo?" Kolm: If we've had a month of down time, I'd still be interested in our little sparring match. I suppose we could carry it out in spoiler form and just say we found time during the voyage? What do you think?"
