Charlyl drops the crossbow and takes out his Elven curve blade. To the best of his abilities, he tries to discern where the gauths are and moves in to melee.
Charlyl draws his weapon as he moves. He will take a different route than Vhorun, going down and then left.

"Aullimenia, aullimenia, aullimenia." With a flash of light that is swallowed by the darkness, a being of pure good joins the fight.
Celestial:
[occ]Cast Summon Monster III to summon a Lantern Archon. Archon will use detect evil to pinpoint the orbs and then fire light rays.[/ooc]
the gauths act after Charlyl, you cant see much of what happens but suddenly the darkness is gone
vhorun gets hit for 14 fire damage from a scorching ray (no save) and 18 damage from a cause moderate wounds (will dc 14 for half damage)
next up is Ghaun who starts casting a summon monster (this will arrrive next round)
Miu and vhorun still to act this round (can Charlyl tell me where he thinks he is)

In the darkness, Charlyl tries to move to G18.

With murder in her eyes Miu heads towards the closest Gauth. When she's nearly there (G17) she speaks a few dark words to the Spider Queen just before taking a furious swing at the Gauth with her mace.

you cant actually reach the gauth as they are 10feet up, but if you are happy for me to place you there, i will say you jumped on the table at G19, unfortunatly you missed the gauth
Female Drow Cleric 7
oh I totally forgot, ah well I missed anyway... let's get on with target practice... :s
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Oh darn I missed the part about them being 10ft in the air too! This is going to be tricky...
M Drow Fighter 7
Ouch
Vhorun put on a grimace, and swing his backpack around. He gets out a potion and drinks it, suddenly growing in size.
Drink a potion of enlarge person. I have 4 more of those if anyone need some extra reach?
vhorun can you take 14 points fire damage and
a dc 14 will save or you are stunned for a round
miu can you take 14 fire damage and also
take 18 points of damage form an inflict moderate wounds (dc 14 for half damage)
next round, PC's are up

will save for half damage

Raven, I was waiting for the dwarf young to go. Can this post take place before the gauth post above?
Seeing that the enemy is too far up into the air, Charlyl throws a dagger at the nearest gauth to distract it. (I am assuming the gauth is too far up to take an atk of op)
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
"Hey ugly!" Charlyl shouted, "Over here! I dare you to come down and fight poor little me!"
Miu, if I can get into your spot, Vhorun and I maybe able to flank one of the gauths.

yup this action can happen before the gauth acts
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Ah man, I was hoping to take some heat off Vhorun or Miu. Better luck next time I guess.
Ghaun's player is not around for a while so i will pc him
at the beginning of his turn a Lantern archon appears
ghaun casts haste, all pcs and the Lantern archon that Ghaun summoned are hasted
the lantern archon fires three rays at the injured gauth, all three rays hit doing 13 points of damage
Vhorun is still to act this round unless he failed his save

Oh...
better now then when you face a basilisk!
the dwarf younglings look worried and are grabbing weapons
one of them yells at you, who are you? why are you attacking the gauths?
do you mean us harm? the youngling waves a hand axe in your direction,
Round 4 Charlyl is up
and can i have sense motives checks from people please?

Guys I am at a loss of what to do. Should I...
Wait for Miu to vacate G19 and take her place? This way, I can actually reach the wounded gauth. Although w/out a flanker (maybe the archon can help?), my dmg will be limited.
Cast my once/day Suggestion and make the wounded gauth retreat? The problem here is that even though retreat is a reasonable suggestion, I imagine a gauth will have a high will save.
Get the potion of enlarge person from Vhorun? Sounds like a good option, but it'll take 3 rounds. Round 1 to get there. Round 2 to fish it out of his backpack. Round 3 to drink. If Vhorun speed things up by giving me the potion, he won't be able to attack that turn.
Opinions?

dunno if I can speak out of turn but in case I can:
"Dwarfs! We're here to rescue you, Master Orrin Stormhammer will be here soon so I suggest you start using that axe young one!"
how about using levitate to get in a flanking positing?

Levitate is a good idea but do it this way....
move next to gauth this round, and then cast levitate, next round move up and hit it.
or it will simply move away from you . and miu what langauge are you talking to the dwarves in?
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Charlyl casts Levitate on himself and prepares for the air battle next round.
Since everyone passed Sense Motive, I am not going to put this in spoiler. Raven, are you saying that the talkative youngling doesn't want the gauths to realize that we're here to rescue them?

yes, thats what your passed sense motive tells you
the gauths are up
one of them manages to dispel the Lantern archon
Vhorun is attacked by a scorching ray but it misses!
vhorun is hit by a inflict moderate wounds for 14 damage (dc 14 will save for half damage)
Ghaun is hit by a paralization ray but he makes his save(just)
miu is hit by a scorching ray for 13 damage,
the other pc's are up
ghaun steps onto the table at h16
he lines up the two gauth, he holds his hands as high as he can and hits them both with a lighting bolt, the already injured one in f18 drops, it is dead, the other one gets hit but is still up
M Drow Fighter 7
will save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
and that's it for Vhorun. He's at -2.
Vhorun clutches his chest as a nasty gash open across his chest, and then all goes black. With a crash the enlarged Vhorun hits the ground.

Oh sorry, forgot to mention, Miu talks to the dwarfs in undercommon.
Charlyl could just cast levitate and move into position and then attack the next round, right?
Miu sights as she sees Vhorun go down and hurries towards him across teh tables, trying to take cover behind the table next to him (H14).
"Stupid males..."
Miu utters some curses aimed at most of the occupants in the room before casting a light healing spell on Vhorun.

some tactical thoughts!,my thought about levitate are that it is a standard action to cast it, so if Charlyl casts it and moves up to the Gauth then thats all he can do in the round, the gauth on its turn will 5ft step away and charlyl is in mid air looking a bit silly
But if charlyl casts it this round then next round he can go up as a move action and get a strike in before the gauth can move
if you really want to, PCs can cast levitate before each fight in case they might need it, if you really want to be clever (and possibly force me to house rule levitate!) you could cast it on each other! then for example in a round miu could cast a spell and move Vhorun up to the gauth, at which point he would get a full attack
the remaining gauth
hits Miu with a scorching ray for 14 damage
it trys to stun Ghaun (but fails)
it then moves to I 17
the younglings act! The young dwarf who has prevoiulsy spoken yells NOW!!
11 weapons of various types are thrown at the remaining gauth!
two hit, also the talkative one moves to e13 and throws his hand axe which also hits, from the 3 hits the gauth takes 13 damage
Round 5 Charlyl over to you, I wont send another map just note that the gauth is in I 17

"He's trying to run! Stop him!" Charlyl moves after the gauth.
Moves to H16 and tries to feint the gauth.

do i tell you if you have succeeded or not, or do we wait until you attack?
the inaitives have got a bit mixed up because i got confused about charlyl actions. it is not too much of a problem if we follow this rule; that no-one gets to act twice without the gauth getting an action.
so the gauth acted
then the younglings
then Charlyl
the rest of the PC's act and then we are back to the gauth
Ghaun uses his wand of lightning, the gauth fails his save and takes 17 points of damage which is enough to kill it.
we go out of iniative
well done people that was a tough fight!
what do you want to do now?
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Charlyl first checks to see if the ruckus in the sweatshop has attracted any unwanted attention. Afterward, he gathers his weapons and joins his cousins.
"What a pain in the ass these things are," he remarks, nudging a gauth corpse with his boot, "Good thing we got Ghaun here. That was nicely done!" Charlyl gives his cousin a firm clap on his back.
"You alright Vhorun? I got a few healing potions to spare if you need any."
Turning his attention to the younglings, Charlyl spots the talkative one, "You there, you seem like the leader. What is your name?" (undercommon)
Female Drow Cleric 7
After healing Vhorun Miu's hit by the Ghaun's scorching ray and it's one hit too many for the tough female. Her eyes roll in her sockets from the pain as she passes out.
-1hp!
Ghaun puts one of his cure serious wouinds potions down Mius throat she is healed for 21 HP
when she comes round
Ghaun says, "perhaps you should do a sending and get the others here as soon as possible, it wont be long before somone notices that things are amiss and we are overrun with drow and duergar"
Charlyl it looks to you like no-one has heard the rucus (no-one is coming to investigate), at the moment your are clear,
The talkative yougling says "i am Torin stormhammer youngest son of the chief, i am sorry to be rude but enough talk, are rest of my clan on their way"
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
"Charlyl Rilynghym, you're welcome for rescuing you from a life of slavery." Responded Charlyl with his customary politeness while signing behind his back, 'Are all dwarves this dour?"
"Your father and the rest of the clan are on its way. Once they are here, we'll storm the place, liberate the other dwarves, and kill your captors. Any useful info you can provide to help us efficiently dispatch the slavers will be appreciated, specifically..."
"Know anything about Lady Nala, the drow in charge of this operation?"
"Know anything about the head duegar, isn't he some kind of fighter?"
"The gauths were quite nasty, do the slavers have any other creatures?"
"Any surprises we should know about?"
Female Drow Cleric 7
Miu gasps for air as she the potion does his magic. Pushing Ghaun away she quickly stands up and checks her surroundings.
"Yes Ghaun, very well, excellent thinking, you're so great, I wonder why they haven't made you the master of Sorcere yet. Next time, leave the thinking to me or I'll teach you to stop thinking at the wrong moments. Before I can do a sending I need you all to make sure I won't be interrupted, it might take a while. I don't need to remind you what would happen if I were interrupted during my preperations or casting of Lolth's divine magic..."
With an angry stare Miu takes the scroll of sending out of her backpack and starts preparing it.
"mmm this is difficult... stupid scroll"
caster level check for higher level spell DC5
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Once she has read out the scroll and cast the spell of sending, Miu phrases the message she would like to send to Shal:
"Aunt Shal, we are ready, gauths are down, the young dwarfs are safe. Watch the ground for trap warning."
casting time 10 minutes right?
the sending goes off with no one interupting the 10 min casting time
and you get the reply "well done youngling! we will be there in five minutes"
OOC anybody else want to do anything in the next 5mins
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
No useful info from Torin?
While the sending is being cast Ghaun offers to go and be the lookout
he sees nobody coming up the corridor
torin provides this info
Know anything about Lady Nala, the drow in charge of this operation?"
i dont know much but there are rumours that she consorts with demons
"Know anything about the head duegar, isn't he some kind of fighter?"
his name is arack and all the other duergar are scared of him but i'm sure my brother could take him!
"The gauths were quite nasty, do the slavers have any other creatures?"
I have seen no other creatures but i have not been in most of the mine in this last year
"Any surprises we should know about?"
not that i know of
Shal and orrin arrive, they quickly have the dwarf young removed and with them go 5 of the adult dwarves
Shal says "well done younglings!
do you have any thoughts about tactics?
my thought is that the four of you, myself and Orrin lead the attack on the second barracks, hopfully we can take it by suprise, we then continue on rapidly, killing all opponents that we find, the other forty five dwarves can come in behind us and mop up any foes we miss"
Orrin says "it is unlikely we will get to the meeting area undetected but we can try, also the dwarves in the mines and worskshops will start attacking their captors in about five minutes, i would like to be hitting the meeting room by then, so lets get going soon
Orrin looks at Vhorun, "you look very tired! if you would permit me using some healing magic on you i can take away your tiredness
(ooc any questions or thoughts before we move on)
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
"It is very likely that we'll meet the Duegar commander Arak in the second barracks," says Charlyl as he readies his crossbow, "Base on the information that we gathered, he is the strongest Duegar here. Kill him and the Duegar resistance will melt away."
Charlyl looks at Vhorun and Torin, "Perhaps we'll work better if it's a competition? I bet 50 gp that my cousin Vhorun here kills that commander."
To Miu, "Looks like there will be a contest of Lolth's priestess sooner or later. Let us know if you need any help." *mischievous grin
Orrin says to Charlyl with a smile, "I bet you 200 gp that i can kill more duergar and drow then both you and vhorun can combined, obviously we dont count the ones already dead!
Male Noble Drow Rogue 7
Charlyl looks at Vhorun, "You game?"
Female Drow Cleric 7
Miu looks a bit tired after having cast the sending spell. With a heavy frown she watches her cousins boast.
"Idiot males... you'll get yourself killed trying to show off your mediocre skills."
and then she smiles:
"The Spider Queen will be pleased with what's about to happen. Our enemies will suffer dearly by the looks of it."
"Killing that Arack will be our first goal but they'll all die soon anyway."
Miu will rest a bit and then just before the group will continue she'll cast Levitate and Enthropic Shield.
