is up next
Ottarr steps back and mocks the nearest parasite relentlessly.
Ottarr infuriates the fast parasite, causing it to lose its focus, impairing its accuracy.
The fast parasite toss two obsidian spikes at Ottarr, missing with the first but connecting with the second, catching him in the shoulder. With that the evil creature presses forward towards the bard.
at Ottarr
Shift to Q-1
The brute continues to attempt to smash Sturdy into the ground, but Sturdy manages to stave off all attempts with ease. The creature manages to shake off the effects of Rin's spell, which causes it to lose its sense of equilibrium, causing it to fall to the ground.
at Sturdy, Attack 1: 14 vs AC, Missed!
20 Success!
Falls Prone
The very badly hurt parasite lashes out at Sturdy with renewed vigor, stabbing furiously with its obsidian spikes, overwhelming the goliaths defenses and scoring several nasty looking wounds.
Stand up
(recharged with conditions met) at Sturdy,
6; Failed!
As the creatures continue to attack, you notice that more and more of their flesh begins to wither and fall away, as the monsters continue to attack with their mouths clenched in pain...

Rin is up
"Who are your friends? Can you tell any more?"
Rin raises his orb and conjures illusory opponents to invade his enemies minds.
Those affected by Rin's illusion turn paranoidly back and forth as they swing wildly at the phantoms that haunt their minds (or what passes for minds), while the fast parasite nearly collapses into the water from the overwhelming pyschic pain.
Your attack hit Fast parasite 1, Black-skinned Brute 1, and the Foating Abomination. Black-skinned brute 1 is now Bloodied

Ordagg is up
Ordagg risks getting closer to the action.
He uses his hammer to direct magical fire around the closest giant.
Flame engulfs the brute, causing it to roar in pain, as Ordagg moves closer to the melee; his form blurred and difficult to track.
Your attack hit! If you take damage before the end of your next turn, Black-skinned Brute takes 14 fire damage.
The abomination reaches out to Sturdy with its tentacles, grasping him with its thorny appendages and draws him towards it, biting him and taking off a meaty chunk of flesh. The pain becames overwhelming, stunning the mighty warden.
As Sturdy is grabbed by the abomination, the black-skinned brute grabs him from it's clutches and slams him into the water, sending liquid everywhere, and then tosses him at Ordagg; the goliath projectile is a narrow miss, and he lands on his side in the water.

Ottarr is up and takes 10 ongoing acid damage (SE)
Ottarr raises his sword and attempts to catch his breath.
Ottarr raises his sword defiantly as the parasites move to surround him. One rushes to face him and slashes his side with its obsidian dagger, drawing blood.
The other, still unbalanced by Rin's spell, manuevers slowly to Ottarr's rear, lashing out with an underhanded strike to his back. After the blow is delivered, the creature manages to shake off Rin's enchantment, causing it to lose its balance and fall into the purifying waters...never to be seen again...

Also, looks like we need to knock these things prone into the water, so if you've got a power that can do so, use it now.

Evil - What is the trip mechanic in 4e, no books on me?
Yes, and I edited the last combat entry to show.
"Oh, bloody hell."
Rin looks anxiously at Ottar.
"Really bloody hell ..." as he looks at the advancing parasites.
Unable to back up any further, he does the only thing he can think of.
Sturdy slams his maul into the water calling forth the roots of the tree to strike back against these foes.
Rin lets his guard down as he conjures up a cloud of cold upon the parasite, who ducks in quickly under Rin's guard and stabs him viciously with its obsidian dagger. The cloud manages to envelop the creature however, slowing its movements. With a quick flip of his wrist, Rin blasts the creature back ten feet with the power of his orb.
Sturdy stands quickly after shaking off the effects of the poison and sends the tree roots through the stupid brute, skewering it as it makes a vain last attempt to break out, but dies, falling unceremoniously into the purifying water and promptly desolving...

Ordagg is up
Ordagg hums and thrusts his hand forward, ripping a hole in reality. Another tear appears behind Rin, and Ordagg's hand comes through, grabbing Rin and yanking him through the hole. And Ordagg tumbles out next to Ottar, where he immediately gets to work tending his wounds.
The abomination, having seen Ordagg and Rin switch places, floats over to the wizard and lashes out with its barbed tentacles, mercilessly whipping him. A wave of lethargy washes over Rin as the poison sets in...
The parasite skillfully approaches Ottarr, lashing out once with its dagger, before scampering closer to Ordagg, flailing wildly at the dwarf with its blades. Several attacks connect, leaving small pools of blood in the water.

Rin is up
As Ottarr falls due to the parasites blade, he collapses into the water, unconcious...
Attacked on two fronts and hauled through the a pocket universe, Rin is hardly feeling at his best. He does note that the water is demolishing the evil-doers and hopes against hope that it may help him.
Thoughtfully, he blasts at the abomination and sinks into the water.
Streaks of magical bolts pepper the abomination, causing it some annoyance. The creature still hangs eerily in the air, lashing and whipping its tentacles all over the place.
Your attack hit!

Sturdy's maul sprouts a thorny whip which reaches out towards the Floating Abomination wrapping around it and pulling into the spikes.
Ordagg tries to smash the parasite with his hammer.
Rin's head surfaces for a moment.
"Get them in the water. I feel better already. They won't."
Sturdy's thorny whip manages to wrap around the abomination, but the creature manages to pull itself free before he is able to pull it into the spikes.
Your attack missed.
The fast parasite lives up to its name as it defty avoids Ordaggs hammer strike, all the while drooling in anticipation...
Your attack missed.
The abomination continues to whip its tentacles wildly at Sturdy, slapping and cutting him with its appendages.

"Glurk"
The mixture of swimming and casting spells proves to be somewhat distracting, as Rin's missile flies wide of its target...or perhaps it's bad luck.

Ordagg looks over to Rin, and then up the tunnel, and then at the bodies floating in the water... He shrugs and steps over Ottar's body and swings his hammer wildly. "If it's my time, so be it, but none will remember Ordagg Blackaxe as a coward!"
"I'd rather you were around to do the remembering," mutters Rin as he flails hopefully in the water.
"Just shove it under water Ordagg, there's no need to get fancy."
Ordagg swings his hammer desperately at the annoying parasite, but misses.
The abomination seems to hesitate as it moves closer to Rin and Sturdy's body, until it plunges its tentacles into the water, hitting Rin with its barbs, but also crying out in pain from the purifying liquid.
The parasite continues to slice away at Ordagg, even as its body withers; it seems to be just barely holding together...
