Val's arrow goes zinging in to the undergrowth and the response is quite interesting as 3 thick projectiles come flying back at her.
The first glnces off of her bow AC 18 and she sees that the projectiles are actually snakes as the next two clamp down on her. AC 19 for 8 points and AC 19 for 6 points: 2 Fort rolls; DC 18 or lose 8 {5+3} points of strength.
Rigging heads back up and after having dropped down a bit he is now at 50 feet above the trees.
Up ahead Apollo begins to see signs of recent traffic heading the same way they are heading.
Bart moves up with Swirl towing him and joins Rigging.
Near the front Nez hears Val's comments from behind him followed qickly by the sound of a bowstring and Val's and Cosmo's cries of pain.
Mykael and Cosmo both have snakes fly out of the bushes at them as well and while Mykael's misses AC 16 Cosmo feels his snake clamp down on his leg painfully AC 22 for 5 points: Fort DC 18 or lose 2 points of strength.

Rigging sees his friends under attack. He decides to try and find out what is attacking them. He says to Bart, "You might want to get back down there. Our friends are under some kind of attack and you can't do much floating around."
Rigging will activate his invisibility ring and move towards the area where the snakes are coming from.

Both Val and Cosmo fight off the poison that was injected into them (Cosmo, I rolled for you) and Val yanks the troublesome snakes from her body and throws them to the ground, where they are quickly joined by others that soon encircle Val, Mykael, and Cosmo hoods flared and swaying from side to side upright on their slender bodies.
Each of the nine snakes attack their nearest foe each sending a stream of poison jetting through the air toward their targets faces. While seven of the nine snakes miss their mark, both Cosmo and Mykael are struck in the face with the viscous fluid (two natural 20s) and take 2 points of damage and need to make fortitude saves DC 18 or lose strength points Cosmo -4, Mykael -6 points of strength
From where Nez is he can hear that something is going on and even sees something small dart of the bushes and hit Val and Cosmo but he can't really tell what they are. Trying to be helpful he sends two crossbow bolts zipping into the brush hoping to hit something.
Bart asks that Swirl take him back down through the trees toward the fighting (will take at least 3 rounds as you are over 160 ft up and you must go down through a bunch of trees.)
Rigging HEARS the sounds of what might be combat coming from down below and he too begins his descent, hoping to find out what is going on and that he is in time to help. (will take at least 3 rounds as you are over 160 ft up and you must go down through a bunch of trees.)
Appolo hears the commotion and the curses and begins to fall back to where Val and the others are looking out for snakes and the such on his way.
Cosmo takes a moment and even though he is being attacked manages to change form and there is suddenly a trogledyte looming over Val and Mykael.

Mykael closes his eyes and mouth just in time to keep the poison from affecting him,(fort save = 19).
He quickly wipes the poison from his face and opens his eyes to see the Trogledyte.

Rigging continues making his way down through the trees, moving a bit faster, very intent on locating whoever is behind or in charge of the attack he is hearing below him. (New Altitude -90 feet from the ground less than fair visibility of area below.)
Bart, being used as a shield, does his best to direct Swirl to miss the biggest of the branches in his quicker than prudent descent. And while he is mostly successful, Bart takes quite a few brances to the arms neck face and body from medium and smaller branches that swirl just ploughs straight through. 10 points damage (new altitude - 50 feet above ground fairly good visibility of the area below.)
Nez and Apollo arrives back to the others and finds his friens apparently surrounded by what appear to be a bunch of 3-4 foot long hooded cobras.
Val sends three arrows off and the first skewers her first target, leaving it daed and the second arrow also hits its target squarely, eliciting a shapr hiss.
Closing his eyes to fight the powerful poison, Mykael misses the fact that the troglodyte is actually Cosmo in a new form and blasts it with a lightening bolt.
Cosmo momentarily relishes his new form's power and strentgh and sends several bolts of energy streaking from his hand and two of his opponents are fried lifeless, only to suddenly feel every piece of his new body go to red alert pain as Mykael's lightening bolt rips into him from close range. 24 points damage - Reflex save DC 17 NO dex bonus as you are completely flatfooted for this attack for 12 points
Ari concentrates for a moment and then tenses a bit as he remembers that all the animals seemed to have been fleeing the area from something earlier and then feels the unmistakeabe touch of another creature's mind, coming from somewhere behind him.
The six remaining snakes all sway for a moment or two and then lunge at their targets. One at Cosmo, two at Val and three at Mykael, but all six miss with their attacks.

Assuming it's something friendly, when Ari knows it can hear him and respond, "Thank you for answering my call. We have enemies in the somewhere over there" pointing to where the vipers have been coming from " and we need them distracted or destroyed. There vipers appearing from there, so be careful."

Noticing the clothing on the Troglodyte, Mykael quickly realizes his fast reacting mistake.
"Damn! Sorry Cosmo, scared the hell out of me. Figured there was something bigger behind the snakes, probably still is."
Mykael draws his blade and hacks at a snake.

Cosmo smiles as two of his enemies fall to his magic Missile spell. He smile fades quickly as one of his comrades casts a lightning bolt into his back. Luckily for him he is able to dodge most of the damage (reflex natural 20). He looks around for the offender, and hears Mykaels' apology. He gives his fellow spell user a quick smile and then turns his attention back to the snakes.
Cosmo casts another Magic Missile spell, defensively; targeting 2 of the creatures, doing 11 & 8 pts of damage.

The ranger shakes her head as she finally emerges from the comma she strangely found herself in. Seeing several of the others surrounded by snakes, Ashira sighs. Casting Barkskin on herself, she bolts toward the frey, swords ready to dispatch some snakes. As she travels, she calls over her shoulder "John, once we finish off the snakes, I need you to play medic."

DM Kent d3=1 Monday January 8th, 2007 9:39:21 PM
Nez and Mykael each drop a snake while Cosmo and Val each drop another pair
Rigging now has a great view of below him as he reaches a height of about 20 feet from the ground.
Swirl pushes Bart over toward Val, just as Ashira bolts into the area.
Cosmo feels the poison still rushing through his veins and takes another 1 point of strength loss.
Appolo sees nothing overt like a YT or anything living that might be directing the snakes, but he does catch the shimmer of something from the dense bushes from where the snakes emerged.
Ari gets a sense of a quiet "I'm here" just as the last snake makes to strike at Mykael. At that very second there is a flash of something and the snake is stopped mid strike and then whipped up against the nearest tree. There is another flash of movement and just ust barely visible, due to its natural camoflage is an unusual looking creature. Ari gets a sense of satisfaction and then then distase as the creature looks down at the snake.
The mottled colored beast is about 80 pounds and while currently upright appears to be very mobile on all fours as well. It has a very wolfish shape to its head, though its eyes are slightly more to the front of its head and it doesnt have an overly long nose. It is extremely lean and well muscled and also looks to have a number of simian features as well.

Noticing the new creature and its actions, Mykael steps back slightly and looks it over.
He lowers his weapon slowly and deliberately, and calmly states, "Thanks," in common.
Ghem, there is a new creature here. Do you know anything about what kind of creature it is, or its abilities, or can it speak? It just helped me. Is it normal to help humanoids?
Surveying the area slowly, Mykael comments, "That was new. Anyone see who was controlling them? They would have had to been given commands."
Ghem, you cant sense anything near that isnt us? or this creature? A Yuan-Ti that guided these snakes?

Cosmo is happy as the last snake is vanquished. The poison courses though his blood and he feels himself getting even weaker. He is so weak no that he can barely stand. He feels like what it must fee to be very old. Not knowing what else to do he sits down, waiting for the poison to run its course.

The ranger looks over the combat with interest...especially at the newcomer. Giving it her full attention, she tries to think back to whether she's seen anything like it before (Know. nature=21)...which is doubtful, seeing as their on a totally new island and all. Hearing Nezamil's call, Ashira points out Cosmo. "Nez, I think he needs healing from the snake's poison. Can you handle that? If not, John and I can delay the poison until you have the proper spells."
As she waits for the party to be healed, Ashira shifts around nervously, not liking being out in enemy territory for so long (Spot=27, Listen=31).

Seeing that the party mage (Cosmo) is looking a little down, John heads over toward him. Not really willing to risk being caught up in another attack, the ranger leaves his invisibility ring active. Strange, but he's actually getting used to traveling around invisibly...their are a few nice points to having a rich patron... Pulling out his healing wand, the invisible John clears his throat as he nears Cosmo. "Would you like some healing, sir?" (12 pts. returned)

Rigging Tuesday January 9th, 2007 12:22:23 PM
Rigging lands on the ground and sees that Cosmo is being treated. He will check on his wife to make sure she is uninjured. After he approaches the new creature cautiously. He looks around to make sure that the creature is really alone and then says slowly, "Hello. Do you speak common?"
If the creauture answers, Rigging will start a dialog with him, trying find out its intentions etc. If it doesn't, Rigging will look for signs of intelligence, and ask if anyone knows what the creature is and has a way to communicate with it."

Cosmo's near collapse sends worry through the rest of the swords and John pops in to heal some of the physical damage. and while cosmo is indeed weak and affect by the poison it doesn't seem to be getting any worse now.
Bart begins to smash one of the dead snakes near Val having missed out on the actual live targets.
Mykael, Nez, Ari, Ashira and Rigging along with Ghem show great interest in the newcomer, though nooen seems to know quite what he is.
Ghem reports back to Mykael that the creature seems to be quite intelligent though of a sort that he is not accustomed to communicating with. Ghem reflects that it deals alot with interpreting colors and senses that go along with emotions.
As Ari begins to try and get his new friend to inspect the bushes his first words are met with a quizical tilt of the head and a sense of puzzlement, though Ari then feels a light push in his mind as he repeats what he wants done and the critter darts into the brush and moments later, you all hear a little yip and then he comes back out holding a palm sized crystal that has a kind of sickly yellow tint to it. The creature walks up to Ari and tentatively reaches out to hand him the stone. Ari can see what appears to be a rather painful burn on what would be the palm of his paw.
The as Rigging approaches and begins to speak at the fellow, it steps behind Ari for protection and then looks quizically from one to the other. Ari gets a sense of pain and puzzlement and satisfaction eminate from the beast.
Mykael -- AC 27, HP 57/59 Tuesday January 9th, 2007 10:13:52 PM
"Quite an interesting creature. I would love to study it more. However, we should get moving. Ari, how long can you keep it around?"
"What is the gem?"
Mykael prepares to move out.
Ghem, we need to get moving again, just as soon as Rigging says too.
Can you communicate with it? I am not sure how long this creature that Ari summoned will stay, but I would like to learn more about it, however, we dont have time. Perhaps, if he stays a while, we will get enough time to.

Rigging looks around and says, "I am going to try and scout things out again. Please refrain from getting attacked for a couple of minutes."
Rigging launches himself into the air again trying to gain altitude to take a look around.
Swirl goes with him.

Appolo steps out of the jungle after scouting the immediate area and finding nothing of interest.He does so just in time to see Rigging take off.He looks over the strange creature"Hello everyone.Are we having apicnic.May I suggest we get moving.Something is going down.You know outside of those snakes and this creature there's no animal or insect life in the area.We need to get moving."
Ari HP 72 AC 16 Wednesday January 10th, 2007 6:20:52 PM
"I will have influence over it for only a short time.
It seems to understand me, but I'm also sensing/feeling some thing from it. So it might take some time to communicate with it."
"It seems to have found something from where the snakes were coming from." Reaching down Ari looks at the crystal and takes a hold of it if he doesn't feel threatened himself.
"Thank you"
When Riggings comes over to take a look, Ari says "friend" and feels/projects a feeling of no fear, or nothing to fear. Ari pays attention to his friends response in anticipation of whether he has to calm him even further.
Without taking his eyes of the new creature Ari will ask, "Does anything recognize this, our friend found this in the brush over yonder." Ari posture indicating where the snakes had come from.
DM kent Wednesday January 10th, 2007 8:17:47 PM
At Ari's reassurance, the beast comes forward and takes a turn sniffing at each of the Swords' lower legs and then sits quietly just at the edge of the path near the trees. Once away from the group it looks at its burnt paw and then starts licking it. It looks up as Ghem comes near and tentatively reaches out to touch him.
Cosmo watches as Nez approaches hoping that something will help him, other than time, and for a moment he feels the healing glow spread through him, but though he feels better, the weakness is still very much present. While some of the party relaxes a few moments and takes care of wounds, others are chomping at the bit to get moving feeling that time is of an essence and Rigging returns to his arial scouting position and in a a few moments is back above the trees where he takes off rapidly to get even higher for a better view. (what sorts of things are you looking for and what direction are you looking N,S,E,W).

Seeing the animal, the ever curious ranger drops his invisibility and moves toward the creature. "Ari, tell it that I'd like to help it if it will let me..." John calls as he fishes out his wand and waits to see if the creature will let him heal it. (20hp healed)
Ari HP 72 AC 16 Thursday January 11th, 2007 7:41:35 AM
Indicating to John that it should be safe, Ari says, "Go ahead John"
"Ghem, what do you sense from our new friend?"
Letting his friend know that John is someone safe, Ari takes some time to examine his new friend.
"Is there something you are called? We are new to the area, what have you seen while you've been here? How much of the area do you know?"
Rigging d20+5=17 Thursday January 11th, 2007 8:42:23 AM
Rigging soars higher and higher but activates his ring of invisiblity to keep his location a secret from prying eyes. He will scan in all 4 directions looking for pyramids, clearings, trails, exploding volcanos, smoke, lava etc. When he gets enough height to clear the village, he will open the Wayfinder and use its 10x lens to even take a closer look at anything he finds of interest.

That should put him about 1/2 mile ahead, and then he will head back at a more leisurely pace, reporting in anything he notices. Figure his height around 250' high.

Mykael laughs as he hears Nezamil's comments about a gnome riding on a dwarf's shoulders. "Cosmo, I would be careful. Nezamil has been tall for a while, but still isnt that used to it. If you look closely, there is a bump on his forehead from hitting things. Imagine what it would be like for you up there on his shoulders."
"As for the poison, it was probably taken care of by the spell, however, the damage to your system has already been done. I will probably take your body a while to recover from it."
"According to Ghem, the creature communicates is quite intelligent, however, it communicates in a from of colors and emotions."
Mykael watches as John attempts to heal the wound, "Wait a second John, Nezamil, you have more healing experience than I, but a burn wound is cauterized, therefore, dont we have to cut the burn part off for magical healing to work right? Otherwise, wont it heal permanently the way it is now as scared flesh?"
"I have a Comprehend Languages scroll we can use to understand him, however, I dont have a Tongues spell avaliable. Ghem, does he seem to understand you?"

Kent Thursday January 11th, 2007 8:56:41 PM
The creature is reassured by Ari's communication and allows John to come forward. When inspected the wound seen is fairly minor but probably very painful as the whole palm is red and blitered over. At a touch of the wand the wound all but vanishes just leaving a slight pink area in the middle of the palm. As the healing is finished Ari is nearly overcome by the burst of color and emotion eminating from his new friend as he looks at his hand and then at John and the wand.
Ari gets the sense of the beast's name as some thing like Bluerimsaroundgreenandbrownspots.
Ghem responds that he can communicate with him after a fashion, but it is fairly slow going. It seems that she and her tribe live in the forest by the fiery rocks, but moved inland two days past to avoid the coming of the rivers of fire.
Rigging finally gets high enough to get a decent view of the island and to the northwest, in the distance, he can see what seems to be a very large clearing right up next to some mountains. The smoke seems to be coing from deeper in the mountains and perhaps from three different places.
To the north east, in the direction they were heading he sees a smaller clearing but about the same size as the last Pyramid clearing. It seems to be litterally awash with figures moving hither and thither. The distance seems to be roughly 6 more miles by ground. To the south west from where he is he can see a much smaller clearing that has smaller huts etc which he recognizes as one of the human villages. And just beyond that and slightly more south he can see the beach where the sword is undergoing repairs.
Swirls vantage point yeilds only slightly more information. That being the movement of YT and humans toward the Hooded Pyramid.
Ashira Thursday January 11th, 2007 10:09:44 PM
Ashira looks over at Appolo and winks. "Be patient little brother. Rigging's taking a look around. We'll be better able to decide what to do once he gets back."
The ranger looks over at her ward and smiles. John certainly has a way with animals... I remember when I used to have that connection with nature too. But too often now a days it's been like a non-stop killing spree. I really should find some time and get back to nature.
John (AC15 HP35/35) NPC Nellie Thursday January 11th, 2007 10:12:46 PM
John smiles as his healing cures the creature. It feels good being a necessary part of the team. Oh sure, he wasn't the greatest with his weapons just yet, but he didn't see any of the others complaining when he makes his round with his wand. The ranger chuckles silently. Wonder if I should start charging a per use fee or something like that. He he he...Ashira'd owe me her armor in no time flat.

Rigging Friday January 12th, 2007 8:23:38 AM
Rigging will study the pyramid more closely taking the Wayfinder from his eye and then replacing it. He is looking for landmarks and other navigation points so he can find his way to it. He tries to gauge how far it is.
He then goes down and reports in. "I think we need to hurry. I see one of the pyramids and it is alive with snakemen and humans. They seem to be moving towards the pyramid which means they could be trying to leave. I don't mind that but I don't know if we can free some slaves before they do.
Cosmo, What do you think of you and I flying ahead and causing a distraction. Maybe some of the humans can run if the snake men are dodging fireballs. We would be exposed but it might be worth it."

Rigging talks of moving on with he and Cosmo flying a bit ahead. Rigging believes that the trip will take around 2-3 hours more travel depending on what terrain they run into and any other distractions they might encounter along the way.
Bluerimsaroundgreenandbrownspots (Blue for short) walks up to Rigging as he returns and reaches out to him as if to touch him and them moves his hand from one place to another and then to another. Rigging realizes that Blue is pretty much pointing at each one of his magic items. It is then that everyone realizes that the "glow" is once again pretty strong.

Ashira, lead them in that direction.(Points out the area where they are heading which is towards where he say the snakesmen and humans)I think you still have a couple of hours marching by foot. Comso, Swirl and I will scout the path and look for ambushes and other trouble. I will send Swirl back with a note if we see any."
Rigging and Cosmo go to the tree tops and start moving towards the area. Swirl stays lower dodging trees but looking for ambushes. Since his speed is 2.5 time Rigging and Cosmo's he should be able to keep up.
DM Kent Monday January 15th, 2007 6:57:38 PM
The group moves out albeit a bit slowly as they are having to cut their way through some pretty heavy undergrowth and keep an eye out for surprises. Rigging and Cosmo fly ahead which seems to be easier than walking for Cosmo(2 points returned) the rest will come back at a rate of 1 point per day or double that with complete rest.)
As you head in the direction Riggin has detailed to you there is a nerve wracking screech heard from the bushes where your new friend was sitting. Ari feels a dark black and red with yellow tendrils emanate from Blue's mind to accompany the shriek.
It is then that you hear/feel the loud/strong drumming. The vibrations are so strong that the ground seems to vibrate with each strike.
THUMP< THUMP< THUMP ... P A U S E... THUMP< THUMP< THUMP ... P A U S E... THUMP< THUMP< THUMP ... P A U S E... THUMP< THUMP< THUMP ... P A U S E... THUMP< THUMP< THUMP ... P A U S E... THUMP< THUMP< THUMP ... P A U S E...
Silence/stillness.
Blue stops shrieking and without even looking back at you, takes off into the trees, actually swinging from branch to branch and running along limbs.
Ari feels the stone in his hand begin to grow warm, not uncomfortably yet, but if it continues.....
From above nothing untoward is seen and while you hear the dull thumps you feel no vibration.
Ashira Monday January 15th, 2007 10:51:14 PM

Nothing else untoward happens over the next 2 hurs of travel and Rigging stops you approximately 500 yards out from the clearing. There are no more drumming sounds no other screams from anyone, though Blue has not returned. Periodically you have felt like somethin/one was watching you but nothing is ever spotted that would support your feelings.
During Rigging's flight he sees what would seem to be several larger groups of individuals heading toward the "Hood's" clearing though through the undergrowth it is hard to say what the groups are made up of.
Ashira Tuesday January 16th, 2007 10:48:25 PM
Ashira nods at the others. She speaks in low tones. "I agree. We should try and take out the temple again. But it will probably be harder this go round. They'll have an idea of what we're up to. So we're going to have to hit hard and fast." Ashira sighs. No matter how much we plan...we're playing on their court..things were bound to get ugly once or twice.
Ari HP 72 AC 16 Wednesday January 17th, 2007 7:25:33 AM
"I wonder if these crystals maybe drive off the animal life somehow and that's what we might have picked up from Blue."
"I feel like he's still with us, all though I'm not sure."
"There's not a way to teleport into the middle of things, or set any kind of ambush on our part, is there?"
Rigging d20+5=23 Wednesday January 17th, 2007 12:40:55 PM
OOC Kent, I had Swirl flying amongst the trees in my last post. Could he identify the other groups? Not sure I would have just have left potential enemies at my back.
When Rigging gets to the clearing, he will activate his invisiblity ring and gain height. (Two rounds going straight up, unless spotted and attacked) He will take a good look around the clearing looking for enemy sentries and potential groups to attack.
He will then dive back down, to report his findings to the others.

(OOC: No enemies at your back all were heading in the direction of the pyramid clearing but from areas different than yours. Swirl would tell you what you could guess on your own that the groups are a combination of YT and Humans.)

" if we have a few moments before attack we should add protective and helpful spells to ourselves"

Bart Thursday January 18th, 2007 3:01:49 AM
Bart uses his ring of ;evitation to pop now and then above the trees to see if they are still on course
DM Kent d20+7=25 d20+7=16 d20+7=27 d20+7=19 Thursday January 18th, 2007 7:24:57 AM
Bart finds that not only are they on course But as he pops up out of the trees he realizes they are very close as they continue moving on.
In fact with the abnormal movement of popping out of the trees to see what is going on he realises there is a good possibility that he might be seen at this point.
Rigging turns invisible and moves closer to the clearing moving higher as he does in order to get a better look. What he sees upsets and worries him.
Below him he sees a major undertaking and amount of activity. There must be close to 300 humans in the area. The majority of them are penned up like the cattle they are and are being gaurded by 25 armed humans as well.
All over the place are Yaun Ti. It seems that there are nearly 130 that are visible and who knows how many are in the shelters and the Pyramid itself.
The Pyramid itself is the picture of a disturbed ant bed, with Yt and humans scurying all over around and in and out of it. There apears to be three humans shackled at the top with several objects lying around them. At very regular intervls the three scream very loudly as if in pain, the top of the pyramid glows brightly for several moments and then everything is quiescent for anotuer 5 minutes or so.
Ari finds that the stone he is jolding gets very hot nearly to the point of burning and then cools down again , only to begin the cycle all over again.
As you discuss your next moves the slight sound of a stick snapping can be heard from behind you.
Ari d20=2 Thursday January 18th, 2007 7:33:07 AM
Whispering for those around him Ari asks, "How should we pair up."
"This thing we picked up is cycling between extremely warm and normal"
At the sound of the twig break Ari turns to look in the area. (2 unmodified, mouse died hard to look up and out of time. :( )

With a look at Ashira " they used fire magic at the last temple ......before we attack i'll cast protective aura's on you and another of the warrior's ....perhaps Big Bart.....he got burned at the last battle "
" lets try and gang up on the leaders and also use mass damage magic's on the lesser snakes "

Rigging Thursday January 18th, 2007 5:02:59 PM
Rigging hears the crack of the twig and reactivates his invisiblity ring. He starts to circle around to see what could be causing the noise and will have Swirl do a fast flyby as well.

"Ok folks.Looks like we're out numbered at least 50 to 1.The Yaunti even have armed and armoured humans warking with them.We can't luanch an attack.We just don't have the numbers.We need a small army for this job.Oh Ari that Crystal of yours is probably of the same type they use in thier pyramids.Time to head back."
He then hears the twig snap behind them in the jungle and turn toward the sound"Ok folks someone or something is behind us.We may have been spptted.Get ready."Drawing his sword he moves back further into the jungle away from th sound.

Mykael gives Val a surprised look at her statement, and then looks at the rest of the group.
"Out numbered or not. We are thier betters. Quick and precise strikes could achieve some of our goals. They are most likely trying to leave, they are hurring and probably not expecting, nor are they prepared for an assault."
"A single group of 3 could most likely, handle the armed human guards and free the 300. The rest could make a quick assault on the pyramid. If its quick and quiet, they could free the 3 on top and destroy the teleporting ability in one stroke. All timing it with the freeing of the 300 humans. Then we beat a hasty retreat leaving traps and magic of our own for once, to thin out thier numbers and slow thier pursuit."
"There are other options al..."
"What was that?" Mykael whispers as he looks to the rear.

DM Kent Thursday January 18th, 2007 10:13:04 PM
As the sound of the snapped twig disapears a low voice calls out. "Don' go a killin me now. It's me Romeo."
As comments and thoughts are bandied about Rigging remembers something that had been bothering him. Lots of YT were entering the Pyramid, almost none were coming out.
Apollo's perusal of the situation shows the same trend but he also saw a pile of older mundane weaponry piled off to one side of the clearing.
Ashira Thursday January 18th, 2007 10:51:58 PM
Ashira listens carefully as options are tossed out. She shakes her head sadly as Mykael mentions an attack. "I don't think so. If the Yuan Ti come out, the numbers would be overwhelming. We might be able to free up the slaves, but that'd probably be about all." She looks over at Rigging. "What do you think, dear?"

" lets try and surprise them......we need to save those people that are caged up .....we cannot allow the snakes to take them as slaves " growls Nezamil

When Romeo shows up"Hope you brought an army with you."
Rigging Friday January 19th, 2007 11:01:29 PM
Rigging looks and listens to all the different opinions of the group. He sighs deeply for a minute and then says, "We will attack. I will not leave those humans behind to be eaten or sacrificed. This group's foundation and beginnings was the opposition of slavery. It was a different kind of slavery. The slavery of spirit...the slavery of freewill. Ga'al's slavery. Is this situation different?"
Rigging tries to make eye contact with each of his friends. "Appolo, You asked Where is the army. I see 300 possible recruits in those pens. Even if they can't fight, we will give them a chance to survive. Are you with me?"
"OK we need a plan and we need one fast. We only have one goal. To free the slaves. I don't care about the pyramid. Let the snakemen run. If we trap them here, then they will fight to the death. Let them have their escape route for now. We can always close it later.
We need a team to rescue the slaves, we need stand off fire power and a team to cover the slaves rear guard. Anyone have any ideas?"
Kent, I think a map of the area could really be helpful about now.
Bart Saturday January 20th, 2007 4:06:30 AM
I agree Rigging, if someone cast invisibility on some of us that party cab do a rescue attempt through the air Swirl could tow me if i use my ring.
Do you have some other idears or info Romeo?
Ashira Saturday January 20th, 2007 4:04:50 PM
The ranger sighs. "Alright. But first we need to think out our attack. If we just rush in there we'll be dead quicker than you can blink..." Ashira looks over at Nezamil. "Hey big guy, anyway you can use that wall of stone of yours to seal those snakes into the temple? That would tip the odds in our favor. And we're going to need distractions...lots of them. I really don't want to get bogged down in a full blown battle. We need to make it a quick in and out kind of thing." Ashira looks around at the others, gathering suggestions.
OOC: Agreed, a map would be super helpful.

Appolo can't belive what he's hearing"Ok.Free the prisoners.Well we'll need to move around to where they're.Then Myself and Ashira can sneak in.The Wall of stone goes up between the slave pens and the temple.Val Bart you guys take out any guards.Mykeal you support vlanthe and bart.Swirl and Gham need to go to the otherside of the compound and make noise cuase trouble before we make our move.Cosmo if you could drop some of your friends on the otherside as well that would be helpfulRomeo you find us a back trail out of here back to the ship One we can use to move quickly on with lots of people.I doubt the prisoners are going to be in any condition to do much fghting.How does the sound We could also use some fog once we get the prisoners freed and moving Smoke would be good as well."

"I think we could get the 3 on top of the pyramid also. If someone goes invisible and flys there, then we we attack, they will be able to free the 3 and fly away with them. Assuming they can carry them all, it may take two people. Not sure how we get the chains off them, picking the locks or breaking them. There doesnt appear to be a guard up there, so no one to kill. Just need to sneak up there, and use our attack as a diverson. Its risky, but should work."
"I am willing to volunteer, but I dont have fly or invisibility."

In order to get a better idea of what you are facing Apollo and Rigging head out again to do one last bit of recon with the hopes perhaps sketching out what they see and formulate a plan of action.
Riggin hits the air again and Apollo makes his way with Romeo along the ground route.
Whe they get situated and take a second look they notice that the number of YT has decreased significantly and more large groups are heading toward the pyramid.
After thair last reconoiter they head back and the three of them sketch out a reasonable map of the clearing and where the inhabitants were when they last saw them.
(Map is sent.)

Ashira looks over at the spellcasters. "I don't suppose we have a few teleports?" she queries as she examines the situation. "Otherwise, I suppose it's up to invisible fliers like has been suggested."
The ranger shakes her head at Mykael's suggestion of the top of the pyramid. "I don't mind trying to rescue them, but I will not allow our force to be split like that. If the Yuan Ti come boiling out of that temple whoever is on top will be a world of trouble." She looks over at Cosmo. "I don't suppose you could summon a few of your ape friends to the top of the temple and instruct them to bring the hostages to us?"
Cosmo (as Troglodyte; AC 25; HP 56/63; Str 4) Monday January 22nd, 2007 8:55:42 PM
Cosmo listens as the pyramid and its surroundings are described. He thinks for a moment and decides where he will best serve the group.
"Yes, Ashira I can do that. As a matter of fact I think the top of the pyramid is a very good place for me. I can fly close to the top and summon some creatures to take care of the YT on top of the pyramid. Once it is secure I can land and start casting spells to support the Swords that are on the ground. I have multiple ways of leaving the top of the pyramid in a hurry, so I should not trapped."

" we should use some mass damage magic on a groups of snakemen and use more targeted spells at the leader types"
" and with more of them coming towards the temple from the jungle it seems like they are fleeing.....we should hit them hard and fast "
" i'll add some protective magic to several of you ......not to mention i can put up a wall of stone to either divide the enemy or possible surround the penned up people so they would be safe from the snakes and or spell damage collateral"

"We should work our way around to the other side. We need to show ourselves by the slaves. Free them first, and protect them. Romeo can lead them out, while we continue or cover the retreat depending out how we are doing."
"I think a stone wall running from the pens to the pyramid, or at least as much of that as you can get, would help alot. It would allow for some shielding from direct missle fire, and force them to go around. If we can get them to bunch up cause of the wall, then area effect spells get more, plus we would be able to guard our flanks easier."
"I also have a number of Web spells avaliable to slow down thier advance or even stop them cold."
"Ghem needs to stay in the trees, to alert us of any that may be re-inforcing from our rear. He can fly a constant patrol route."
"The apes are a good idea, however, there are guards up there and they will need to be dealt with. I dont think the Yuan-Ti will kill the 3 on the pyramid, until the situation is dire. Since, it appears they are using them to power the pyramid in some way."
"I am not sure how long you can keep the apes around Cosmo, so that is something you may want to think about also. You may need some bison or something to transport the 3, if you can save them. Since giving the pain they appear to be in, I am not sure if they will be able to walk on thier own."
"Battle Mistress, what do you think?"
Mykael smiles at Nezamil, "Thanks, by the way, would you shrink already! I cant pat you on the head when you are that tall."

(Each square in the map is indeed 5 ft. The pyramid here is over 75 feet tall. When you stopped you were approximately 300 yards from the clearing with a straight line to G32)
Final discussions are made and suggestions about strategies are put forth. and finally Rigging comes out with the finalized game plan.
The last decision to make is to make their way through the trees to a point near the perimeter of the temple clearing or to get to the path and use it.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. The path would be much faster and easier to travel and probably quieter, but might lead to a earlier than wanted discovery or contact.
Going through the woods would bee slower going and possibly noisier but the chance of surprise could be a big factor.
There was also a third option brought up by Mykael about coming in from the other side. That way would definately take more time, maight increase the chance of discovery, but could also lead to surprise and an easier prisoner freeing.
Mykael -- AC: 27, HP: 70/59 (Aid) Tuesday January 23rd, 2007 10:46:58 PM
"If we move around to the other side, we stand a much better chance of surprise and are close to the slave immediately. Thus we can protect and free then from the start."
"The snakes know we are interested in protecting the humans, therefore, at first sight of us, may attempt to kill them."
"If we choose to go around, we need to stay away from the edge, so there is less chance of being detected and we will need swirl to stay in view of the the clearing to keep us up to date on what is happening. I suggest him, since he is the hardest to see and has direct contact with Rigging."
"I think the snakes are fleeing, and we need to be ready to rush in, no matter where we are at, if they get ready to move the slaves."
"Ghem can move ahead of us to warn us of any sentries in the woods. Since he can hide so well, while moving through the tree tops and still can sense everything around him."

The plan sounds good to me, it is a easy plan, and easy plans are mostly the best. If time and opportunity permits maybe we can close down this pyramid as well
Ari hp 72 AC 16 Wednesday January 24th, 2007 7:31:54 AM
"Val, I can join you with arrows to start, and then if anyone comes to engage us I can then take melee. I will of course have some spells to use too.
Cosmo I had been meaning to ask, what's the advantage of being in that form?"
(ooc we've recharged since the last battle, right? I will also add in my spell list next post.)
Ashira (AC26, HP 112/112) Woodland Stride, Resist Energy, Wednesday January 24th, 2007 8:00:50 AM
Ashira frowns a little at Rigging's plan. That was a lot of enemy ground to cover... Still, they have to get there somehow. Readying her equipment, Ashira looks over at Val. "I'll take the axe Val. Bart would probably be the best choice, but he's much more powerful with his current sword. Unless you want it Nez..." Ashira chuckles at the big dwarf's question. "Oh, you bet...I've always wanted to know what it would be like to scrap my head across the tree tops!" She continues in a more serious tone. "Yes, Enlarge person would be nice."
Ashira looks over at John. "Ok, John. Stick close, but stay out of the action. This is going to be an ugly one." Ashira hands her ranger protoge a potion. "I want you to use this Fly potion when we charge. I really don't want you on the ground when the battle starts."

" sound advice Mykael "
" what say you Captain ??"
With a sly grin at Ashira " ok at soon as the captain gives us the word i'll make bump ya head on some trees .....it's a great veiw "
" as for the axe it's a might small for me to use effectively"
Kneeling down Nezamil picks up a small pebble and pulls out a empty potion vial ......making sure the pebble fits in the empty vial he quickly invokes Domi divine power onto the small pebble and quickly stuffs it in the vial and stoppers it(casting deeper darkness on the pebble)(spell duration is ongoing but its effects are suppressed)

"Luckily I hate the bow enchanted for ship to ship combat. I can shoot an arrow clear over the pyramid from here without any difficulty. Once we get to the catacombs I'm going to inquire about some goggles that help me see long distance." Val says as she hands Ashira the golden axe.

Cosmo (as Troglodyte; AC 25; HP 56/63; Str 4) Wednesday January 24th, 2007 8:02:41 PM
Cosmo waits for some more direction from Rigging on which battle tactic the group will use. He goes over his spell list, preparing his order for casting. He also checks on his Rods as they will come in handy soon."
"Ari as a Troglodyte it increases the toughness of my skin to make me harder to hit (OOC natural armor bonus of +6). Plus it helps increase my movement to keep up with you big folk (OOC movement of 30' vs. Halfling's 20').
"Rigging, with my Rod of Enlarge I can cast 3 fireballs from quite a long range. In fact the range on my fireballs using the Rod is almost 1/3 of a mile -- 1600 feet. Once you give the go ahead I can take to the air and launch a few fireballs at the massed groups near the pyramid to create a distraction. They won't even know where they came from. Then we can move in for the attack. I will try to free the chained individuals on the pyramid."

Rigging Wednesday January 24th, 2007 9:24:14 PM
Rigging says, "OK I want to attack in 15 minutes. I am hopeful that more of the snake men will leave and reduce our odds to more manageable numbers. I want 2 groups. The first group will contain Val, Appolo, Romeo, Mykael and Ari. Your job is to free the slaves from the pen, not the ones on the pyramid. If you can get them to fight, so much the better but in not, send them out of harms way. Then get back to us. I want you to start moving in that direction now and attack when you get the signal. The signal will be our attack on the camp.
The rest of our job is to attack and kill as many of the snakemen as possible. I want the first attacks to be on massed groups of the Yuan-ti. Hitting them with fireballs, mass spells and general destruction. I want the fighters of the group to hit the closest snake men and keep them off the spell users backs.
Cosmo, I want two summonings before the general attack. If you can enlarge them, so much the better, but the more intitial mass choas we can create the better chance the slaves have to get away. This sounds cruel but leave the slaves on the pyramids for last. If we can save them, great but if we cut off the retreat of the Snakemen, they might only fight harder.
Nezamil, you will have to use your best judgement. Still a wall of stone screening the slaves might be a good move."
Rigging looks at all of the Wildcards,"Numbers and terrain are on their side. If the slaves start fighting we might have a chance to drive them off, but if they don't realize we will most likely have to retreat. I don't want any heroic stands here today. If you are being overwhelmed, run away. We can always come back. OK lets move people. Attack starts in about 15 minutes."
DM Kent Wednesday January 24th, 2007 9:54:43 PM
Plans are finalized with two separate strike forces with one group circling around the clearing to came at the slave pen from the other side with another more abrupt attack happening form the opposite side, with the hopes of drawing attention from the pens and the freedom run.
Best guess makes the trip around to the other side of the clearing about a 10 minute jaunt. Final touches are prepared, spells cast weapons are checked and last minute directions given. And within 5 minutes the Harriet Tubmen group gets on its way.
(OOC: These posts should reflect the last five minutes the group is together, and your positioning frior to the launching of the attack. Please make sure to include coordinates where you are starting from. Once I have that info I will update the map and begin combat either tomorrow or Friday.)
Mykael -- AC: 27, HP: 70/59 (Aid) Thursday January 25th, 2007 1:14:25 AM
"I doubt the humans will fight, mostly because they dont have any weapons. Perhaps they will be able to get some from all the snakes we kill."
"My Group, I think if we can work around to the edge of that path by the pen, we can make a hole for them to get out of quickly."
"My suggestion is that Appolo and Romeo work on making the hole and getting the slaves moving. Romeo can lead them and Appolo can join the rest of us once thats accomplished. If some of the slaves wish to fight, then Appolo you bring them down to the rest of us. Romeo can lead the ones that dont wish to down the path and out of trouble."
"Val, Ari, and I should come out at the south corner of the pens. That way we have a full view of the area and can launch ranged attacks on those that notice the slaves escaping. I have a long bow to use and one Lightning Bolt still. I hope to draw those that come against us along the front of the pens and get as many as I can with the Lightning Bolt."
"Once melee looks inevitable, Val meet them, Ari you can flank her. I will haste us all, then join then take Val's other flank."
"Appolo, Ghem will stay with you in the corner. He can inform you if any of the snakes or humans try to come around the pen on the northern side. And he can tell me if you need help. We wont be far apart and can move to help any in our group quickly."
"One thing also, Appolo, try to stay within 30 feet of me. That way when I cast Haste, I can include you. That goes for all of us."
"I will try and slow the advance against us, with a web spell or two. That will allow us to get more arrows into them before they get to us."
"Any one disagree with my plan? or have alternatives or additions? Ari, what spells do you have that we can co-ordinate with?"
When ready, Mykael heads off with the group. Ghem will fly about 40 ahead of the lead, moving from tree to tree. This will allow him to get far enough away from the group that the noise we make shouldnt interfere with his Blind Sense. And he can alert us of any thing he notices and can guide us around them. Making it harder for us to be detected.
OOC: Mykael likes his plan, but will go with whatever Val decides, since I believe she is the senior battle officer of our group. If she goes with Mykael's plan, Romeo and Appolo would appear about (DD/4), and Val, Ari, and Mykael would appear at (CC/10).
Also, what are the walls of the pen make of? Wood?

Ashira (AC26, HP 112/112) Woodland Stride, Endure Elements, Resist Energy (Acid), Barkskin +2, Delay Poison Thursday January 25th, 2007 11:40:29 AM
As she waits for the signal to attack, Ashira begins casting her buff spells. She casts Barkskin +2 on herself and John. Then she casts Delay Poison on herself and Bart. She taps Bart as her flanking buddy. "C'mon Bart, let's rip through these overgrown snakes and make them curse the day they sank our ship!" Shifting her position slighty, she moves over to where she has a direct line to the closest abomination (#7). As soon as Rigging gives the signal, she charges the creature hoping the element of surprise will work in her favor.
OOC: Will add Charge rolls once I know the final list of spells cast on Ashira.
Spells cast Barkskin +2 on herself and John--49min/50min remaining Delay poison on herself and Bart---5 hours

Rigging Thursday January 25th, 2007 8:20:43 PM
Rigging waits the time needed for the other group to get into position. He asks, "Who wants to be enlarged? I can tap you with my wand? Since the last pyramid, I have become more of a mage and doubt I will be standing up to much in a fight but my holy dagger is good against these creatures. Can anyone use it better than me? (+1 dagger but does 2d6 extra damage to evil creatures)
He then confers with Cosmo. Send you animals against the two closest abominations. I will concentrate my first fireball on the YT's on the eastern side of the pyramid, you get the southern side of the pyramid.
Ashira Bart Nezamil and John should attack the YT's in the south west corner guarding the path. Take them out first and then close with the abominations.
After the fireball I plan on casting an evards tentacles on the humans guarding the slaves in the pen. Should keep them busy.
Just before the attack begins, Rigging will cast haste on his portion of the group (+1 to ac, +1 to hit, +30 base movement, one extra primary weapon attack) He will then cast greater invisibilty and then get some height.

Cosmo nods at Rigging to let him know that he understands. When Rigging gives the go ahead, Cosmo casts the 2 SM IV scrolls that he has (each summoned 2 Fiendish Apes). He instructs them to attack the Abominations (I think #3 &4 on the map). Cosmo then casts Fireball at the YT on the south side of the Pyramid as instructed by Rigging. He uses his Rod of maximize when he does this.
Fireball - maximum damage 60 points; Reflex save 19
Cosmo then takes to the air. He has his Rod of Maximize in one hand and his Rod of Enlarge in the other.

DM Kent Friday January 26th, 2007 9:32:50 PM
Val, Apollo, Romeo, Mykael, and Ari head out and around to free and distract, up near the north east corner of the clearing, where they take note that the pens are, while sturdy enough, they are also obviously hastily made and of wood. While the rescue squad moves, the others get into their positions near the southwestern corner and prepare for the major attack and onslaught.
As they return to the edge of the clearing they are able to see that there are quite a few less YT and Human guards then there were just 5-10 minutes ago and more are steadily moving toward the pyramid.
Final pre-combat spells are cast and Cosmo casts his two summoning spells sending his wrecking crew to the top of the Pyramid when the arrive.
As the last set of Apes arrives making their presence known to those on the Pyramid, Cosmo lets fly with a fireball and Ashira and Bart charge out attacking their respective targets.
The human guards #3,4,&7 also get caught in Cosmo's blast and fall never to rise again. The YT are all still standing, and though injured, do not look or sound happy.
Ashira and Bart both connect with their attacks and elicit loud hisses from theore now embattled opponents.

Stepping back 5 feet (F30), Ashira launches a full attack on the creature. Doubting that it will take all of her attacks to kill the creature, Ashira is prepared to shift her attack to the abomination (#7) once the pureblood is downed.

Troglodyte Ari hp72 AC 27 (Hasted, Alter Self, Shield) 5d4(3+2+1+4+2)=12 Sunday January 28th, 2007 8:09:43 AM
Ari tries his best to move in a Flanking position to Val that gives him a straight line on the nearest guards (ie CC:11). Ari waits for the Evards Tentacles to appear or for someone in his group to move out and upon first action available casts Burning hands on the two nearest guards. (12 Points, DC 15) (15 ft distance so I assume just the two guards)
As they get in position Ari worries about the timing of the attack and hope everything works out.

Cosmo takes to the air, gaining altitude. Using the additional speed from Rigging's haste spell, Cosmo is able to get to a good height and then starts moving towards the pyramid (movement is now 70'). From his lofty position he looks to see where he should cast his next spell.

Mykael waves for Appolo and Romeo to go ahead.
Ghem moves to BB-2 and hides in the lower folage of a tree. This way he can watch, listen, and sense for any snakes or humans moving around the north side of the pen, and can alert Appolo and Romeo, and can talk to them through telepathy.
Mykael tells Appolo through Ghem, that he will wait until they get into melee before he casts haste, since it doesnt last so long.
Taking position on Val's right flank, Mykeal pulls his longbow, he looses two arrows at the nearest untangled human by the pen.

Val stood at the edge of the brush, her bow placed in such a position where it was unhindered. The magic cast upon her enhanced her speed and she was already quite quick with the bow. The bowstring sounded briefly like a strummed instrument as she fired off several arrows in a few seconds. While the abomination she targeted was quite far, for her bow it was easily within range.

YT's - AC 22 AB's - AC 25 Human's - AC 15
As Rigging's fireball goes off and catches the YT and the other 2 human guards, bedlam begins to fill the clearing as many of the nearby YT race for the pyramid entrances.
Ashira basically decimates the Yt she is facing and even gets a strike in on #7 as Bart connects for a second blow,on his opponent, but both #28 and #7 still remain on their feet.
Val sends a flight of arrows streaking toward #4 and watches as two of them strike home.
Romeo and Apollo move toward the corner of the pen as the lunch meat sems preoccupied with what is going on near the Pyramid and the explosions.
Mykael sends Ghem into hiding and lets fly with a couple of arrow. Dissapointingly they both fall short of their target.
The Apes get into action and 3 of the four connect with a strike on their targets.
Cosmo moves upward and forward and begins to plan his next move.
Ari steps forward and fry the two human guards.
Nez steps forward and slaps a hurting on #7 but it almost seems like he isn't even hurt.

As 13 YT dash into the Pyramid as they escape the torent of fireballs raining down upon them, most of the Abominations and humans as well as a few YT that know they are too far to make it turn their attention to the two areas the attacks seem to be coming from and charge into the fray converging on Bart, Ashira and Nez in the southern part of the clearing and toward the now visible Trogladyte Ari and the area where the arrows were coming from. Of the four opponents charging Ashira (26, 6, 22 & 30) only the YT (30) connects with its attack AC 28 9 damage
Bart is also suddenly surrounded as he finds himslef facing his first opponent (28) as well as the three others (32, 25, 31) that charged him. He however does not fare as well as Ashira and finds himself the recipient of a number of well placed blows as YT 28 and 32 connect ACs 31 and 27 and human 25 connects as well AC 29 (natural 20)- 30 points damage
Nez finds himself face to face with Abomination #7 as it takes a 5 foot step and begins its attack on the large dwarf. connecting 3 times AC 43, 34,& 26 for 43 points
Over on the nothern side of the clearing Aris sees six opponents charging at him, but sees that only two will reach him this round, though that is of little consolation as the two human guards rip into him one critically. AC 29 - AC29, and Ac 23 for 19 points
Up on the Pyramid the glow is almost blinding to any who look that way and the two embattled YT and joined by their two other comrades fightin the Apes (5 foot steps)
APE #1 gets hit AC 21 & 26 for 26 points APE #2 hets hit AC 22 & 25 for 26 points APE #3 gets hit AC 15 & 25 for 19 points APE #4 gets hit AC 32/23(crit) & Miss for 19 points

The ranger looks over in contempt at the Yuan Ti who managed to knick her. "Ok...I was going to kill off your buddy over there first, but I guess you're next." Once more the axe and sword move in a blur, slicing deep into the monster's flesh. If she should kill her opponent (#30) before her attacks are finished, Ashira turns to number 28 with the remainder.

The ranger grimaces as first Bart and then Nezamil get hit hard. Weighing his options, he decides to tap Bart first, figuring that if Nezamil really needs healing he can do it himself. Scooting a little closer to Bart and directly above the abomination, John lowers his elevation enough to tap the fighter on the head with his wand (E29 about 15 feet above ground). 15 hp to Bart

As Ari inspects the results of his attack he gets this ominous feeling that somehow he did not stick to plan as he finds the human guards in his face and causing damage.
Not spending any time to think about it for right now, Ari pulls how his swords and begins his attack. As always he's hoping that Alemi is with him today.

Staggered by the Abominations savage attack Nezamil steps back(5 'ft move)(which leaves 10'ft gap and hopefully another AoO next rd )(and moves to D31)and uses his bulk to pressure John back also
"Domi grant us all courage againist these viles snakes" roars Nezamil " Heya Ashira i could use ya help on this one ....he's a might nasty"

Ashira goes a chopping and sends bits of YT hither and thither.
John moves over and drops down a bit to lay a healing tap on Bart.
Rigging moves to a new location and drops his spell on the unwary opponents and even Ari needs to make a reflex save as he is so close to the edge of the flailing tentacles.
Mykael takes a five foot step and sends his lightening bolt through the tentacles striking his opponents.
The Apes continue their barrage and Cosmo moves up over the pyramid and begis to cast another spell. He notices that the three humanoid figures on the top of the Pyramid are bound and blindfolded, and while they aren't moving the sense is that they are alive. Cosmo make spot check DC 25 Even dodging the the tentacles (reflex 23- rolled for you as you didn't know), Ari slices deeply into #17.
Bart goes into cuisinart mode and slices and dices the newcomer #25 and then returns to slice into # 28 again.
Keeping an eye out Romeo watches as Apollo begins sawing on the cage much to the consternationof some of the nearby slaves.
Val quickly switches weapons.
Nez takes a step straight backwards but can't get to far in the adjacent space as the forest comes upbehind him and casts a healing spell upon himself.

#16 takes 9 points from the tentacles and steps out of the mess. (Val AoO)
#4 takes 17 points of lightening damage.

A bunch of human slaves get caught and pummeled by the tentacles sending them screaming back to the rear of the pens drawing attention to the pens and Apollo.
***** Ape 1 gets hit twice more AC 31& 25 for 17 points
Ape 2 gets hit twice more AC 25 & 23 for 16 points

# 7 decids not to pursue Nez and instead takes several swings at Ashira connecting twice AC 29 for 14 and AC 31 for 15 points
#31 wades in again after Bart but misses.
Suddenly from seemingly form out of nowhere a column of flame roars down from above catching Ashira, Bart, and John as well as #s 8,6,22,31,28,&7 everyone takes 40 points reflex DC 20 reduces it to 30 total.
