Anna says, "I still say this isn't our conflict, let them rejoin the Wold sure, by completing the ritual but don't choose a side in this battle."
Anna asks Pru, "Should I get my guitar to complete the ritual? (Perform(Strings) 30 if needed)

Could be different stuff I suppose. Either way, I know that I've not been given the authority by anyone to make a choice in this matter. All I have is what these three say and that's not enough for me. Who are they really? They could be evil entities parading around pretending to be something else. So best wait to see what the Manfri says and try contacting those Iron guys and see what news they have."

Michael ponders what his Fist has said. it's rather limited, but then the light comes on and he understands, that's why he is such a good Thumb, he understands the limits of his authority, both physical and Moral. He mulls that over a bit, realizes that he's not really that sort of person, then files it away for further thought later.
The debate continues... Wednesday May 30th, 2018 1:09:44 PM
Pru glances down at the book and the words on the page seem to start moving on their own. Akir nods to the preservationist and Michael mentions his support for the preservationist as well. Pompous prepares for battle as Sigvar asks Pru to wait a moment. He speaks about change and asks about containing the changes and allowing individuals to choose their own change.
Nikolai laughs and questions how the group can decide for the entire Wold. Trayvin suggests preservation as well. Anna does not choose, but asks about preparing her guitar.
Pru looks back down at the book and at the moving words. The words are begging her to read them, but she resists at the moment. She can tell time is very short and she feels that the entire Wold hangs in the balance. She can feel the power radiating from the book and the words on the page, more powerful than anything she has seen before. However, the words are starting to fade as the power starts to somehow recede into the book itself.
The images are starting to fade as well, but the red one attempts to answer Sigvar saying, "The change is always for the better. There will be those who do not survive, but of course, there are always those who will die when it is their time. The change cannot change that some are stronger than others. The strong will always destroy the weak in nature."

Michael snorts in disgusted amusement at the statement of the Adapter. Spoken like all of the truly evil despots we have fought against, only the strong must survive. but who decides who is strong? The reality you propose yields a world of lawless chaos, where cooperation and charity cannot exist. Where no matter how “strong” you are one day of weakness spells your doom. The fact that we just destroyed your influence upon this world means that by your own metric you are not worthy to claim title as inheritor of the Sargrass. Yet here you are arguing from defeat that your way is the only way.
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- 23/13/20 HP 57/76 -- CMD 24 Wednesday May 30th, 2018 3:25:32 PM
Anna says, "The struggle is eternal and yet even in nature there are still instances where the strong protect the weak instead of destroying them. Does not a mother bear defend her cubs potentially even to the point of sacrificing herself?"
Anna looks down at the book. If she notices its fleeting power and that no one else of her group is doing anything she starts reading the passage of the ritual assuming she can make out what it says
Prudence Gundle [AC 20; HP 71/74] Wednesday May 30th, 2018 3:31:08 PM
"Fellas, we need to go! Right now."
Pru begins to read the ritual in a clear, carrying voice.

Sigvar looks at the Adapter. " What you say is also the way of nature. The bear eats when the deer fails to be strong enough or fast enough to escape. The oak stand when the lightning is not enough to break it's will and topple it. Change happens every day, like it or not. We have already proven that if that change becomes something unbounded, and changed those who just want to be left alone that we can defeat it. That is why we need to lend our voice to this vote. We earned the right and the responsibility to do so. Because of that I'll support that change. I will stand for the Adapter." Sigvar lends his aid to the ceremony as he did in destroying the crystal. Charisma 10 to aid in the ritual
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 22 Tch 21 Ffted 19 HP 78/78 CMD 27/29(Grapple) Wednesday May 30th, 2018 9:38:42 PM "You can't truly say that change is for the better. Try convincing yourself that you need to die because someone else says so for the sake of Change. It's easy to doom any number of others when you know you will survive," Nikolai says bluntly.
He adds to Sigvar's comments, "Lightning may or may not hit a tree. It is not a given thing. But when it does, it usually does not kill it. The tree usually survives, albeit not its grand self it used to be, but it is still the same tree. And furthermore, lightning is not a sentient thing. It does not strike a tree on purpose to change it. Anyway, I understand your analogies but I don't think they are relevant in this case. Just my opinion."
He waits for the results of the last part of the ritual.

Akir holds his breath, not quite sure what comes next. Though he personally was all for the restoration of the Sargrass to its original form, before the grasses, he wouldn't try to convince others.
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 27 (T 12, FF 25) CMD 29 HP 114/114 Character Sheet Thursday May 31st, 2018 7:16:08 AM " Every contract that we take is a chance to die for a change that may or may not impact us, but certainly impacts others and those contacts are taken because others say so. We have no say because the Fist says we take the contract. Most of them are change for the better now, but that wasn't always so. I stand by my choice. The red grass of change should have a place in a restored Sargrass. "
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- 23/13/20 HP 57/76 -- CMD 24 Thursday May 31st, 2018 9:23:46 AM
Anna says, "I still think the Sargrass is big enough for all 3 factions, I will not back a dog in this fight but yes even the Adapter faction should have a say in how the new Sargrass moves forward."
The Sargrass Thursday May 31st, 2018 3:41:36 PM
Michael is disgusted with the fading creature and lets it know. Anna joins in condemning the creature. Sigvar seems to agree with the adapter, and it nods towards him, and Nikolai seems to start to agree, but also speaks of fate. Anna tries to find a way to support all three factions, but is interrupted by Pru yelling out, “Fellas, we need to go! Right now!” She starts reading the words before they fade from her sight.
Pru realizes quickly that she doesn’t understand what she is reading. In a moment, all that power that had faded into the book suddenly explodes outwards, immediately engulfing Pru and all of the Agents of the Fist. Everyone blinks and sees only darkness or complete brightness, you’re not even sure what you are seeing. The Wold is spinning, or are the Agents spinning? Are the stars coming down to meet you, or are you heading up into the stars? It is impossible to tell, as magic more powerful than any have ever seen or imagined has been unleashed from this book.
Everything stops suddenly and the Agents find themselves floating in a sea of black and darkness. Are there spots of light? Is that a cloud? Where is the solid ground? There is a feeling of bending and tearing, then a quite loud crack. A space open up in the space around and a massive light shines from behind, though the light appears greyish. The view is momentarily blocked by a huge mass of land appearing from behind the crack. Perception, DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {There is a figure inside the crack, apparently directing the mass of land.} Knowledge, Planes, DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {That appears to be the land of twilight on the other side of the crack!} Knowledge, Religion, DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {That looks like Lady Mab herself on the other side, directing the mass of land.}
The Agents continue to float and watch as the mass of land flies past them in their space. They are helpless to do anything as they feel they are just floating in nothingness. As the mass of land moves past them, they are suddenly sucked into the vortex of the land and they are quickly moving along with the mass through something. Knowledge, Planes, DC 22: Highlight to display spoiler: {You are currently flying through inter-dimensional space!}
In the distance, you can see a planet approaching (or are you approaching the planet?). The group is sucked along with the mass of land and the land is apparently aimed directly towards the planet. As you approach closer, you can start to see land and sea on the planet. Knowledge, Geography, DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {That looks like the Wold!} The mass continues directly towards the planet and very suddenly slams into the planet, shaking the entire thing. At the last moment, the group realizes they are still being sucked along in the wake of the mass and you crash into the ground! Will or Reflex save, DC 15, or crash, landing prone, no damage.
The Agents find themselves in a massive plain of grass. It is mostly yellow grass, but there are streaks of red grasses throughout. Perception, DC 22: Highlight to display spoiler: { This is the Sargrass}. Spellcasters feel suddenly refreshed after the trip through the cosmos. Everyone feels as if time has changed. Looking up into the clear sky you can see an image in the air that spells out, “SIGNAL IF YOU NEED HELP. GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE. SINCERELY, THE IRON DRAGONS.” Spellcraft, DC 11: Highlight to display spoiler: {This is a silent image spell}
Looking around, you can see, far away from you, other small groups of humanoids, it almost appears in the shape of an arc around the center of the plains area. Perception, DC 24: Highlight to display spoiler: {They look like adventuring groups, flanking you on both sides, all facing the center of the circle.} The nearest group looks to be a quarter mile away from you or more.
The grass appears to almost be flowing towards the center of the grassland. The grass looks as if it is piling up in the center. The grass continues to gather and grows into the form of a colossal sized, red vine/grass, plant like humanoid creature. The grass that covers it is a never ending mess of writhing red tendrils. The red plant thing must be 150 feet wide and hundreds of feet tall.
The creature roars! In a loud voice it screams, “MY HOME! MY HOME! MY CHILDREN!” Sense Motive DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: { It is confused and hurt. } Sense Motive DC30: Highlight to display spoiler: { It is actually also insane. } Know Religion DC20: Highlight to display spoiler: { It is an immortal power! } Know Religion DC35: Highlight to display spoiler: { It is the Sar! The former immortal power of the Sargrass, thought destroyed in the cataclysm of the last age. }
The colossus is generally facing away from the Agents, focused mostly on the groups on the other side of the circle. Shifting its faceless gaze right and left to take you in, the colossus shrieks once more, and raises his arms. It’s “skin” is moving, rippling in thousands of individual directions. Flowing out of the side nearest the Agents, some masses appear to be forming out of the grass. You hear a gentle, but insistent voice coming from all directions at once, “You must hold the circle or all will perish!”
OOC: Spellcasters can change spells now and have all spell slots restored for the day. Everyone else finds themselves completely healed of all injuries and afflictions. Note that all spells in effect have expired. Any spells that are normally cast at the start of the day have not been cast at this point in time. We are not in combat yet, but you will have basically two rounds (you can post your actions for two rounds for spellcasting preparations) before the next thing is going to happen… nah, that’s not ominous at all.
Sorry for all the stuff in one post, just catching up with the other boards!

Pru isn't sure at all what's going on. "I think that's the Vale of Twilight," she says at one point, but things are moving so fast it's hard to know what's what.
Pru manages to keep her feet. She looks around at the odd scene and isn't sure what to make of it. She sees the writing, and hears the voice, but she still isn't sure what's happening.
But, first things first. One Extended Mage Armor for herself and one for Nikolai.

Next he looks hard at the thing coming at them Perception 17, but likely cannot make it out. If it will be here within the next 2 rounds he casts Divine Favor on himself.

The Sargrass Friday June 1st, 2018 2:00:29 PM
The Agents look around and are confused by all the activity. Indeed, this is likely what chaos looks like. There are winds blowing in all directions. The grasses are swaying, almost appearing to be angry. There are faint shouts off in the distance and there is the massive, twisting, twirling colossus in the center of this strange place. Everything else dims in the presence of the massive grassy creature.
Pru and Anna cast spells to prepare. Clearly something is about to happen. Everyone else turns to face the center and prepares for battle the best way they can. There is a moment when the winds silence and the grasses spot moving, but only a moment as the next second the colossus creature in the middle almost seems to explode with pieces of grass heading out in all directions. The group can see that the grasses are taking various shapes in different areas of the circle.
However, directly in front of them, and heading very quickly towards the group, are a number of blobs of grass as well. The grass blobs seems to be propelled by some other than natural force as they drive towards the group at a terrifying speed, stronger than the worst winds. As the grasses move, they start to shape into more solid forms and start to slow a little. Looking closely at the shapes, they are forming into something like a cow… no, looking closer, these cows appear to have horns! As they move closer, you can see they are actually quite a bit larger than cows, over ten feet long and clearly quite a bit more solid! The grasses wave as they pass through and start to separate from the grasses, but then you realize that on their sides cling some of the red grasses, looking like long hair. There are now at least six separate blobs speeding towards the party, quite solid, and quite large. They look a bit like massive rhinos!
At the speed they are approaching, you cannot imagine what will happen if they hit someone. A quick glance back and you remember that your goal is to hold this circle…
OOC: They are still speeding towards you at a very unnatural rate. If they continue at this rate, they will be upon you in 2 more rounds (feel free to post Friday/over the weekend 2 rounds). They are large creatures, taking up 10’ spaces, are around a ton in weight, and 10+ feet long. There is at least 10 feet between each of them, but they are generally in a wide line across, covering about 120' in width total. They are 1000 feet away now. If you prepare an action, please do roll hits, damages, and all that stuff!

Michael feels the old familiar quicking of the haste spell, and time slows for him, he clicks and steps outside himself for a moment. the battle is forming a shape, he looks down and finds his hands are filled with a bag of caltrops, he remembers he has 6 bags of them in his rucksack. unbidden his lessons from ranger school come to him and the math is done in his head instantly. 30 ft. he can cover a 30 ft front in front of the party or to sides if they need to refuse a flank. If one of the spellcasters could put walls up funnelling the beasts across the caltrops it would stop the charge and also group them nicely for any area of effect spells, Michael begins to spread the caltrops forming a line 10' thick by 20' wide. He yells out what he is doing to the rest of the party and then gets behind his line. Hopefully he wont have to endure a charge. That done he takes his potions.
Guys I'm laying down caltrops, see if you can funnel them in toward the caltrops. this will bunch them, stop the charge and also keep them from getting out.

The grasses sway, twist and turn as the now very grey and very wooly rhinos continue their charge towards the Agents of the Fist. Off to the sides, you can faintly see and hear the sounds of battle all around you. Clearly, this is a battle for the ages!
As the rhinos get closer, Pru launches a massive fireball at the creatures. The ball explodes in the middle of the line, catching two of the creatures, but one moves to the side and avoids the worst of the damage. The other remains shouldering as they continue their charge.
Trayvin continues to prepare as the ground shakes under the hooves of the charging creatures. Sigvar prepares and flies up, out of the reach of the creatures, and slashes one that comes near him (#2), slicing it deeply. It stumbles and looks up as it charges past Sigvar, but remains on its feet as it turns. It stabs upward with its horn, trying to reach Sigvar, but failing.
Michael throws out some caltrips, hoping they will work against the massive beasts. Two of the monsters (#4, #5), including the smoking rhino, charge through them. They both stumble a little, but continue charging directly at Michael.
Anna grabs the spear and enlarges massively in the center of the line. She braces against the charge and stabs another of the creatures (#3) hard with the spear. Pompous decides to try and control the wild grasses of the Sargrass. They appear to respond to his request, and the grasses reach out at three of the charging Rhinos (#2, 3, 4). The spell doesn’t appear as powerful as it should be, the grasses seem to be resisting Pompous. However, one of the rhinos does stumble and trip in the thick, waving grasses (#2).
Akir enlarges and takes a swipe at the rhino nearest him (#1), striking solidly.
Five of the rhinos reach the agents and stab out with their horns. One stabs Akir and drives through him (23 damage, trample: 10). Two charge Anna and one strikes true (24 damage, 5 trample). Another one attempts to trample Michael (17 damage, 6 trample).
Approx layout (Rhinos 10’ space, 10’ between them to start, bunching up as they get closer to Agents), feel free to adjust if this isn’t where you’d expect to end up:
2 1 – – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 Ak S Anna M P Nik Pru
Sigvar, Pompous and Pru are flying, I think. Also, if you get an additional AOO for reach that wasn’t counted here, please add it in and I’ll get that done.
Those targeted for tramples (Akir, Anna, Michael): you can make an AOO, but get a -4 on that attack OR you can attempt to avoid the trample with a reflex save, DC 23 and then you take half damage from the trample. If you take the AOO or fail the save, you take the full trample damage and are prone!
Did I get all the OOC questions? Everything, including daily uses of things was recharged. XP – there were awards of 2400 for boars, 1050 for stirges, 6400 for azruverda, 3200 for raiders, and 6400 for jubjub bird. I hate to rush levelling, but if you want to level before this battle (and you’ve got the xp), you may, sorry for the mixup.
Perception, DC 24: Highlight to display spoiler: {The grasses waving around behind the rhinos look like they are starting to form into shapes like the rhinos did as they were approaching.}
P.S. Sorry this is late. I apparently need to memorize more rules. This post took me over 2.5 hours to write with me looking up so many different things!

[Pru is not flying that I'm aware of.]
Since the creatures are so big, and spread out, Pru decides to concentrate on one at a time for now. She steps back from the front line and casts a spell. Two golden-yellow rays streak toward Rhino #3! [Cast Scorching Ray. Hit Touch AC 14 for 10 damage; hit Touch AC 28 for 12 damage.]
Seeing that the rays are less than effective, Pru follows up with some Quickened Magic Missiles! [Rhino #3 also takes 17 points of Force damage.]
Edited to add: Pru has the Precise Shot feat.

Sigvar would have gotten an AoO for reach that I didn't account for, thanks for the reminder
AoO hits AC 25 for 27 more damage on #2
Sigvar must be between 1 and 3 to have reached 2, so with his reach I am going to assume he can reach 1, 2, and 3 without moving. He will 5' step at any point if he needs to, If all opponents drop he will 5' step towards the other end of the line at the end for his turn. Sigvar begins swinging hard to try and put down as many as he can. Strat with 2 if it is still up then move on to 3 then 1 since they all should be in reach

Michael watches the charging rhinos get closer, they hit the caltrops and...keep coming... a small part of his mind thinks these must be those "unusual opponents I read about in the instructions the greater part of his mind is directing his body to get out of the way of 4 tons of charging rhino. His body moves with quick grace and he evades the trampling feet of the rhino. though the rhinos horn did scrape his back a bit. He rolls beneath it and pops out behind rhino # 4 flanking it against Anna, he sets about his grisly work. You wouldn't think that rear end is a vulnerable area, you'd be wrong, lots of big veins supply the huge muscles in the beasts hips. and the rectum. Michael becomes a blur of fury, sinking his rapier deep and cutting tendon and muscle with his short sword.
Rapier +1 Keen To hit AC 34 for 4 points of damage. and 19 points of flanking damage. =23
Short Sword +1 to hit AC. 31 for 3 points of damage. and 25 points of flanking damage. =28
and if that doesn't kill him, he starts taking +5 bleed at the beginning of his round.
*At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Pru steps back a little and lets rip with magic rays, easily striking one of the rhinos. It continues to fight until her final magic missile, which brings the massive beast down. Sigvar, in the middle of the creatures, turns and starts slashing. He chops one of the creatures nearly in two and moves on to another. He starts to strike out at the second, but realizes that Pru brought it down, so he turns to a third, his blows crashing into the solid beast. It quickly falls to his blows and he realizes that he has (almost) killed three huge rhinos in one round!
Pompous fires an array of arrows into another of the beasts (#5), but it appears to enrage the creature and it turns to attack him. However, the beast turns too quickly and misses Pompous by a mile with its horn. Michael somehow actually dives underneath the charging rhino. Before the rhino can turn, Michael has slit through its rear section and neatly cut up a few different choice cuts of meat for a possible bar-b-que later.
Trayvin looks back and prepares for more battle (+2 circumstance bonus for perception rolls below) when Nikolai calls out about the enemies in the grasses beyond. He turns to punch out at one of the rhinos but realizes there is nothing standing there, nor nothing within reach after Sigvar’s destructive adventures. Anna turns into a filthy, fat plant child after being knocked prone. She prepares to move towards one of the rhinos (I’ll rule that since you were prone, you can convert this round, but no move action). Akir takes a shot at the charging rhino as it knocks him to the ground, but he quickly recovers and starts to fly.
Pompous and Michael find themselves on the end of the line where there are not dead rhinos all over the place. The remaining three on the end turn, converge, and attack! Two attack towards Michael, but he easily turns and twists, dodging their massive horns. The final one moves towards Pompous who tries to dodge, but ends up impaling himself on the horn (22 damage).

Rhinos 5-8 are in a huge mass around Michael and Pompous (picture being in the middle of a wooly rhino herd). Anna is the only one who can reach them now, everyone else is going to have to take a move action to get to them. Michael could get a flank on one of the ones attacking Pompous, but that’s all for flanking there (I think). Please be sure to keep your headers updated with current data as much as you can (including hit points).

OOC bows don't threaten in melee, so no flank unless Pompous has a feat that allows him to threaten with a bow... IC Sigvar finishes his death spin and stops to assess the situation, he doesn't like what he sees. Michael and Pompous surrounded, the halfling grinning like a blood soaked maniac and... what is that in the distance? Perception 24 " Guys, incoming dragons, plural, about 500 feet out." Sigvar flies over the herd, scooping up Pompous and yelling to Michael to grab on as he flies through them. At least he can get them out of there, though maybe not kill any more rhino's this time around. That probably will trigger AoO's .

The Agents converge on the massive beasts, everyone contributing with sword blows, kicks, magical attacks, and stabbing. As Pompous fires his bow, one rhino tries to knock it out of his hands and stabs him in the shoulder (25 damage). However, the arrows strike true and the four rhinos are quickly defeated. Michael is absolutely covered with gore and blood at this point.The Agents now find themselves standing in the middle of a bloody, difficult battlefield as they look up and see the next wave of monsters approaching.
Sigvar and Nikolai point out the approaching creatures. There are six of the flying creatures headed towards you. They are large, scaly, multi-reptile-headed flying beasts. They will arrive this round. They are spread out in three dimensions, wide and tall, and are size huge (20’ wide).

OOC: Flying: Sigvar, Akir
Total damage dealt against rhinos this round: Pompous – 51, Michael – 130, Nikolai – 13, Pru – 62, Anna – 16, Sigvar – 47 for a grand total of 319. Total remaining rhino hit points: 263. Nicely done Agents! I don’t see any way for Pompous to use that bow without drawing an AOO from two rhinos. If I’m missing something, let me know and I’ll take that damage back.
The rhinos are worth 2400 xp each (each PC). You can apply that XP now. If you want to rush a level gain in the middle of the battle, just go for it! Please do take enough time to make sure you’re getting everything you’re supposed to get for a level gain. Anyone gaining a level, be sure to add a hero point, too.
As a note, for flavor, these are not flying hydras. They were sort of created out of the grasses, so they’ve been “shoved” along the grasses towards you very quickly. They are huge and have reach. However, with the massive rhinos on the ground, the terrain where you are standing is going to be considered difficult for movement.

"These Hydras will attack with fire and cold," Pru warns her Fist-mates. "Michael? C'mere a minute."
Pru worries about Michael and his tendency to fling himself into dangerous situations, so she wants to cast Protection From Energy: Fire on him if possible. If she can't reach him, or if he's already got fire protection of some kind, she will cast it on somebody else.

A bloodied and battered ranger takes a breath and looks at the incoming carnage.
" Hey! There are more things moving in the grass back by the huge thing in the middle. Apparently it is just shedding monsters in all directions,Other waves of monsters are heading out towards the other groups around us.

" A little healing here would be nice... ."
Pompous pops out a bottle from his pack and empties the content. Some of the wounds instantly close but the ranger remains battered,
A hasted volley of flaming and electrified arrows flies from the ranger's bow towards the lead hydra.

The Agents brace and prepare for another wave of attacks. Spells are cast and positions are prepared as much as possible in the few moments before the creatures arrive. The winds continue to blow and the grasses wave in all directions. Battles are raging all around and the monster in the middle continues to wave about and scream.
Up close the hydras arrive and stop short of the agents (about 15 feet away), heads twisting and turning like the snakes they are. Pompous fires a few arrows into the lead hydra (#1). Suddenly the heads from the hydras erupt and there is cold and fire all around the Agents, almost blinding everyone with the blasts and torching the freezing the grass all around. The smell of bar-be-que rhino wafts up through the air…
OOC: Flying: Sigvar, Akir
Oh boy! The front four (#1-4) are throwing four breath weapons each. You can now tell which of those is fire and which is cold, though you can’t be sure on the rear two. Through random selection, I think each breath weapon has the potential to hit two agents:
Hydra #1, fire, four attacks means four saves, Reflex, DC 17 or damages of: 12, 12, 13, 15 attack hitting Michael and Pru Hydra #2, cold, four attacks means four saves, Reflex, DC 17 or damages of: 13, 11, 9, 11 attack hitting Michael and Trayvin Hydra #3, fire, four saves, Reflex DC 17 or damages of: 12, 8, 3, 9 attack hitting Trayvin and Pompous Hydra #4, fire, four saves, Reflex DC 17 or damages of: 9, 8, 12, 13 attack hitting Pompous and Nikolai The other two hydras are in the second rank, behind the first four.
I have NOT applied any resistances to damages! Those who have protection please do reduce the damages appropriately. All those saves are save for half, so evasion can apply as well. Keep in mind that any natural one is an automatic failure with saving throws. Extra note for Michael: since he has taken cover in rhino innards, if you take any damage from the attacks, please reduce it by 50% for cover.
Hydras (7-headed – I know had put 5-headed in the other post, but that was wrong, this is written down as sevens. Good luck, Agents!): AC 17 #1 (fire): 34 damage (3-1-1-3-0-0-0) #2 (cold): 0 damage (4-3-2-1-0-0-0) #3 (fire): 0 damage (1-1-1-2-0-0-0) #4 (fire): 0 damage (1-2-1-1-0-0-0) #5 (): 0 damage #6 (): 0 damage

Out of pure training reflex, Pru attempts to dodge the fiery breath, but really there's no need. Pru and fire have something of an understanding. [Pru's fire resistance is 20 these days.]
Eager to try one of her new spells, Pru focuses on one of the unhurt fire hydras and recites a brief incantation. [Cast Baleful Polymorph]. Hydra #3 must succeed at a DC 22 Fort save or become a delicious plump-breasted pigeon. If it fails that save, it must make a DC 22 Will save to remember that it is a hydra and not a delicious pigeon.

Michale sees the Hydras inhale to start their attack, and breaks cover bee lining for the space between the 1st and 2nd hydras. He dodges and swerves, jukes and jumps flops and flips and at one point even tumbles and trips to avoid the fire. He makes without a singe though and once behind he turns and shouts
Flank on number 1. He then lays into number one. Going for big veins, tendons and organs in the big creatures.

Sigvar watches the cloud of flames and frost wash over the Agents. With his magical protections he feels he can weather them, so he acts to get the attention of the Hydras. He launches himself straight up and lands in the midst of the hydras, provoking ALL of them. As he lands he slashes at #2 and activates his shield as a free action.

"Stay out of the fight until a head get lopped off. Then run in and burn it to stop the regeneration."
Considering his scant resources, Akir aims for one of the Cryohydras, (if its just a reg hydras with ice breath, that works too.), and rays of fire streak towards it.

Pru points at one of the hydras and suddenly finds herself looking at a plump, delicious pigeon. The pigeon flags its wings and start to fly away, not interested in all the fighting and fire and cold and things going on. It searches for a tasty worm in the grasses.
Michael takes a dive into the hydras, bravely trying to setup a flank. He rolls to attempt to avoid the creatures, but fails! Four heads viciously snap at him as he moves, but he manages to avoid all those attempts. He spots a weak point in the creature and quickly stabs it in a very vulnerable spot. It lets out a roar and falls to the ground!
Sigvar attempts to head to the middle of the hydra line, but finds with the pigeon flying away, there’s not much of a line. He drops down and takes a swat at one of the hydras, as he activates his shield. The hydra heads snap at him, but are thwarted by his shield. Pompous steps back and lets arrows fly! Akir aims at the only identified cold creature and makes quick work of it with his fiery magic. Anna surfaces to attack with her Agent friends only to find a dead body. Trayin also steps forward, but the battlefield is quickly getting emptied of foes.
Nikolai steps up to one of the standing hydras and attacks, striking and injuring it within an inch of its life. The hydra snaps back, the heads twisting and turning. There almost appear to be too many heads, as they get in the way of one another while attacking. However, two do find purchase and draw blood from Nikoali (13 damage).
The two hydras from the rear line reveal themselves as cold-based as they unleash cold breath against the Agents. One fires a number of cones of cold at Sigvar, while the other fires at Michael.
OOC: I don’t like trying to make battle maps (and I’m not very good at it), but I know they can be very useful. One day I shall use something more than Excel… in the meantime, here is one for these things. Well, I guess I didn’t need one, but I made one for tracking people and things during this particular round…
Sigar, with the cold protection, none of the cones can do more than 20 damage, so I’m not rolling anything there. Michael, you do need to roll 7 reflex saves. With your numbers, anything but a 1 passes, and with evasion, that’s still half, so if you roll a one out of seven d20 rolls, take 4 damage. Otherwise, just bask in the coldness.
Hydras (7-headed): AC 17 #1 (fire): 79 damage (2-0-0-2-0-0-0) - dead #2 (cold): 121 damage (3-2-1-0-0-0-0) - dead #3 (fire): 0 damage (0-0-0-1-0-0-0) – what hydra? I see no hydra here. Just a nice, plump, pigeon. #4 (fire): 70 damage (0-2-0-0-0-0-0) – almost dead #5 (cold): 0 damage #6 (cold): 0 damage
Interesting. According to official Pathfinder calculators and what-not, that should have been a “challenging” encounter. It was clearly not, I would have rated that as “minor annoyance.” I guess it’s time to bump up the CR on the next wave…

Pru watches the results of her spell in surprise. It worked! It actually worked! she thinks.
But other foes await her attention. Seeing the two cold-based hydras positioned so obligingly close together, Pru decides to send a Fireball their way. [H5 and H6 take 42 damage; DC 20 Reflex save for half.]

OOC A Woldian party is around twice the size that those CRs were intended for so when you are adding up a group of lower CR critters we will kinda always outshine them. These hydra will struggle to hit most of us where as we are only going to miss on realy low rolls, 1-3 basically. They deal lower damage that when a hit does get through we shrug off because it is a lone hit. The elementals that led this whole shebang off were the other end of the spectrum. We could not avoid being hit by them, Their damage was devastating to us, and we were struggling to hit them and when we did had to deal with their DR. Balancing is tough.

the Hydra he stabbed spurted blood everywhere, when the cold hydras lash out at him he tries to evade their blasts, but his foot slips in a pool of hydra blood and two of the cones hit him for 16 before he can recover.!
using his hasted speed he quickly runs to the side of the beast that hit him and flanks it against Sigvar

The Sargrass d20+8=28 ; d20+8=9 ; Monday June 11th, 2018 1:09:28 PM
Pru’s fireball explodes and nearly completely envelops one of the hydras. That hydra is smoking and seaming, the heads twisting and turning in different directions, almost seemingly trying to escape from the body that is burning. Sigvar steps forward and with his reach can easily attack. Two strikes at one hydra drop it, then he turns to the next and chops it to pieces. Still shouldering, the hydra drops as well. The other Agents move and prepare to attack, Michael slipping on a strange patch of ice, but find no moving targets. Everyone stops a moment to catch their breath.
There is a sudden quiet that descends across the battlefield. It is not unfamiliar, but instead to the Agents of the Fist, it is the calm that appears at the end of a battle. It is when the adrenaline starts to recede and disappear. It is when the wounds start to hurt and the amount of blood lost starts to become noticeable. Breathing starts to come back to normal, but you can see that across the battlefield there are many battles still raging. The massive creature, the Sar, in the center of the grasses still waves and rages in the grass. The wind still blows and the grasses still weave. The creature may be growing weaker, but it has not yet been defeated.
Perception, DC 28: Highlight to display spoiler: {There is something moving in the grass a very short distance away, just beyond where the hydras were standing...something very, very large.} Perception, DC 32: Highlight to display spoiler: {The thing moving slowly and carefully in the weeds looks like a cat...a giant cat, over 40 feet long not counting the 10-foot long tail! It appears to be a tawny, six-legged great cat, but with wickedly barbed quills running the length of its body and down to the tip of its long, flexible tail!}
The following rolls are ONLY if your character was successful at the DC 32 perception roll above (and not if someone did make the roll and call out to you, that will be later), otherwise no peeking! Knowledge, Arcana, DC 28: Highlight to display spoiler: {This is a fabled bandersnatch, a very rare and very, very dangerous solitary hunter.} Knowledge, Arcana, DC 30: Highlight to display spoiler: {This creature has legendary abilities in both offense and defense.

They are said to be immune to fear and paralysis.} Knowledge, Arcana, DC 32: Highlight to display spoiler: {This looks like one of the even more rare creatures that may have poison-tipped quills. That type is even more dangerous than those without poison, obviously, but this poison is known to cause confusion in those it affects, making it even easier for the creature to kill its prey.}
OOC: 3600 XP each (each PC, not each hydra) from the hydras.

Pru can't see anything approaching, but the other groups are still fighting and she agrees with Sigvar. There's no way this is over.
"If people can move together a bit," she says, "I'll re-cast that Haste."
Pru casts Haste on as many people as she can reach. Her original Haste will last two more rounds.
" To arms my friends. Something very large approaches where the hydras were. It llooks like a a big giant feline... over 40 feet long with a BIG tail! This thing has six-legs and a wickedly barbed quills running the length of its body and down to the tip of its long, flexible tail. "

OOC I totally forgot to add the prayer to my p[erception, and it tottlay doesn't help mr make even the low DC. Thanks for pointing it out though Nikolai. IC Sigvar flies back to the group when Prudence mentions renewing her spells . He trusts Pompous's eyes over his remaining one and waits for this catlike creature to pounce. A single threat will likely be much more powerful. This God knew what it was doing. Soften them up with fodder in numbers then bring out the big threat. Skalds will write about this day. Sigvar stands a little straighter with his friends nearby again.
The Sargrass d20+34=50 ; 2d8+13=22 ; d20+44=49 ; Tuesday June 12th, 2018 12:47:12 PM
The Agents do not relax, but instead remain wary. Pompous describes a very large cat as the Agents gather together for another haste spell. No one else can see the cat, but no one has any reason to doubt Pompous. Sigvar prepares for an attack as the silence continues. The grasses wave and the wind blows. The sounds of battle rage from far away, echoing across the plains. The monster in the middle yells again in a different direction and its words are carried away in the winds.
Michael turns to climb a carcass for a view when suddenly the grasses erupt. An absolutely massive creature appears, almost completely silent, from out of the grasses and sprints towards Michael’s back! In an instant, the gargantuan creature’s huge maw grabs Michael before he can climb up the carcass. The creature turns and faces the rest of the group, towering over the bodies, Michael gripped in its jaws, almost taking up a defensive position, daring the Agents to try and take its prize from it!
OOC: The giant cat (and it really is officially gargantuan in size) attacked Michael and did 22 damage. It has also grappled Michael and Michael has the grappled condition in the mouth of the monster. No AOO, as it was waiting for someone to step slightly away, which Michael did when heading up the BBQ hydra. I would also assume as trained and skill fighters, all Agents would be able to tell this is going to have reach in case you decide to run up to it.
Now that you can see it, you can attempt these: Knowledge, Arcana, DC 28: Highlight to display spoiler: {This is a fabled bandersnatch, a very rare and very, very dangerous solitary hunter. } Knowledge, Arcana, DC 30: Highlight to display spoiler: {This creature has legendary abilities in both offense and defense.

That type is even more dangerous than those without poison, obviously, but this poison is known to cause confusion in those it affects, making it even easier for the creature to kill its prey. }
P.S. Please hold nothing back. This is seriously meant to challenge this group and I’m trying to find limits for this group. This actually should be a challenge the Agents can win, but it should also be very difficult! At the same time, be careful, this is really a deadly foe.

Pru has no idea what this creature is, but it looks big, and tough, and the odds of turning it into a pigeon seem remote.
Instead, she casts a spell, and a sickly black ray springs from her hand toward the creature. Unfortunately, it peters out before it comes close to reaching its target.]

Michael was climbing when suddenly there was a crushing stabbing pain and the world went wonky. Slobber, teeth, a raspy tongue. As is often the case the machine kicks in and he calmly assesses the situation. Yep! Something has me in its mouth again, big sucker too...not a bird so swallowing is probably out, cats like to chew their food. From the clamping force I doubt I’ll be able to force his way out. Maybe I can dissuade him of the notion that he needs to hold onto me. Michael sheaths his Rapier and with his free hand reaches into his right pocket for an acid flask. He then attempts to shatter the flask against the back teeth of the beast. if it likes reeealllly sour stuff I’m in trouble, but it should spit me out. .

Sigvar knows it is a magical beast, but can recall nothing that will help him kill it ( my max knowledge arcana roll is a 21 so I am not even rolling) It is dexterous, and good at hiding, so probably tough to hit. It is also big, so it will be able to hit him before he can hit it. The way it so casually scooped up an experienced Agent means that his armor likely will do nothing to help him survive this.

TUESDAY POST
Fell asleep and forgot to post!
------------
Akir studies the Bandersnatch as it engages his allies. It moved with amazing reflex, speed, and power, but it's actions seemed to be out of instinct alone. Animal Instinct, while powerful, had its limits. As long as it had Michael in it's mouth, it had the grappled condition, and creatueres with the grappled condition cannot make attacks of opportunity.
He casts Blink using a hero point, avoidance would be the best defense against this creature, and charges in to the melee from above. It's flanked, and he's attacking from above.
Charge Attack misses on AC 23. Hero Point to Reroll hits AC 38 for 16 damage.
(Dice Roller hates me today.)

Pru fires a ray at the creature, but she mis-judges its size and hits a dead hydra. The dead body flickers in blackness, but nothing else happens. Anna burrows underground towards the creature, but not before spotting a strange-looking dragon-thing far off in the distance. It almost looks as if it is burbling as it flies around in crooked circles.
Michael decides to throw some acid into the mouth of the huge cat. The flask explodes and while it seems to be quite small in such a giant mouth, it appears to have the desired effect and the beast spits Michael onto the ground. At the same time Sigvar decides to charge the creature. He is distracted by Michael being spit out, so he has to pull up his carefully aimed sword so as to not hit Michael! When he gets close, the cat, slaps out with a claw, slicing into him with a claw the size of a greatsword.
Pompous moves and prepares to unleash on the gargantuan creature. Trayvin moves around to attempt to flank the monster. As he approaches, one of the rear legs of the cat slash out at him, cutting him open. When he gets close and takes a shot with his Morningstar, he realizes that there are so many quills on the monster, he simply cannot avoid them when swinging at the beast. His blow strikes true, but he cuts himself on the huge quills of the beast when attacking.
Nikolai carefully and quickly moves around, trying to avoid the dangerous claws of the creature. He moves forward to flank the creature, having successfully avoided the claws, but then feels a massive blow to his back at the creature slaps him with its tail. He moves up and attempts to strike the creature, but doesn’t make contact with it.
Akir moves and dive-bombs the great cat. The cat casually swipes at him on his way down, but Akir manages to make solid contact with the back of the beast. However, as the cat moved during his dive, Akir finds himself struck by one of the quills on its back when he attacked.
Then the massive cat moves. The head looks down at Michael, then a giant paw stomps on him, pinning him to the ground. The huge head sways and looks down at Michael, staring into his eyes.
OOC: Pretty much flanking all around here. Anna can approach underground and appear wherever desired here. Michael is grappled again (not pinned, at least not yet, that’s just flavor text). Michael, Fort save, DC 29 or gain the confused condition (from a gaze attack).
Note on the AOOs, and thank you Akir, for pointing that out. I had to look up a few things. Because of the size of the creature, it makes sense (at least to me) that the creature would use the second option for grappling, in which the creature can “simply use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent.” In that case, it does not gain the grappled condition. That makes sense to me because a 40-foot long, six-legged creature with a tiny Halfling in its mouth should certainly still be able to use its claws. That said, after the cat’s turn, it is now grappling with Michael in a different way, so he shouldn’t be able to AOO this turn…
Sigvar is hit with an AOO for 23 damage. Fort save, DC 29 or gain the confused condition.
Trayvin is hit with an AOO for 19 damage. Fort save, DC 29 or gain the confused condition. An additional damage of 5 comes from the quill defense. From this one, Trayvin needs to make a DC 28 Reflex save or a giant quill lodges in his shoulder, resulting in the sickened condition (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). The condition remains until the quill is removed. To remove it requires a full round action with a heal check, DC 20.
Nikolai is hit with an AOO for 18 damage. Fort save, DC 29 or gain the confused condition.
Akir is hit with an AOO for 19 damage. Fort save, DC 29 or gain the confused condition. An additional damage of 7 comes from the quill defense. From this one, Akir needs to make a DC 28 Reflex save or a giant quill lodges in his shoulder, resulting in the sickened condition (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). The condition remains until the quill is removed. To remove it requires a full round action with a heal check, DC 20.

OOC: Don't know if Sigvar knew this but: If used after a roll is made, this bonus is reduced to +4.
That is, you can use a Hero Point to make a reroll OR you can use a Hero Point to add +4 to your roll AFTER the roll or a +8 to a roll if BEFOR the roll. Pathfinder rules.
So, Sigvar could use the Hero pt to add +4 to his 25 roll and make it 29 and thus make the Fort save.
So, DM, you can be the judge on this or just say 'lesson learned'. :}

OOC Sigvar used a hero point before the roll to get that 25, so no, he can't add another +4 to it after the roll. I then used a second point to make a second save, which did not benefit from the +8 and failed that. Really nothing helps when you rolls 2s and 3s for the save.
Also to note, the Cat does NOT lose AC while pinning you Michael. The DM ruled that the cat is so large that it does not gain the grappled condition while grappling. This is backed up by the rules for Grab.
Grab If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Unless otherwise noted, grab can only be used against targets of a size equal to or smaller than the creature with this ability. If the creature can use grab on creatures of other sizes, it is noted in the creature’s Special Attacks line. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text). Creatures with the grab special attack receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple.
Most large animals have this ability so that they are not crippled while attacking the way that most makes sense for a creature that can't hold a weapon.

Pru’s black ray hits the cat in the face. It turns and glares at her as a brief flash of black spreads over its entire body, quills and all. Sigvar looks around and says something about bananas while just standing there next to the massive creature. Anna appears from the ground and slams into the side of the beast. She is unable to avoid impaling herself on a quill when she attacks. Pompous takes careful aim but is distracted from a floating grey square in space that he thought he saw that caused his aim to be off just a little bit.
Michael stares into the eyes of the magical beast for a moment, but shakes off the powerful gaze, at least temporarily. He wiggles and attacks with his sword, drawing blood from the creature’s paw that holds him down. As he moves, one of the quills on the giant paw sticks him. Trayvin yells out for everyone to focus and Sigvar snaps out of his trance and Michael finds he is able to escape the grasp of the creature! Sigvar slashes at the monster and strikes true, drawing a bit more blood.
Nikolai carefully steps back and tries to avoid the creature. He almost gets free, but is suddenly helped on his way away with a playful pat on the back…with huge claws. He scrambles to not lose his balance and pulls out a bow. Akir talks about magic horses, but just as quickly, his mind clears.
Michael, attacking the creature in its paws, has the attention of the beast. It slices and chops into Michael with claws and its teeth. It rips into his body and tries to pick it up with its mouth, but finds that Michael is simply too bloody to get a grip on. Meanwhile, the barbed tail lazily swings around and slams into Sigvar.
OOC: Yes, the effects from attacks and quills is poison. I guess it just sort of oozes out of the quills on the nasty thing. For Anna’s attacks, I think it’s fair to say it was a 5 foot step from underground to her location, so a full attack should be fine. At the moment Nikolai and Akir should threaten, allowing flanking, so one hit (it saved vs confusion).
Anna: Damage: 1 hit point comes from the quill defense. From this one, Anna needs to make a DC 28 Reflex save or a giant quill lodges in her shoulder, resulting in the sickened condition (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). The condition remains until the quill is removed. To remove it requires a full round action with a heal check, DC 20.
Michael: Damage: 5 hit point comes from the quill defense. From this one, Michael needs to make a DC 28 Reflex save or a giant quill lodges in his arm, resulting in the sickened condition (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). The condition remains until the quill is removed. To remove it requires a full round action with a heal check, DC 20. Monster attack does 64 damage! It attempted to grapple, but failed due to freedom.
Nikolai: hit with AOO for 20 damage (because Trayvin had removed the grappled condition). Already confused, but suppressed.
Sigvar: hit with tail slap, 24 damage, already confused, suppressed, so no additional save.
Note on Freedom’s Call (nice move, BTW): This only suppresses the effects – when the duration wears off (fortunately 7 more rounds), those who failed saves will still have the confused condition. Perhaps the battle will be over by that time, but we shall see!
Questions: How does Michael get massive additional damage for flanking? I’ve never even heard of a feat that gives you bonus to damage for flanking. I’m also not seeing how he gets all those attacks. It looks like that was six attacks. I would think in a normal round he would get five (two for rogue 11, one additional for the second weapon, one more for improved TWF, then one more for haste). But with the grappled condition, as you point out, you get one hand. That should be just two attacks, with an additional attack for haste. Even just counting the short sword, that looks like four attacks.
Sigvar: Confused (Suppressed) Michael: Confused (Suppressed) Nikolai: Confused (Suppressed) Akir: Confused (Suppressed); Sickened from quill (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks).

OOC How did Pompous miss? Pinpoint targeting removes all armor and shield bonuses from the target, including natural armor. so -20 natural AC making the cat a 13 AC, basically touch AC. He hit AC 27.
You are correct on Michael's number of attacks. I have been trying to explain this in email for weeks. His extra damage is from Sneak attack, which he gets when flanking. I am not sure if you can flank while pinned because I don't think you count as threatening.

Thanks for the flanking/sneak damage thing, I'd actually never seen that before!
P.S. NO ONE IS CONFUSED at the moment because that freedom thing removed confusion from everyone, at least temporarily.

Pru continues her method of attacking, trying to wear down the monster. Another black ray strikes true. Pompous also takes careful aim once again and strikes true in one of the shoulder joints of the many-legged cat-monster. The arrow explodes with fire and electricity. Sigvar, seeing Michael bleeding all over the place, unloads on the monster, striking again and again. He cannot avoid the incredibly huge quills covering the beast.
Michael, still being stepped on by one of the legs of the creature, cries out, but his body suddenly lies still, covered in blood – his own and the cat’s. Trayvin quickly moves up to heal Michael. He has to touch Michael for the spell to work, and though he tries to avoid it, another of the beast’s massive claws slashes him, nearly taking his arm off!
Nikolai shoots a couple of arrows, but anyone watching might ask him what he was shooting at because those arrows barely went in the direction of the monster. Anna points at the monster, trying to help Nikolai see what he’s supposed to be shooting at.
The massive creature opens its mouth and a terrifying sound comes out that sounds like a cross between a scream and a roar! This beast is not happy with what’s happening around it, and it is clearly losing lots of blood at this point. It moves with grace as it back up a bit. It takes a bite of Nikolai and tries to carry him off, but for some reason, it is unable to get a grip on Nikolai despite the massive teeth tearing into him. Then it turns and bounds away into the grasses, leaving a trail of blood.
OOC: Sigvar: Damage: 6 hit points comes from the quill defense. From this one, Sigvar needs to make a DC 28 Reflex save or a giant quill lodges in his arm, resulting in the sickened condition (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). The condition remains until the quill is removed. To remove it requires a full round action with a heal check, DC 20.
Trayvin: Indeed, that spell is a touch range, so you get a friendly swat from the kitty. It hits for 36 damage. Fort save DC 29 or obtain the confused condition, though it will be suppressed as long as the freedom’s call is still happening. The heal of Michael is successful.
Other notes: the creature is using a withdraw action. It still gets an attack because it can do that as a swift action. Normally the withdraw would allow no AOOs, but because of its size and that the Agents have it surrounded, either Anna or Nikolai, standing next to it, can take an AOO (with the +2 from Anna’s aid another). Since Anna is aiding, I would assume that will be Nikolai taking one AOO. If he chooses to take it, he will take 4 additional damage from the quill defense, and make a DC 28 reflex save, or a quill lodges in him as well. It tried to grab Nikolai and run, but the freedom kept the grab from succeeding, though Nikolai does take 28 damage from the bite. It is now sixty feet away from where is started, so more like ninety feet from those attacking from range.
Sigvar: Confused (Suppressed) Michael: Confused (Suppressed) Nikolai: Confused (Suppressed) Akir: Confused (Suppressed); Sickened from quill (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks).

OOC Sigvar is large so the withdraw grants is one space of no AoO i will draw one from him as well because of his reach. Is it withdrawing towards the Sarr or trying to escape the circle? Because of our mission this matters 8). IC Hero point used before the save Reflex save 22 failed, Sigvar is sickened
" IS HE ALIVE?!" Sigvar shouts towards Trayvin. " Somebody faerie fire or glitterdust that thing so it can't hide again. It can NOT be allowed to get past us" Sigvar reaches down and touches Michael, hoping Trayvin was able to hold his spirit in his body. Gargul's healing power flows through the Paladin and into Michael. Michael is Healed for 23 damage and has any fatigue, disease, or curse removed from him With the ailment accumulating and hampering his combat ability Sigvar heroically calls on Gargul to once again grant him his favor Recast Divine Favor while the cat is away. Finally Sigvar flies 40 closer to the cat, keeping his eyes on it so it can not hide (hopefully) Perception 27

Michael floats near Trayvin as he attempts to save him. He flinches as the big cat hits him. I think I'm gone my brother, tend to the others right now. if that thing comes back, you all need to be in fighting shape. i..i..can't help you. Seeing the worry, on his teammates faces, moves Michael, and a warm feeling fills his non-existent chest. You know Trayvin, I never quite understood you, I mean you are big, tough as boiled leather, smart and fairly handsome. yet you chose a cleric, to all the gods! you're a lot more than a walking healing station though, you are like a rock, steady, steadfast, dependable you always gave good counsel and though you did it but rarely, gods you had an infectious laugh! heh..heh.. You know I wish I'd have talked to you more about the afterlife...I"m just kind of hanging around here...there's no heavenly staircase or, thankfully, the abyss opened up to receive me. Hope I'm not just gonna wander the world from now on...aw heck that wouldn't be so bad, I'd have some great stories to tell you when you finally came to see me...I'm gonna miss you guys...I worry about the Mailed Fist. Hey if we win this thing, you demand that they remove the reparations we have to pay to Isldur... Michael has never been "nervous' in his entire life, yet he is now. and apprently it makes him run at the mouth. he guesses that's okay though, nobody can hear him. so he prattles on. . ...so then she tells me, "I'm not that sort of girl,“ I back away a bit, and she jumps on me! I swear I still don't understand women...You think maybe one of the gods can expalin them to me?
There is a sucking of his spirit downwards. He panics for a moment thinking his sins have come back to roost and he's headed for a bad place, then he notices that it's his body drawing him back in. He dives towards his body. as he does he Thanks his teammates for not giving up on him.
Michaels eyes open, without moving he scans the area and himself. No danger and a lot of the damage he suffered is gone now. Clerics are no joke. He takes a deep breath, last he remembers the cat was messing him up really bad, then some kind of dream...it fades from his mind. without a conscious thought, his hands find the hilts of his weapons and he stands up. He notices the quill still stuck in his arm, he stows his weapons and begins to try and work it out. but cannot quite get the thing out one handed.
Heal check 15 , 8.

The Sargrass d6+10=15 ; Monday June 18th, 2018 1:31:17 PM
Sigvar heals Michael, yells to the others, and starts to fly after the quick six-legged cat. It is easy to follow at the moment, as it is fleeing quickly and leaving quite a bloody trail through the grasses. Pru aims at the cat and fires a ray at it, but the green ray vanishes before it can reach the fleeing cat. Akri quickly aims some magic force missiles and strikes the rear of the monster.
Michael finds his life force leaving his body, but then very suddenly drawn back in. He sits up on the ground, looks around, and decides to pulls out the quill. He tries to do it carefully, but instead tears the hole and causes himself quite a bit of pain. Trayvin stands watch over Michael, bleeding, as he watches the beast flee, glad it did not take another swipe at him. Nikolai lets the creature go and moves to help Michael as well. He sees the Michael is starting to get up, so he drinks a healing potion himself.
Pompous continues his careful aim at the fleeing monster and watches his arrow arc through the air and strike true once again. Anna changes shape again and again, twisting and turning into various plants. She stops appearing as quite a scary-looking plant and then starts to move to follow the creature.
The creature continues to run, slowly starting to disappear into the taller, swaying grasses. It continues to head off in a diagonal direction to the right and slightly towards the massive sar in the center of the grasslands. It does not look to be escaping the circle, but once in disappears into the grasses, there is no telling when or where it might appear again.
OOC: Sigvar’s heal on Michael should be a standard action, then casting divine favor is another standard action. Unless there’s something I’m missing there, you can only complete one standard action per round, so I’d think Sigvar would moves, then do the heal, so no divine favor yet.
Pru – the range on Ray of Enfeeblement is 25 + 5/2 levels; or 50 feet for Pru. The cat is 90 feet away. You don’t really need to use up that spell slot as Pru would realize before firing that she can’t reach it at that distance.
Michael – failing the heal check for removing the quill results in the quill being removed and the sickened condition being remove…but because of the failure, 15 points of damage!
Anna – I’m not sure if changing shape would automatically remove the quill, so I guess it remains. You should be able to regenerate, but the quill would just stick there, still giving the sickened condition.

The sickens condition is replace by another sickening condition as the quill comes out and tears a ragged hole while doing it. Michael starts to pass out from the pain, and to be frank, the mutilation, but the Machine kicks in and he avoids it. With his non injured hand he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a CSW potion and downs it CSW potion 2+4+3+12=21. HP 32/89 +21= 53/89. He watches in tired amazement as the potion works, he was a ruin, but now, while sore as a rising, he actually feels 5/9ths decent.
we got any kind of defense against those quills, they smart something fierce and are a Trial to get out. I think in the future, I’m just going to go the swallowing route, it’s just a pain to fight something that big face to face..
He makes sure he keeps an eye on the big cat thing as it runs off. Things like that don’t run scared, they regroup.

The Sargrass d20+26=43 ; Tuesday June 19th, 2018 11:33:13 AM
Michael makes his way to his feet and drinks a potion. He feels much better but is still battered. He looks out into the grasslands after the monster, but he cannot see anything other than waving bits of grass at this point. Pru takes aim and fires a magical arrow of green acid at the beast. She is pretty sure that she hit it, but it really disappeared into the grasses while the arrow was flying through the air. She mentions holding the circle and staying put.
Pompous talks about putting up a wind wall, but he doesn’t remember any of the quills flying through the air. Everyone who was impaled by a quill stuck themselves on the quill simply by getting too close to the monster. Michael asks about some kind of magical armor protection against quills. Nikolai asks for a spear and watches towards the center of the circle.
Trayvin asks about the magic from the creature, because he knows that his own magic will not hold on much longer. Those infected can feel that they are still infected, though Trayvin’s magic keeps the effects at bay. Anna yells back (can a plant yell?) as she continues to move in the direction she saw the vicious cat go. Akir starts to send another force missile after the beast, but he stops when he realizes it is just too far away and disappearing into the grasses.
OOC: Akir: Magic missile has a range of 100+10/lvl, or 210 for Akir. This round the monster started out 300 feet away.
Sigvar: Confused (Suppressed); Sickened from quill (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). Quill is stuck in arm. Michael: Confused (Suppressed) Nikolai: Confused (Suppressed) Akir: Confused (Suppressed); Sickened from quill (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). Quill stuck in shoulder. Anna: Sickened from quill (-2 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). Quill stuck in some plant-identified body part.
DC 20 heal check to remove a quill, full-round action. Failure results in the quill getting removed, but also damage, as Michael as noticed.

Locations at the start of round: Anna is 260’ away. - 40 feet Main group is now 300’ away; ranged attackers are 330’ away. +/- ??? After the round, no one can spot the creature in the grasses, so you’re not completely sure how far away it is any more. If someone were to do the math and the creature were moving at full speed, it could be over 500 feet away, or if it turned around, it could be 40 feet away…
We will stay in combat rounds for now, just in case…

"Anna has my spear," Pru tells Nikolai. She watches the Anna-plant-creature stalk after the bad kitty, wondering what became of the spear. Will she ever get it back? "Er....sorry," she adds lamely.
Wherever the bad kitty is, the Acid Arrow continues to sizzle and do damage. This round, kitty takes 7 points of acid damage.
Not sure what else to do, Pru casts a Wall of Ice. By itself, the wall won't do much, but it's intended to be one side of a "funnel" that will direct creatures toward the front line of the group, and hopefully slow them down to one or two at a time. Her wall of ice cannot curve, but she casts it at an angle, which she hopes will work just as well.

If Michael can see Anna, he uses her and Sigvars pursuit to triangulate in on the big cat's location. but cannot quite make it work. he has an idea though. so he positions himself to where the Big cat's last general location has the caltrops between him and it. with an ice wall on his flank. he then stands with his back to the cat but with his weapons ready. He tries to be alert, but with the gibbering madness being held back by Trayvin and the almost dying. he finds it hard to pay attention. if it's an ambush predator and it likes taking quarry unaware, I guess I'm about as unaware as I can be right now, should help sweeten the pot. .
Pru, if it comes for me, which it seems to have a taste for halfling, just start pouring damage into it. it can't have much left or it would not have retreated, .

The cat creature was gone for now. Maybe it will come back for more, but until then, Trayvin can keep busy trying to remove quills. There was no guarantee, but it had to be done, and he knew if he was unable to remove them correctly, at least he could still heal the damage.

Anna doesn't really have any more buffs she could activate that make sense in this situation so she continues to regenerate.
"You'll get the spear back when I revert back to my normal form, right now though I don't want to dismiss this form."

Akir watches and looks for the enemy. Pru casts a wall of ice to set up a funnel for additional enemies. Michael also attempts to keep watch, but gives up when he can’t see the monster. He turns around and tries to entice the creature to eat him…again. Pompous continues to watch as well.
Trayvin tries to help out Akir, but just rips the quill out of him, leaving quite a gash. Sigvar carefully removes his own quill without any problems. The grasses continue to wave about and the monster in the center of the grasslands continues to wiggle and twist. Perception DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {Looking towards the center of the circle, there is a wave in the grasses headed in your direction. It could just be the wind blowing the grasses, or it could be something else ejected from the creature in the middle. It is still hundreds and hundreds of feet away.}
Anna yells out into the waving grasses, hoping to tease the giant cat. Nikolai treads a little ways after Anna, but can’t find the trail of anything in the rapidly moving grasses. She twists her plant form and removes her quill, but tears off a leaf. As she turns back, she sees a number of quills that are flying through the air at her, slicing and chopping her plant form into pieces!
OOC: Quill remove damage: Akir: 12; Anna: 12 Anna: 75 damage from a series of quills. These quills don’t stick, but you do need to make four DC 29 fort saves or gain the confused condition, though it will be suppressed.

The Acid Arrow continues to sizzle and scorch Bad Kitty. This round, kitty takes 5 points of acid damage.
Pru casts another Wall of Ice, completing the "funnel." It should help steer the next wave of opponents toward the fighters. Providing, of course, that they come from roughly the same direction as the first wave. And that they can't fly. Or burrow. Or teleport.
Pru sighs, wondering whether the whole thing was a waste of time.

Pompous pinpoints the beast off in the distance. The ranger is definitely that the cat.. at least he hopes it's the cat... can shoot waves of quills.

Pru sets up another wall of ice and now the main group of Agents find themselves standing at the end of a long funnel, directing anything that might come from the Sar directly towards the group. It is sort of like the group now has a target on its head. Looking in the direction of the Sar, Perception, DC 22 Highlight to display spoiler: { There is a wave in the grasses headed in your direction. It could just be the wind blowing the grasses, or it could be something else ejected from the creature in the middle. It is still hundreds and hundreds of feet away, but clearly approaching the group and towards the ice funnel. }
Sigvar takes off in the direction of the monster, swinging past Anna, stopping to give her a little healing. Pompous spots the beast a very long distance away, and puts up a wind wall to attempt to keep the beast from attacking from its ranged position. Trayvin runs towards Anna to help heal her as she moves back behind the wall of wind. Michael continues to attempt to look like bait and with the walls of ice pointing at him, he’s starting to feel like a target. Nikolai moves back with the group while Akir gains some altitude, hoping the creature will reveal itself to him.
As Sigvar looks for the monster, once again a barrage of quills appears from out of the grasses from quite a distance, slamming into Sigvar again and again.

For one final round, Bad Kitty is scorched by acid, this time for 7 damage.
"Well," Pru says, looking at the standoff. "Fireball is a long-range spell. Let's see what I can do with it."
She aims a Fireball at the general area where the quills came from. It's a 20-foot radius, so she's hoping she'll catch Bad Kitty in it, even if she doesn't quite pinpoint the exact square. That's 30 damage, DC 20 Reflex save for half.

Sniping If you’ve already successfully used Stealth at least 10 feet from your target, you can make one ranged attack and then immediately use Stealth again. You take a –20 penalty on your Stealth check to maintain your obscured location. Perception 34 So perception to spot Murder Kitty is lower than the 32 he rolled for his stealth check, meaning it was lower than the 33 posted last round as well.

She then says to her friends, "If I go towards the murder kitty I won't be able to find it and I'll be shredded by its quills; also I have no ranged attack capability in this form, I guess I'll face whatever is headed towards the tunnel."
Anna uses up to a double move (up to 80 feet) to stand against whatever new threat is barreling towards the ice funnel. If she only has to use 40 feet of move or less she'll ready an action to attack whatever is coming when it gets within her 15 foot range.

"Well, the plan might be stay hidden in the grass until the bigger guys over there finish off their foes and go after that spiked kitty.

The Sargrass d20+26=42 ; Friday June 22nd, 2018 11:50:24 AM
Pru throws a fireball out into the grass where she thinks the beast may be hiding. The grasses burn for only a second before the red of the grass appears to absorb the flames. She’s not sure if she hit the monster or not. Sigvar dives for the ground, playing the stalker’s game and hiding himself. Now who, exactly, is hiding from who?
Trayvin stays with the group, but knows his Freedom’s call won’t last forever. Michael fires a couple of sling bullets into the grasses – perhaps he is already starting to go mad. Anna moves over to the group and sets herself up as a barrier between the group and the incoming foes. Akir joins the main group and tries to heal a little bit and Nikolai heals himself.
Sigvar hides and waits for the six-legged monster to reveal itself. He lies in wait, but can see nothing but grasses waving, almost angrily, in the swirling winds that have recently increased. There is no attack, but Sigvar, despite having spotted the cat last round, now really has no idea where the creature might be. It may have continued to flee, or it may have moved closer to him and could be right behind him!
The others, watching towards the center of the circle, see the wave of grasses headed towards them start to twist and form into yet another creature. The Sar beyond, that was large and overpowering, now looks much smaller than it was when these battles started. Meanwhile, the creature forming out of the grasses is taking the form of a dragon – a huge, thirty-foot long dragon. This dragon does not fly with the ease and grace of dragons of legends. Instead, this creature has a very long neck and it almost looks to be struggling to fly with the violent motions of its tail and wings. In fact, the strange motions of the wings appear to even be affecting the grasses below it, making them twist and turn in new directions. The dragon’s head turns and twists and you can almost hear it from this distance, speaking in a strange tongue that doesn’t quite make sense. The dragon’s scales are all colors of the rainbow from dark black to shimmering white. It flies erratically, but it is generally headed towards the group and the bottom of the ice funnel. It is over 200 feet away.
Knowledge, Arcana, DC 33: Highlight to display spoiler: {This is indeed truly a creature of legend, far more rare than even the dangerous confounding Bandersnatch you’ve been fighting. This is the Jabberwork! This is a creature more dangerous than any you’ve ever seen or imagined. Without a vorpal weapon, this creature is nearly impossible to kill (DR 15/vorpal). It is immune to fire and other elements do little damage to it except for cold. It will resist all but the most powerful spells (SR 31). You know that you are about to die, but you are amazed that you have lived to see one of these mystical, yet deadly creatures.}
OOC: Thanks for the note on perception and attacks. The reason I was really making it hard to spot it because it was 400 feet from the group (260 feet from Sigvar), hiding in the swaying grasses, and it fired spikes from its tail, so it didn’t really need to move or expose itself. Glad it didn’t make too much of a difference.

Sigvar retreats to the group moving 140 feet back to them (double move) As he moves he sees the new threat and wonders what it is saying (Sigvar speaks draconic, and it looks dragonlike). " I couldn't find the kitty, and that thing looks deadly. Can anyone heal me or make me tougher or better able to carve through those scales? Maybe bigger so it doesn't outreach me?"

"I could try a Dispel Magic on the Confusion effect," she says, "but I don't think it will help. It came from some kind of poison, right? Not a spell or anything?"

The reason I was really making it hard to spot it because it was 400 feet from the group (260 feet from Sigvar), hiding in the swaying grasses, and it fired spikes from its tail, so it didn’t really need to move or expose itself. Glad it didn’t make too much of a difference.
My question would be that if the grasses are that tall to hide such a huge creature, then it would be logical that our Medium sized PCs would have total concealment even if standing, but that creature seems able to pinpoint target us with its tail spike attacks despite it's head hiding in the grass. Apart from anyone flying, at least.
Just wanting to make sure its concealment in the grass is equally applied to us and our concealment in the grass if the grass is in fact that tall.

being as Michael views Pru as something akin to an Angel, and the fact that she has only ever cast spells to help him, Michael does not resist the spell.

Anna moves and prepares to defend against the massive approaching dragon. Sigvar scrambles back to the group, looking at the dragon. He can tell that the dragon is not speaking draconic at all. Since he was carefully trying to determine what was being said: Sigvar, Will save, DC 22. Failure: Highlight to display spoiler: {You are confused by what it is saying and feel more confused than ever. Obtain the confused condition a second time, but it is suppressed.} Success: Highlight to display spoiler: {The sound is not a language at all, but a confusing tone and notes that will likely cause others to be confused when they are closer to it!}
Pompous pulls out the most special arrow that he has and considers using it while Michael prepares to die. Trayvin wonders if they need help and Sigvar tries to bolster the troops. Pru isn’t sure if she has much left that will affect such a creature, but she makes Michael invisible and spells out "HELP" in the sky above the group!
The massive flying thing continues to stagger erratically towards the group. Everyone focuses on it and it almost looks how you could image a drunk dragon would be flying. Then it shoots beams of flame out of its eyes, burning some of the grasses that have had such a hard time burning! The creature is about 100 feet away now and will certainly reach the party next round.

Pru readies an action.
She would like to wait until the glitter dragon is in the throat of the ice-wall "funnel," then cast Web to try to keep it there. Web is not subject to Spell Resistance, and the creature would need to make a DC 19 Reflex save to avoid being grappled.
" STAND TRUE !!! Looks like the dragon is engaging the kitty in combat!!! It may be the help we've been waiting for!!! "
Pompous point towards where the Cat creature is advancing.
" THERE! Kitty is trying to flank us!! Two hundred feet away!!! If it gets past the wind wall we'll be vulnerable to the spines again!!! "

A tear of fierce pride rolls from Michaels' eye at Sigvars words. A resolve fills him and he knows that in this place, at this moment with these fine companions, facing these odds on the edge of destruction is where he was meant to be. His cat's grace potion still has several minutes left on it. as well as his Shield of Faith potion. so he need not re-buff them. He figures between himself and Sigvar they ought to be able to distract the dragon long enough for Pompous to put the arrow into it. Michael locks eyes with Sigvar, when the body of the dragon obscures him from Michaels view, he steps out and lets him have it. (I'm going to assume that Pru has cast Haste again.) if it gets caught in the web that ought to put paid to its dex bonus as well.

There is a flash of light as a large minotaur comes into view behind the Murder Kitty. Tall even by taur standards, the 9 1/2 ft tall figure is a commanding presence. Perhaps it is the 10 ft bastard sword slung across his back, a third eye in the center of his forehead, or that he casts no shadow in the Wold.
Casually he brushes some, well, your not sure what it is or that you even want to know, but he brushes it off a black pea-coat sewn of chimera skin with cold as wisps of dark fog seeping from underneath his cloak.
Where the armor doesn't cover you can see the scorpions moving through his fur. Not crawling on top of it or under it, within in it as a ghost passes through a wall or a tattoo through the skin. If that were not strange enough, a silver Holy Symbol like you have never seen before is emblazoned on his forehead and in the center of it is living third eye darting left and right. On his breast is the adamantium emblem with the IA Shield worn by the Iron Adventurer's before they became known as the Iron Dragons.
Bloody liches returned from another dimension...I can only stay a moment, I do not want those things following me over here, but hopefully I can draw this things attention long enough for you to heal and attack. One glimpse at the blood drenching his body and the magical residues upon him make it clear that this is not one of those times you can sit back and watch the show.
Anna says to her companions, "The Murder Kitty either has fast healing or regeneration or some other ability to recover from injury. It is looking a lot less injured than it was before it headed off into the grass."
Anna stands firm with Michael and Trayvin and lashes out at the dragon as soon as it gets within range of the 15 feet she threatens.

While the minotaur is huge, he doesn’t look that large standing behind the quilled, six-legged monster that stands 30 feet tall and 60 feet long. The murder kitty, happy to have another foe separated from the group, stops its approach and turns to the new arrival, massive claws and teeth the size of swords ripping into the minotaur. It tries to bite down on the minotaur, but misses while its tail lazily swings around and slaps him in the back with the massive quills.
Pru prepares a web, but the huge dragon creature flies right through it as if it wasn’t there (made the save). The group prepares for their final battle as the dragon attacks. It remains in the air, so those on the ground cannot reach it. It stays at least thirty feet off the ground to remain out of reach, though its erratic flying means it moves up and down somewhat. The head of the beast spins round and babbles strange noises and languages at the group. The noises seem to be gibberish and are quite confusing. As it hovers, the wings of the dragon beat and create a wind in various directions that buffet and blow against the Agents.
OOC: Bosk, hi there! The nice kitty tore into you for 41 damage from claws and 27 from the tail slap. Applying the 10 DR to each hit should end up with 38 total damage. The claws release poison, fort save DC 29 or confused. The tail slap may leave a quill embedded in you, DC 28 reflex save or quill is lodged in you, gain the sickened condition until it is removed, which requires a DC 20 heal check (full round action).
Everyone below the dragon needs to make a will save DC 31 or be confused. I think perhaps this round the Freedom wears out and all the confusions are no longer suppressed…

Murder kitty and Bosk are around 120 feet from the main group that is at the funnel and below the hovering dragon. If anyone wants to approach the dragon while flying, it will take a DC15 flying check to fly near in the winds. Failure means you cannot approach. Ranged attacks will take a -4 penalty to hit due to the heavy winds.

Bosk's ring of blinking send him back and forth between realms, phasing out long enough to avoid the Kitty's claws, but he reappears just in time to have a quill lodged between his shoulder blades.
I know it was not much, but I hope I bought you some time. Unfortunately the at least one of the Iron Dragons just fell and another was sent to another plane. I have to do something, but will return if I can.

"Thank you, Bosk," Pru calls. The minotaur may not think he did much, but soaking up a whole attack from Murder Kitty was plenty!
But Pru is confused. There's no way the glitter dragon should have been able to just blow through a Web like that. [My apologies; I didn't list all the effects. Even if a creature makes its save, it has to succeed at a Combat Maneuver or Escape Artist check to move through the web, and even if it can do that, the web is difficult terrain. On the other hand, I kind of like the idea that the rules just don't apply to this creature.]
And then Pru goes from just being confused to being actually Confused. She manages to calm the buzzing in her brain long enough to act normally this round, but she's not sure how long this will last.
Acting on Sigvar's suggestion, she casts a new Haste on everyone. If Bosk is still here, she includes him as well.

being as Michael did not get to do his damnedest on the dragon, he uses that hero point to bolster his will save.
will save = 7base+8Hero point = 15
will save 22
roll 77
Michael hears the madness and bears down as hard as he is able to fight it back, but too battered, too bruised and still half mad from kitty quills, he fails. As his sanity drains away like a mug of Last assignment ale, it's not Sigvar he sees, but the god of all Will-o-wisps! skulking behind an Ice wall!
I KILL YOU! YOU MURDERING BALL OF FUFFY EVILLLL Michael charges sigvar

Sigvar is once again overcome by the confusion. All his mind can process is that Murder Kitty has attacked him since he was confused and thus must die. Like a bolt of lightning he charges (flying) across the battlefield at Murder Kitty, hopefully while Bosk is present to provide a flank. If he is, SIgvar uses a Swift Action to impart Outflank to Bosk, though only Sigvar reaps the benefit. He then heroically attacks again once he reaches his target.
Charge Attack Hits AC 40 for 22 damage Hero Point Attack Hits AC 37 for 19 damage
Sigvar's AC is -2 this round for charging and he provokes an AoO for charging through the Kitty's threatened area.

OOC Totally forgot that Brian was out of town this week. Covering both Monday and Tuesday if the DM allows.
Monday Trayvin looks at his battered Fist and then looks in his heart for the one thing that can fix this. He finds only his faith, both in the gods of the Wold and his Fist. When Bosk appears flanking the Murder Kitty. Trayvin's reaction is instincyual. he raises his hand and fires off a bolt of searing light at the Kitty. The bolt of light darts out and slams into the Kitty. ( Cast Searing Light )
Ranged touch attack hits AC 13 causing 18 damage to Murder Kitty

Tuesday's post
The Dragon arrives, and Trayvin knows he needs to keep his head. The madness tries to force it's way in but he digs deep and forces it out of his mind.
Will Save, using super hero point before save 14 base + 16 bonus + 13 roll 43 total, Travin is sane. Before his Fist succumb to the dragon's babble he heals them again, trying to get them through this.
Channel Energy EVERYONE HEALS 14 DAMAGE Trayvin then heroically uses his Pearl of Power to recast Prayer.

Aaaaaaand Pompous is confused. But not to confused... just a bit confused....
Feeling totally useless at this time... Pompous moves out of the ice wall funnel (hasted 50' move) and dismisses the wind wall. With the other agents engaged with the cat, his own arrows will be needed. Let's hope big daddy dragon ignores our valiant ranger
--------------------------- Save 19, confusion 19%
The wind wall is 100 feet long , middle point centered on Anna's position, and 50 feet high.

Will Save +9 +1(Prayer) DC 31 or be confused = 30 NT20! I think the rules say a NT20 is success!
OOC: Already confused, no point in spending a Hero Point for a worse than average chance to beat another Confusion. He'd still be confused either way.
Not confused by the dragon because already confused by the spikey-kitty, Nikolai tries to fight off that confusion and do something.
