    Mt. Stalagos: Planting 26, Morning

    Round 2 (cont.)

    The magic projectiles dart from Moonshadow’s hands and crash into the beast’s forehead with a loud crack. And Grigor starts to sing.

    There’s more activity behind the howler. A lot of shouting and gnoll-howling.

    Round 3

    The howler starts to try and pick itself back up, but Halgrim quickly brings his mace down on the same spot Moonshadow’s missiles had struck, and the beast’s skull cracks under the weight of the thing. The howler moves no more.

    (( AoO against howler for trying to stand up Successful. Halgrim can still take a regular action. ))

    Now that the howler is no longer a threat, Halgrim can look past the body. It looks like several human guards and a gnoll are clearing tables out of the way of a ballista on the far end of the room.

    (( Halgrim and Tom ))

    Tom startles as he sees the men preparing the massive weapon...

    Now that's not nice... I wonder if they can load that thing by touch?

    Suddenly it gets very dark around the ballista.

    Use Control Light to produce darkness around the ballista crew. It should be big enough to cover everybody.

    Grigor, human cleric

    Seeing the giant beast fall and hearing Halgrim call out for succor, Grigor moves to him to apply Olidamarra's blessing on him.

    "Olidmarra with you, friend."

    Spoiler
    Show
    If we have some time it would be best if Grigor fills up Halgrim to half at 3 HP/round before applying a cure spell. But then it will be an Inflict Medium Wounds spell turned into a Cure Medium Wounds spell for (2d8+6)[10] HP.

    Edit: Well, ok, at least it wasn't 8 HP. Maybe swapped Inflict spells don't make for the best cures. :p

    Most of the room behind the doors goes pitch black and the human guards begin shouting in confusion, and the gnolls begin chattering back in response. There are also a few loud crashes, as if someone knocked something over.

    I think that Meggido's in this slot as well, but it's not like he's doing anything that will change the situation, so we should be able to get through Moonshadow's action as well.

    Excellent. It will take them some time to rewind that silly oversized thing.

    "Eight! Seven! Six! Five!"

    As quickly as he can, Meggido moves up towards the massive doors, praying that the cover of darkness holds. Such a pity that his most effective means of destroying things forces him to get so close to those things first.

    In the doorway, Meggido carefully steps over and around the spiky ridge of the massive devil-dog-thing, and prepares a blast.

    Grigor himself advances as fast as the broken ground and low visibility will allow him.

    "We will have to charge them I'm afraid..." he says as he takes a tanglefoot bag out of his belt pouch. If it can gum up people, maybe it can gum up a ballista too... And Olidamarra is always keen on trying out new things.
