Gale shoots a eldritch chain at a formian, hitting it, bouncing, hitting another, bouncing, hitting a third formian. Krgg swings at the formian closest to him, missing it. Zaavariel misses his first attack, but hits the formian with his second, then misses two more times after that. A cone of acid pours down from the sky, hitting four of the formian. As Bleerie begins to cast a spell it fails and backfires as he cannot concentrate on casting it. Noru shoots an arrow at a formian but misses it. His trumpet archon skeleton hits the formian with its claws.

The two formian next to Bleerie attack him again, with everything that they have. Both try to bite and sting Bleerie. The first one misses completely, the second hits Bleerie with its stinger then misses as it tries to bite him.

Two of the formian near Zaavariel turn around towards Gale and throw javelins at her. As the first formian throws two javelins Zaavariel takes the opportunity to attack it. The formian falls to the ground but the javelins are already headed towards Gale. The second formian throws two javelins at Gale as well.

Only the first javelin from the now dead formian hits Gale, piercing her leg.

The remaining two formian unleash their full attacks on Zaavariel. The first one manages to hit Zaavariel with its stinger, the other attacks miss.

Spoiler

Krgg missed due to concealment provided by Noru.
Due to Bleerie’s concentration fail the spell actually harms him and ends his turn, Bleerie takes 4 damage from the backfire.
From the stinger attack Bleerie takes 5 damage and 5 Dex damage as he is now severely affected by the formian’s poison.
Gale takes 7 damage from the javelin.
Zaavariel takes 8 damage from the stinger.

Gale shoots a eldritch chain at the nearest formian, hitting it, bouncing then hitting the next, bouncing again and hitting a third formian. Blinding two of them. Noru shoots an arrow, missing the formian, but his skeleton hits formian #4, once. Bleerie steps back, casts a spell on herself, then on the party. Krgg swings at formian #5, missing it twice. Zaavariel swings at formian #6 hitting it hard, and it falls to the ground, but then misses the rest of his attacks. A cone of breath pours down as Zipxap attacks the formian #4, #5, and #2.

The formian near Zaavariel attack him. Trying to sting and bite him, all of their attacks miss him. One of the formian takes a 5 ft. step back. Then that formian and the one next to it throw javelins at Zipxap. One of the javelins from formian #5 hits Zipxap, so does one of the javelins from formian #4.

The Sick Trick
Smiling to herself as her attack successfully blinds some of her targets, Gale continues the fight. Continuing to target the Javelin throwers, as they are the only threat to her, Gale throws another blast, but this one is a sickening shade of green, rather than the almost black of her last attacks.

Content with the situation, Bleerie moves a bit back to be safe - she doesn't want too much poison in her blood. She then casts a simple spell to keep the pressure on her enemies. As soon as she finishes chanting, a large sword appears next to Krgg, and prepares to slash the closest enemy.

"See, Krgg, I have a weapon as well. I use it when fights get easy!"

Krgg lets out a shout then attacks the formian near him. Frustrated, Krgg puts everything he has into the attack. Hitting the formian for as hard as he can. Noru fires another arrow at the formian near him, missing it again. The trumpet archon skeleton strikes the formian twice. Gale shoots a sickening blast at the formian. Hitting it, sickening it, then bouncing two more times and hitting two others, however the others resist the sickening effects. Bleerie runs away from the combat then casts a spell creating a longsword to fight for her. The longsword then attacks the closest formian, but misses. Zaavariel with the last of his might hits the formian next to him, striking him twice. Knocking it to the ground, unconscious. Zipxap breathes another cone of acid onto the formian. Knocking formian #5 to the ground.

The two standing formian attack the closest targets, one full attack at Zaavariel, the other throws two javelins at Zipxap. The attacks miss Zaavariel and the javelins miss Zipxap.

Seeing the ants begin to fall, Krgg quickly scans the battlefield. Seeing that his allies have the near Formian well in-hand, and noticing the stranger-who-fought-well's obvious exaustion, the orc makes his choice.

With the black after-light still trailing behind his blade like an after-image, Krgg purposefully strides towards the Formian threatening the strange elf. With a feral grin full of malice he points his blade towards the sky and calls down the wrath of Gruumsh on his foe.

Gale moves in closer to the formian and shoots a blast at one of the remaining formian, hitting the first, blinding it, then hitting the second. Zaavariel, seemingly fatigued, attacks the nearest formian before he runs out of energy, hitting it twice. Zaavariel then tries to bite it as hard as he can but ends up missing and breaks one of his front teeth as his teeth smash into in each other, leaving Zaavariel with a gap in his smile. But the formian drops to the ground after Zaavariel’s assault.

Noru casts a spell on himself then orders his trumpet archon skeleton pet to attack the remaining formian, hitting it twice with its claw attacks. Seeing the formian near the elf on the ground, Krgg decides that he is going to land the last blow to the final formian. Krgg takes a step forward and swings his blade with honor attempting to slay the formian, however Krgg’s swing misses. Bleerie runs and hides behind Krgg, afraid of the remaining formian, then her spirit weapon attacks it twice, missing both times. Zipxap breathes a cone of acid over the remaining formian, killing it.

All the formian are now on the ground, not moving.

You hear a voice from a top the building north of you, “I say, nice work with the formian.” A cloaked figure then jumps down from the building landing next to the top formian. You then see the formian’s head roll off as the man’s cloak moves a little. “That one wasn’t completely dead, must be careful with these guys, the like to heal themselves over time.”

The man puts his hood down, revealing a human with scars covering his entire face. He addresses the party, confidently. “I am Bailey, and who might you be?”

Spoiler

I changed Krgg’s target, because that formian drops before his turn.

[mucco]

Oh, great. More people. Don't know if he can't be trusted. He is asking who we are, yet he gives us only the name and not the trade. Shifty appearance, that's for sure. I should also keep an eye on the guy we just rescued - he owes us much and we appear to be on the same side, but still.

The gnome steps forward, while casting a quick spell to heal her wounds. She stops in front of the human and emits a single word: "Bleerie." Her tone and posture clearly imply she doesn't want to give up more information than what was offered to them - she is looking at the newcomer, giving the sensation that she expects him to say something more.

Well, that fight went fairly well. Pity about that javelin strike, though. Bleerie took a few hits, but she can probably handle healing. I wonder why this fellow did not intervene in the fight?

Flying down to the rest of the group, Gale lands, and wincing from the pain, pulls the javelin out of her leg. She then tries walking a bit, and just starts flying again. She also casts a quick spell, before responding to Bailey's Challenge
