    The next hut, on the other side, also has a boggard coming out of the bog with an attempt at stealth. There is practically no need to move, and the Scribe simply stabs with his ranseur with a fine low shot to the creature's left foot, and then follows that up with a critical pierce right to its cheek for, at which point itt drops immediately and begins to bleed out. There was no "battle."

    The party finds the same Gray Maiden masterwork dagger caked with filth in this boggard's hands, and the same action is done to it. The party is now closest to the largest hut in the village.

    Gek'k, what do you want to do?

    The entire boggard village has been a patch of firm ground built on the shores of a larger pond, with the huts in muddy parts and the paths good walking paths even for humans (even though muddy, but not enough to affect speed). The party already passed part of something that looked like a village square and firepit that was unlit, but just a little bit further down the path is a 10-foot-diameter pit filled with muddy water mars the area. A fence of sticks surrounds the hut, and sharp wooden stakes have been attached to the fence to point inward, making any attempt to climb out of the pit treacherous indeed.

    The sizzling begins again at the hut directly across from the large one. A boggard slinks out from near that one, and Brand and Lilim fail to notice.

    Surprise Round ...

    Fallon focuses her skills on ambush against the boggard and casts a ray of frost, hitting it in the head for 23 cold, plus an extreme case of brain freeze (sickened). It came up right next to the Scribe, so he does a spinning roundhouse to its stomach for 16. It is down. Continuing slaughter of village.

    This time, sneaking out onto the far northern path, seemingly to have escaped the devastation from the southern hut's destruction, a boggard is only barely noticed by the Scribe, Fallon, Lilim, and Teofilo. It is 40' across very difficult terrain.

    Surprise Round ...

    Fallon flies up 10' and 20' forward and shoots at it with her frost ray to hit it in its left hand for 20 cold. It drops the morningstar in pain and discomfort. For the first time EVER, the Scribe goes wuxia. Since trying to get a running start would just land him in the muck, he makes a leap without a running start. He leaps up and forward 6' high into the air while traveling 24' feet. In the air he uses a one-arm hold of his ranseur's mid-pole at his waist to look like a human helicopter as he grabs his bola. The instant he softs land more than halfway across the bog section he tosses his bola at it for 9 NL.

    The good news is that the boggard flies end over end and skips along a sapling until its corpse gets mangled into a shrub. The bad news is that unlike the less ostentatious battle cantrips, magic missile creates a distinctive sound. Distinctive and loud enough to wake up the rest of the village, and they start coming out of their huts ... but no longer surprised.

    Round One ...

    R1T27: The Scribe does some fancy, spinning low-head/ high kick that doesn't land as it thwacks off the central boggard's hide. He adjusts his style to note be so acrobatic and foot-dependent (as he normally is when unarmed) due to the shifting mud underneath him. He tries a knife hand, but nearly slips in the mud. Still, something within him continues this incredible volley of attacks. He then does a straight punch to the boggard's neck for 13.

    R1T25: There's no chance of ambush, but Fallon definitely can get the first strike. She barely hits her target after adjusting for The Scribe, and that same boggard then gets iced in the foot for 11 cold.

    R1T20: Rezah ... finally. You can do something! The only enemy you can see from your vantage is a giant toad that just popped up from a hut and onto the path in front of a rather shocked Gek'k. What do you do?

    R1T20: Rezah says a prayer to Sarenrae, asking for her blessing in the fight to come. The heroes feel the fire of passion in their bellies, even as any enemies near Rezah feel their own battle anger waning.

    R1T19: Brand takes out his dagger carefully, his metallic eyes whirring and changing but never losing his gaze of his target. He takes careful aim and throws his dagger at the giant toad for a whopping 25, badly wounding it. He then steps forward next to Gek'k.

    R1T18: Despite Brand's aggression, the squishy body with the delicious scent has the giant toad focused on Gek'k. Amazingly, it actually manages a bite on the nimble monk's right shoulder for 5.

    R2117-14: The badly wounded boggard desperately slashes at the Scribe while another appears from around the southwest to appear next to the giant toad and facing Gek'k.

    R1T10: Gek'k, you are facing a boggard and a wounded giant toad. What do you do?

    R1T10: Gek'k punches the ever-loving stuffing out of the giant toad, and it drops.

    R1T9: Teofilo flies 10' to the and down 5' so he is 5' above the ground and surrounded by heroes. He casts CLW on Gek'k to heal him completely.

    R1T8: Popping up from the water is a boggard with a bow. Gek'k ducks one arrow as the other goes wide. It definitely has cover out there. It is 45' south of Gek'k, and just over 10' away from the water's edge.

    R1T7: There is a loud and terrible croaking sound north towards the Fallon-Scribe skirmish.

    R1T6-4: Lilim moves 15' east to be on the other side of Rezah. She casts a spell and a bridge of fire leaps in an arc from her fingers to the boggard to the east by the water. His eyes open wide as he stands in shock as the flames burn him. His leather armor pops and curls and the crude fasteners burn away, destroying his protection. He is terribly scarred and burnt, but he comes towards the group with a savage and wild look and hops right up to Rezah, heedless of his own pain.

    CROAK!!!

    It is a terrifying death croak. Rezah's stalwart nature keeps everyone from feeling too uneasy, but it is still a sight to see.

    End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T27:
    The Scribe thrusts deep into his opponent, dropping it. Another similar belly thrust to the opponent to the NW for 13, though that one hadn't yet been wounded.

    R2T27: Fallon sends forth a ray of frost at the same opponent to do 2 cold.

    "We really need to get you something better than that, you know," the Scribe calls up to her. She simply smiles with a big grin and shrugs demurely.

    R2T20: Rezah, a very badly burnt boggard with no armor is brandishing its morningstar and filthy dagger right in your helmeted face. What do you do?

    R2T10: Taking the cue from Rezah and Lilim, Gek'k strikes at B3 with a furious fist of fire, hoping to drop him. He nails him right in the head for 6 + 6 fire. The boggard is stunned and disabled, but still standing.

    R2T6: Lilim throws a scorching ray at the boggard by Gek'k, blowing a hole clear through its chest as it drops.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T27:
    The Scribe does a solid 14 on his first strike to the last boggard's left arm, but then comes around in a twirling spin with a crippling blow to the boggard's chest for a crit of 33. Just as Lilim's fire blasted a hole in one boggard, so has the Scribe's ranseur skewered through its chest. The boggard slowly slides down the handle .... the Scribe might need to take some time to clear his weapon.

    R3T25: Fallon flies down to the south, 10' behind Teofilo (and at the same 10' altitude). She concentrates and swings her hands out in an arc towards the archer in the water and pixie dust spreads all around the enemy. The archer starts to droop, but then shakes its head and seems to be fully back in the game.

    R3T20: Rezah, only one enemy boggard remains ... the archer with cover in the water, 55' SSW from your position. What do you do?

    R3T20: Rezah moves around the unknown pit and down some. He then draws on his unwavering faith and bellows in a commanding voice, "HALT!"

    To everyone's surprise, the archer in the woman stands there, seemingly a little confused.

    R3T19: Brand zooms down and slightly SE along the trail so as not to get mired in the swamp, and he shoots at her. The arrow slices through the side of her neck for 9 before the bloodied missile passes along into the swampy waters.

    R3T10: Gek'k, the dark green is swamp, and the light is trail, but that doesn't matter to you since your people are bred to walking on this terrain. The problem is that what is mid-height for the boggard would have you submerged if you want to swim out to meet her ... and fighting underwater is something you don't do well. What do you do?

    R3T10: Gek'k moves to the edge of the water, drawing Kohaku-Ren as he approaches the shore. Testing its balance, he grasps the hoop in his left hand as he hurls the edged bronze at the female boggard. Trailing licks of flame the weapon just barely manages to keep from falling into the water, but just barely skips across the boggard's studded leather armor.

    Also, the verbage on the Kohaku-ren is confusing on the charsheet. Am I able or unable to use Elemental Fist through it as a ki-focus, such as in this situation?
    YES! That's exactly the type of thing for which Kohaku-Ren was created.

    R3T8-6: Up until now, Lilim's fire spells were only as powerful as scorching ray and the like. Her annoyance with this lone archer in the water really has her peeved and she puts all she can into throwing a mote of far enough behind the boggard so as not to hurt her allies. A small mote of flame licks well overhead and lands just above the water, exploding in a blossom of heat. The magic was within her, but seeing that she can finally bring it forth is a beautiful surprise. She manages to just lower further into the water to keep from getting the full blast, taking only 12 fire.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T27: The Scribe hustles through the swampy center and onto the path up to Rezah.

    R4T25: Fallon moves around in a circle overhead to come back to her position. Once there, she concentrates quietly and focuses on the water well past the archer. Swamp grasses and the like creep up in an 80' diameter (with she 5' behind the northernmost track. The grasping roots and vegetation end just before the water's edge, leaving Gek'k clear (barely). More with power than agility, the boggard manages to keep from getting wrapped up.

    R4T20: Rezah, what do you do? Getting into the water by the enemy will just put you in danger of being entangled. The Scribe is standing right next to you if that matters at all.

    She neither spoke, gestured, nor used a druidic focus or divine effigy, but you recognize the effects of the druid/ ranger/ shaman/ plant domain spell known as entangle. This is probably some fey power she has (aka, SLA).

    R4T6: Lilim fires off another ray of heat that erupts poorly at her hand. She just manages to pull her hand away from the flash of the spell effect and so does not burn herself.

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

    R5T27: The Scribe takes out a wand and points it at the archer. And nothing happens. This seems to happen to him a lot when he uses items with which he has not had specific training or an affinity.

    That's several wand fails and at least 2 scroll fails in his career. He's tied for top in the group for UMD, right up there with Fallon (and a point behind for Teofilo ... this latter who makes this a focus of his studies and career), but he has had some terrible luck. Now I know why Ichibod left his own wands (sans shield) with Teofilo. Regardless of "numbers on a sheet", fishlips knows how to get the job done.

    R5T25: The archer continues to wriggle out of any holds of the vegetation coming up out of the water. Fallon looks at the Scribe quizzically. "Was something supposed to happen?"

    By total irony and without knowing that his wand is the same spell as the one she is casting, the flying fey girl sends forth an enchantment. "If I release the plants and my friends stop shooting at you, are you willing to do the same? You're outnumbered, outmagicked, your people lay dead or dying. Let us meet a truce."

    The pit isn't really deep, but the width and thickness of the sidewalls give it that impression. Lilim peers down into the soggy, muddy pit below.

    Rezah exclaims as he does, and The Scribe stands aside him to clap him as a brother-in-arms. "The Bastion of Solku! My, but I had forgotten. Days are rolling into ----"

    There is a great noise, like the mixture of a croak and a burbling roar!

    Something is splashing around in the pit.

    Round One ...

    R1T29: The Scribe quickly recovers from his being upstaged into whatever speech he was about to make and he moves up to the pit and readies his ranseur to attack through the fence.

    R1T25: Gek'k hangs back, figuring that if the thing is stuck in the pit, it's stuck in the pit.

    R1T24: "Bogwid!" shouts Fallon with no attempt to heal disgust. "It's an aberration with a disgusting smell that can make mighty warriors tremble. Stay back!"

    Her wings deftly hover at an altitude of 40' and instead of casting a spell, it looks like she is about to but is waiting for something as she gathers something from her pouch (including what seems to be a feather).

    R1T22: Teofilo flies up next to her to get a view of what's below. His flight is effortless compared to her otherwise adroit, winged flight. He casts a spell on himself and becomes invisible.

    R1T17: In a movement to hard to see, Brand's short sword and dagger are in his hands. He hunkers down some so that he might not be the first one noticed when whatever comes a-calling.

    R1T16: Tentacles come up and wrap themselves around a portion of the pit's fence to pull it up and rip parts of it away, though it does look it hurts itself for 2 in tentacles for doing so. And then, it comes up and shows itself. The Scribe, instead of thrusting straight on, makes this fantastically improbable calculation and stabs so that the side tines catch along a piece of the fence; the ranseur hits with unparalleled perfection while snapping the spike off and lodging it well into the creature even while the Scribe recovers from the thrust. The area of the main body of this vile thing is heavily damaged for 40 and 2 bleed. Brand pops up and makes a single precise strike for 21. Fallon casts her readied spell, throwing what appears to be a tiny pie at it and using her other hand in a tickling motion with her feather. The bogwid rolls around ridiculously - "prone" - and its many tentacles flailing about. There is a terrible stench coming from the thing. The Scribe and Lilim save, and Brand is unaffected (which, as a construct, is to be expected).

    R1T15: Rezah, the monster is 15' from you. This nightmare shambled along the ground on eight muscular tentacles - before falling and rolling around, affected by Fallon's magic - that leave behind a clear viscous residue stinking of putrefaction. Its amphibian skin is moist, green-black, and covered in warts and protuberances. On its back, dozens of fistsized pustules shift and pulsate with nauseating vitality, like sentient oily bubbles threatening to burst.

    R1T17: Gek'k flashes Kohaku-ren at his opponent in a flurry of attacks, each successive blow seeming to encourage him to greater and greater speedsThe first nails her left foot for 9, the second across her belly for another 9, but on his third while planting and doing a pivot Gek'k's left foot feels sprained at the arch as his weapon goes wide

    Oh gods that third strike is certainly a wild card...
    Gek'k lightly sprains his left foot for 1 DEX. Even with that pain, Gek'k refuses to allow himself to falter and a loud crack of lightning fires a jolt as he redoubles the wound onto his enemy's left foot for 8 and 4 electricity.

    R1T14-7: Lilim casts a spell on herself, covering herself in blue flames that are thin and wispy. Rezah casts a spell on himself and his jawline looks a little sharper and more defined.

    R1T4-2: Gek'k's badly wounded, bleeding opponent croaks in anger. Even with his mental training, and the inspiration of Rezah's unflappable demeanor, Gek'k knows fear. Lilim is not so impressed. Her opponent charges her but the morningstar skips across her armor.

    R2T17-7: Gek'k flurries again with Kohaku-ren, this time conserving that last bit of energy, not wishing to overextend again. His first is a brilliant pierce and tear into her right quad for 21 and follow-up bleed of 2. That was enough to drop her right there, and with a few more spins and massive bleeding there is little doubt she is dead. Lilim rips three arcane bolts into her opponent for 14. Rezah trades blows blows with his opponent and gets her right across the very lower abdomen for 14 (his holy power raging through him) and then continues out, up, over, and back the same way to cut into her tricep for 14.

    R2T2: Lilim's opponent misses wildly, smacking herself on the side of the head by the ear, though not for any apparentt effect.

    R3T17-14: Gek'k steps back, breathing lightly, allowing his allies their battles. Lilim only just gets the side of her opponent's chest with 9 fire from a beam of heat. Rezah channels holy energy through his hand into his wound to heal all his wounds before committing fully to his assault. He cuts across her shield to get her in the arm. As she raises her shield in pain and reflex to protect the wounded area, she leaves her abdomen exposed. Rezah cuts across with a nasty wound across her belly and she falls.

    It is now only Lilim and her opponent.

    EDIT: There was no shield, but it was her "shield arm."

    She is not happy with her own spells as something deep within Lilim wants to feel the boggard's bones break under her fists. She lashes out with tail that smacks against the boggard's chest. It doesn't hurt her target but does halt the boggard enough to set up for the claws that dig for a total 14, but still not dropping the wife.

    Gek'k's muscles bulk up to provide him with strength equivalent to the Scribe and Brand, while Lilim is now imbued with the prowess of ancient heroes of Sarenrae and Kelesh.

    R1T25: Fallon opens it right up, throwing faerie dust that covers two of the columns that happen to be w/in 10' of each other; floating, glittering particles of this magic powder are thickly suspended in the air, further revealing the cracks and outlines of the columns. Of particular note, both of those columns' pairs of eyes are covered over with thick bits of the colorful particles, seemingly obscuring what passes for vision.

    R1T24: The Scribe rushes forth to one of the unaffected columns and practically rips the column out of its mount as he puts it in a grapple for 4 mod as the marble skin resists most of his power.

    R1T18: Rezah, you are about 20' to either of the two unaffected columns, and 30'/ 40' to the other two. You don't know the effect Fallon used, so there is the chance you might become blinded if you step into the latter area. What do you do?

    R1T18: Rezah concentrates on the area around him, which includes the four columns, but he does not detect any golems.

    R1T12: Gek'k moves right up to the column engaged with The Scribe. With a punch he does 3 mod, but it is so hard that he takes 7. It was a painful lesson, but a useful probe.

    R1T10: Brand reaches out his hand and makes a gesture to the unattended, unmoving column and there is some mechanical noise that comes from him, but nothing appears to happen.

    R1T9: The column, in response, fully animates and steps forth right up to the metal halfling and with its bizarre two-headed guisarme slashes twice. Brand gets nailed once, but his mithral body appears to have been too tough to actually cut into, as if he were wearing the finest plate armor.

    R1T7: Teofilo moves behind Rezah and says, "Sarenrae may be your sword, but allow Ylimancha to be your shield!"

    He casts shield of faith and places it on everyone's favorite Jolly paladin.

    R1T5: Lilim, you saw Gek'k hurt his fist significantly more than the damage he caused the marble woman, yet you are filled with the prowess of scions gone by. What do you do?

    R1T5: Lilim charges Brand's opponent with a leaping forearm smash that does 5 mod, while at the same time doing a whopping 10 mod to Lilim. Wow, that was enough to crack the thick exodermal "sleeve" and bruise the bone. It had tried to hack her as she came in .... changing grip to extend the two-headed guisarme, but not a chance.

    The first six seconds of the battle have passed, and yet the fairy-dust-blind columns have done nothing.

    End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T25: Fallon flies up behind Lilim and casts a spell on her that increases her lung capacity, supercharges her heart, and gives some density to her musculo-skeletal structure.

    Lilim (only), you recognize the spell as bear's endurance. Wow, with spells, shard, and personal power, that makes you a 24 STR, 24 CON monster. Too bad your base damage on unarmed is on a d6 without benefit of "two-handed" strength adder.

    R5T24: The Scribe's column is too clumsy to escape his grasp, and he grapples it for 5 mod, and then uses that hold to spin in, but for no additional damage.

    R5T18: Rezah, you are not engaging any columns. What do you do?

    R5T18: Rezah engages the nearest construct (the one with The Scribe and Gek'k) with his mithral rapier. It is a glancing thrust that skims off the smooth, marble "hide."

    R5T17: The column woman tosses off the Scribe successfully, readying its double-guisarme for its three opponents.

    R5T12: Gek'k calls upon the power of cold to make the column's hide brittle with his strike, wailing away with a ki-infused flurry for mod 2 (2 cold), 4, 5, and 4. But Gek'k doesn't even realize his injuries, compounded again and again. He looks at his broken fists, which took a total of 47!!! Gek'k is badly bleeding after this, and he steps back 5 feet.

    R5T10-9: The mithral halfling realizes that brute force will only wreck his own weapons. He drops them and tries to grab the column, easily ducking and latching onto it. His pistons and hydraulics can be heard in trying to squeeze, and he manages to cause cracks and the like for 4 mod. It shakes wildly, but fails to throw Brand off.

    R5T7: Teofilo plays his lyre and Gek'k is healed for 12.

    R5T5: Lilim, Brand is grappling your opponent. What do you do?
