Rescuing Madame Baladwell (IC)

[samduke]

noticing alices change in conversation and tone of voice, what is it alice?

[Archmage1]

Her voice pitched so to be soothingly friendly, Alice glances towards Heather as she answers. "I think we have a friend hiding in the bushes."

[RCgothic]

Tifa frowns at Alice's words. Pitching her voice to carry to where she suspects the spy is hiding, she calls out.

"Hey! Come out of there! There's no need to hide."

[Archmage1]

Bitten in the leg by the wolf, which promptly follows up by attempting to shake her to the ground, Alices world abruptly switches from being full of butterflies and rainbows, to being full of pain, and she doesn't appreciate it. At all.
When she speaks, her voice is sharp, but clearly pained. "Ow! Let." She kicks her leg with some force, tearing the wolf's teeth out, "Go!", before she staggers back slightly, away from the wolf. Once she's gained a little distance, she pulls out her whip, mutters under her breath, before flailing it in the general direction of the wolf. Splattering the area with the blood suddenly dripping from her whip.
With a little distance gained, the rather unhappy looking half elf calls out again. "Why are you and your friends here? There's nothing for you, and the village will need to kill you, because you'll attack more people!". Her voice is both sad, and in pain, as she knows a sad end is coming for the wolves.

Dayme is feeling confused and whips his head around left and right to see which direction the attackers are coming from. Sending out s slew of obsceneties, that he can't find who he should be fighting or defending. With a roar, he eminates a silvery blast in all directions from himself, that seems to pass right through his friends, but for those who are not friends, it seems to do something to them.

Yer right, thanks. Fixed that on char sheet.

"Dayme takes 4 points of damage, but manages to keep his feet."

DR 1/Cold Iron should reduce that to 3

Ripping himself away from the wolf's bite, Dayme's cry of pain turns into a gurgle, and then a whisper that grows louder and then turns visibly white as defends himself with a cone shaped emanation of cold centered on his attacker. He then takes a look around and moves to what seems to be the safest point he can find, the center of the group.

Heather summons her drakken familiar to E 17 then moves prone 5ft from big wolf 1 to F17

[RCgothic]

Tifa steps between the fourth wolf and the tree, breathing a 60ft line of lightning that engulfs it, the big wolf and the fifth wolf. It doesn't quite reach the sixth wolf, but she lets out carry on that direction as a statement of intent - don't come any closer or I'll fry you! The lightning entangles everything it touches.

Martin also contributes by breathing fire from her shoulder, though the cone of flame only stretches as far as the larger wolf.

Bitten again by wolves, and noting the worrysome amount of her blood dripping from the wolf's maw, Alice draws back her whip to strike at her attacker, but as she does so, she sees Heather, attempting to crawl towards her, be viciously savaged by the wolves. When Heather stops moving, and another wolf moves in to attack again, time seems to slow to a crawl for Alice, but she simply can't react quickly enough to stop the wolf from attacking. All she can do is sing.

And sing she does, a song of hope and renewal, before she leans down, to touch Heather, desperately hoping that she wasn't too late.

Spoiler: Actions

Show

Not sure if Heather is alive or dead(Solid arguments both ways), but I don't think it really matters too much either way, since Alice won't know that Heather is dead anyway.

So, Alice is going to use Melodic casting to defensively cast Cure Light Wounds on Heather's fallen form.

Knowing about the danger in his back, he had to help Alice! With both his knifes, he attacked the wolf.

Unceremoniously dumped onto the ground, Beb tries to gather his scrambled brains to deal with this rapidly changing situation. He focuses hard on casting a spell to make a starving wolf even worse off than it already is.

Concentration check to cast defensively: (d20+12)[32]. If that's 16 or less, I just lose a 2nd-level slot. If 17+, the Big Bad Wolf takes (3d6)[8] dessication damage and is fatigued. A Fortitude save (DC 17) halves the damage and negates the fatigue.

"Heather!" Tifa calls out as she sees her friend go down. Desperate to save her friend she loops behind the big wolf and calls on her innate sorcery to breath acid over the entire battlefield.

Big Wolf take 4 damage from entangling exhalation of last round and is still entangled for 2 more rounds.

Tifa moves around the big wolf avoiding AoOs by going wide (don't think it has reach).

Allies are safe because Tifa always wards all of them against her elemental damages with Endure Exposure invocations at the start of the day. Reflex DC17 for half.

[Illven]

Alice tries to heal Heather but her mauled body is unresponsive to the positive energy flowing through her.

Both wolves manage to resist Dayme's touch of silver dragon heritage.

Amsterdam's first dagger strike fails to dig through the creature's black coarse fur, it's the second strike that manages to wound the creature.

The big bad wolf is too tough to be heavily affected by Beb's spell. The defiant howl turns into a hacking cough but it seems as firm as ever.

However Tifa's acid, causes the Big wolf to....

drop.

Wolf 6+7 is heavily injured from the cone, while wolf 1, and 3 avoids the worst of it, as does wolf 2 but it's starting to look roughed up.

With the downing of big wolf, 2+6+7 withdraw from the combat, while wolf 1 attempts to bite amsterdam, Wolf 3 Alice.
