Anura's second web spell goes off, not hitting the hounds that just hit themselves, but burying the ones still in the webbing even further, catching those at the 10' and 15' mark.

The spiritual Dothen dashes forward, trying to use his cleaver, only for it to have no effect, regardless of where he uses it.

HP: 31/63; AC: 22

Grazys shakes his head ruefully. "Right. Ya'll havta 'scuse me if I forget a few things. I was dead," he rolls his eyes as he carries Dothen over to Anura. "Think I can bind a vestige real quick-like there?"

OOC: I guess this'll apply now? Move to AG-26.

Kjapp moves to Anura's right and then looses a single arrow at the free hound.

Kjapp's arrow sails and strikes the stone building near the injured hound.

Hist, with a harsh, gutteral laugh raised his hands at the hound on the left, and a blast of Black Fire spurted up at the fiendish dog.

[Lochar]

Hist's blast scorches the hound's flesh, and it howls in pain.


>>>>>>>> Init 8 (Reid)

[Toliudar]

Reid

Reid does his best to bring Dothen back on the path to consciousness, and bolsters the clearly-still-hurt Grazys as well.

The finishing touches will have to wait till later, but here's what I can do for now.

He touches both Grazys and Dothen, feeling the flares of Pelor's blessing flow through to both men.

Spoiler

Show

Burning Restoration to cast a DMM-quickened Cure Serious Wounds on Dothen. (4d8)[16] x 1.5 + 10 = 34 hit points cured, and an equal amount of non-lethal damage removed.

Burning Hold Person to cast Cure Moderate Wounds on Grazys. (2d8)[12] x 1.5 +10 = 28 hit points cured.

HP 85, AC 26

[Lochar]

Reid directs the fly outside of the circle to get close enough to Grazys and Dothen to heal them.


>>>>>>>> Init 6 (Group 6)

The hounds that had managed to dodge all the webbing finally fly up and over all the webbing, beginning to spread out to attack the group.

<<<<<Round End>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>Init 25 (Group 1)
The first group of hounds flies away from the webbed area, taking all of their movement to get in close to Reid, who is outside Anura's circle. They hover around the priest, hungry.

Spoiler

Show

More than a single movement worth of speed, so Reid lucked out that his fly still has protection, otherwise it would have been attacked. I'm considering Reid to be on AH26 on the fly. Reid's protection is moot for any hound that currently has damage.

>>>>>>>>Init 24 (Anura)

With Dothen's limp body looking considerably healthier, Anura casts a spell in an attempt to lift the curse's hold over his ethereal soul.

Spoiler

Show

casting 'arcane turmoil', range 45ft. (just within range!), as targeted 'dispel magic':
(1d20+9)[22]. The other effects of 'arcane turmoil' are presumably irrelevant unless Dothen is a secret spellcaster.

As a move action she pulls out a flask of alchemist's fire from her haversack.

[Lochar]

Anura feels a resistance to her magics, but she overcomes them. And with a start, Dothen is yanked from the realm of the spirits, and into the realm of those awake.

Dothen:

Reid

Shaking his head that Dothen has moved out of his range to help him further, Reid draws his mace and strikes once at a yeth hound.

Grazys! Dothen! Don't be crazy - get back to Anu.

Guiding the fly with his knees, Reid has it lift off over the head of the hound and settle behind Anura again.

Spoiler

Show

Preference is to attack the G1 hound south of him, unless Dothen has already taken care of it. Otherwise, striking the G1 hounds east of him. 5 points of power attack.

Since MW is temporarily down, I'm going by memory on these numbers.

(1d20+7)[12] Attack with mace.
(1d8+8)[9] Damage

And yes, both the fly and Reid are vulnerable to AoO's from the three hounds. AC 26, HP 85.

[Lochar]

Dothen safely tumbles beneath the hound, and then slices into it. His blade doesn't sink as deeply as he'd hoped, but he does see true damage done to it. [8 damage done]

The hounds continue to push through the webbing and muck.

OOC:

Spoiler

A 5' step would allow you to attack the already hurt one on a full attack, without drawing an AoO. Would you like to apply the damage to that one instead?

>>>>>>>>Init 13 and 8 (Kjapp, Reid)
Reid pushes the fly to move, even as he swings wide at one of the hounds.

One of the hounds attempt to drag his mount down, while the other two attempt to take Reid's life directly.

Spoiler

Show

The mount is still warded, since it has not attacked or been pushed against a hound. That attack fails automatically.

Attack 1 on Reid:
A:(1d20+19)[20]
CC: (1d20+19)[35]
D: (2d6+10)[15]
CD: (2d6+10)[18]
No trip

Attack 2 on Reid:
A:(1d20+19)[38]
CC: (1d20+19)[24]
D: (2d6+10)[13]
CD: (2d6+10)[17]
No trip

The hounds can't pull you off the mount, because they can't get a good enough grip on you without trying to also use the mount as leverage. Which doesn't work, since they can't touch it.

One of the hounds (G1, D:43) actually falls flat on it's face as it manages to only bite thin air. (Prone)

>>>>>>>>Init 11
Hist's blast decimates the hound, nearly dropping it to it's knees. It is heavily wounded and likely would not stand much more damage at all.

HP: 59/63; AC: 22

The binder notices Kjapps arrows having little effect. "Ya usin' silvered arrows, mate?" he asks.

[Lochar]

Kjapp's first two arrows strike true, and although the second mundane arrow does not pierce it's skin, the cold magics bound to them to strike true. [4 mundane, 8 cold damage total]

And Kjapp's ranged attacks draw an attack of opportunity from the hound nearest him, but Anura's circle protects the archer from it's deadly maw.

>>>>>>>>>Init 6 (G6)
Hounds begin to fly around, surrounding Dothen completely and beginning to box in Grazys.

The third hound of the group flies above Anura's circle to the other side of it, and strikes out at Reid's fly, while Reid scoots just a little, to make sure his whole body is inside the circle. The hound's claws slide off the fly with no effect.

Anura swiftly invokes another spell, hoping to blind some of the hounds swarming Grazys and Dothen. She then shifts to AO-26 (5ft. step).

Spoiler

casting 'glitterdust', 10ft. radius burst, all within make a Will DC18 save or be blinded for 9 rounds. I think that she can get three hounds without getting Grazys if she centers it at the upper right corner of AG-25.

"We can't come to you without breaking the ward!" she shouts to Grazys and Dothen. "Come to us!"

Spoiler

Show

Her 5-ft step should still leave Kjapp, Reid, and Hist within the magic circle.

[Lochar]

Anura's glitterdust spell splatters all over three of the hounds, and one of them does not manage to dodge enough of the dust to not be blinded. The hound whimpers at scrubs at it's eyes, completely blinded.

Reid replaces his mace at his belt, then takes a moment to further Dothen's recuperation, reaching from the fly to touch the man on the shoulder.

[Lochar]

Dothen ducks, dodges, and tumbles his way through the hounds around him, finally landing with a roll in Anura's circle, protected from the hounds.
