"Sounds like everyone knows we're coming now. How many of them are left?"

[Kyeudo]

((There are still 2 lizardfolk, 1 wounded, 1 not))

Balen

The changeling continues moving forward, and fires off another eldritch blast at the furthest lizardman.

"You're not getting away that easily!"

Belamros charges after the fleeing lizardfolk, trying to attack with his claws if he can.

Please tell me that not all of the fights are going to be in this slowing jungle terrain....

Kabe

(OOC: If Belamros can't reach the fleeing lizard, then:)
"I'll get this one, Belamros."
With a few words, Kabe calls shadowy fire up around the fleeing lizardfolk

Spoiler

Show

Black Fire, in a cross pattern with the lizardfolk in the nearest part of the cross, such that to flee from Belamros he'd have to move through the fire.

(OOC: If Belamros can reach him)
Kabe moves back toward the northern lizardfolk and throws another shadowy arrow.

Balen's eldritch blast slams the lizardfolk backwards, leaving it sprawled across the ground. A thin trickle of blood flows from the corner of it's mouth.

Pax moves to K7 to aid Will, withdrawing a scroll from his pack.

Belamros barrels after the last of the lizardfolk to D12, easily closing with the lizardfolk once more.

Will is unable to do anything, in too much pain to act.
((Sorry Wiz, but I want to keep things moving.))

The remaining lizardfolk, confronted once more with Belamros, lashes out at the armored warrior with its claws before rushing away to H13.
Attack:(1d20+7)[13]
Damage:(1d3+2)[5]
Concealment:(1d100)[84]
((Belamros gets an AoO))

Kaberon causes a wall of black flames to surge in front of the fleeing lizardfolk with a wave of his hand.
Damage:(2d6)[8] ((Flames cover H13-I13 and G12-I12))

T'Mere delays a moment to see the results of Kabe's efforts before lauching another bolt of shadow. This one fairs no better than the others, shattering upon the jungle foliage.

Kneeling beside Will, Pax recites the scroll, infusing new energy into the poisoned scout. "This should help, my friend," he says calmly as he starts to mutter words of power and gesture in various patterns.

Balen

Seeing the last lizardman trapped by a wall of black flames, Balen lets loose with another Eldritch Blast, whilst standing guard over Pax and Will.

"Is Will going to make it?"

The cleric nods affirmation but does not otherwise reply as he continues to recite the spell.

[Wiz]

Will

Will looks up and smiles, "I hope this mission doesn't see me looking at you from this angle too often... and thanks!"

[Waspinator]

Belamros takes a swing at the escaping lizardfolk and if that does not finish it, follows for another attack.

T'Mere

Disgusted with the local flora, T'Mere instead moves forward further down the path and gestures, summoning deep shadows around the feet of the lizard.

Spoiler

Show

Carpet of Shadow. Double movement costs, five 5' squares leading in the direction the lizard is running.

[Kyeudo]

Balen's blast narrowly misses hitting the lizardfolk.

Pax begins casting a spell on Will, devoting his whole concentration to the effort.

Belamros claws the lizardfolk as it fled and pursues after it, reaching G13.

The lizardfolk, caught between Belamros and the shadowy flames, chooses the fire. It withdraws to O13.
Cold Damage:(2d6)[6]

Kaberon's shadow bolt fares no better than the last, shattering harmlessly on the jungle foliage.

T'Mere moves to J7 before dousing a swath of jungle in dark shadows. (Specify which squares you want covered)

[thevorpalbunny]

Kabe

Kabe makes an annoyed sound and does nothing

(OOC: nothing useful to do without using up my last arrow of dusk. . .)

Spoiler

O13 and beyond, whichever way the lizard is running.

[Qualia]

Balen

"Why's he running back the way we came? Is he trying to distract us from the reinforcements he summoned or is he running towards them? We can't afford to let this go on much longer!"

The changeling unleashes another eldritch blast in a last ditch attempt to stop the fleeing lizardman.

Will lies there and lets the cleric do his work.

[Waspinator]

"Enough footwork for me..."

If it is still on its feet, Belamros reaches into his haversack, draws his bow, and fires it after the lizardfolk.

[Kyeudo]

((T'mere's dark terrain covers O13-S13))

Another of Balen's eldritch blasts connects, further wounding the already battered lizardfolk.

Belamros's arrow fares no better than the shadowy bolts of his comrades.

The lizardfolk moves to O9 and fires at Pax.
Attack:(1d20+10)[24]
Damage:(1d6+4)[5]

((Sorry I spaced this game. I was waiting on T'mere, then got busy in real life.))

If you didn't know any better, you would suppose that the jungle actively hates you, as it swallows both Balen's eldritch blast and Belamros's arrow with equal ease.

Pax suffers no immediate effects from the poison and continues to cast the spell.

The lizardfolk scuttles across the path and fires again, this time at Balen.
