Alexander adjusts his strange spear from waist to shoulder level. He mutters, "Imagine bring this close to the ugly thing...", when he hears the scream from the crowd. He laughs to himself as he imagines the creature holding 100 daggers.

Barden gives Eglantine a long look, then chuckles and retrieves another coin bag from his pocket. "Oh, was it all at once? I was sure I had paid half already, that's how it usually goes. But I guess it's been a too busy time. You know how it is."
The revolting creature lunges at Alexander, but with two quick swings of his blade he cuts down this one too and the summon vanishes its jaws inches away from him.Alamryn Kven, a druid who tries very hard not to be useless.

Re: IC Ljonarian Enigma: Tournament Chaos
First Rowan can't see anything wrong with the horse, but when they get closer the animal is turned and he can see a scratch in its front.
SpoilerMaybe 4 HP damage.
"See? See what has been done to this fine animal!", Count Delawney shouts. His guards nod, but Justi just shakes his head and mumbles something. "And your attitude is unacceptable!", the nobleman continues.
"My lordship!", Ky calls out, "There's no need for this! Unfortunate accidents happen, but my friend here is a first rate healer! He can fix your fine mount in no time!" He claps Rowan's shoulder. The count looks at them up and down. "A healer? You a cleric then, boy?"
"Oh, do as you please", Barden hands over the pouch and continues to smile amiably, though adds in a slightly annoyed tone, "But be quick about it. Haven't got all day here." He's just finished the sentence when a younger man with the aura of an assistant hurries towards them and whispers something to Barden. The neither seems to find the topic pleasing.
SpoilerEggy can make a Listen check to try to hear what is said.

The summoners begin casting their last round of spells. This time Aerin faces a giant bee emitting a pretty glow, and Alexander meets a large spider, black-blue with many red eyes.

Of the other warriors, the young elf is not doing well against the spider and a wolf, and when a beetle is summoned behind them he shouts "I yield!"

Eglantine quickly started counting the coins out, using the sorting tricks Vindal had taught to to swiftly and accurately count the coins. She kept an ear turned to the two men, trying to catch a hint of the conversation. It always paid to be informed. But counting the coins proved to be more distracting and she swiftly realized she had to focus on the task at hand.Last edited by Athedia; 2016-03-21 at 11:37 PM.

Re: IC Ljonarian Enigma: Tournament Chaos
In another skillful strike, Alexander banishes the spider.
She gives it a deep wound, but not quite severe enough to slay it. The bee thrusts its stinger at her.
SpoilerAttack: (1d20+2)[19]
Damage: (1d4)[3]
If hits, roll a Fort save please.
Suddenly there's another scream from the audience stand, then a second one and some general commotion. "Someone help him!" Their source of distress seems to be the young elf who is now surrounded by three summons. The wolf lunges at him and drags him to the ground. "Aaaargh! I said I yield!", he yells, but the monsters don't seem to care.
Barden looks up from his hushed conversation. "What the- Someone dismiss those creatures!" The two summoners give each other a confused look, the third is nowhere to be seen.
Spoiler: MapOkay, there's quite a few markers on the map, but I think you can figure what is what. To summarise, they are: Aerin, Alexander, Assistant, Barden, Bee (B1), Beetle (B2), Dwarf, Mercenary, Eglantine, Elf, Scorpion, Snake, Spider, Summoners (Su1, Su2) Wolves (W1, W2).
There're some other people in the vicinity as well, but I'll mark them only if they become important.
EDIT:
And of course I forgot to mention one thing about the map, sorry. The black lines are rope fence. It's not tall and not much of a hindrance, stepping over (or ducking under) it counts one extra square.
If you manage to jump over it (DC 13 with a running start) it costs no extra and it doesn't stop a charge.
You can also Tumble under it to avoid the movement cost, but in this case you can't also charge.
The magic flows though his hand and the horse's wound disappears as if had never existed. "Hrm, I-", the Count's response is cut off when several fireworks suddenly go off not far away. Soon after a cloud of thick fog covers the Count's party and all those near them. Rowan can hear a lot of people shouting, most notably the aforementioned nobleman, but can't see much else than the horse next to him, and the animal is clearly about to panic.Last edited by CWater; 2016-03-23 at 09:27 AM.

Of course I just switched away from Steel Wind. Of course. It only takes a few seconds for Aerin to decide what she needs to do. Turning, she charges the wolf nearest her, roaring, "Turn and face me, cur!"

Re: IC Ljonarian Enigma: Tournament Chaos
Eglantine shoved the coins into her pouch, muttering the word to close the portal once they were safely inside. In a whistle her axe was out of the sheath on her back as she charged straight at the spider. She kept an eye on the beetle next to it, ready to defend if it tried anything. As she ran she noticed the man from earlier standing in an empty field. "Get over here!"

Re: IC Ljonarian Enigma: Tournament Chaos
As the animal begins to panic, so does Rowan, as he realizes he has no idea what to do with a horse.
There's so much yelling and chaos that he can barely hear himself think, so he does the first thing that springs to mind. "Everybody calm down!"
Spoiler: Action
So, Rowan's going to use Calm Emotions on this.
Will save DC=15 or, within a 20' radius, agitated creatures temporarily become calm, suppressing fear effects and keeping all affected from performing violent actions, among other things. I have absolutely no idea what this would do to a horse, but at least everyone nearby should stop shouting, hopefully.

Spoiler: AttackSting: (1d20+2)[21]

The elf who was mauled by the summons is still on the ground, barely conscious, but alive.
Spoiler: OOCDon't think a new map is necessary, with only one target left.
Party's turn.
Soon a strong wind starts to blow, likely magical in origin and the fog clears. Half the Count's guards have their swords drawn, ready to fight, but nothing threatening comes to view. Only confused people and more or less calm horses. One guard who had thought to stay on horseback finds himself in close contact with the cobblestones, but he is the only casualty. Rowan doesn't see Ky anywhere.
"Sorry about that!", someone shouts from their right amongst a group of workmen, "One of the fog bubbles stored for the show burst!" The Count scoffs. "Useless idiots", he mutters, but is feeling unusually serene and doesn't care to start a new argument. "I shan't waste any more time here!" He returns to his prized horse and after quickly studying the wound that is no more gives Rowan a reluctant nod and flips a coin in his direction. "Well done, boy. Not a cleric you said, is there still a deity I should thank?", he asks while mounting.
