[IC] Chapter 1-9: Circle of Hate

[DM Surranó]

OOC - When I say turn of multiple characters they can post simultaneously and I will resolve them in the order listed. So yes, it was OK to post but not to move yet. If Toot had posted before you then you could've moved as well. This is to avoid confusing moves of others. But now it's all resolved so I can see no problems or ambiguities.
OOC2 - The elemental hits AC40 (remember 20=30 for attacks) even if it's not a crit... but 30 is much more than sufficient in this case

(Round three continued and closed)

Toot steps into safety and starts casting while Boo carefully follows him to act as a Wall of Meat (which sounds like a necromantic druid spell). He does so well because the warrior to the southwest tries to pierce his fur coat but misses (AOO AC19).
NOTE: the blue aura around Toot is a magic circle against evil. Use it wisely.

The elemental helps Giant flank the skeleton and delivers a mighty hit.

Portho moves to safety and casts a spell but the cloaked figure continues his chant with undisturbed grace.

The armorer pops his head up and assesses the situation. Shining light mace in hand, he climbs out to the south and manages to bypass the warrior's shield just to be blocked by its chain shirt.

Torin's spiritual rapier does a great maneuver but is blocked by the figure's rock hard skin. The priest prays to Lirr and expects the goddess to respond next round by sending three mighty bisons to his aid, two of them flanking the cloaked figure.

Round four

The villain continues chanting after the attack.

Lugar can barely wait to get upstairs and assumably spits selected pieces of duergar wisdom all the time. (add more as you see fit...)

The southern warrior pierces through the last magical bits of the earth elemental which collapses to nothingness, then approaches Portho just to miss him big time. (AC13)

Giant's turn!
