Daltin finishes his swing and in a fluid, well-practiced motion draws a small vial, bites off the wax seal and downs its contents, before picking up his target for another swing.

OOCThink of the "psyching up" as almost as a dwarven Haka without the continuous chants...

*FRONT ROW*

As arrows *whizzed* past Yohan was dodging acid from his foe at point blank range and after a savage onslaught that saw the fall of the mighty hovering dragonkin the Knight of Aster turned to acknowledge Daltin in between breaths.

"... I'll be calling you dragon slayer after this..."

It was another miracle that Yohan remained unscathed this round, his faith and righteous anger had protected him from the evil enemy. Emboldened from his last smite upon the undead dragonkin, Yohan renews his attacks upon the evil undead acid spitting dragonkin before him

*CRACK*... 11 blunt force trauma..
*BASH*... miss ..

Human (Chondathan), Cleric of Lathander

---

Frustrated at the failure of his turning, Baldin is surprised to see the undead wink out of existence. Doing his best to adapt quickly, Baldin pauses in his planned healing of Daltin and instead tries to work on hampering the remaining cultists by letting them experience another "blessing" of Lathander.

OOC

I am casting Heat Metal.

I'm a little confused about the targeting rules. If the circle option can affect metal held by people, then I want the circle to overlay all four cultists. If the only way to effect metal in someone's possession is by the first target rule, then I will target the two back cultists.

Group A

The skeletal orcs swing their falchions at the remaining dwarf warrior but do not manage to connect.

The holy hammer smashes into one skeleton and shatters it with ease. Finwe completes a warding and steps forward, blade drawn.

The cultists within the webbing can still be heard struggling within the tightly knit strands of arcane webbing.

Qwynn rolls his barrel to the side and draws his blades as well.

The two cultist zombies, barely visible though the dense webbing, seem to make some progress in breaking free of the webbing.

The lone dwarf warrior, now flanked by Finwe and Qwynn, take the moment's respite to step back and let you two take point., injured as he is.

Group B

With everyone engage in close combat, Dolan hesitates again.

Baldin calls on the Morninglord to sizzle the cultist warriors in their armor. The effect seems to take hold of one of the cultist archers as his scale mail seems to glow a slight red.

Daltin grabs for a potion despite his rage and though it elicits swings from both of the cultists before him, he manages to deflect the blows and down the contents of the potion, a searing heat running through him as some of his wounds begin to knit together.

With the draconic beats gone, Yohan can focus on the cultist warrior before him, smashing his mace into the hapless warrior and almost bringing him to his knees.

The semi-translucent black scythe swipes at Yohan, missing its mark, before fading from view.

The acolyte who's summoned it moves forward up the stairs, drawing a fine scythe as he enters the bubble of silence.

Beldas, blades drawn, moves behind Daltin, ready to fill his place should the raging whirlwind of a warrior colapse.

Another pair of dragon shaped bolts of dark energy slam into Daltin.

While two cultists loose arrows at Daltin and Yohan, both flying wide, one swings at Daltin, but only grazes his breastplate. The cultist Yohan had struck retrieves a potion and tries to down it, opening him so swings from Daltin and Yohan as he does so.

The dwarves, Bettargh included, let fly another volley of arrows, this time at the cultists. Once sinks into the shoulder of the cultist afflicted with Baldin's supplication.

*FRONT ROW*

It was a battle for the stairs to which Daltin and Yohan were holding their ground as the onslaught of dragonkin and undead were unrelenting... and then the battle took a turn as the first wave of the evil enemy from the abyss below were defeated.

The foul magic of a bodyless spectral scythe slicing through the heroes front lines finally dissipated after a final strike at the Soldier of Light. With Lathandar's help. Yohan's heavy mace comes around for another swing intent on downing his foe if Daltin's axe has not ended him after another vicious attack... 7 blunt force trauma dam

"... ..."

There were no words, just bloody violence. It was another miracle that Yohan remained unscathed this round, his faith and righteous anger had beome righteous violence upon the evil enemy. Evil undead abominations were laid to rest and human dragon cultists formed the second wave...

*CRACK*... ..6 blunt force trauma dam
*BASH*... ..3 piercing dam

Daltin and Yohan were covered in wounds but still they fought on with an unyeilding determination. Further down in the darkness there was no telling how many more foes they had to face, Beldas seemed to have a grip on the battle so Yohan left the dwarves to their own devices. No doubt they would continue to fire volleys of crossbow bolts on the enemy beyond the front lines...

"..."

The Knight of Aster's battle plan was to take down one enemy at a time ... and with Lathandar's blessing they would be victorious.

The spiritual hammer spins and attacks the last standing skeleton, smashing that one too.

With the immediate threat cleared Finwe decides to see if he can finish off those in the webs and hopefully catch the two casters that were back there.

Get ready with your barrel. I am going to use my last fireball which will destroy the webs and hopefully those trapped in it.

Fireball Refl Save DC 17. Not sure how the web affects their reflex saves since it hinders their movement.

 

Hooded lantern with Continual Flame is hanging from his belt.

 

Kodo has scent so can detect them if they get within 30', but can only pin point them if they are within 5'. Unless he spends a move action concentrating and trying to locate the smell. Not sure if that is a skill or just a flat Stat check. I am guessing it would be Wisdom.

The last standing skeletal orc, unperturbed by it's companions destruction, swings it's falchion and Finwe almost severing an artery and drawing blood. Had it been living it might be gleeful.

The holy hammer smashes into the last skeleton and shatters it with ease. it then vanishes as if it never were. Finwe completes another incantation and another small bead of flames hurls froth to bloom into a massive roar of flames as the webbing is engulfed and a wave of heat flows over Finwe and the other defenders. When the flames clear a breath later, the arcane webbing is no more and so are the zombies and cultists who were trapped within!

The two cultists below eye Finwe for a breath. One points a wand at him and utters a commend. A pair of dragon shaped bolts of dark energy fly swiftly towards him only to dissipate harmlessly as they collide with his warding and fizzle out. The cultist with the wand curses and both turn on their heels and run down away into darkness.

With everyone engage in close combat, Dolan hesitates again.

Baldin calls on the Morninglord to bolster him with his blessings. The armor of the cultist he'd targeted begins to appear reddish, searing the cultist within who shouts out in pain.

The cultists drops the potion in his hand, shattering it on the stone stairs, as Daltin slashes him open when he exposes his chest. Daltin then follows this by dropping another cultists the stair floor bleeding.

Taking a step forward Yohan smashes both mace and shield into the cultist just below him.

Beldas, steps into Yohan's previous position, taking up his flank at the top of the stair.

Another pair of dragon shaped bolts of dark energy slam into Daltin from below.

One of the cultists steps up the stair over his fallen companion's body to wrap around Yohan and attacks Daltin. The cultist before Yohan attacks the holy warrior. Both manage to draw blood. The cultist attacking Yohan even strikes a vital spot under his armor, but somehow, Yohan manages to evade the worst of it. The cultist, his armor clearly heating up quickly seems only slightly encouraged between grimces.

The scythe wielding cult caster steps up beside his cultists warrior and slashes at Yohan, drawing blood as the broad scythe slashes across the holy warrior's chest.

The dwarves, Bettargh included, let fly another volley of arrows at the cultists. Once sinks into the arm of the cultist afflicted with Baldin's supplication again! He seems rather weakened standing before Yohan.

*FRONT ROW*

Yohan found himself flanked with the enemy attacking him from all sides ... A blade found a weak spot in his armor and left a painful bleeding wound, and a Scythe slashing Dragon cultist cut across his chest...

The Knight of Aster somehow remained standing after suffering terrible wounds, maybe he was dead but he just didn't know it yet.

Yohan felt thirsty as his blood began to drain from his new wounds ... he needed a drink... "... I'm Thirsty...!"

Retreating from the triple threat confronting him, Yohan moves back through the dwarven ranks to take a break and let another champion step up to take some glory from the battle.

It is a bloodied and thirsty Yohan that finds Dolan, he pauses and blood drips onto the floor around him. His heavy mace and shield still clenched tightly in a death grip, the Knight of Aster seeks a brief reprieve from battle.

"Hi Dolan, do you have anything to drink ?... I'm thirsty ."

Qwynn laughs a bit and looks to his companions and says, "I stabbed a dead one. Ha! Ha! Ha!" His short blades make a grave wound to one that was already defeated and so he found his action humorous. "What now? Ready ourselves for the next wave? Chase after them?"

I thought the skull icon meant "skeleton" and not "dead". Anyways, I thought I would mention that in post with his error in thinking he crit a live one.
