Round 3 - Ramir slashes at the Gulgians again, howling curses and slurs at the for the crowd! (Initiative 5+2=7; attacks: rolled 3 - miss & 19, hits AC -2, 13 dmg)

Round 3 - initiative: 5-2 (total of 3); Ylonis will move graciously using acrobatic moves to position herself advantageously for the 'psionic activation' of Color Spray, forming an area of effect in which she wants to catch ideally 6 Gulgans and none of her compatriots. I have 120' movement, but only need 60' to close the final distance, can I move out of melee range after activating? If so, I do that.

(OOC: I rolled a 6 vs 17 for somatic concealment, and a 9 vs 17 for psionic mimicry. Both are successful. My Color Spray targets 2 of the Gulgites. Also, for an arena mage, foes have an 85% chance they won't realize where a spell originated for the first two rounds)

AC 4 (AC 0 with Tumbling, AC -4 with Shield for regular attacks, device-propelled AC -5, hand-hurled AC -6), hp 6 (missing half due to templar beating), PSP 46, 8 rounds of Shield remain.

Round 3: Initiative with double-blade spear: 8,

Yag adjusts flight and dives full speed out of the sun at the one Gulgan leader he targeted with Tactics. His double spear is held in both feet, blades facing left and right. With his weapon bonuses, 4 attacks (3 from double spear expertise, then 1 more. Next round 1 attack) 1st on leader; 2nd on a Gulgan flanking the leader; 3rd and 4th on leader again:
1) hits AC 9
2) big miss
3) hits AC 1: damage 1.
4) miss (rolled 3)

He swoops high to circle back.

- Nadiya moves to the other side, getting her side on the battlefield, her eyes piercing the dust in the air like a distressing announcement of an incoming sandstorm, aiming her target like the eye of a hurricane, looking to drag her target down to earth, to be swallowed like a defendless creature in a quicksand pond.. But failing in the attempt

Isn't your action still round 3 though?

[Deleted]

Ylonis's spell manages to catch five of the Gulgans, but three resist the effect! The two who are not so lucky crumple, unconscious, out of the fight for some time. The crowd roars. The Thri-Kreen chokes and twitches, inching closer to death. The Mul does much the same. Yag's swooping attack draws the stands' adoration, as his form is admirable--unfortunately, his target is hardly scratched. The audience doesn't seem to mind, much, though...Nadiya's arrow falls just short, whizzing through her target's legs and burying itself in the bloodied sand. The elves continue to open fire, loosing arrows from short range. They manage to drop another Gulgan between them! By now, the crowd has returned to the party's side. Kharam sighs and rushes forward, trying an easier Psionic power in an attempt to finally accomplish something. This also fails, wasting 15 more PSPs and his entire turn. The Dwarf, rushing forward and finally reaching the enemy line, attacks with his sword at one of the men surrounding Rikus. His attack is easily dodged, even from behind. Ramir's slash lands hard on one Gulgan's shoulder, and Bharnag's javelin lands similarly, leaving the target nearly dead. By the time the Gulgans surge forth to attack again, they number only 7--3 are dead, 2 unconscious. The remaining seven focus on Rimir, who is nearest. Out of seven attacks, only two manage to hit Rimir for a paltry 8 points of damage. The lion's share of the enemy attacks glance harmlessly off of his shield. ((Round 3 ends. Round 4 action input.))

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Nadiya unsheaths another arrow, pointing and aiming to one of the Gulgites that head towards the front liners of this side like a weakened stampede - 'Nothing like weaken your prey with a sting before taking it down by surprise' - Thinks before sending her arrow like a deadly singing note, a discordant melody for one of the Gulgite warriors. The tension in the bow, the focus that much that the imperfect built of the bow makes the string to snap badly.
- 'For everything! The string slipped out of my grip and snapped!' - She curses and starts to look around for any other ranged weapon dropped by any of the members of her side of the battlefield.
Nadiya can feel sweat running down her forehead, not just the sun that heats her but more about the situation, as she is not used to this type of scenery..

[OOC: Round 4 I failed badly with a natural 1, so I roleplayed the failure somehow]

[ascieszl]

The Half-Giant concentrates and grows fur and claws on his hands and feet as his face elongates into a furred muzzle filled with shark teeth (Animal Affinity: rolled Nat 1 - gains attacks & THAC0 of a Tigone).

Rimir gives a low growl as his fangs and claws glint in the harsh run sunlight.

Round 4: initiative with double spear: 7 (yay!)

Yag feeds off the crowd's energy and with a raptor's diving attack, caws out his name over and over to steel himself up and get the crowd cheering along: "Yag! Yag! Yaaaag!"

1 attack this round against the leader, or if they are down, someone distracted in their attacks on the half giant:
Hits AC6, damage 6 if it connects.


AC 1, HP 22. 2 rounds of Bless remaining.

Bharnag slips the satchel of 9 javelins from his back and waives to Nadiya for her to pick them up. He narrows his eyes at the leader of the Gulgans, psionically slowing the Gulgan officer down as Bharnag draws his Impaler and rushes him. "TAKE DOWN THEIR OFFICER YOU MEKILLOT HEADS!!"

((Standard 60' move, psionic power, melee attack 3/2, so only 1 attack this round))

Init roll: 1+5 (Impaler Speed) 6
Rigidity Psionic roll: 19 (POWER SCORE!!, 30 yard range, target suffers -6 to attack rolls and -7 AC, +7 to init penalties and can't physically communicate or observe well) Success!
Impaler Attack Roll: 3 Hit AC 13 (with the above penalties, this hits AC6)(THAC0: 19, +2 for bless and bardic inspiration, -1 for bone weapon, +1 for specialization)
Impaler Damage Roll: 2 (-1 for bone weapon, +2 for specialization) 3 damage

Round 4 - initiative: 5-2 (total of 3); Ylonis does some backflips to move away from melee nearness after downing some Gulgites, and then takes two bow shots again. I first take a shot at the Gulgan that is nearly dead from Ramir and Bharnag's attacks but still in the fight. If the Wanderer looks favorably upon me I might have the chance to take a shot on a second target too.

(OOC: I rolled a 12 for AC 5 and a 15 for AC 2, doing 2 and then 3 damage.)

AC 4 (AC 0 with Tumbling, AC -4 with Shield for regular attacks, device-propelled AC -5, hand-hurled AC -6), hp 6 (missing half due to templar beating), PSP 46, 7 rounds of Shield remain.

[Niachi]

(Yag rolls a 10 for Charisma check, vs. 14)

The crowd is with him!

[Deleted]

Ylonis's arrows do manage to finish off another of the enemy troops, further swinging the fight in the party's favor. The Thri-Kreen is still alive, but not for long, at this rate. The Mul seems to be doing a bit better, but he'll be dead, soon, too. Though the crowd is with Yag'ghaara, it doesn't stop the enemy officer from just barely sidestepping his swing. Nadiya's bowstring snaps at this time, though few besides she herself seem to notice amidst the chaos. The elves, however, manage to miss all four of their shots this round. A shame, considering their previous deeds. Finally, Kharam gets to grips with the Way--Rimir sees the obsidian blade turn to dust in a Gulgan's hand! Kharam laughs heartily from somewhere behind Rimir, having finally reached combat. He takes a swing at the officer, which connects but seems to do barely any real damage. "Good luck fighting now, maggot!" The Dwarf continues fighting doggedly, wading into combat with his bastard sword. Unfortunately, his strokes are quickly parried, for the moment. The officer, rendered helpless now by Bharnag's Psionics, is stung by the thrown javelin! Rimir's Animal Affinity seems to give several Gulgans pause--they're not sure how to proceed. Half the Gulgans are gone now--6 active, 2 unconscious, 4 dead. The officer takes a swing, but whiffs by a mile due to his slowed state. Yet more arrows and swords bounce harmlessly off of Rimir's shield--only a single swipe hits him, and for only 3 damage. The crowd is still shouting Yag's name. (Round 4 ends. Input Round 5 actions.)

Round 5: 

Rimir tears into the Gulgians with his wrist razor and bite (WZ: rolled 14, hits AC -4, 12 dmg; Bite: rolled 11, hits AC -1, 13 dmg).  Assuming the attacks hit, gore showers all those around him.

[Deleted]

Bharnag maintains the psionic hold on the officer as he wades into the melee full force. His bone impaler will keep targeting the officer until he falls, then he'll target whatever Gulgan is next nearest to him.

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!?!"

Initiative Roll: 10 +5 (impaler speed) 15
Psionic 3psp to maintain Rigidity (Officer remains -6 to attack rolls and -7 AC, +7 to init penalties and can't physically communicate or observe well)
Impaler attack rolls (3/2, so 2 attacks this round): 13 & 8  Hit AC 5 & 10 (THAC0 19, -1 bone weapon, +1 specialized, +1 bless spell)
Impaler Damage: 1 & 3 (-1 bone weapon, +2 specialized) AC5 attack: 2 dmg, AC10 attack: 4 dmg
