Hunting Psurlon Murderers

[DM Bob]

Assuming that they are all psurlon...

Four of the figures are humanoid, and have the form of men and elf.

Six are in beast forms: a pair of crude tembo, one albino colored sand howler, two kreen, and a single very large barbed scorpion.

Three are in true psurlon form and appear the furthest from the party. They are truly spread out and approach quickly.

[Niachi]

OOC: What weapons & items are carried by the men and elf-shaped? Any visible items (amulets etc) worn by the psurlons?

[Attilius]

The giant gladiator calls out to his teammates "Back to back on me!" as he moves to make a shield wall with the Balican Centurion.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Seen the incoming threat, Skrye looks in the distance and speaks to Quila and Niachi - "Count 7 from now, everyone far away" - smiling cheeckly, without giving any other explanation, melding with the earth below her feet

[OOC: Round 2 (Initiative 2, Encasement earth cleric power).

SPELLS: 1stLvl(1/5), 2ndLvl(2/5), 3rdLvl(3/4), 4thLvl(3/3)]

[Niachi]

Niachi hears Skrye call out tactical directions and he boogies forward and left to face the target right where they folded in, forming a triad with him at the apex, Coden to his left and Attilius to his right. Min, 7 feet from Skrye.

He will launch 2 Mental Daggers at this target at 12 o'clock point blank to its face.

(Will roll when I get home from V:TES game.)

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Round 2 Initiative: 4 (1 on the die, 5 for spell, -2 for Dex)
Round 2 Intention: Quila steps to the east 15 feet, making sure she lets 'Muiko tag along by reaching for his hand, then casts Obscurement (lvl 2) to cloud the group in a misty vapor 10 feet high, filling an 80 feet square centered on Quila, which "reduces the visibility ranges of all types of vision (including infravision) to 2d4 feet."

Quila moves away from the position she was in when casting after she is ready, still invisible, if she is allowed to move again. She will grasp Jermaine firmly in both her hands and hold her breath anxiously, prepared for just a bit less than the worst. She will have put 'Muiko's hand on her shoulder or her hip, whichever works.

(OOC: rolled 2d4, got 6. So vision reduction to 6 feet.)

[AthasianLaborer]

Round Two Initiative: 11 (9 on the die, +3 Casting Time, -1 Dex)
Round Two Intention: Cast Slow intending on catching as many of the not-worms as possible (it can affect up to 10 if that many are in a 40' cube).

Muiko will then follow Quila's footprints in the sand intending to keep within arm's reach of her.

[DM Bob]

Attilius finds himself somewhere... well, not here. It is misty and grey, with something that seems to be ground beneath him that is indistinguishable from the other featureless haze that surrounds him. This obviously means his attacks do not strike any subject he so intended.

To the rest of you, the goliath simply vanishes.

The tari delves into the earth.

Quila obscures the area after Attilius vanishes and 'Muiko's slow does not seem to register as the foes laugh into the haze.

Niachi does manage to hit one said target, not enough to kill his victim. From the mists, a voice calls out.

"Allow us to take our dead and we shall leave you be. For now."
