She moves away from Cryak, sensing a bigger threat incoming.

Trees falling from that way, rug is here...so I'll move over there....

[Moving so that when it comes into the clearing, there will be flanking. Lots of flanking.]

I no know you Burpy Talky Man. But if you hurt my kitty, the wingy girls, or the non wingy girls. You will be Dealt With. I will end you...

Try to see what is making this racket, one I get visual on it, study.

Darethon. You gave us good hunty earlier. Please be with us as we hunty this whatever-that-is-no-dragon that is hunty us. Love you. 'Trina.

I make sure I'm a good distance from led, so that we're not giving the beast one target to charge.

I get ready to cast Dismissal on it. [Range 55'. It must make a Will save against a save DC of (33 - its Hit Die).]

[Are we on the ground, now? Not way up in the very top branches? The way the branches are supposed to be interwoven, I'd be surprised if even uprooting a tree could topple it.]

Led listens to the crashing. By the sound of it, this thing might be entertaining, even if it's not a dragon. He sets himself up on a long stretch of ground where he can get a good running charge at the thing, once it's close enough for the others to get to it.

As a side thought, he tries to judge how fast the thing is moving through the trees. Maybe the party can simply outrun it. Or, since it's clearly walking... they could just stay high enough over the treetops to be untouchable.

To Skyseeker, he adds "When I get Ruthorford back from Marrick's body, you can borrow it. It's big, and would probably not like an infernal elephant thingy too much. But you'd have to get up-close and personal to use it. Can you do that?"

"My apologies." The shadow makes a sweeping bow.

"I forget we have intelligent thinking beings in this group at times. Reason gets lost all too often to mindless indulgences..." she trails off while rolling her eyes away from Led.

Led smirks at Kalindriel, and says "So there. She told you!" He tries to hide the actual pain he feels as a result of the Charm effect that's still in effect.

Why would you hurt me like that, Mistress?

OOC--map will be created at home, posting from work....sssshhhhh

The Maelephant bursts into sight, gaze fixating rapidly upon Kalinriel's shadowy form.....

Sigrid casts her ready Dismissal, but the creature's eldritch nature resists her theurgy!

Katrina gazes intently upon the monstrosity...pinpointing where to strike to most readily Deal With it.

Kali says to no one in particular, "Seriously? You're most angry at me? Damnable Hellspawn."

She sets to receive it's charge. If it really wants to get to her, then it will have to impale itself upon the length of Vhashik.

[Set to receive charge using the tree behind her. Delay action if necessary. Full attack (+16/+11/+6), drain energy with each, shadow strike with each.]

Cryak stands as the creature bursts into view. "WOOee! Lookit that thing!" He grins as he hoots with pleasure and attacks the beast as it runs past.

Led notices Kali readying to receive the charge. He adjusts his charge so that once the thing has gotten to her (and hopefully stopped), Led himself will arrive and take advantage of her flanking position to distract him.

I say a word I shouldn't know. It's a very rude word in Elvish.

I cast Scorching Ray at the maelophant.

My jaw drops at Sigrid's word. I'm surprised she knows it. My mother only used that word when she was ready to throttle my father. I repeated it once, and she made me drink a tonic so foul that I never considered using it again. My winged temptress has a temper on her, I see. I stay alert, waiting for the malephant.

Oooooo, she said ^&*($

Trying not to giggle at the word, she moves to be ready to attack from a flanking position once her studying of it's anatomy is finished.

Cryak lashes out with his might axe as it charges past him, two blows as it approaches, and one opportune slash as it passes! Only his first blow lands....and it's hide ablates much of his effect! (6 points)

Skyseeker's axe arcs out as she moves to the same side as Trina....striking and returning! Again, its hide resists the damage....but the anarchic enchantment send wild energies into the beast! (7 points)

It impales itself quite thoroughly upon Kalindriel's dire blade, a vital point lanced, foul sludgy ichor gouting from the wound on its neck!.....(CRITICAL HIT!! 15 points)

Led charges, bounding from tree to tree before leaping majestically..but misjudging and coming up short!

The maelephants tusks gore Kalindriel as it charges! (42 points)

Anna casts her spell and savagely beats the infernal monstrosity! her first two slams land, but the fiends tough hide deflects her other attacks! The power of her blows lends force to her spell, enabling her to literally pound the spell past its resistance! However, it manages to focus its will and remain strong. (12 phys, 5 sonic, 6 holy and 11 phys, 4 sonic, 9 holy)

Sigrid unleashes a trio of beams with her Scorching Ray spell! All of them burn deep into the beast! (16, 13 and 19 points)

"Sigrid, try your new spell!" shouts the scout, after completely failing to do anything to the giant thing.
  • Hold action until after Sigrid casts.
    Climb up the tree behind Kali, until I'm 10' over it's head.
    Drop down on top of it. DFA (with skirmish).
I hope this tree holds.

[We have lock, I repeat, we have a lock on target]

Ooooo, I have to hit it.....there!

Full attack, if no dex for him, 5 attacks. 4 claws and a bite. If he has dex, 4 attacks, 3 claws and a bite. DR is irrelevant after first strike due to Shadow Striking.

He tried to squish Kali. Bad Elephant. BAD!

Cast Critical Strike on my second claw attack (Swift: +1d6 sneak attack damage, double crit range, +4 crit threat).
