Khaurum continues his furious fight..(I'm not going to detail all those die rolls here)
Spirit Stalker casts Spell Resistance upon himself, and moves forward, magical Trident in hand.
Led disengages, and runs south...he denies the Babau any opportunity, but the elf sees a chance...however, the caustic dagger fails to strike home.
The Protector sends two blasts at Spirit Stalker.....one flares into nothingness upon his protection, but the other slams into him (20 points). He is able to resist the energy-draining effect, however! The mighty warlock sends his third blast at Led! Spirit Stalkers spell protects him from the devastating energies!
Visty'ai sends another quartet of arrows at the babau! only two of this flight connect...( 6 points and 8 points)
Skyseeker trots north 15', and hurls a flaming javelin at the elf who nearly eviscerated Led! (17 points)
The babau quickens it's ability..to summon another babau! It then uses it's ability to teleport, appearing behind Visty'ai and invoking darkness!
CrushSpike charges at the elf who is knocking loose a second javelin! He misses!
The elf quaffs a potion! Crushspike seizes the opportunityand slams his hammer home! (9 points). The elf maintains his concetration, and drinks it! (heal 39 points).

Realizing that she's still too far away to affect any real damage to the armored warriors with her flail, and not wanting to disentangle the enemies in the web, Annalysei casts Shield on herself while she continues to advance on the two armored warriors.
(ooc - I'm still not good enough with distances to say exactly how much or in which direction I move, so O Wise DM, can you put me where I should be?)

Sigrid completes her spell uninterrupted.
Knarr charges a guardsman while twice calling out, "Valkhan ward me!", working himself into a RAGE! With each call upon Valkhan, his sword glows, and a cascade of sparkling lights flicker briefly around him. His charge, however, fails.
Both archers unleash their full attack upon StarStriker! The entangled archer misses with one shaft due to the web, but his other 2 hit! (4 and 6 points) The second archer sends all of his arrows squarely into his target! (6 points, 7 points, CRITICAL HIT--18 points!)
Invisible, Laurel casts her spell upon StarStriker's bow!
Annelysei quickly advances, casting a Shield upon herself!
StarStriker attempts to cast Shieldupon himself, but horrifically miscasts, overcome by the pain of his wounds! It has been REVERSED! (OOC_-rolled a 1 on Concentration check)
The mezzoloth teleports! It appears now in front of StarStriker!
Vilk runs ahead, intent upon getting to the Mezzoloth!
Vynarkus unleashes his blast upon the mezzoloth! He manages to focus enough to bore through the creatures resistance! (15points!
Knarr's opponent launches a full attack! both of the slashes miss! The other guardsman charges Knarr! (14 points)
Hammerhand powerfully charges the unentangled archer, launching into a Flying Kick! (24 points!)

Kalindriel Hides in Plain Sight and works her way a little closer to the elves and some of the fighting Baatezu. She tries to draw them away from the beleaguered elves.
Leave the elves for now and attack the dragon. Killing it will demoralize them and its flame breath will have no effect upon you!
[She is intentionally leaving out mention of its alternate acidic breath.]

Moving another 30' towards the rest of the party, the invisible bard works the following words in to her song, "Follow the song as you chase after the mezzoloth! I will empower your weapons further as you pass by me to melee."
[ooc]although invisible, Laurel is starting five rows east and two rows north of the mezzoloth. She is moving another 30' to the northeast, so she will wind up three rows south and one row west of Annelysei. She can add even more sonic damage ability to the Screaming Wraith Slayer if Annelysei comes near her, or she can add Sonic Weapon tp the volk's weapons. So, with the DM's approval, she moves while working in the message in to her song of inspiration and then holds off on her standard action until one of the party members is close enough for her to touch their weapon. Then she shall cast Sonic Weapon upon it.
Contingency move, again with DM permission: should none of the party come close enough for Laurel to be able to touch their weapon this round, she casts Sonic Weapon upon her own bow after moving.[/ooc]

Seeing that he's away from danger, Led stops and quaffs his best potion. Then he turns to look at the fight, to decide where he can best help. He sees that CrushSpike is already engaged with the elf who hurt him just recently, with the slimy demon about to step up as well. Closer to, is a blob of darkness, but Led can't tell what's going on in there, and doesn't like his odds of finding out without dying in the process. He moves back north towards CrushSpike, so as to lend some kind of assistance in a moment.

Led drinks his potion (heal 35 points) and moves north!
The Protector invokes a great Caustic Mire!
Visty'ai tries to run out of the darkness...but the Babau seizes the opportunity,to great effect! ( 15 points) Staggered, he gets clear and fires an arrow at the protector, but it misses.

The Babau charges out of the darkness at Visty'ai! He is caught flat-footed! It's vicious claws connect! (20 points)
CrushSpike swings fore and backhand with his hammer, only striking the elf once! (9 points)

Sigrid wards StarStriker!
Seeing himself flanked, Knarr calls upon Valkhan four times, with the same effects as before, before slashing furiously! His longsword and short sword weaving a dizzying attack pattern, one blow from each managing to land! (5 points and 6 points)
The unentangled archer takes a 5' step back, and unleashes a full salvo at HammerHand! He manages to somehow knock one shaft away with his hand, but the other three sink home! ( 12, 7, and 9 points)The entangled archer fires his salvo at Knarr unerringly! (7, 11, 6, and 10 points!)
As Annelysei trots by, Laurel casts her spell!
StarStriker, heeding Sigrid's words, fires upon the swordsman Knarr already struck! Perhaps his trepidation at the looming presence of the mezzoloth affected his aim, for only 2 of his four shafts fly true! His bows magic, however, makes these dire indeed! Upon striking, there's a concussion like Annelysei's flail from Laurel's spell, a blue spark and a crackling noise, a burst of flame, and lastly a chaotic swirl of colors!( 26 points and 25 points!) The swordsman drop, a blasted husk!
The mezzoloth chitters in fury at being unable to attack the elf before it...it steps southeast, and casts Dispel Magic on the area, seeking to strip Sigrid and StarStriker's protections! The Protection and Sanctuaryfade away!
Vilk wheels and charges the remaining unentangled swordsman poised to strike at Knarr! He misses!
Vynarkus was just outside the range of the dispel! He unleashes another blast, but this one sizzles in futility against it's resistance!
The sword-wielding guard swings at Knarr, but only one swipe lands! (7 points)
Hammerhand steps forward, and launches a Stunning strike! (9 points...save failed!) Bow limply dangling from near-senseless hands, the archer staggers, unable to think clearly!

The bard watches the harm dealt to her companions and winces. Allowing her song of Inspire Courage to linger, she starts a new tune, a soulful hymn to Cerana full of Healing energy. As her song soars, she moves in the direction of Knarr, hoping the volk remains within reach for her to attempt to cast a Cure spell upon him when she catches up to him.

Crushspike lost an arm? And yet, he's a construct. They can repair him, can't they? Behind him, Led hears Visty'ai grunt in pain. That one is more frail than Crushspike. If ever there was one in need of a meat shield, Visty'ai is it.
Led turns and charges towards the Babau's exposed rear, hoping that red slime is only disgusting and not also hazardous.

Spirit Stalker gets out of the Caustic Mire, and casts a spell! He summons planar ally, and an Earth Elemental appears!
Led charges the babau! Both claws score deep, despite the resistance of it's otherworldly flesh! (7 points and 2 points! However, the demon's acidic ooze sears his hands! (6 points and 4 points)
The Protector casts a spell from a scroll! Three Barbazu appear!
Visty'ai takes a 5' step, and shoots four arrows at the babau in in his face....As he has exhausted hiss tore of cold iron arrows, these have no effect at all!

The babau takes a step to match Visty'ai, and unleashes a barrage of claws and teeth! (7 points, 8 points, and 7 points)
CrushSpike again attack relentlessly, after 5' stepping clear of the Caustic Mire! (12 points and 6 points)
The elf steps away from the Warforged with a muttered curse,and sends an Eldritch Blast at SKyseeker, twice! Both lance into her, stoicism holding through the first blast but a scream is wrenched from her with the second! (7 points and 12 points)

Sigrid moves to Annelysei and casts Shield of Faith! (Gain 3 deflection bonus to AC)
A previously invisible elf appears, casting a spell from a scroll! At Knarr and Vilk, a cone of multicolored light sprays forth! Knarr is struck by the green light! He stiffens, and drops dead! The swordsman is caught in the friendly fire, struck by the violet light! He disappears with a popof air filling the void where he had stood! Vilk is struck by the blue beam, and freezes, turning to stone!
The entangled archer fires his full salvo at HammerHand, and again one is batted away, but two strike home! (5 and 7 points
Annelysei takes a 5' step to close with the mezzoloth, and unleashes her full attack on it, flail chains screaming! Though it's carapace resists the physical impact of her blows, the sonic energy detonates, cracks radiating from every impact point! (8 points, 14 points, and 10 points) Her spell manages to get past it's Spell Resistance, and it loses 5 Intelligence, 3 Wisdom, and 4 Charisma!
StarStriker elects to whittle away on the entangled swordsmen! His first target dies under three shafts (25 points, 19 points, and 21 points) The lone remaining one is struck by a single shaft! (18 points)
The mezzoloth, enraged by this mere MORTAL having the temerity to actually attack it, and the power to actually HURT it, wields it's trident against Annelysei! She is thrust at twice, the tines of the insectoid's trident stabbing deep on only one! (10 points)
Vynarkus fires another blast at the mezzoloth! Again, it's resistance defeats his power!
Hammerhand unleashes a flurry of blows upon the stunned archer! All four of his lightning fast punches land! (7 points, 12 points, 6 points, 16 points)

Seeing that all the Baatezu and Tanar'ri were occupied, Kali had been making her way back to DarkRock through the scant shadows. The arrival of the Barbazu and the sudden appearance of the elf and his deadly scroll make her throw caution to the wind.
Might as well use all this while I can, she thinks to herself. The elven form she had taken fades to that of a bat-winged, horned woman, though one still dressed in the garb of a Home Guard. She takes flight to land next to DarkRock, quietly telling him the ruse worked well enough and to join the fight.
Free Action: Turn alter self off so only the physical disguise shows. (Natural 20, back when we rolled! =D)
Move Only: Fly to DarkRock.
Bluff: Checking on her 'victim' in case anyone is paying attention.
The bard stares aghast as the yellow spray of Electrical light barely misses her, then morphs in to poisonous green as it washes over Knarr and he falls in front of her, dead instantly. Her horror intensifies as she witnesses the elven rogue strike one of his own with a violet planar spray before melting away with a final spray of blue which hits Vilk, turning him in to stone. Knowing her songs defeat some of the purpose of her invisibility, she decides the benefits of more allies hearing her is worth the risk of being potentially located aurally.
Projecting her voice to cover an even larger area than her own battle scene, she moves back southwest towards the main party. As she moves, she keeps an eye on the elven rogue to see if he pulls out any other magic device while a golden glow from her fingers enhances her longbow with Sonic might.
[ooc]Second round Inspire Courage lingers with the bonus from Inspirational Boost (forgot to mention that in previous summaries)
Swift action Perform check to increase volume of bardic music so all allies fighting can hear Laurel and receive buffs
Continue to sing Healing Hymn
Move four squares southwest to where I was before the last round
Cast Sonic Weapon upon my own longbow[/ooc]
