The Gnomes are about to beach and without Mezreth's additional propulsion, Feryl slows back down again. She is till only 20' away but if Mezreth were there she would be able to get her raft side-to-side with the Gnome's one. Drez is still trailing 40' behind Feryl.
Suddenly, Mezreth pops back up and out of the water, shakes it from his eyes and begins pushing Feryl's raft again.
[Private to Feryl Baenre: Please make a listen check followed by a spellcraft check.]

Feryl see's she is 20 feet away and that she has it sio her raft will beach next to the gnomes. She listens for what they are doing and readies herself...

[Private to DM N1NJ4C0W:  Ready to Counterspell.
Listen: 32
Spellcraft: 19]

Drez continues to row for all he is worth putting out some extra effort even though he is beginning to tire.

Mezreth starts propel whit greater effort and strenght than before, whatever he faced down there he seems not intent face it again!

Onde turns her gaze towards one of the orc shepards and approaches him.  "Tell me, slave.  Why did you allow the gnomes to leave this island?  Surely, you realized you would be punished for their insolence."

Seeing that the gnomes were getting away, Ahran quietly chuckled, and readied the components for a spell that might keep them from getting too far ahead.


[Private to DM N1NJ4C0W: Ready action to cast Web centered on the gnomes raft if they reach the shore.]

The raft beaches. Ahran casts a spell that encases the area surrounding the raft in thick webbing. Mezreth's darkness spell hasn't dissipated yet so noone can see what the Gnome's reaction was.

Onde confronts a shepherd back on the isle who speaks in crude Low Drow.
"They bullied us mistress." it whines "They had weapons and spells and said that they'd kill us all if one of us reported it to the masters."
[Private to Feryl Baenre: You hear the casting perfectly but can't make out the spell in order to counter it.]

"And just how did they smuggle weapons and equipment on this island in the first place?  Are they even from here or are they outsiders?"

"What ever spell the gnomes are casting, I cannot counter," Feryl calls out as she readies her self to jump to the shore.

Drez redoubles his effort to reach the shore.

Mezreth lightly bumps the darkness-covered raft with the one Feryl is on, who subsequently levitates up to avoid falling into the water when she loses balance.

Drez will beach in the next round.

"I think they're from that Gnome city...uh...Blinderstone or something and I don't know how they smuggled the weapons, I haven't left this island in a tenday." replies the Orc to Onde.

"How long have them been on this island and who did they talk to?  You've been here a tenday, so you must have watched their activities while they were here."

After bumbing the raft pitifully little Mezreth swims and hurries to the shore and tries get beach fastly as he can get and go to the gnome's raft.

When Drez reaches the shore he looks for the gnomes and runs in their direction.

OOC: Ummm, so what are you guys doing with the raft? It's beached, it's covered in darkness & webbing, no Gnomes are apparent

Feryl rushes to the Gnomes raft and walks on the webs like they were solid ground. "They must have teleported some how. They cast a spell I could not understand or stop." She says as she examines the area.

Ahran had been about to dispel the darkness and his own webs, when he saw the female rushing to the raft.  Gliding down through the air, he drifted down close to the raft, keeping a bit above the ground - just out of the Draegloths reach, to be precise.

You all hear a scuffle, the sound of Gnome voices from aboard the raft. Suddenly Feryl disappears into the darkness.

[Private to Feryl Baenre: A dozen hands grab hold of you and bring you into the darkness.]

So much for the teleportation-theory, huh? Ahran thought, and quickly began casting the spell he'd thought of a moment ago, seeking to dispel the darkness.  Sadly, though, it didn't work as he had planned, and the darkness persisted.


[Private to DM N1NJ4C0W:  Using the area effect version of Dispel Magic.  If there are any other spell effects in there, feel free to roll for me.

21:47, Today: Ahran Quar'Xun rolled 23 using 1d20+7. Dispel (Web).
21:46, Today: Ahran Quar'Xun rolled 11 using 1d20+7. Dispel Magic (Darkness).]

Mezreth angirly growls to the drow mage above him, seeing he is source of the dispell attempt.

"Is he assisting gnomes or is he a mettler?"

"Stay out from this mage!"

Mezreth mentally dispells the darkness and jumps onto the raft, trying ignore the webs whit sheer of his might and agility alone and starts do 'hand sweeps' troughout the deck, quessing gnomes are invisible. When he 'spots' something in the deck he plans try grab it and shred it.
[Private to GM: 22:10, Today: Secret Roll: Mezreth rolled 15 using 1d20+8. Ref save. For web effect.]

Feryl laughs as she is grabbed by the gnomes. As soon as she is drawn into the dark she casues an activiation and the crackling of electricity is heard from within.

[Private to DM N1NJ4C0W: Acticate Lightning Flash from Ring:

Damage: 14 Hps electrical damage to all within 5'.
               Those touching me get no save.
               Those not touching me get a Reflex save DC 13 for half dam. ]

"The fools are in here Mezreth, you may kill what ever is left." She laughs, "Can you believe they actually laid there hands on a Priestest of Lloth!"
[Private to DM N1NJ4C0W: Initimidate: 16]

Mezreth grins to his mistress words and says; "Judgement for that defilement is quite clear..." Mezreth continued hand sweep the area and until he manages touch and find anything gnome alike to touch near where Feryl speaked he plans grab the gnome and shred it. Whit his massive bulk it is easy to cover big area in the raft and he haves four arms to scan the area.

Drez heads towards the raft looking for anything that might be a gnome. If he cannot see them he will wait untill he can before striking.

"Answer my questions, orc, before I lose my patience with you.", Onde says with growl.
