Selvin stepped back. He turned to look at the Baron after the roar, and didn't notice what his friends behind him were up to. He slowed his breathing a bit and pointed at Tarrov. "Him first." He tensed slightly, waiting to see if the Baron would honor the agreement or betray them...or if Tarrov had already had something done to him.

In reply to Selvin Larst (msg # 82):

The Baron nods and waves his hand.  You may retrieve him at your leisure.  I do seem to recall him having some wounds.

Izzick and Zuni, the misty cloud is moving towards just over Selvin's head.

Zuni stared at the swirling mist, trying to decide if it was natural or not.  It's odd movements were alarming.  She needed to get Selvin out from underneath the mist but she wasn't sure if she wanted to draw attention to the mist just yet.

"Selvin.  Can I speak with you for a minute?"  Zuni said, motioning Selvin to join her and Izzick away from the cloud.  She would softly point out the mist on ceiling to him when he came close.

Selvin took one step forward towards Tarrov, but then turned to look at Zuni with a frown. He looked torn for a moment on what to do, but finally relented and went back over to Zuni with a quizzical look on his face. "Yes? What's up?"

In reply to Selvin Larst (msg # 85):

I'll answer tomorrow in case Zuni or Izzick want to chime in

Zuni cast a wary glance back at the Baron.  "I just thought that it would be better for me to go and get Tarrov.  You can watch my back." she said, loud enough for the Baron to hear, and then dropped her voice to a whisper.  "the ceiling.  The mist. It...doesn't look right."

Giving Selvin a pat of her hand, Zuni walked towards where Tarrov lay.  She kept her eyes on the Baron. "You won't mind if I get our companion."

"What do you think we should do about it?" Izzick asked, hesitant to use magic, but trying to weigh the choices. Their Dwarven ally might have already fallen. But Selvin was the one in danger.

Selvin waited until Zuni began to move forward - and hopefully the eyes of the Baron and others watched her or at least flicked to her momentarily. He glanced up to see if he could see the mist Zuni had mentioned, and to see if it had followed him over to where he had talked to Zuni.

He shrugged at Izzick. "I'm uncertain. We're treadin' dang'rous waters here, mate. I guess let's see what happens with Zuni an' I'll keep fightin' while you figure out what the mist is...." He swallowed. "...hopefully not a vampire about t'pounce..."

Zuni, You step forward, everything goes quiet. The other ethereal tiger glances at you but does nothing as you walk towards the still form of the silver headed bard.

Selvin and Izzick, The little cloud of mist is hovering slightly over the two of you as you whisper to each other. It does nothing untoward.

Zuni, You reach the bard. He is on his stomach making small groaning sounds. Peeking back at your teammates, than towards the cloud, than at the Arkonas, you reach towards him...slowly...oh so slowly...ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soooooooooo veeeerrryyyyy ssssssllllloooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwlllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyy...

And at the last moment, your Zuni senses start tingling. You manage to scrabble backwards as a hand-that-is-now-a-claw swipes through the air you were just occupying. Tarrov is suddenly up, crouching on the balls of his feet, hissing of
airtight you from a tiger like muzzle. It seems he is now the series that Weretigers in the room. The Dwarf is bounding up as well, certainly nowhere near as hot, but just as weretigerish.

The Baron makes a tsk tsk sound. Oh. Seems like you had a falling out with your friends. So sad.

Zuni took several steps away from the transformed Tarrov and Belgar, her blade flew out of it's scabbard with the tip pointing at Tarrov.

"What did you do to them!" she snarled at the Baron.

OOC:
Shifting into a total Defense stance, just in case.  :)

Selvin's attention suddenly dropped from the mist above them. His gaze snapped over to Zuni and...Tarrov? His eyes narrowed in anger and frustration at seeing his two allies now....How had they been turned into weretigers? Was it a trick or illusion? Were they able to be turned in to weretigers by the Baron after all it was done as well? Was there no protection?

He let out a loud growl. "You lyin' sack of evil crap! What'd you do t'our friends?? An' why??"

The Tarrov Tiger leaps at Zuni

Zuni, he's going at Init 16.  Go ahead and roll for me.  The rest of you as well please

The Baron puts on his shocked face.  Me?  Lying?  At what point did I ever say you would be getting them back as they were?  It's not my fault if you set your expectations too high...

Chandanar shouts I might be able to break the curse!  If you can, capture 'em alive! You know.  Unless they like start rippin' your throat out or somethin'

Selvin rolled his eyes, "Smarmy stupid sonovabitch." He did an obvious parody mimic of the Baron. "Oh I never promised you'd get them back as they were."

He let out another growl and flew forward towards Zuni and Tarrov intending to try and use non-lethal force on the weretiger.

OOC: Initiative 23.
Charging Power Attack Pounce on Tarrov (-4 to attacks for non-lethal).
Hit AC 13 (14 dmg), 26 (16 dmg), 24 (14 dmg), and 16 (13 dmg).

"...alive it is then..."  Zuni muttered, her eyes narrowed as she readied her attack on Tarrov.  Selvin was faster though and he flashed past her to attack their former companion.  Using Selvin as a distraction, she quickly slipped around to get into a better flanking position.

"Hit him high and I'll go low!" Zuni shouted at Selvin.  She spun around, lashing out with her leg.

OOC:
Initiative -> 26
Acrobatics to 'get behind' Tarrov -> 18
Attack 1 -> 27
Damage [Non lethal] -> 5 (+6 Sneak Damage though I don't know if it applies depending on the result of the acrobatics roll)

Attack 2 -> 13
Damage ->3 [Non Lethal] (+3 Sneak)

Zuni and Selvin, the two of you land blows on Were-Tarrov.  He slices Zac back but doesn't pull his punch. 10 pts dam please

You can hear the sound of claws on the stone floor.  Were-Belgar the Dwarf is charging your way.

Izzick, as you prepare to act, you can see the mist cloud above beginning to descend.  And thicken.  It seems vaguely feminine in shape...

Izzick was prepared to attempt subduing the two weretigers when the mist finally began to fall down on him. He took a step back, changing his spell. The apparition wasn't something he really knew how to strike, so he tried to tried and true: Magic Missile - a barrage of 5 force bolts at the descending woman.

10:11, Today: Izzick rolled 17 using 5d4+5.  Magic Missile.

Selvin let out a growl of pain and frustration as Tarrov sliced in to him. He didn't want to hurt his friend, not really, but he knew he didn't have much time. He heard Belgar coming to join the fight as well, and the dwarf wouldn't be on his side. So he continued to try and bring him down non-lethally for the moment. He unleashed another flurry of fangs, claws and stinger against Tarrov, however, it was much less effective this time.

Hit AC 26 for 11 damage, the rest were 11 or less to hit.

Zuni braved a glance over at the charging Belgar and grimaced.  Could they handle two of these were tigers at the same time?  Didn't look like there was going to be much of a choice.

"Dammit Tarrov!  Go down!" she snarled at Tarrov, continuing to kick at him.  "We're trying to help you."

OOC:
Attacks -> 25 & 6
Damage -> 5 & 6
Sneak Damage -> 2 & 4

In reply to Zuni Runesong (msg # 99):

The mist solidifies into a tiger woman just in time to be pelted by Izzick's lobs of glowing half-orcan fury. Ouch, She says as she makes a perfect landing on the floor. Quit it

Tarrov doesn't seem to understand that you're being cruel to be kind. He snarls and then makes a sound like a cat whose had his tail stepped on as he falls to the floor.

You look towards were-Belgar who is stopped in place. Seriously. He's just balancing on one toe. Chandanar Jenks as thumb athe him. Yeah. So I did the spell thing on him. You might wanna subdue him

The Baron and his sister in the adjoining room stand. Chandanar takes a rope out of his backpack. Hey. Why don't I don't the subduing and you guys handle the Arkonas. We all gotta play to our strengths, right?

Selvin let out a breath as Tarrov dropped. He spun towards Belgar but Chandanar was already on it and the dwarf was frozen in place. The words after made Selvin chuckle, however. "Oh, sure. You take the EASY job." Quick pause and then a glance. "Actually, you get any healin' you can hit me with real quick 'fore I jump back in?"

Then Selvin moved a bit and cast a spell, making sure they weren't all clumped together.


OOC: If there is no healing, then Selvin will heal Zac himself. If Chandanar CAN heal him, then Selvin will instead move a bit to catch Izzick in the spell range and cast Haste on himself, Izzick and Zuni.

Chandanar laid a quick 12 pts on you Selvin.  You guys are hasted.

The tension hangs in the air...

Init on my end is a 16...in case needed...

Selvin flashed Chandanar a quick appreciate glance after the spell before casting his own.

I also have a 16 initiative if we are re-rolling.

Zuni listened to Chandanars suggestion and she slowly turned to face the Baron.  Feeling the Haste spell wash over her, she tore off towards the Baron. "The Arkonas line ends here.  Today!" she snarled as she closed the distance and thrust her sword forward. Her blade struck out at the Baron thrice and then with her free hand, Zuni reached out to grab the Baron and try to tangle him up.

OOC:
Activating Challenge on the Baron.
Attacks -> 30 / 31 / 21
Damage -> 25 / 25 / 20 (Plus 2/2/3 sneak if applicable.  Not sure if the Baron counts as having acted or not)

Grapple attempt -> 27

In reply to Zuni Runesong (msg # 104):

Zuni's</Purpe> blade strikes the Baron twice. The blade scratches but does not quite seem to draw blood.  He sidesteps the third blow and then back hands her. Almost casually.  14 pts dam Zuni

Yawn, he says in an offhanded way.

The monk-formerly-known-as-mist-cloud looks at <Purple>Izzick and Chandanar.  And grins.

The third little sister picks up one of the jars and throws it towards Selvin.  It begins to explode in a firey burst...Dam 28 Selvin.  Reflex save vs DC 14 for half

Alrightie.  Let's go.  Oh, and Selvin, was the spell you were casting the Haste spell? Just want to make sure I didn't miss something.  Thanks.

Selvin saw the jar coming, and with the magical aid of the haste spell was able to get out of the way of it in time. It sailed past him and did no damage. He soared forward, charging in flight at the sister, hoping to keep the weretigers separated for the moment. But he planned to attack the Baron soon and help Zuni take him down quickly hopefully.

OOC: Yes, Haste was caste on Selvin, Izzick, Chandanar and Zuni. Lasts 8 rounds.
Haste is a +1 bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves, and an extra attack at your highest BAB if you full attack.

Reflex Save 16 and Evasion, so no damage.

Charging Hasted Power Attack on sister. Let me know if you need the electrical damage separately.
Hit AC 23 (16 dmg), 17 (11 dmg), 26 (20 dmg), 30 (11 dmg), 14 (15 dmg), 15 (13 dmg).
