The water elementals did not reply. Instead they attacked.

WE1 slapped Grettanah for 6hp.
WE2 slapped D'aden, but he was able to dodge the blow.
WE3 slapped Olven, but he to avoided being hit.
WE4 slapped Des, who expertly avoided the slap.


[What do you do?]

The monks hands flew in rapid succession towards his foe.

Attack: Triple Rapid Strike (-6)
09:46, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 6,4,13 using 3d6,3d6,3d6. Karate 18-6(3xRS) = 12.
     Success. Critical success. Failure.
09:49, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 7,9,6 using 3d6,3d6,3d6. Critical Hit Table.
     Accidentally rolled three times. Sorry!
     "If any damage penetrates DR, treat it as if it were a major wound, regardless of the actual injury inflicted."
09:51, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 7,8 using 1d6+4,1d6+4. Punch damage 1d+4 cr.
     First one is for the regular success. Second for the critical.

Knocked back by the solid blow Grettanah falls to the ground, tumbling into the adjacent wall.

D'aden skips back, and chides at the water, "Either you calm your wet selves down or I swear I'll throw dirt in you."
Then edges towards towards Grettanah in an attempt to make sure she's not seriously injured.

"Fine.  If you want to play rough, you'll find plenty here," Olven Wolf says, stepping back towards Grettanah even as he attacks the closest water creature.  His axe flashes through the air at the elemental once, then again.

OOC:  Two attacks.

Des punched one of the elementals twice and it felt like hitting hardened water, but the second strike brought the elemental to the ground.

Grettanah sat on the floor with her back against the wall and D'aden took his time trying to make sure how serious it was.


Olven Swung his axe twice against the elemental facing him, it sort of felt like swinging his axe through water, but slower. He hit both times.

One Water elemental stepped forward towards Grettanah and kicked her, but with luck beyond luck he hit the shield strapped to her arm.

Another followed D'aden, but its slap missed. And the one attacking Olven did likewise.

WE1 On Grettanah
WE2 On D'aden
WE3: On Olven
WE4: Was on Des. Prone; likely stunned, but could be heart attack, agony, choking, daze, or ecstasy.

[OOC: As I forgot to take Grettanah's shield into account last attack, it saves the day this attack.]

[What do you do?]

"Are we hurting these things?" Olven asks, swinging his axe twice more against the closest creature even as he tries to maneuver closer to Grettanah.

OOC:  Two more attacks.

The Elementals blow winded her, taking a few deep breaths before trying to scramble to her feet.

ooc evade

Des crouched and struck fast at the downed elemental just to be sure.

Attack: Deceptive Attack (-2/-1)
21:23, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 13 using 3d6. Karate 18-2(DA) = 16.
     Target defends at -4 (-8 if stunned).
21:28, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 5 using 1d6+4. Punch damage 1d+4 cr.

D'aden side steps attempting to get between WE2 and the elemental attacking the Grettanah. As he does so, he whips out the borrowed sword and cuts at the water elemental.

OOC: 00:51, Today: D'aden Tor VIII rolled 7,10 using 3d6,3d6. resist On The Edge (15), Overconfidence (12).
That's good, I don't have to try a push kick on the water elemental
00:56, Today: D'aden Tor VIII rolled 6 using 3d6. fast-draw sword (15).
That's good, too, now I can try to hit him with the sword.
01:02, Today: D'aden Tor VIII rolled 8 using 3d6. hit WE2 (smallsword - 14).
Yes, I actually managed to cut the water... oh... water...
01:03, Today: D'aden Tor VIII rolled 10 using 2d6+2. sword damage.
sigh

Another two swipes of Olven's axe sailed through the elemental's water as he better positioned himself near the healer.

Grettanah rose to her feet.

Des crouched and punched again. The water elemental did not try to evade the strike.

D'aden moved and sliced his sword through the water elemental facing him, the movement of the sword feeling like it does when swung in water.

Olven used his shield to block the elemental's strike.

But Grettanah wasn't as lucky and her elemental struck her again, despite her efforts to avoid the attack. And she collapses on the ground. (Lose 7hp)

And D'aden received a wet slap too (lose 4 hp).

WE1 On Grettanah
WE2 On D'aden
WE3: On Olven
WE4: Was on Des. Prone; likely stunned, but could be heart attack, agony, choking, daze, or ecstasy.

Grettanah is likely unconscious or dead, but could be in a coma, paralysis, or sleeping.

D'aden retreats, muttering "aiowwater" and sheathing his sword.

OOC: would you believe I'm retreating and sheathing my sword?

Des meditated for a moment, preparing his next attack.

Step to standing posture and Concentrate

"Keep fighting them!" Olven Wolf says, swinging his axe again.  "The priest said these elementals could be injured."  His heart sinks as Grettanah is struck again, but there is little the mercenary can do but continue his attack.

OOC:  Two more attacks.  Olven will try to place himself between Grettanah and the elementals.

Olven kept attacking the water elemental, the first swing connected, but the second did not, while taking up a defensive position over Grettanah.

At the same time Des was meditating and D'aden retreated, having sheathed his sword.

Two of the elementals now focused their efforts on Olven. But one of them missed and Olven blocked the other's attack with his shield.

One elemental swiped at D'aden, but missed.

The last elemental swiped at Des, but not only did he avoid the swipe, his will kept an iron hold on his concentration

WE1 On Olven
WE2 On D'aden
WE3: On Olven
WE4: Was on Des. Prone; likely stunned, but could be heart attack, agony, choking, daze, or ecstasy.

Grettanah is likely unconscious or dead, but could be in a coma, paralysis, or sleeping.

[OOC: Des made a Critical Success on the Will roll to keep his concentration.]

[OOC: What do you do?]

The monk made an astounding jump towards one of Olven's foes, attempting to bury his fist in the elemental's midsection.

Attack: Flying Leap targeting WE1.
14:58, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 16,16,8 using 3d6,3d6,3d6. Flying Leap 19-5 = 14; Jumping 16; Karate 18-2 = 16.
15:00, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 7,15 using 3d6,3d6. Luck Reroll.
15:02, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 34 using 5d6+15. Flying Leap damage 5d+15 cr.

”Come on, then!” he calls to the water elementals.  ”D’aden, see what you can do for Grettanah!”  He swings his axe again at the elemental he connected with last time, once, then again.

OOC:  Two more attacks.

D'aden nods, lifts a leg and pushes the flat of his foot against the water elemental to get past it, and then stumbles on towards Grettanah.

OOC: attempted a push kick to get maneuvering room, failed to connect by 2, and if it had connected would only have moved someone with ST of ten or less
13:53, Today: D'aden Tor VIII rolled 13,4 using 3d6,d6-1. Push Kick (11), damage.

The heroes kept fighting. Des flew through the air and delivered what would have been a devastating kick with little impact.

Another two swings of Olven's axe brought a second elemental to the ground.

And D'aden clumsily stumbled towards Grettanah.

Des parried the elemental's swung arm.

D'aden dodged the arm of the other elemental.

WE1 On Des
WE2 On D'aden
WE3: Was on Olven. Face up.
WE4: Was on Des. Prone; likely stunned, but could be heart attack, agony, choking, daze, or ecstasy.

Grettanah is likely unconscious or dead, but could be in a coma, paralysis, or sleeping.

[What do you do?]

Des struck three times at the elemental before him.

Attack: Triple Rapid Strike (-6)
10:19, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 10,8,9 using 3d6,3d6,3d6. Karate 18-6(3xRS) = 12.
10:21, Today: Desidras Rak-Mahl rolled 10,6,5 using 1d6+4,1d6+4,1d6+4. Punch damage 1d+4 cr.

His axe once again collides with one of the water elementals, and at the satisfying slap of steel on water, Olven Wolf once more lashes out with two attacks.  "I don't know if these are dead, but keep hitting them!" he calls out.

OOC:  Two more attacks.

Even as he moves to Grettanah, D'aden begins to ready his staff. Apparently he has decided that slicing the things with steel didn't work, so he'll try hitting them with wood. But he'll try that after he does what he can to aid the damaged acolyte.

Des hailed a barrage of punches over one of the water elementals, each punch hit home.

Olven drew the attention of the remaining elemental away from D'aden as his axe sliced water both times.

D'aden checked Grettanah.

One elemtal swiped at Des, but missed. The other swiped at Olven, but had his arm blocked.

WE1 On Des
WE2 On Olven
WE3: Was on Olven. Face up.
WE4: Was on Des. Prone; likely stunned, but could be heart attack, agony, choking, daze, or ecstasy.

Grettanah is likely unconscious or dead, but could be in a coma, paralysis, or sleeping.

"Come on, then!" Olven says, swinging twice more with his axe, his blade slicing through air and water.

OOC:  Attack twice vs. the closest water elemental.
