In reply to Jednesa (msg # 934):

attempting to dart out of the way, Jednesa's snap turn into a flying leap confuses the otherwise tactical leader of the gnolls, an she is crushed beneath the ogress' bulk, and utters a soft squeal before tapping the ground three times with her empty weapon hand.

Re: The Alchemist's Lair

Both sisters need to ready their whips before another slash, but raise their shields against whatever attack is coming.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 941):

as Jednesa gets to her knees, swinging the armored gnoll about like a rag doll,
the gnoll that recently tried to shank Masugatan  swallows hard and takes a step back.
The armored gnolls harrassing Jednesa seem to have some ki d of plan as they form up behind her and aim...

Aim at where?

Also, did the sunbolt to the face of the one attacking the sister have any effect?

Also, what is happening with Christine and those gnolls, with the rain of fire and Crispin?

Emma recasts sunbolt...[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under to cast.]

Unable to do anything else to help as they continue readying their whips, the elder sister calls out "Behind you again, Jednesa!"

the sunstruck gnoll did not go down, but also cannot see.
Crispin has been causing a retreat,as the gnolls have backed away from both the elemental and the various rains of fire, although many are singed , and Crispin killed one.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 947):

the four armored gnolls on Jednesa  chop at her legs, all connect, but only the two on her right leg get through her armor, for 2 and 5 points cutting after DR (3 and 7 points)

the blinded one slashes wildly, the one on Masugatan  swings, their blade just creasing his armor.
One swings at Valerie, but shr nearly trips while dodging, and takes a grevious wound!

Val has lost 6 hp!

In reply to Spotted Howler (msg # 948):

Christine will cease maintaining the rain as the gnolls back away from it and create a fireball, ready to attack with it as she observes the combination of fiery rain, elemental and dragonkin at work.

"Stay near the dragonkin, Crispin. Work with them."

She observes the battlefield for any surprises.

The Alchemist's Lair

Jednesa finishes standing and drags the ragdolling gnoll leader up with her, she spins, and brandishes the gnoll leader, one hand griping the leader's head, the other her shoulder and upper torso, and bellows "SURRENDER!"

The clear, and heavy handed, implication is that Jednesa is prepared to tear their leader's head head off if they don't back down.


OOC:  19:44, Today: Jednesa rolled 12 using 3d6.  Intimidation 8, with a possible +2 for Hideous and a +3 for Monstrous. – [roll=1654645481.68451.257081]

Also, almost forgot:
19:47, Today: Jednesa rolled 11 using 3d6.  Berserk CR 16. – [roll=1654645620.85016.257081]

And no, Jednesa has no idea about the psychology of hyena-men... she just knows armies and their leaders and soldiers.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 954):

Masugatan cleaves through the arm of the gnoll on him!

Valerie retreats, and working through the pain, pauses to throw her axe, inflicting a grevious wound on her attacker.

The gnoll howls with pain as the  whip strike them in the groin

the armored gnoll is oth injured and blinded by the sunbolt.

The remaining gnolls near Jednesa  throw up their hands, but those fleeing Crispin and engaged withthe other group of dragonmen onl hear the call to surrender, but do not se the threat.

Christine continues to maintain the smoke to allow Jednessa to properly put to flight or otherwise neutralize that group as she flings her fireball at whoever seems to be the leader here.

you are still on the roadwirh smoke obscurring fire raining to your left and ahead, where crispin is giving chase.
behind you the dragonmen are turning the tide against the bouda from that direction, and to your right, up a hill and 20 yards out of sight,Jednesa has the leader by the neck and the elites have lowered their weapons.

no one near you is in charge of anything except for one of the dragonmen
