Dellas Nump:
In a blinding light an divine eagle swoops out of the sky as he finishes his incantation and streaks towards the shadow on Bruenor.
OOC:Summon Monster II: Celestial Eagle.
HP: 5, Init +2, Fly 80' Avg, Move 10', AC 14 (1 Size, 2 dex, 1 Natural), 13 Touch, Flat 12, Attack: +3 Melee d4, Full attack: 2 talons +3 melee d4, bite -2 melee d4, saves: +3 fort, +4 ref, +2 will. DR 5 to Acid, Cold, Electricity, SR 6, Smite Evil Once Day +1 Damage, Magical Beast.
12:04, Today: Dellas Nump rolled 14,4 using d20+3,d4. Eagle Attack.
Dellas begins a chant anew as he focus's on the bears fighting his friends. With a twinkle in his eyes the chant and strange arcane symbols that he begins to trace through the air begin to take shape, first a blob of energy that grows in size until it combusts like a miniature sun and then it streaks towards the smaller bear landing upon him.
OOC: Flaming Sphere, DC 16 Ref to negate:
10:17, Today: Dellas Nump rolled 8 using 2d6 with rolls of 5,3. Flaming Sphere.
Dellas' gleaming holy eagle flashes into existence and stoops down upon the shadow near Bruenor and Sir Aberlayne. Its claws just miss the foul creature, but certainly the shadow has one more thing to think about!
Then the
flaming sphere plops onto the smaller bear. It writhes lithely, avoiding a direct blow, but its fur smolders with heat!
Lantamori:
Avoiding her compatriots in the line of fire, Lantamori fired once more into the larger bear.
OOC: Lantamori rolled 22 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 17. Composite Longbow Attack, +2 effect -4 into combat, larger bear.
Lantamori rolled 8 using 1d8+2 with rolls of 6. Composite Longbow Damage +1 effect, larger bear.
Lantamori's arrow flies with pinpoint accuracy, making the larger bear bellow and bleed, its movements becoming more frantic as its precious strength is spilling onto the stones.
Haazheel Thorn:
Haazheel keeps trying to have the flaming sphere engulf the shadow. In the meantime, it radiates heat.
This time the shadow writhes, but cannot evade the worst of the flames. Between the flames, flaming sword, and holy smite, the shadow evaporates into shreds of twilight!
Narthian Goldleaf:
Narthian has overstayed his welcome, and tries to get away.
Preference is for the Withdraw action if it can be safely done, retreating towards Farian. If not, a 5' step and Full Defense action will have to do.
Thunder continues to attack the great bear, but mostly tugging ineffectively at it's thick fur.
20:46, Today: Narthian Goldleaf rolled 13,7,19 using 1d20+6,1d6+2,1d20+2 ((7,5,17)).
Narthian withdraws carefully, as the field is becoming crowded with spells, dwarves, and paladins. Thunder keeps on menacing the bear, but cannot get through its hide.
Averdante fires at the shadow near the top of the canyon wall, his arrow shining as it strikes the glittering darkness!
Bruenor Sedricson:
Bruenor shrugs off the chill, but it seems to seep through his red-hued armor. He takes some comfort from Aberlayne's arrival, and presses the attack on the shadow. "Well-timed Aberlayne!"
He edges Demon to the side, trying to flank the shadow with Sir Aberlayne; then turns with his flaming sword gripped in both hands slashes it down at the dark shape.
22:02, Today: Bruenor Sedricson rolled 16 using 1d20+9+2+1-3. longsword attack vs shadow.
22:03, Today: Bruenor Sedricson rolled 12 using 1d8+4+6. dmg vs shadow.
22:03, Today: Bruenor Sedricson rolled 3 using 1d6. flaming dmg vs shadow.
With the nearer shadow dispatched and the other one he had wounded fleeing, Bruenor can nudge Demon after the fleeing one Averdante had just wounded. As he runs it down, his sword carves into it, finishing the umbral foe!
The cold, curiously, does not diminish with the destruction of all the shadows, and those wearing any kind of metallic armor feel a deeper chill grip them.
OOC: Anyone wearing metallic armor of any kind take 6 cold damage.
The bears now have several foes to choose from, with Thunder, Volsh, and two boar-riding dwarves. The larger bear seems to ignore the seemingly greater threat of the mad-eyed barbarian to try to rip Thunder apart! His claws catch twice, badly wounding Thunder, though the wily wolf is able to duck his head to avoid a death-grip on his throat.
The smaller bear pulls back slightly from the battle and growls roughly. One of the battle boars suddenly squeals and turns against his fellow, savaging the other boar with his tusks!
Farian, seeing that all the shadows are dispatched and her friends are wounded, prepares to dart in and heal someone as soon as she can get them free from the general melee...
Volsh howls as loud as Thunder, "
You will not kill the wolf-brother!" he shouts, and rams his spear Widowmaker into the larger bear's side with lethal intent. The spear-head disappears deep into the bear, and it collapses nearly on top of Thunder, scrabbling at the rock in its death throes.
Sir Aberlayne wheels Valiant around to see that there is only one foe left standing, and one maddened battle boar attacking another. She charges the smaller bear and slices a small wound into its hide, Valiant delivering a kick as well!
The rider of the wounded boar flees back down the canyon, the crazed battle boar in pursuit, the rider of the crazed boar shouting protests and curses in Dwarven and Common as he tries to get his mount under control.
OOC: There is one foe left, the smaller bear, and apparently one of the battle boars has gone a little crazy.
