Kisaiya gasped in surprise as the ground gave way.  Fortunately, she had her hand free, and the rising disc saved her.  "Goddess Bless You," she said to Xander, scrambling back and drawing her crossbow.

"Summoned creatures to eat the city!"

Bucko fires off a shot to see about scaring the creatures...

09:46, Today: Bucko Rackingclaw rolled 13 using 1d12+5.  damage.

Brokk's attack connects hitting its mark.

Bucko's attack misses!

The rust monsters scramble up and stares at the group about 20' away from them! Oddly they looks not right. Almost mechanical. Or perhaps mechanical. Strange.

Isaac's shot misses!

Kis steps back and readies her crossbow.

Xander goes back about 10' keeping his distance as two balls of energy slam into the rust monster hit by Brokk!

00:22, Today: Brokk Grunk rolled 20 using 1d20+8.  Composite Shortbow (+2 STR).

Looking at the creatures, Isaac tries to see if they are actually causing the feared metal decay or if they are truly constructs with no special ability. After that, he fires another arrow at one of them, still moving away. "I certainly don't want to have my armor destroyed by their tendrils, but if they aren't truly rust monsters, then I would prefer to engage in melee!"

Kisaiya stepped back further, closer to her fellows, placing her free hand on her holy symbol.  "Dearest Goddess above, your love and spirit be with us, your wisdom fill us, your strength lift us up.  Bless my friends, my comrades, and bring their weight upon the creatures of evil and death before us."

The rogue, gunslinger and paladins attack all hit one of the rust monsters but it keeps standing!

And the last goes after Isaac but his armor doesn't make it as it is barely able to stay on him!

Cursing as his question was answered in the worst possible way, Isaac forgoes his bow and pulls out his sword. Taking a mighty swing at the creature, he tries to avoid the tendrils from destroying the remnants of his armor. "That's going to cost a lot to replace!" He focuses a bit as he attacks, wanting to know if these creatures are a product of evil

Kisaiya backs up thirty feet, then raises her hands, calling on her goddess.  A shimmering Glaive appears in front of her, and she directs it to the nearest monster.  It swings, striking at the beast, as if she had arms that were dozens of meters long, holding it.  The weapon was her Goddess' choice, and it was glowed as it struck out.


Kisaiya Loranain rolled 21 using 1d20+7 I only added +6, it should have been +7) Spiritual Weapon Attack.

Shrugging as his armor becomes rusted metal around his feet, Isaac steps up and swings again at the new attacker, feeling a lot lighter than he usually is. "I wonder if I can make armour out of YOU, fell beast!" he says. His strike misses, mostly due to his trying to keep his sword from contacting the metal-damaging tendrils and joining his armour on the ground.
