[[Sheesh. Mea maxima culpa- these damned trips seem to be taking more and more out of me recently. Back to it, though I don't expect this one to last much longer before it reaches the point where no fun can be wrung from continuing combat!]]<br/><br/>Despite the fact that several people are entirely out of it and relatively few cultists remain capable of giving any account of themselves, the elven archers' spirits don't flag even when their kitsune mistress stops her haunting singing at last. "Ahh. Good to get that out of my system. Shouldn't be much longer, but shall we make sure things don't finish before their time?" She casts a rather hasty spell, with a large hooked chain appearing between herself and Gorun- just in time, since both the bull and Turilia far in the corner can feel their respective distractions finally fading away to leave them once more able to contribute to the group. One end of the chain sways as though it was the head of a cobra, eyelessly staring the monk down and waiting for him to make a move. It even spares a 'glance' for Eiyre, further away but still a threat even as she weighs herself down with the musclebound human; by the sound of her stomach, shrinking didn't take off nearly enough of its strength to keep it from eliminating one cultist before he can wake up. The elves, though, continue their fight. They look at each other before shifting their aim to Albali- after all, if she just kept healing Gorun, they were never going to get anywhere- and let a pair of arrows fly. Only one hits, but it's a bad one; the arrow goes into her midsection and deep, making the witch briefly waver on the edge of consciousness at the blood loss. Their comrade isn't so free to pursue the shooting, much to Albali's benefit; instead, hurriedly backing away from Ambrosia, he makes a complicated hand gesture and points at the fairy... just that abruptly, a sudden enervating chill in her chest tries to freeze her in place. It passes in a few seconds, though.<br/><br/><br/>[[<span style="font-style: italic">Actions!</span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Albali heals successfully.<br/>Eiyre finishes swallowing.<br/>Kitsune stops singing, casts chain of perdition<br/>Elf A (staggered) steps away and uses Interstellar Void; Ambrosia saves, but takes 3 damage anyway.<br/>Elves B and C try to prevent Albali from continuing the heal train; only one hits, but nearly maxes the damage roll for 10 to the witch. <br/>Gorun successfully saves <a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/155151">Will save</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+6</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">21</span> and can act.<br/>Turilia has completed her nausea and can act.</div></div></div><br/><br/>Init:<br/>Enemy Group A (Kitsune, Elves)<br/>Gorun, Ambrosia, Turilia, Xarithe+Sira<span style="font-style: italic">Currently Up</span><br/>Enemy Group B (Halfling, Humans)<br/>Kaheksa, Naga Captain<br/>Albali+Ain, Eiyre<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Status</span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Sira: 6/35 HP<br/>Gorun: 23/31 HP, Paralyzed<br/>Albali: 3/20 HP<br/>Ambrosia: 21/33 HP<br/>Naga captain: Nauseated (for 1 more round)<br/>Eiyre: Small<br/><br/>Halfling: Asleep<br/>Elf A: Staggered<br/>Elf B: Severely Damaged<br/>Elf C: Severely Damaged<br/>Human A: Severe Damage, Asleep, Swallowed<br/>Human B: Damaged, Asleep<br/>Human C: Digested</div></div></div><br/><br/>Map:<a class="postlink" href="http://i.imgur.com/tcWq9cb.png">http://i.imgur.com/tcWq9cb.png</a>]]
