Literally, actually, as a layer of protective rock seems to cover him. "Ye didn't really think I'd not be keeping the very best treasures for meself, eh? Necklace of the Gorgon-lover, savy." Brownbeard gloated, his skin as stone. However, his beard was ever so slightly singed.. and he tensed, freezing up.<br/>"I barely fe.. felt.. th.. tharrr.. Th.. therr.. grnnnnn!" He growled, immobilized for a moment, gritting his teeth.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stuff</div><div class="spoiler_body">Per raw, stunning fist has to damage the user, but you, technically, increased the damage your unarmed attack did. It's a pretty corner case, as his item absorbed the 8 physical damage, but 1 elemental got through. You could make a case for that blocking the ability, but then, the fire damage is not magical, it's an innate ability of your body, just like Ki, after some deliberating I decided to give him a save with circumstantial bonus for resisting the physical component of the damage, but, being a caster, he narrowly missed that still, so Stunning fist sucess!</div></div><br/>Naomi moves further along, before being halted as in the last second by a bunch of rocks and the pirate she chased, burrowed under them. .. the wire-trap! Her quarry must have tripped it, forgetting about the danger in his fear. The tunnel is not entirely blocked, but it'd definitly slow everyone down, trying to climb over the almost chest-high rock obstacle. Perhaps she can try and clear it for her (sexy, juicy) friends? (Str check!)<br/><br/>Peep, having none of this, hopped over the flames and to the caves entrance. Then, however briefly, he looked over to his owner, hesitantly. "Ga.. gals, the flames are getting proper close to The Great Ansur. Y.. you really ought to do something about this soon!" The sword complained, a bit worried and perhaps trying to ponder the melting-point of magical steel. Seak was still out of it.<br/><br/>Brownbeard gritted his teeth, not able to say anything under the influence of Marnia's ability.. but it was doubtful if this could hold him for much longer..<br/><br/>The Dagger-wielding pirate seemed hesitant, not wanting to enter the fog again or perhaps, not daring to risk hitting his captain, he sent daggers flying after Ylria, before drawing another pair, however, they went far and wide, missing the cheeky piratess and clattering off of the cavern walls.<br/><br/>The new pirate, a nasty bearded man with a large Axe descended the stairs and growled as he searched through the fog .. and whilest he could not find any target, he was one more obstacle Marnia would have to avoid along the way. (You can't dodge all three pirates aoo's even with monk-movement speed, at best you could retreat from Brownbeard and doge one.)<br/><br/><em>The flames continue to burn higher and higher. DC increases to 13 reflex or take 1d6 fire damage. You have to get out of there...</em><br/><br/><em>Initiative Order: Ylria -&gt; Marnia -&gt; Naomi -&gt; Seak(unconscious) -&gt; Captain Brownbeard(stunned until Marnia's action) -&gt; Pirate with throwing Daggers -&gt; Pirate with an Axe </em>
