Gasping at the scale of the sight before them, Aria stared at the mindflayers, and said, "They each have auras form magic items; as for their own power...that'll take me a bit to concentrate on each...as for dimension dooring, at the rate the pyramid is moving I think they'll reach us in about ten seconds!"  She marked Kass's warning about the type of magic they used, and hoped her holy symbol's magic would protect her. From what she'd heard and could see, killing them as fast as possible was fine with her!<br/><br/>The nearer two centaur-constructs began to vigilantly vocalize metallic trills, having seemingly noticed the teleportive arrival of the two adventurers. Nonetheless, the mindfayers were scarcely turning as Aria drew her bow and began a volley. Force arrows struck the backs of the necks and rubbery scalps of the mindflayers, causing one to reel and two to fall down (or rather, up) to the inverted 'deck' of the pyramid's square underside.<br/><br/>The rag-clad desert goblin howled and 'fell', released from the first slain mindflayer's telekinesis, onto the sheer black surface a few paces in from the edge and the fallen would-be devourer of its brain. The goblin twisted its ankle as it landed and promptly, perhaps pathetically, passed out from the sudden pain.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Aria init 31<br/>Kass init 11<br/>npc init 9<br/>(Drawing longsword + using Inspire Heroics will be Kass's first turn, if she does so, and she can do both as move + standard. The lack of a surprise round is not b/c of anything we did or didn't do but b/c they can see us on arrival just as we can see them).<br/>The pyramid's movement will be at the end of each round (60' west, towards Kass and Aria, whom I placed at the same altitude as the mindflayers. So from their present positions they won't get 'smacked by it', but if they stayed in place for 2 rounds would find themselves hovering right on its surface. If you're standing or gripping on it you move with it; if you're flying/falling you don't.)<br/><br/>Aria<br/>draw bow; haste and sniper's shot<br/>fa, center mindflayer (the one which appears to be telekinetically drawing in the goblin)<br/>bow mods 35/35/30/25/20<br/>attacks<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2947004/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2947004/)<br/>base dmg 1d8+3, if applicable (hit, etc.)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2947009/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2947009/)<br/>sa damage, if applicable<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2947010/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2947010/)<br/><br/>1st atk 47 dmg 7+73<br/>2nd atk 47 dmg 11+82 slain<br/>left mindflayer<br/>3rd atk 34 dmg 7+77<br/>4th atk 29 dmg 6+62 slain<br/>right mindflayer<br/>5th atk 24 dmg 6+73 staggered<br/><br/><br/><br/>C = construct, with two more off the bottom edge of the map, completing a square of four<br/>M = mindflayer (' = dropped)<br/>G = goblin<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
