"Well!" Ilmadia climbs onto the creature with an impressed look, and sets herself regally on its back. "A much better use than Malavon put it to!" She leans in towards the drow. "I have to say I am glad that the severing of my relationship with Belhifet hasn't ruined ours."

Re: Easthaven
"Ilmadia, you look different, dear. Did you do something wth your hair?"

The behir moves forward with a smooth series of sinuous, muscular ripples, legs a blur as it traverses the icy terrain with no difficulty. Still, for all the creature’s speed, the companions can hear the frost salamander gaining. What’s more, the frost giants seem to have noticed the chase. Boulders come crashing down, and the party knows from experience that the lobbed stones will deal serious damage even to a creature of the behir’s size. Not to mention those atop it.

Nym leans low over the behir’s neck and murmurs something in a reptilian language. The creature snarls a response in the same tongue, and Nym chuckles appreciatively. He looks back at the others. "Nearly there! But if you could do something about what’s behind us…" The frost salamander puts on a burst of speed and nearly rakes the behir’s tail with icy claws.
OOC:
Everybody gets a turn to do something. The frost salamander is within range of ranged or reach weapons. The giants are within bow/spell range.

Also, everybody make your choice of a str, dex, or con save, details purposefully vague. It has to do with keeping your seat :P

Re: Easthaven
Zenithral inhales, closes his eyes, and slowly breaths out. White mist comes out of his mouth, expanding and swirling about their mount, offering it divine protection (Casts Shield of Faith. +2 AC and our the behir can make an attack against the salamander with its reaction.)

Zenithral tries to pick out a giant that looks particularly skillful with his boulder-tossing. "Leave us alone, please and thank you!" He fires yet another purple-lit arrow, this time at the giant. (Giant takes 10 damage, but is not banished.)

"You too!" He tries to shoot at one of the salamander's eyes, but it scrapes along the creature's scales. He fires his next shot into the salamander's open maw, hoping to discourage it from biting anything. (17 damage)

Re: Easthaven
Alalla twists in her seat and slices fluidly from the salamander's chest to chin. It bleeds profusely. Is that a little amphibious fear she sees in its eyes? Excellent. She stabs downward with the butt of her glaive, striking it right between them. The salamander sways and falls, letting Al get in one more blow before it hits the snow.

"Handled."

Salamander takes 70 damage and falls prone. It is also afraid of Al until the end of her next turn.

Re: Easthaven
"Do I?" Ilmadia asks with curious surprise. She primps her hair and seems to check to see if it is its usual shade of silver-white. "Well, perhaps in a bit you could tell me about it in detail. I have been terribly lonely since my husband died and the brute, I mean dear paladin, over there is no improvement in conversation over Belhifet."

Ilmadia winks at Zenithral then watches his arrows fly. She hesitates, then whispers over her pointer finger. Her eyes brighten when a mote of fire begins to swirl above it. A flick of her wrist sends it flying into the giant's face in the wake of Zenithral's arrow.

Giant takes 24 fire damage.

Re: Easthaven
The behir writhes forward with all speed, snaking its way between cottages and storehouses between breaks of open ground, but boulders crash all around with terrible accuracy. And the frost salamander stays terrifyingly close, it’s frosty jaws snapping far too close for comfort. Zenithral’s arrow and Ilmadia’s fire spell cause a couple of giants to flinch and take cover, but the others continue their assault with steadfast determination.

Stomachs lurch as the behir whips over the top of a larger building - the Snowdrift Inn. Wooden planks creak in protest, but the thunder lizard’s footing is evenly and cleverly distributed over the many pairs of legs, so the structure holds. Until an incredible toss of a boulder slams into the behir’s head. It staggers, and the frost salamander pounces. Alalla’s glaive is ready, however, and the blows she strikes wound the elemental creature deeply and it stumbles. But between the weight of the two giant creatures and the rain of boulders, the inn collapses inward (Al takes 32 damage, Zen takes 68).

Sturdy wood becomes splinters in an instant. The behir’s legs become a torrent of limbs as it rights itself, but their is no easy way clear of the inn. It opens its maw and lets loose a crackling wave of lightning breath...

One entire wall of the inn explodes outward and the behir wriggles out. A moment later the salamander crawls free of the wreckage as well, but when it meets Alalla’s fearsome gaze and warning glaive it stops dead in its tracks.

Nym urges the behir to continue, but then another boulder drops down to crack against the base of the creature’s neck (Aaaand the 213 damage to the behir). The head immediately flops to the ground, and a shudder passes through each pair of legs as the thunder lizard collapses, its breathing ragged.

The tower is only a short distance away now, but on foot...

It is then that Alalla realizes Zenithral is missing.

Re: Easthaven
All traces of humor have vanished from Nym’s face when he glares at Alalla and Ilmadia. "Heal it." He steps forward, deadly serious. "Heal it, or we all die now."

The frost salamander shakes its head and begins to orient itself.

Ilmadia ignores Nym and turns back to the wreckage of the inn - and the giant ice salamander there. "No! Zenithral...!" Her own expression matches Nym’s as she turns to Alalla. "Go. Heal it and go. I will find my son. And murder the Nine Hells out of this frozen monster." A hungry flame appears in her open palm as she steps forward to meet the frost salamander.

Alalla pulls her eyes from the inn. She grits her teeth and nods, the turns to the behir. Muttering curses under her breath she lays her hand on it. "Help us get through this, Torm." A soft light shines, and Al quickly hops back into the creature. "I don't have much more than that."

Behir gains 10hp through Lay on Hands.

Re: Easthaven
Torm’s divine light passes over the behir, and a sudden snap realigns its neck. It rises.

Nym claps his hands. "It will be enough! And hopefully so will this." A quick gesture, and a familiar bow drops into his hand. He tosses it to down Ilmadia. "For the boy, if he lives."
OOC:
This is Kaylessa’s +2 Longbow.
And then the behir is off again, Nym and Alalla on its back. It reaches the tower and scrambled up its side, scrabbling to the far side from the giants and then racing upwards. Everywhere it touches the wall lightning crackles up through the crystal, but the repulsing magic bothers the behir not at all, thunder lizard that it is.

It seems that Nym has planned out nearly everything.

Re: Easthaven
Zenithral comes to in serious pain beneath the wreckage of the Snowdrift Inn. A heavy beam lies over his chest, constricting his breathing. Through a gap in the debris he sees the scene outside, with the behir making for the tower with all speed, and Ilmadia turning back to face the frost salamander. The elemental bears serious injuries, but so does Ilmadia.

Boulders...why was it always boulders?

Zenithral's vision finally comes back to him, but his whole body still hurt like Avernus. He was stuck and splintered. He was also pretty sure he had a few broken ribs. He breaths in and out to calm himself and push through the pain. (Second Wind. Zenithral regains 22 hit points.)

Alright...help me through this. (Guidance) Zenithral then tries to wriggle his way free.

Re: Easthaven
Zenithral’s muscles heave, and for a moment nothing happens. Then he feels divine strength flow through him, and the beam shifts slightly. It is not enough for him to wriggle free yet, but at least he can breathe more easily.

"This working?"

A small bird lands near his face. It cocks its head to one side, then speaks in a young woman’s voice. "Is this working? Hello? Oh wait... Hold on, let me just - Jermsy, get off me! I’m trying to figure this out. Listen! We’re-"

The bird blinks at him, then flaps its wings and flies out through the hole in the rubble. It passes by Ilmadia, who flings a bolt of fire at the frost salamander...
