Nodding in agreement, Jasera chimes in, "We MUST do something- how many of you are skilled at archery or with the crossbow? We can try to engage the chicks at range, to minimize the chance of being picked and solidified, then engage them with blades when there's no other choice".

Tilma raises her crossbow, "I like to think that it's my best weapon. And I think that makes three of us." she points to herself, Berry and Jasera. "The big and handsome can be our shield. You should have seen him in action earlier."

Berry sniffs the air before whispering to the others, "Is that sulfur? Perhaps fire would be a useful tool here?"

Emboldened by Tilma's comments about the ''big and handsome'' which he assumed was certainly not the halfling, Norran visible squared his sagging shoulders and flexed a little bit showing off.

That I am Tilma babes! let me go in the front while you guys shoot down those baby stoners, okay!

Although norran can contribute in the ranged barrage with his throwing javelins, his ego was stoked and stroked that much that any logical ideas were thrown out the window at the moment. Puffing his chest out and carrying his glaive over his shoulder he strode off to where the remaining fledglings were pecking on the ground.

Please turn to stone permanently...please turn to stone permanently...please turn to stone permanently...

"Hmm looks like we found our useful tool," mutters Berry as Norran strides into the chamber. Aiming his crossbow, he readies to pick one off.

If the terrain is manageable, she will move to J4. This should give cover and a clear LOS to the entrance, without being RIGHT in the thick of things.

With the remaining fledglings all riled up with the shooting, Norran readies himself at the oncoming tide of angry, fluffy, tiny, stoner birds. And to make sure he survives the onslaught he decides to unleash the Barbarian Rage his people are known for.

It's Go Time Jon!

...

Umm...right now?

No...

What do you mean no?

I will not be used to fight insignificant creatures such as these!

C'mon man! now is not the time to get prissy!

I am an honorable warrior spirit! I will NOT be subjected to shameful combats with weak and pathetic enemies! Why, what would the Spooky Combat Association say when they found out that I let a whelp as you use me to--

I will ask dad to remove a hundred years commutation to your servitude if you help me with this and other times in this quest...okay?

...

Hello?

FINE!! GRAAAAHHHH!!!

The spirit known as Angry Jondalar leaped into the air and into the body of Norran adding to him the rage and strength of a lifetime of warfare and single combat. The elf barbarian's muscles become more toned and he grew to be a little taller in stature. Emanating a menacing aura, Norran brandished his glaive and pointed it at the oncoming baby cockatrices...Speaking with a cold booming voice that sounded like two people speaking at the same time he said,

COME! YOUR DEATH AWAITS! YOU...baby...stoners...

The fledglings rush forward, swarming the group. Norran swings at the first one as it enters the arc of his weapon, killing it outright, but the rest are upon them, pecking madly. Most swarm Norran but in his state of rage he is unstoppable. Only a single fledgling gets past his defenses, but its petrification is no match for Angry Jondalar's raw emotion coursing through the barbarian's veins.
OOC:
Because Norran takes 1/2 damage from piercing damage during rage, the Cockatrice fledgling's damage is reduced to zero! Therefore it cannot harm him or even petrify him while he is raging!
One of them slips past Norran's twirling glaive and pecks at Berry, but he nimbly sidesteps the little monster.
OOC:
Moved the action forward instead of waiting for Jasera's post. Demagor, feel free to take two turns in Round 2 to make up for missing your turn in Round 1
Round 2!
