Round One: Duergar
The three duergar in front of the door try to work past the pain in their eyes, pressed against the door as they are by the furious assault. They rush forward, attacking Mai'ngor from all sides and trying to take him down quickly and put out the wretched light.

One of the armed duergar manages to hit Mai'ngor with his pick (18 vs AC. Damage: 6). The other two duergar miss with their attacks.

Suddenly, as if from nowhere, a hail of javelins flies out from the mushroom groves, sailing toward Elfog, who has his weapon bared. Three javelins fail to strike, but there are two that manage to strike the dwarven warrior (20 and 20 vs AC. Damage: 14 and 13).

Three javelins also arc toward Mai'ngor. Two of them manage to hit the equine warrior, one of them quite solidly (Crit, 23 vs AC. Damage: 21, 9)

Looking about, you can see that there are eight duergar hiding in the grove surrounding the door. They must have been invisible, previously. They are all enlarged through their innate magical powers. There are four on either side of the door. All of them are within charging distance.
OOC:
It looks like you never updated Mai'ngor's AC to account for his Unarmored Defense! It should be 18, correct? If that's the case, ignore the 17s I rolled!

Your turn!

"Is this typical?" Meriele asks the others, eyes never leaving the bloodbath.
Aug 28, 2017 5:05 am
Streaked in blood both druergar and his own, Mai'ngor presses his offensive on the remaining druergars at the door.

Hunter shrugs noncommittally, reaching forward with her free hand towards the fungal grove on one side of the door. Palm down and fingers clenched, she raises her hand as though lifting something from the ground, and a column of dirt and stone erupt into the air.

Just as he starts to rush forward, Elfog witness the ground start to rise in front of him and comes to a quick stop. He looks back to see Hunter in the midst of a spell.

"I'ma let you finish" he says, waiting for the ground to settle before rushing to aid his comrade.

Meriele also waits wordlessly, having not yet drawn her bow.

Round Two: Hunter and Mai'ngor
Mai'ngor's follow-up with Sinag is deftly parried by the duergar, who has now drawn a long dagger, but he is unable to block the lightning-fast strike of the kris from taking him in the eye. He tumbles backwards into oblivion. He moves onto the next enemy and slashes at him with Sinag, leaving a scorching line across the front of his armor.

Hunter's spell explodes, sending earth and fungus into the sky and battering the duergar in the grove on the left side of the door. Once the explosive spell calms down, there is no further movement from that side.

Elfog's heart starts to pound, and a quick smile flashes across his face, as Hunter prods him forward.

"I'll see what I can do" he growls.

Adjusting his hold of Tolvihar, he rushes into the right grove, leaving a trail of dwarven obscenities in his wake. Hoping to take advantage of Lady Melpomene's work, he picks out two of the slower members of the group and attacks, swinging his axe with reckless abandon.

Meriele turns and walks back toward Hunter. She seems uninterested in joining this fight, but does not interfere. Facing the battle, she crosses her arms and observes.

Round Two: Elfog and Meriele
Elfog rushes forward toward the right-most grove and swings his magical axe at D11 twice. The duerger, though slowed, is able to narrowly avoid fatal blows, but is badly injured by the attacks he does receive.

Meriele simply watches the fight, choosing not to engage.

Round Two: Duergar
Trapped between the party and the door, the duergar fight like animals.

Squinting in the bright light, the two duergar facing Mai'ngor swing their weapons at him. He is able to easily deflect their attacks, hindered as they are by the light.

The three facing Elfog surround the dwarf, wanting to take their hated cousin down before they die. Only one of them manages to strike him (17 vs AC. Damage: 16)

Without looking at her, Hunter tells Meriele, "Make yourself useful, dear, and send an arrow into a duergar's knee." She adds dryly, "Finishing this quickly will be better for all of us."

The sorcerer traces a sigil in the air and arcane lines follows her fingertip. Once completed, the sigil hangs in the air like smoke until Hunter pinches the tail end and pulls back like a slingshot. She releases the sigil and it hurtles forward, transforming into a chaotic mass of energy as it speeds towards Duergar13.

Round Three: Elfog, Hunter, Sarith
As you deal with the issue of the duergar, the rest of your group stands against a smaller surge of duergar attacking from the back.

Hunter's spell shoots toward D13 and strikes his chest, turning into a sickly green as it does so. The spell does seem to have some small effect on him.

Elfog lashes out at D12 and D13. His attack is blocked by D12, but it takes a lot out of the duergar to block the mighty Tolvihar. D13 is still slightly off-balance form the spell and takes an axe to the chest, ending him immediately.

Sarith, unseen until now, pops up from behind D12 and stabs him in the back with his rapier (8 damage). He stabs once again, but is unable to pierce the armor of the dwarf.
