Ramirez cleans the treasure, his hands and Yruls. The jewelry and such is then swept into a bag. Des reassures Yrul to not feel bad for the 'rat' as it almost is certainly not one, but a form of Rakshasa. Hmerrin tries the door and finds that it is unlocked and he slowly opens it.
Beyond the door is another room with several more cutting board tables, shelves and everything a small kitchen preparatory place might need, including butchering utensils and hanging hooks. Thankfully, all hooks are empty and the room is clean and put away. A door exits this room into a rosewood tiled hall. Sage and lavender smells fill the air and though no source can be seen, the hall is well lit. It extends 80' with 3 doors spaced at 20, 40 and 60' on the right hand side
Pleased to be away from the "icky" stuff, Yrul and her 'friends' scampered off down the corridor being vigilant for trouble; that was particularly true for traps. At the first door she paused and listened, before carefully examining it for traps and locks.

Nira pursed her lips in thought. It seemed that divination was decidedly impaired in this realm. Perhaps though, that could work in their favour. They would not be detected by scrying. Perhaps. It was perfectly possible that the Rakshasas operated under an entirely different set of rules.
She followed on, doing her best to keep noise to a minimum without necessarily holding anyone up.

If the group is going slowly and striving for stealth, so will she, but if speed is deemed more important, that's the pace she goes.

Yrul listens and checks the first door in the rose tiled hall and discovers nothing amiss. Nira, maintains her hover and thinks over how to perhaps use the inability to cast Divinations in the party's favor. Hmerrin and Des wait for the drow's confirmation to proceed. Rammirez asks about what the plan might be. Gaffer moves to the second door and presses his ear up against it. Danko pulls out a Protection from evil out and uses it on himself.
Gaffer and Yrul both canont detect anything beyond the door and a gentle touch to the doors, show they are not locked.

Nira grins at Des's remarks. With no divination spells available there's not much she can do to assist with the door or know what's on the other side.
She keeps her ears alert for the sound of anything on the other side, and looks around the edges of the door for any indication of a moving shadow on the other side.

Yrul opens her door, with Hmerrin right at her side and ready. Des jokes about the standard plan as he watches the hall and the third door past Gaffer. Nira smiles at the joke as Gaffer opens his door.
The rooms beyond are lit like the hall you stand in. Yrul sees a mosaic tiled floor and on opening the door further, a 15x15 room with shelves of crates lining the walls. A storeroom of some kind with no apparent exists.
Gaffer finds another 15x15 room stocked with more than a score of large casks. Here too, there appears to be no exit.
That leave the last door in the hall at the far end and so the group moves up.

If time weren't an issue, Nira would suggest poisoning all of the casks. It might take care of all the raks - and their valued guests - in one swoop and without the need to get into any danger.

The group jams up around the last door. Yrul directly in front and Hmerrin and Des to either side. Further back stands Gaffer, Nira Danko and Ramirez. Hmerrin downs a Heroism Potion Dako pulls out a Rod of Absorbtion and attempts to tuck the wand into a belt. As long as things don't get too rough, it should stay put.
Yrul pops the door open...
A 15x20 serving and preparation room. 2 humans, a male and female look up, horrified. Dressed in very little, holding silver serving trays with gold and crystal goblets. Curios of serving ware line the place, easily enough to engage 100 in a full 7 course service. 3 great casks are here as well, one of wine, of scotch and one of ale. On the far side of the room is a large archway with a door.

"Not. A. Sound." he demands in a hushed, but stern, tone. Then, still hushed but not as stern. "We're not here for you. We're here for them. Is the Maharaja in there? How many others?"

Nira is a little confused. Negotiate? She thought they were here to end the Maharaja's threat through other, more bloodied means.
She has little to add to what has already been said, but tries to drop a few names to hopefully convince the people that the group are here to help. "Do you know Antwan? What about Ombrix? We met them in the jungle and saved them. We can help you too, should you want it."

"Well, that was disappointing." Mumbled Yrûl. She gave pointed looks to her assorted friends. Who was it? Which one of them had tipped off the two servants to her presence? It certainly wasn't her fault, as she'd super-sneaky. With so many others charging in, there really wasn't any further need for stealth, but it just felt right to her. She advanced into the room focused on the way ahead - not least to determine if anyone was approaching.

The Palace Dan K DM Thursday April 25th, 2024 10:20:54 AM
Hmerrin moves swiftly across the room and sternly whispers for the pair to remain silent. Following up with a couple of very important questions Des, entering the room, speaks calmly and tries to assure the pair that the very dangerous group bursting in on them is not their enemy, but of the Maharaja itself. Ramirez mentions negotiating with the Maharaja. Nira adds a few names in the hopes that familiarity might buy some faith. Yrul scolds Dabtz as the weapon clearly was the culprit here. Gaffer and Danko remain in the hall and alert to treachery.
The two humans, to there credit, partially spin in a panic, but the trays and there contents remain upright and under control. Neither make a peep. The female arches her brows at the mention of the dwarf Ombrix and both scowl at the mention of Antwan. "The spy" he whispers under his breath. Between Des and Ramirez and a bit of what Nira adds, the pair remains quiet and seem to be in a state of of dealing with the events at face value. Neither seem inclined to make any noise over a whisper.
"You're the Tide aren't you." the woman whispers eyeing each of you one after another, save Yrul. "Hmerrrin the Strong, Desdichado the Bold, Ramirez the Quick, Nira the Enchanted, Danko the Mighty and Gaffer the Wise."
The man looks at her a bit skeptical and she simply returns his look with a gesture to the group and a look that conveys You're kidding right...Look at them
"Ok fine, you might be right this time." he says with a partial grin and he then answers the Tide
"The Maharaja is in court this day. A mighty guest is to be honored in a few hours. Currently the only ones in the hall is the Maharaja, Sahsa and his personal guard, a pair of Rakshasa."
Yrul figured that now was as good a time to strike as any. They'd be focused on other matters and once others had arrived there'd be a LOT more nasties to deal with. Still, it wasn't for her to decide. She looked at Dabz and then Snickit, willing them both to silence. The last thing anyone needed right now was either of them declaring some 'great plan'.
She crept around to the way ahead that she might be watchful for anything/anyone else approaching or listening.

"I didn't realize we had nicknames," he smiles at the two of them, "but yes, that is us! Only four will be in the room? Sounds like we've made some very good timing, then. Thank you."

Gaffer relaxes slightly when he hears that they will only have to face a smaller group, far better than the horde of Rakshasa he feared, but then a hint of suspicion creeps in.
Keeping his voice low he whispers to the others, "Hey, do we have anyway to check that they are human, or being honest? I really don't want to talk into a trap."

Nira shakes her head to Gaffer's question and whispers a reply. "Magically? No. I could try a dispel to remove any shapeshifting magic, but I don't think we'd learn much from it."
She then speaks at a normal volume. "If they were raks I imagine they'd have called an alarm by now anyway"
Nira tries to comfort the duo. "When we confront the raks things might get a little chaotic. It might be best if you hide in one of the rooms behind us. That will keep you safe, and should we fail, you can tell the raks that we overpowered and trapped you"

With some answers to the initial questions, the group has some more and by the way of keeping the pair of humans talking, Nira and Des should be able to ascertain how much truth is being told.
"The great entertainment hall is just beyond the door, there are no other rooms to pass through from this direction. Pools, fountains, trees, his imperial throne, dining tables...It's huge."
When asked about how she knows the Tide, she gets a peculiar look up on her face, "Um because you're super famous. I think the whole Wold has heard about you by now."
As to if anyone in the hall could hear spellcasting in this room, they shrug having given up long ago on what the Rakshasa, let alone the Maharaja can or cannot do or know.
Turning as Nira addresses them, they both nod in agreement.
Nira and Des both feel these two are being completely truthful.
Yrul has her ear to the door, picking up a few bird calls and the sound of water, the latter is likely do to the fountains.

There are a lot of buffs that Nira could cast right now, but each spell she casts now is one less she can cast in a fight. It's a very fine balancing act. She opts to cast just one spell: Magic Circle vs Evil.
Nira gives her arms a good shake to loosen up. "Birds?" she stops for a moment and looks to the humans. "Are they dangerous in any way? Do they talk? Cast spells? Have razor sharp teeth? Anything that we might need to watch out for?" She's not going to fall for this trap again.

The Tide begins to prepare to battle what is most likely the most powerful creature they have ever faced. Ramirez casts Good Hope[i]. Des casts [i]Protection from Energy Acid Danko starts with his wand and casts Protection from Evil on everyone, but Nira as she cast it herself. The spell from the wand will last 10 rounds, Ramirez 4/10, Yrul 5/10, Des 6/10, Hmerrin 7/10, Danko 8/10, Gaffer 9/10. Danko than recasts [i]Mage Armor[i].
Yrul having informed the group of the birds she heard, prompts a final couple of questions from Nira. "Everything is dangerous", comes the response and "Spells? Yea, probably, most of everything here can. Never heard them 'talk' beyond a mimicry or sqwawk though." Upon providing this last bit of information, the pair slip out and dwon the hall to another room.

It was time to get sneaky - not that she hadn't before, but this time it was time to be seriously sneaky. She mentally informed all her friends of the same and quickly moved in. Her idea was not to engage with all and sundry but get into position so that she could find a weak point. Snickit and Dabz didn't really like this plan much as they were quite convinced that they were powerful enough to slay any manner of beastie. Fortunately Yrul was bigger than them.

The Palace - Rnd 1 Dan K DM Tuesday April 30th, 2024 2:26:18 PM
Des enacts his Divine Bond and his great axe begins to glow. Hmerrin gives Yrul a nod and as the drow opens the door, he strides in looking for targets. Ramirez casts Greater Invisibility and follws Hmerrin in. Yrul slips in and makes for the cover of a tree. Nira and Danko hang back to see what the opening round will look like. Gaffer moves in and cuts left down the wall to stay a bit spreadout.
The main Entertainment room is lavishly furnished and massive. You have very recently been to the palace of Maab herself and this room does not disappoint for the finer things There is a pool at the north end for swimming with a second level infinite pool and spilling into the back of that from the wall is a waterfall Off center to the north is an indoor oasis of ferns, palm trees and orchids. They surround a sandy beach with a natural bubbling spring at the center. Bird calls and the fragrance of flowers is noticeable. High overhead, is a ceiling of apparent glass from which the ‘natural’ sunlight illuminates the room. To the south is a great ballroom floor for dancing, ringed by chaise lounges and small tables designed for all sizes of creatures and further south are several great feasting tables. Scattered throughout the room are semi private tables nestled under trees with blinking fireflies that don’t seem to move. Lastly at the very south end is a great throne gilded in all manner of precious stones and metals upon a 15’ dias. The throne could hold a creature of Huge proportions and is flanked by a pair of bronze statues, gilded in gold and silver and made to resemble Jackal headed Rakshasa. The riches of vast wealth beyond counting, luxury undreamt of, is everywhere.
Lounging on the throne is a magnificently beautiful white tiger. 3 Great red macaws squawk from a nearby tree at your entrance. Turning to regard you is a jackal headed Rakshasa appearing identical to the great statues.. To his left and right are Tanaka Rakshasa, huge hulking and powerful creatures of the same line as Golden Eyes herself.
The Jackal Rakshasa speaks, his voice seeming to come from everywhere at once around you, a calm and smooth voice without emotion or concern.
“I applaud your tenacity and resourcefulness. If i were to accept you as my slaves, what is it you would ask in return?”
Well that wasn't very helpful, thought Yrul. Clearly Snickit and Dabz had led her to the wrong tree! She needed to be the other side of the clearing, towards the throne. Still, there was a LOT to contend with here and evaluating what that was seemed to be a sensible course of action. So, the longer she remained unnoticed, the better. Whilst the tree that Snickit and Dabz had selected was according her ample cover, she favoured the one further south. She'd need to head that way eventually. So it was that way she slinked.
~~~ Stealth: 47 ~~~
There was no way it was she that would be answering that nasty rakshasa. Let someone else hold its attention. Snickit and Dabz agreed and for that she was grateful.

Charging THAT group by himself seems suicidal, so he sticks with striding forward like he owns the place. Pausing for a couple seconds, he activates his tattoo.
"Come on now," he responds lightly. "How tenacious would we be if we just up and surrendered right here? We haven't even killed you yet."

Yrul heads south to another group of trees. A beautiful cushioned bench and mathril lattice table sits beneath it affording a view of the dance floor and waterfalls to the north. A crystal decantaur and a silver goblet are on the table. Des voices his displeasure and advances. Hmerrin quips back and moves forward, a Tattoo sprining to life about him. The Maharaja's ears slightly faltten in response to his retort. Ramirez casts Haste before Hmerrin and Des move up, but even still, Nira and Danko are not within 30' of Hmerrin. Need a choice on who is not included...Hmerrin OR Danko and Nira Nira casts Greater Invisibility and floats into the room, suggestiong the group concentrate on a single opponent. Danko, with his Rod of Absorbtion in hand, moves through the doorway and slightly down the wall to the right/south. Gaffer begins casting a summoning spell.
The Jackal Rakshasa, his voice seeming to come from everywhere at once around you, still a calm and smooth voice without emotion or concern.
“Kill me? How negative. But be assured I do not plan on killing you as there are far more pleasant interests I have in mind” Rubbery Black Tentacles erupt from the ground around most of the party. Nira, Danko, Ramireaz and Gaffer, CMB 31 Nira is Grappled Dmg 9 CMB 33

Gaffer's spell falters as the first set of bolts strikes him. "What a rude way to treat guests" he grumbles in a whisper while steadying himself against the many impacts.
As Nira calls for focus on a singular target, Gaffer smiles to himself and makes use of their enemies current, and calling a column of flames to surround them.

Des moves forward, as does Hmerrin. Danko Dispels the Black tentacles and they fade to nothing. Ramirez moves up, readying his bow. Nira does invisible like things. Gaffer casts Flame Strike at the Maharaja, catching him, Sasha and TR1. Yrul moves forward through the trees, silent as a ghost.
As the column of flame descends, the Maharaja chuckles, "Foolish mortal, your magic..." He is interrupted with a yelp of pain as the fire and holy power sear him. Smoking, his eyes widen and he bears his teeth, "How did you accomplish that worm! You will answer me before I am through with you!" he bellows, causing the Tanaka near him to look on with uncertainty at him. The Tanaka shields himself from some of the blast and Sasha bobs and weaves completely untouched.

Hmerrin experiences a lot of spell effects. He avoids the worst of the lightning bolts but makes a mental note that some kind of evasion magic would be helpful.
And he's not happy with the way this is playing out.
Sasha seems in no rush to come over and join combat. He could charge...Hmerrin is not all that eager to take on that group alone. Gonna go with discretion this time.

With the others now out in front, Gaffer moves to the center of the room and starts judging the distance for his spells and their opponent's.
He is genuinely surprised at the Majara's surprise, and doesn't mind letting them know it ."To think I was worried you had plans against our plans. I'm almost disappointed."
But then has to focus again, the fire doesn't stop after his last spell, but grows and spreads across the end of the hall.

Yrul moved again (AE,56). Again, she was as stealthy as a shadow as she slid across to sidle close to the trees, keeping a careful watch on her surroundings. The truth was, she felt outclassed. These were terrible opponents, all big and powerful and her greatest talents were denied to her. At least it wasn't painfully bright here. Then Ramirez's words resonated in her core and she took heart. She could do this! She just had to pick the right moment.

Ramirez begins a mighty ballad of legends and sends 4 arrows at the nearer Mawcaw in the tree, hitting 3 times. Hmerrin gets a little singed, but nothing bad. He decides to opt for his bow as well, but his shot is off of the mark. Danko moves up and changes into a mighty bronze dargon. Des keeps moving forward.

Dispel Magic Caster Check 32 Yrul crosses the last bit of open space and and hugs one of the great trees. Yrul can also see that the burns wounds on the Maharaja are healing, quickly.
With arrows flying, the Mawcaws each enact a spell Mirror Image One of the Tanaka casts a spell Haste upon those around the throne area. The other holds again, watching the battle and specifically the spell casters of the Tide. With a yawn, Sasha sists back on her haunches and waits. Now that Des and Hmerrin are closer, they can see 2 tourquoise teardrop shaped gems entangled within Sasha's furry legs and a single ruby one on her head. The Tanaka as well have several teardrop gems seemingly partially embedded in their arms and legs. The Maharaja pooints a furred backwards facing hand at Hmerrin and grwols a gutteral sound.

This seems like a great reason to keep shooting birds.

Gaffer lets outs a low growl as he spell is forcibly shattered in his hands. His allies are closing in on the dias and he won't be able to cast as freely soon. He decides to wagers on the guard being a less able spellcaster than himself, and tries again. With Des between sets of targets, the next attempted flames are focused solely on the four around the throne.

Hmerrin avoids the being completely encased, but the ice clings to him hampering his movement. Firing at B2, 2 images are struck and the bird itself. Des moves up, eyeing Sasha and issues a challenge to the cat. Ramirez continues his song, slides around the tree and sends another arrow at the wounded bird. Another image vanishes. Nira activates her Brahmah Tattoo and places a Silence about the throne. Nira's best guess, is the Tanaka is waiting on Gaffer. Yrul comes in along side the great bronze statue of the Maharaja. It does not, happily, spring to life. Climbing over it is not overly possible, but the drow would be able to slip past it Treat the statue as difficult terrain for moving through its occupied squares Danko roars in his dragon form and ascends to the tops of the trees. you can still cast spells. Items requiring activation cannot be used. The Necklace will still work. No spells with material components without Eschew Material Gaffer tries Firestorm again, believing the Tanaka got lucky the first time.
Gaffer's Firestorm rages across the throne area, sheets of white hot flame akin to the greatest dragons of the Wold. 1 of the Tanaka catches fire as a result. Sasha appears completely unharmed, while the Maharaja and the other Tanka were able to avoid the worst of the fire.
One of the Mawcaw birds is visibly shaken from the Transformation of Danko to Dragon, as is a Tanaka and the Maharaja itself! The other bird caws angrily and Sasha eyes Des. Yrul Highlight to display spoiler: {Sasha flicks an ear in your direction and you hear the big cat chuckle}
The Tanaka that is on fire, moves out of the Silence and Heals itself. The other Tanaka moves with Sasha to engage Des. Des Tanaka Hit AC 31 Dmg 35 Sasha Hit AC 30/41/44 Dmg 29/29/29 Bleed Dmg 3

Hmerrin powers throught the black miasma. Something else brushes his mind, and the fighter shakes his head violently to clear it. And he's still growing ice cubes.
Worse, Dez is engaged, Hmerrin is on the wrong side of this table to help, the ice is hampering him a lot, and this blasted bird is still active.

Nira is a little pleased that the Tanaka was looking at Gaffer. It's apparent these foes are well aware of the Tide, and they know that she's quite a capable caster. If they're looking at Gaffer then it gives her some reassurance that perhaps they are unable to see through her invisibility.
She flies a little closer to the action and tries to help Hmerrin with his cold problem. This is followed up by a Spectral Hand in anticipation she's going to need to heal some people soon.

Gaffer passes a few seconds without injury. Seeing that the two guards are distracted and unlikely to stop his casting, Gaffer rushes forward to get in range and sends a sickly green beam of light to strike past Sasha and into the injured Rakshasa behind.

Des heals some of his wounds, stopping the bleeding, and strikes back, landing multiple deep wounds into Sasha. Hmerrin makes his way towards Des, the ice hampering his move and slowing him down. Diagonal through the table space, 40' ends at AD 49 The bard dodges the Lighting blasts completely, a song in his throat and arrows in the air. 2 additional images are destroyed. Nira floats forward and under the nearby trees. She casts Spectral Hand to allow healing from a far and then attempts to, but fails to bring an end to the icy spell hindering Hmerrin. Danko closes rapidly with a mighty roar and casts [Finger of Death[/i] at the Maharaja. Gaffer moves up and casts [Finger of Death[/i] at the Tanaka supporting Sasha. Yrul crosses past the Statue and onto the dais. the 3 squares of the statue count as 30' of movement. The steps of the Dais is another 10' Yrul has moved 50' from AD 61 to X 61

Desdichado swiftly heals himself again from the Sasha's attack. Thankfully, Domi's smiting power continues to give him a bit of added protection. He's still loosing stamina, though. (OOC: smite evil provides +CHA bonus to AC, so 35 vs Sasha)

Yrul wanted to help Nira, but she couldn't pass by the first Tanaka to get to the second; so she did what she could to occupy the enemy's attention. She moved up swiftly and silently to stab the nearest creature. (Okay maybe not that silently: another Natural 1.)
She swung Dabz intent on harming the creature, but Dabz wasn't really paying that much attention. (AC: 36 - before any other inspirational bonuses.) (If that hits. 10 Damage + 1 electrical.) (Does it count as a Sneak Attack for future bleed damage? I'm guessing not as nothing is working currently.)

Hmerrin moves in on Sasha to provide support to Des. Des staggers under the onslaught, helaing himself to stay conscious he then.... Nira moves to end the conflict, catching all of her targets in a Mass Suffocation, dispelling the Haste and putting a Silence about them. Ramirez fires another volley at the Mawcaw in the tree. He destroys all of the remaining images. Yrul closes and attacks the now suffocating Tanaka. As she closes, the right foot snaps out and catches her hard in the shoulder.

Even as Nira's spell flies, the Maharaja gestures to counter, but cannot. Nor can any of the victims overcome the powerful magice. The Maharaja, Sasha and one of the Tanaka all begin to suffocate. The Tanaka who is on fire, puts himself out. The other Tanaka defensively casts Dispel Magic to no affect The Maharaja steps back from the Silence spell and he too, attempts to Dispel Magic and he fails as well.

Nira is surprised that the tanaka is still standing, let alone making so many attacks against Yrul. Those things are tougher than she first thought.

Nira recognises the Wall of Force spell, but without her ability to see invisible things she really has no idea where it could be. Until Yrul runs into something. "That must be it"
She casts a Disintegrate spell in front of Yrul and then gets a little closer to the Tanaka, with the intent to blind it.

Gaffer casts Flame Strike and targets Sasha at the far north end. The Storm Giant attacks and and scores another minor hit. Yrul tries to close on the Tanaka, but encounters the invisible Wall of Force Ramriez cuts to the west, hops and crosses the table, coming down on the far side. Hmerrin reaches into his Bag of Holding to find nothing within it. The bag has been pierced from the inside, destroying everything it contained, including the Carpet and the bag itself. Des readies for Hmerrin and the Carpet, but that is no longer an option. Danko turns 90 degrees to the north and sweeps out towards Sasha and casts Chain Lightning into the cat. Cannot target the Maharaja as no line of effect exists. Between the turn and your 120' move, i put you as far as possible NOP/27 Nira waits for Yrul to cleverly reveal the Wall of Force and then promPtly Disintegrates it. Flies over Ramirez and casts Blindness at the Tanaka.
Danko can most clearly see Sasha and as the bolt strike, the cat does not react at all, simply lying very still.
The Tanaka Heals itself and rises 5' into the air. The Mawcaw blasts through the fog and dives into Yrul, swooping past in a blue and red blur. Yrul Hit AC 40 Dmg 11 Climbing to 15' as it soars past. Fly By Attack no AoA

Yrul cursed herself for being an idiot. Sometimes she just got too distracted by the immdiacy of the problems facing her: that and arguing with Snickit and Dabz. Now she hoped that they would come to her aid. She invoked her Drow ability to summon darkness and placed that power upon Snicket.

Gaffer continues his movement towards the Majara, though Danko looks mighty in his current form, Gaffer is still worried that the Majara may be playing tricks.
He points his staff backwards as he runs, sending a flash of greeen at the Tanaka, hoping to arrest control over it's physical form.
The storm giant continues it's attacks but fails to land a single blow.

Yrul is held up for a moment, but then casts Darkness upon Snicket, disappearing into the Dim Light. Des, as surprised as anyone, starts heading north. Ramirez fires several arrows into the Tanaka. Danko flies north, but has to Squeeze through the trees in his Huge form. Still he is just able to get to the far side and what he finds is not what he is expecting. Nira flies down and casts Heal on Yrul. Despite the Dim Light, she is able to locate Yrul. The Bloodwitch then calls forth a Rod and quickly casts Dispel Magic at the Tanaka. Hmerrin tosses the now destroyed Bag asised and fires an arrow into the Tanaka. Through the darkness taht now surrounds him, a teltale Thock tells him he aimed true. Gaffer casts Baleful Polymorph from hsis staff as he moves north to support the others heading towards the Maharaja. The Storm Giant is unable to land a blow this round.
Nira's spell causes the Tanaka to drop back to the ground. Gaffers spell transforms it into a bunny.
The Tanaka reforms and steps back into the air almost as fast. With a gesture, it again Heals itself.
In the north end of the hall, Danko the dragon spies the burned and still form of Sahsa and just behind the tree lies the robes the Maharaja was wearing. A mound of snow and ice where the body should be, slowly melting in the warm room.
The Mawcaw banks around the tree and sflies past Ramirez, tearing at his shoulder as it passes. Ramirez Hit AC 34 Dmg 11

"Many thanks." Yrul said to Nira before making her way towards the Tanaka once more. Matters though were far from simple as he was no longer on the ground. Still, she could call forth a shadow trick to see if that would help. ~~~ Shadow Evocation. Will DC: 19. Disbelieve for 1/5 damage.

These raks are tougher than any we've faced before". She does what she can to try and stop the tanaka from casting any more spells.
Nira's still not sure what spell is causing the ice damage to Hmerrin, and the last time she tried to dispel it she was unsuccessful. It must be a very powerful spell and she can't afford to keep focusing on it while the battle continues nor keep healing him. She applies a temporary fix for the time being.

With Danko's confirmation on the Majara, Gaffer turns back towards the remaining Tanaka while calling out to the others.
"Should we destroy the body? I don't know if Raks can be brought back but we should make sure it's not an option."
Looking up to the bird which is still moving around, and wanting to conserve some spells for their escape, Gaffer starts conjuring a few more elementals to aid them.
The Storm Giant uses it's reach to swing on the Tanaka, but is simply unable to land a blow.

"I think they are a bit like vampires. If you don't kill them right, they just get 'better'." Yrul offered very unhelpfully as she really wasn't at all certain of the truth of her statement, but prudence in this matter seemed warranted. Just as getting a full attack - with someone flanking - this tanaka was equally warranted.

Yrul attempts to knock the Tanaka down again with Shadow magic and then closes. Des heads towards the flying bird, but as it is 15' high, he cannot strike at it. Ramirez fires several arrows at the Tanaka, hitting once. Nira attempts to alleviate the damage the ice is causing Hmerrin and also casts Feeblemind at the Tanaka, obviously affecting it. Hmerrin moves forward and fires, hitting 2 times. Danko cries out that the Maharaja is dead and turns 180 degrees and squeezes his way back through the trees. Gaffer Casts Summon Nature's Ally V: 2 Medium Air Elementals to bring additional assistance specifically to get the bird. The Storm giant's struggle continue.
