 ==============================================================================


GAME: Rumbo rolls Ranged: (17)+7: 24

GAME: Rumbo rolls 1d6: (3): 3

GAME: Rumbo used a Alchemist's Fire.

Rumbo shivers and shakes with cold as dark welts of frostbite mark his pickle-green skin from where the ice elementals have previously bitten him. As his teeth rattle against each other the Gun-toting Gobber uses a different tactic this round though no less apropos: A glass flask of alchemists fire! Slipped from where it dangles off his gunbelt the dashing Gobber flings it towards the group of larger Ice Elementals that have arrived as reinforcements for the vanquished small Icies.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 6.

It is now Culix's turn! Lillianath is next!

GAME: Culix rolls weapon3: (18)+6: 24

GAME: Culix rolls damage3: aliased to 1d4+0: (4)+0: 4

Culix winces as the cold washes over her from the incoming elementals attack, and she tosses her dagger into the air, catching it with a reversed grip to spin around and slam the blade into the creature to the hilt. "Do these things have /any/ vital organs?" she wonders, as she wriggles the dagger to pull it free of the creature once again.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 6.

It is now Lillianath's turn! Disaster is next!

GAME: Lillianath rolls 2d6: (4): 4

As the second wave crashes over them, and the situation begins to look dire, Lilli closes a fist around her pendant, holding it up to the ceiling of the cavern. "O pale Lady, grant us the strength to triumph over adversity, in the name of the Moon!"

The pendant glimmers, emitting a cool light that soothes the wounds of the combatants, and grants a small measure of comfort against the hardships face thus far.

Not *much* comfort, however. Maybe there's too much ice in the way of the moon, to get a good shine.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 6.

It is now Disaster's turn! Ice Elementals is next!

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+3: (6)+3: 9

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d6+4+1d4: (1)+4+(2): 7

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1+1d3: (1)+1+(1): 3

The elementals, the news one, spread out further and further. The smalelr ones swarm the lot of you, while a couiple fail to breach Griva's substantial defenses. She's there, after all, doing her thing. Focused.

Those defenses won't last forever, at least, but Lillianath, Culix, Alexander and Disaster are all struck by the biting cold of the elemental's grasp.


GAME: NEW ROUND!

Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 10.

It is now Alexander's turn! Rumbo is next!

GAME: Alexander rolls weapon4: (4)+6: 10

Alexander pulls an arrow from his quiver and aims and fires only for the elemental to move and make him miss. He makes a face and he resists the cold as he tries to get another arrow ready for his next attack


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 6.

It is now Rumbo's turn! Culix is next!

GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 6.

It is now Culix's turn! Lillianath is next!

GAME: Culix rolls weapon3: (5)+6: 11

Culix swings her dagger again and she is unable to find purchase on the elemental this time, the blade glancing harmlessly off its icy carapace.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 6.

It is now Lillianath's turn! Disaster is next!

GAME: Lillianath rolls 2d6: (4): 4

"...Lady of the Stars and Sky, I don't mean to be ungrateful, but... if you could perhaps *escalate* that healing..." Lilli's prayer trails off as her pendant emits another feeble shine. Frowning, she looks like she wants to shake the holy symbol, and get the healing unplugged.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 6.

It is now Disaster's turn! Ice Elementals is next!

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+6: (13)+6: 19

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 2d6: (8): 8

One of the smaller golems gets slagged by Disaster's efforts!

He's not such a disaster right now, is he?!


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 3.

It is now Ice Elementals' turn! Alexander is next!

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+4: (16)+4: 20

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+4: (17)+4: 21

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1+1d4: (4)+1+(4): 9

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1+1d3: (3)+1+(3): 7

They continue to bounce off Griva's shielding, but it's clear that won't last forever. Mists of ice roll up the invnisible field around her as it's chilled by their touch.

She's ignoring them, focused as she is.

The others, though, they press their attack, leaving burns of frost on everyone as they reach out and grab, punch and claw at the adventurer's protecting her. Just being near them is deeply uncomfortable.


GAME: NEW ROUND!

Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Six - Init 10.

GAME: Alexander rolls weapon4+1: (7)+6+1: 14


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Six - Init 6.

It is now Rumbo's turn! Culix is next!

GAME: Rumbo rolls Ranged+1+1+1: (7)+7+1+1+1: 17

GAME: Rumbo rolls 1d6: (1): 1

GAME: Rumbo rolls 1d6: (4): 4

Rumbo grits his teeth together to try and stop them from chattering together, even after the waves of healing from Lillianath pumped some warmth into his tiny body, and points his dragonspitter at the closest Elemental. KABOOM! The Gobber blasts away and though the shot only wings the ice outsider having been set alight with alchemists fire it's enough to shatter the melting creature.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Six - Init 6.

It is now Culix's turn! Lillianath is next!

GAME: Culix rolls weapon3: (7)+6: 13

GAME: Culix used a Smoke Pellet.

GAME: Culix rolls stealth-10: (8)+13+-10: 11

Culix's beady eyes dart about the room- spying the other folks here growing close to becoming overwhelmed by the elementals, she slashes out once more towards the creature. Once more her blade has no effect on the ice elemental, and she utters a very colorful Gobber-speak curse. With her free hand, she retrieves a small hard pellet from a pouch on her belt, and throws it down against the ice- it explodes into a cloud of thick smoke around her which hopefully will make it harder for the elementals to hit her.


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Six - Init 6.

It is now Lillianath's turn! Disaster is next!

GAME: Lillianath rolls 2d6: (4): 4

"...This is a really bad time to test faith, my Lady," Lilli mutters, as another feeble glimmer of healing energy flows from her pendant. "I'm not terribly keen on people *dying* at the moment..."


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Six - Init 6.

It is now Disaster's turn! Ice Elementals is next!

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+7: (19)+7: 26

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 2d6+3: (7)+3: 10

Another blast from Disaster, even as he has one of hte larger ones on him, burns away the smaller one attacking Rumbo, finishing it off to help him. Teamwork!


GAME: Whirlpool advances the initiative order.

Round Six - Init 3.

It is now Ice Elementals' turn! Alexander is next!

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+4: (1)+4: 5 (EPIC FAIL)

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+4: (17)+4: 21

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+4: (13)+4: 17

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+7: (17)+7: 24

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+7: (10)+7: 17

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1+1d3: (1)+1+(3): 5

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1+1d3: (1)+1+(3): 5

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1+1d3: (3)+1+(1): 5

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d100: (97): 97

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+7: (12)+7: 19

AGain, less of them. Still a couple bashing at Griva's shield, and sooner or later she's going to finish what she's doing, right? Right?

Still ongoing at the moment, though, her eyes closed. Focused. Intent.

">..hmm.."

She doesn't seem pleased with whatever she's finding, trhough.

Alexander and Lilianath aere battered by two of the ice elementals, freezing touches once again erupting fresh blisters on them from gfrostburn, while one swings at Rumbo and another at Disaster, the two of them able to avoid harm. Culix's smoke leaves one of them confused, unable to target him through it. It just sort of stares instead.
