Am I stupid? What did I think would happen? There are more of us than them, odds were they'd attack us and not each other. And I even showed them the red eyes... Akame mentally berated himself before refocusing on the fight. The way that spell worked, they'd keep attacking Chadderlay until he wasn't an available target. And while it was still better than for them to attack him it was hardly the effect he'd been aiming for. And the way he kept burning magic was definitely going to get him killed one of these days.
Fighting the temptation to spend scarce power to double its effect, Akame reluctantly followed Chadderlay's example with a fire bolt of his own, aimed at the drow mage also. He then stepped away from the group to make area of effect attacks less tempting.
<also, if the 3 PCs in Ythrynn want to go up and join the others in the caves of hunger, go ahead. It's not overly "meta," just say you do hear something or whatever. You have my full approval, either way.>
Sam moves to this clearing with this wired city “huh looks likes that dammed monistary” then hears a faint fire bolt being let loose then turns to his companions “you lot hear that it’s faint but it sound close”
(OOC Would the three of us have learned from the Harpers that our allies are in the vicinity?)
Nah, they're totally autonomous. Majes more sense since there's a pair of red wizards in the mix and that's the threat they're currently combating, or the key to the threat, rather?

The drow mage, feeling the scorch of Akame's spell, feeling surrounded by brutes and realizing he is outnumbered and outgunned by a superior number of magi, begins to cast a summoning spell.

<Well, that's certainly less interesting than something actually happening. This is also the kind of thing that makes me want to see the answers to that survey. RaW, there is a 40% chsnce that the mage fails to summon anything, but the question I'm left with is "who cares"? Thats what the surveymight tell me.>

Alright, so technically, i think I was supposed to roll for enemies abound for each attack. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the RAW on that, but I don't want o bother. Instead, I'm willing to bother rolling for the next target after the first bugbear drops, whixh happens on the first hit and we'll see where the remainder goes.
Confused by Akame's spell, Meldirn wounds Tlaknar as he slays Yilsebek, the mage with his shortsword, leaving the pair alone at each other's throats alongside the enraged bugbear chief.
As Samogri points out the sounds of nearby battle, Angus responds, "We can investigate, but I would vote to remain hidden and not interfere unless there were no other choice." He will then follow the lizardman as he directs them towards the noise.
"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”

G@Samogri, @Teteevesa, @Angus, pleas make a Group stealth check.
DC 17 for the nothics, DC 14 for the dryad.
<If you read earlier, players already know there is a dryad and nothics in the are between the combat and the city.>
<In case there's some reason it might matter, originally the distance between the bridge to Ythryn and the purple pear orchard is almost a mile, so even thunder step wouldn't be loud enough to hear. But we're changing this to accommodate reuniting the party>
One of these bugbears is dead, one is on a side if an ice wall 10ft high (though Morwena could hsve chosen to make it go to the ceiling) opposite from any enemies not counting the ice oiercers overhead (who function more like a trap thst moves to you. Total kamikaze, animated by divine magic as guadsians of the place, if youre noticing thst their actions defy self presevation instinct)
So, I'm just going with the better attack on the already bloodied drow warrior, even though it is actually the chief.
