The Hound archon is a blur of motion as he manages to dodge or knock away every attack directed against him. He strikes out once more, the shark blade swinging through the spider's head and around towards Selena.
The spider collapses and disappears, but Selena manages to duck under the swing.
Spider takes 9 damage and is down for the count. Archon missed Selena's ac, that was not stopwatch
(previous round) Kiven staggers to his feet after being down for the count yet again.
(new round) Kiven takes one more small step and catches a glimpse of the new threat. He draws back the bow and gets back into the fight with a groan as his muscles ache after the previous attacks that had knocked him out.
Attack 1: 25 , Damage 2 , 6 from Blau
Rapid Shot: 10 , Damage 5 , 4 from Blau
Ray of Frost Shot: 22 , Damage 5 , 3 from Blau, Cold Damage 1
"Shit," Eya curses as her spider gets cleaved. She sees her party in trouble and rubs more butter between her hands. "Be a good boy and drop it," she demands as this time the handle of the blade is coated in grease.
Still keeping back against the wall, Blau fires at the Hound once more, trying to help down this far too effective threat.
Attack: 13 Damage: 5

“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
The Hound Archon is hit with several arrows in the next few moments, although most cause him little harm. Selena also manages to sneak a thrust in between his defenses.
A moment later, and the sword slips out of the celestial's grip. Instead of going for the weapon, the Archon's eyes light up, and he starts to grow even as he drops to all fours. An opening presents itself, and Selena is able to stab the creature yet again. A few moments later, and in place of the archon stands a wolf the size of a pony, with almost brilliantly white fur and a soft golden glow.

Selena shakes her head as the hound changes form. She gestures at the hound to claim.it and summons unholy energy. Her blade has dark energy swirling around as she launches an attack at him.
OOC: She uses headstone breaking which reduces his strength by 4.
Eya uses her tail to "hand" the Wand of Infernal Healing from her pack to Blau, "Here you go, and thanks."
Then, her eyes flare with arcane power as she begins to cast a spell with dark, Infernal speech. Suddenly, a dark, extradimensional sinking pit slopes around and behind the canine. "Now fall," Eya demands of the hound.
Swift action to grab the wand from the bag and give it to Blau. I hope it isn't too much of a stretch to say that Eya made a tiny shovel with the Traveler's Any-Tool beforehand since she prepped the spell to begin with >.>. Even though I didn't state it specifically...Sorry Dai but will understand if you rule that I can't use it.
Anyway, using Create Pit Reflex 19. Hoping to cause an AoO from at least Selena and Respar if it falls. It might also take some fall damage since the pit is 20 feet deep since we are at caster level 4.
Several arrows and strikes miss the newly formed Celestial Dire Wolf, Selena and Respar manage to strike home though, and Blau's crossbow bolt hits it hard.
It is just about to lunge at Selena when the ground drops out from under it, and the creature falls with a yipping sound. A hole had formed in the rooftop, but instead of leading to the rookery below, there was this deep hole with stone walls going a full twenty feet down.
The archon hits the bottom of the pit, but quickly gets back on his feet. After a few moments of contemplating the walls before it, it vanishes...
Only to reappear on the rooftop, face to face with Eya, growling loudly, clearly annoyed that she'd prevented him from tearing into the group twice now.
Respar grins when the hound drops down, but his grin is replaced with a look of grim determination when it reappears, ready to menace Eya. Respar dances around the hole and once more places himself in position to stab the creature in its hindquarters.
Blau sees no easy way to help with the Hound, so he instead taps into the wand's magic and starts the slow healing process. "Maybe you all can clear a path, Respar & Selena?" He hints broadly.

Selena hears Blau in the midst of hanging on for dear life. She yells over her shoulder, " What in the 9 levels of hell do you think we are doing? " Knowing she needs energy, her will causes her blade to appear ethereal. She drives it hard towards the hound hoping to sap him of some of his life essence.
OOC: She uses thirsting axe strike as her action and will have stopwatch readied in case she is struck. She will gain temp hitpoints equal to the amount of damage she causes. She will move to the side to give Blau room if possible without leaving melee.
Strangely, Eya doesn't seem at all surprised when the hound teleports in front of her. She simply cranes her neck up to meet it's angry gaze. "I thought that's what you were going to do," she says with a calm expression and tone.
Eya then looks around to see Kiven, Blau, and Selena all in critical condition as the hound bears down on her.
"Now then, bring it, mutt," Eya taunts as she carefully watches and prepares for the wolf's strike.
Eya recognizes that she has angered the wolf and realizes the best chance of survival is for her allies to kill the wolf. So she will take the Total Defense action which will bring her AC up to 20 total with mage armor. Brave girl.
The archon turned Dire Wolf is hit several times, including a particularly nasty strike from Respar into its haunch.
For it's part, the large canine lunges forward and bites down on Eya's shoulder. The arcanist gets shaken like a chew toy before being flung at two of the archon's other tormentors, Selena and Respar. The Rogue manages to get out of the way in time, but Selena is not so lucky, and gets knocked into the pit. Eya for her part managed to get a hand hold on one of the flagstones and avoid falling in herself.

DC 18 Reflex Grease on the greatsword
Selena feels a small surge of energy from the archon her arrow dropped. She steps forward again and her blade whips out supernaturally quick.
OOC: She is using rapid strike again plus I'm rolling for her Stopwatch counter if it is needed.

Respar curses at the creature's transformation and decides he needs to engage directly. He scurries up and over, brandishing his rapier...

"Pass me that wand, Eya, and I'll put it to good use."
Blau shoots at the newly shapeshifted dog, seeing if this new form is more vulnerable to his attacks than the old one.
OOC - He will take the wand, if he can.
