(( 6 & 7 need to roll saves against Del's command to flee, before the plants grow? Also you can make the tendilly area any shape with gaps and paths etc, so the satyrs needn't be trapped and you could be more tactically shaped. But perhaps Ziia has not studied our pre-planned shapes from the doc ))

(Ah, yes--half-asleep early morning posts.... :D)

6 and 7 saves: 10,  3

6 runs away obediently, while 7 stands his ground. The thick growth now covers the southwest quarter of the 'donut', leaving gaps around the edges so Raven and Mindartis are not caught in the thicket, and a path to the pits leading under the tree is clear: the satyrs can join you, or you can join them. (Flitterbug, I assume, is flying above it all.)

((Raven said she moved north to hide after attack, so she'd be by the hut north of wolf4, Ethen moved North after he launched arrows, and FB is indeed above it all, but she started going north as well, but only about 10 feet since she was mostly gaining elevation))

Okay, noted, but not updating map just yet. Quentin, Cup, Mindartis and Althaea yet to move before the giants, i believe.

((I'll post in the morning, working on an important school project))

(No rush, I won't have much time tomorrow, so won't be on much. All of us at my library are getting shipped off to get vaccinated in the morning, then work after. And, possibly side effects in the evening. ^^ )

Satyrs are M's to command, but if they meet us north of that closest house, maybe some ambush a baddie as it comes out of the plant growth, but in general stay out of sight or far away until they can get into melee to avoid the evil eye; and only attack in overwhelming numbers. Bummer they do not have their bows

((questions - the Everlost Tree on the map - how far can you go under the canopy until you reach the trunk? Are the pits near where the satyr clumps are now?))

(Sorry. Worked sucked yesterday and I feel asleep as soon as I was home.)

Quentin aims at the largest group of giants and sends out a little bead of darkness and suddenly expands into a sinkhole trying to pull all the giants into the center of it. Meanwhile Cup continues to fire little bolts of fire at the closest giants. 

Gravity Sinkhole (5th level by Q, 1/2 damage and no push on successful DC 16 Con ST): 31

Cup's Firebolt: Attack: 18 Damage: 7

(Yes, the pits on this side of the tree are more or less where the satyr groups are. There are pits all around the immediate perimeter of the tree, though. If you get within ten feet of it, you should be near a pit.  And the image of the tree pretty much covers where the trunk is. The actual canopy spreads out overhead to the bramble barrier.)

thanks DM. And, hopefully Q and C are also moving along with us to the NE?

Talk is free, so Del keeps it up (in elvish &or sylvan to the party) Stay sixty feet away or out of sight so they cannot evil-eye you from the weeds. They can move just 15 feet if they do nothing else - give them nothing else to do. Lord Quentin and I can blast and push them all day, to let them out one at a time. and then he repeats loudly in undercommon, for the fomorian's benefit, as well as normally for the party Let them out one at a time, and those in the weeds can watch as - one at a time - we cut their fellows to ribbons. And they can think about how the hags abandoned them, how the Archwitch left them as we arrived, and decide if they wish to die for her Then back to just the party It is still a tough fight, and those I fooled may come around the back so be warry. Maybe fighting giants is the right time to become one, Lord Mindartis, and let us see what else we can get. Mighty Flitterbug, can you take some satyrs and free that tortoise, an see if there are others to join the fight?

Mindartis and Althaea continue their retreat, Mindartis calling out to the Saytrs, "We need to get rid of them!" he gestures wildly at the Formilions.

"We'll try to hold them off!" the lead satyr says as they move to get between the party and the Fomorians. "Your call broke our chains. If you can free the Eladrin warriors under the tree, you will have even more powerful allies!"

(Will move the baddies and update the map in a couple of hours when I am home from work.)

Cup scorches #7!

At Quentin's arcane command, a gravity sinkhole opens in the middle of the giants! CON saving throws: 3-23, 4-20, 8-10, 10-22, 11-10, 12-21, 13-17, 14-7, 15-6, 18-12, 24-14, 29-21

Fomorians 8, 11, 14, 15, 18 and 24 are pulled into a heap at the center, where they spend this round trying to stand up in the tangle of brush...along with #10, who had the misfortune to be at the center of the collision. #29 will never rise again!

Hearing all the shouting, and seeing their prisoners escaped, the searching Fomorians finally realize something is wrong!  They struggle to get out of the weed patch and rush to the attack.

Fomorians 4 and 7 both hurl the Evil Eye at the pesky wizard!  Quentin, roll two DC14 charisma saves! On each success, take half damage and no curse: on each fail, take 22 damage. If you fail the roll against #4, you are cursed!

3 and 12 cast the evil eye at nearby satyrs. (Satyr saves: 20  17 )

19 and 26 eyeball the satyrs at the southern end. (Satyr saves: 12  17 )

30 just whacks at them with his club.

Attack: 23 Damage: 15

Attack: 13 Damage: 13

(Map does not reflect any dead satyrs at this time. Satyr 20 has bitten the dust, done in by a lethal combination of club and curse.)

The party is up!

Flitterbug is nearly expended, so she grudgingly grunts Fine Galanodel, I will get help She dive bombs eastward, towards whatever hole she can get to or near saying You four are supposed to come with me to the closest satyrs - probably 5, 7, 8, 9 - and heads down (or gets ready to head down) underground. She asks what the sitch is underground, and what the deal is with the tortoise

((satyrs btw have advantage on magic saves like the evil eye))

The last two wolves step up to attack f4

20 if hit damage is 7

12 if hit damage is 5

For each hit, a DC11 STR save or be knocked prone

Del takes a quick survey ...where there's love and darkness and my sidearm...hey, hey-ah, hey elan...

and decides on f7 as the luck winner - 3 repelling Blasts hoping to push the ugly into the brambles

13 doing 4

24 doing 6

10 doing 10

each hit pushes 10 feet

And Del heads north to the east side of the SE corner that nearest hut, no more than 30 feet from Q in case he needs to reach next turn for curse reversals

Flitterbug reaches the open pit, and the four nearby satyrs look a little relieved to be about to leave the field of combat.  "There's tunnels all around the main root," a satyr tells her. "Small creatures and elf children in the lower ones. Some Eladrin in the upper tunnels, maybe ten or fifteen. They are all pretty securely chained, though.  The Fomorians are afraid of them. They are very strong."

"Poor thing," another satyr says of the tortoise. "They dragged it back from the forest a few days ago. I imagine when it dies, or they get bored with tormenting it, they will cook the beast."

 16 (Satyr 20 is still dead.)

 Giant strength saves: 7  9

F4 will spend his next turn picking himself up out of the weeds.  Meanwhile, F7 stares in stupid confusion as he finds himself further away than ever.
