Flint attacks the rider nearest him with his warhammer Attack: 21 Damage: 12 then attacks the nearest rider with his force hammer Attack: 20 Damage: 3 (same rider if possible)
Flint knocks the rider clean off the vulture with his long-handled warhammer with another sickening crunch, and his spiritual weapon spins into the rider attacking Rip. The rider manages to duck mostly out of the way of the hammer, suffering only a graze.
//Just FYI I'm waiting for Rip to make his Strength Save before I make my turn in case he falls off because realistically he is the only one Angel could probably carry if they fall off because 8 Strength//
//Okay. I just didn't want Rip to fall off and I be unable to do anything.//
Not sure if this is possible but I want to swing around so that Angel is flying above the cloud but still within Melee of this Vulture and Rider not taking an AOO. Basically, if I go down I don't want Angel to fall to the ground but rather fall and land on top of the cloud.
Angel will then strike the Rider once with a Quarterstaff Smack and then with a kick. Both attacks not trying to kill the Cultist but just attempting to knock them out.
// The staff strike knocks the cultist out, and he begins to slip from his perch atop the vulture. Did you want to put the unarmed strike elsewhere? Otherwise it will kill him :) //
//No, I don't want to kill him. Instead of the unarmed strike can I just nudge him forward of the bird so he isn't slipping off. Angel doesn't want to / doesn't like to kill creatures if he believes they can turn to good. So, unless Angel deems them unable to become good he will probably avoid killing them if he can.//
Backing off a bit from the vulture after nudging the rider onto a safe position, Angel notices that the vulture doesn't follow to attack but rather begins to fly away.
Rip continues to hold on to the vulture as it spirals into the air. It cranes its neck, trying to snap at the halfling, but he is too far back to reach.
The other vultures still continue their slow circling of the battle. The vulture with Rip is now 60 feet above the cloudtop (a little over halfway to the second floor of Zephyros' tower) and ascending, and the surviving cultist mage continues his retreat.
The last cultist spurs his vulture on (provoking an AOO from Marav) and takes to the skies.
// A grapple (a contested Strength [Athletics] Check) is a bit much for an AOO, but you can potentially pull them to the ground with you normal melee attack. //
Zephyros stands in the entryway to his tower, watching the struggle with much curiosity. A butterfly flutters past his face and he chuckles at it, gently prodding it with his finger.

// Marav took care of it. He succeeded on his Strength save and killed the caster, so we'll just say Rip is golden. //

Marav glances up at Rip and tilts his head... you can tell he is wondering why Rip was trying to kill himself.

//He is trying to fly away, I wanted to grab him and pull him off the vulture.... don't need to do that though. :)//
Marav lunges at the vulture and bites hard.
Attack: 14 Damage: 11
If I succeed the vulture needs to make a DC 13 or is knocked prone. :D (it only kicks in when I attack a creature)
