Seeing Elsa fall Karl changes tactics, the sliver blade swinging twice to strike home.#

"Withdraw my Lady!" He calls to Elsa, moving to protect her.

[1d20] = 16 ThaCo 15 [1d8+3] = 5+3 = 8
[1d20] = 6 ThaCo 15 [1d8+3] = 3+3 = 6

Gutting the rest of us? I'd like to see you try.... Attempting to pierce whatever the Hag is wearing, Adran will swing at the her yet again with his short sword:

To hit the Hag with short sword [1d20] = 19 To damage the Hag [1d6] = 2

With continued focus Jerry manages to cast a spell.

Spellcasting TN14 [1d20] = 6

"You have to wake up!" Mira calls loudly, continuing to decend the skeleton with the woman, she was here, powerless, her magic gone, her words had lost thier power..

[R6]

Jerry fights through the fog clouding her mind, beginning her spell again. The Hag, almost simultaneously, begins her own encantation! Pyros harangs the hag with another volley of verbal venom, but the hiddeous creature is too concentrated on her casting to spare him more than a glance. Meanwhile Mira continues to drag the seemingly lifeless fighter farther from the combat. She reaches the bridge of webs, but crossing with the Dusky-hued gypsy seems difficult at best.

Sir Karl slashes a powerful cut into the evil priestess, leaving her visibly hurt. Her spell nearly falters, but she continues. He calls out for Elsa to withdraw, but the halfling gathers herself. I'm not leaving Pyros Behind. She says through gritted teeth, taking a clumsy swing with her mace. Adran's sword strikes true doing a small injury to the Hag, but still she doesn't cease her chanting. Pytor drives a staggering blow against her shoulder, to an audible Crack from the armor. The old crone once again barely manages to keep the encantation from failing!

Jerry completes her spell, and a bluish glow surrounds her in a protective aura! Not a moment later, the Hag's spell finishes as she points gnarled fingers at the four men attacking her! Adran, Sir Karl, Pytor and Artanis begin to feel a paralyzing stiffness creep into their bodies! The Ranger and the hammer-weilding gypsy manage to shake the spell off!


[I Need a Save vs Spell from Adran and Sir Karl, please. If successful, continue next round as normal]
[Mira can attempt to cross the webbed bridge with Adrestia over the course of R6, but must make a Dex check at -4 to do so without getting herself at least partly stuck in the web.]

Can Pyros use any missile weapons from his position?

He will continue to verbally abuse her though.

"You couldn't stop a donkey with a wagon of carrots!"

"I can't carry you alone." Stopping at the edge of the bridge she lowers the fallen woman into her lap, looking for signs of injury, "I can't do anything up there, I can't swing a sword, my spells are gone.."

I wish I could wake up by the ocean
Where the waves are breakin'
I wish I could wake up on the mountains
Where the snow keeps fallin'
I wish I could wake up in the jungle
Where the skies always blue
I wish I could wake up anywhere
As long as I'm with you
Ooo ooo I'm with you

I wish I could wake up in the desert
As far as I could see
I'd do anything that I want
With no one watching me
Wish I could wake up
In a world where hope is coming soon
I wish I could wake up anywhere
As long as I'm with you
Ooo ooo I'm with you

I wish I could wake up and all my pain
Was water off my back
No sense in holding on to little things
Lost along the track
Wish I could wake up just the two of us
With nothing much to do
Wish I was anywhere, I don't care
As long as I'm with you
Ooo ooo 'cause I'm with you

I'm with you
I'm with you
Ooo ooo 'cause I'm with you

I wish I could wake up by the ocean
Where the waves are breakin'
I wish I could wake up on the mountains
Where the snow keeps fallin'
I wish I could wake up in the jungle
Where the skies always blue
Wish I could wake up anywhere
As long as I'm with you
Ooo ooo 'cause I'm with you

She sings, trying to inspire the woman, hoping her words might break through whatever held her, smoothing her hair she listens to the battle going on above.

Nearly empty of spells, Jerry reverts to her morningstar, tries to flank and then whack the nasty hag.

A paralyzing magical force siezes Sir Karl!
Sir Karl is magically Held

[Start R7]

The party brings all of their weapons to bear against the hag, but almost miraculously none of them land more than a glancing blow except for Pyros! The Kender's knife defies all odds and sails through the melee to nick the side of the Hag's head! The strike does not break her concentration however, and the old crone finishes her spell. Suddenly she begins moving oddly, almost as if she were acting in accelerated time!

Below, Mira begins an inspiring song in an attempt to snap the Gypsy Woman out of her death-like state.

Mira's song continues, fighting the darkness that threatened to surround her her voice becomes a pillar of hope.

Still weary from the Hag’s worthless attempt to paralyze him, Adran takes another swing at her with his sword. In a voice that sounded like a drunken stupor, he said You jusssst need to be gooone.....

Short sword to hit Hag [1d20] = 3 To damage Hag [1d6] = 4
