Gerand's voice calls out hoarsely "Spread out!" The Eladrin starts to advance on a sweet-spot on the three foes to his front..... then disappears, reappearing in front of the spectre, with his sword coming down in a swift but awkward arc.

The spectral apparition cackles as the Swordmage's blade passes right through it.

Golkonda replies to the pumped up familiar... "You do know I just did that to survive, right?"

The gith concentrates some more of his healing powers on the tiefling, takes a quick step to his side, and attacks one of the bandits, long knife charged with arcane power.

Golkonda slices the zombie down before its flesh gets a chance to rot. Amnon still looks hurt, but not as badly as before.

Amnon takes a step forward and channels the power of his goddess, surrounding his enemies with a harmful glow as he smites the remaining reptile.

Amnon's holy light makes him a shining beacon to his enemies, catching their attention and turning it away from his peers. He swings his weapon at the remaining drake, which manages to duck intuitively at the last moment.

Round 3!

The reptile retaliates against the paladin, who swats the creature's gnashing teeth away with his shield. As he brings the shield up, however, the changeling darts in and uses the opportunity for distraction. She then swipes with her swortsword, once again drenching Amnon's armor in his own crimson blood.

Call recites a booming litany and a bright light effuses the area surrounding Amnon, Blades of Astral Fire erupt out from the light and lash at Amnon's many assailants.

The shadowy claws continue scraping at Cal as he calls upon divine light to ravage his enemies- he uses the flash as a chance to escape the claws' grasp. One of the humans falls, while both the changeling and drake suffer severe burns.

The spectral apparition glides away from the swordmage, hoping to pin him in place with more shadowy claws. He succeeds as Gerand fails to dodge the umbral talons erupting from the ground.

The two remaining Humans look toward the wounded holy-men. One approaches and attacks Amnon, managing a deal a rough blow as Amnon wearily attempts to keep up, while the other merely slips into place behind Cal.

Flay's turn! He gets torn at by the shadow claws.

Gerand curses as the tentacles rise up. Lashing out with what little time he had, he forces against the claws, pushing them away, trying to escape the tshadows grasp as they rake at his flesh and armor.

Gerand misses the apparition, as it seems too quick and the Swordmage too distracted by the shadowy claws.

After initially struggling to cast off the shadow claws, Gerand finally manages to escape their grasp.

Golkonda's turn!

"Hey Gerand! Can you see anything that looks like a circle around you? That spirit was summoned; if we manage to disrupt the magic in the circle the spirit might be gone..."

Then the gith takes another step, this time closer to the changeling. Then, charges his staff with electricity and releases it on the shapechanging creature.

Golkonda's electrical strike misses its target, diffusing harmlessly.

Amnon's attack misses his target, as the changeling dodges the strike fluidly.

Round 4!

The lone remaining guard drake takes the opportunity of a distracted tiefling to make a vicious gnashing of its teeth, tearing into an already wounded body. The sight of the paladin crumpling to the ground as the drake rears its sharp-toothed maw back is more than a bit disheartening.

The changeling grins, and looks to be nearly on the verge of cackling. "Do you see, fools? Do you see what happens when you cross Sil and Lord Kalarel? Death is coming swiftly for you all!"

The Changeling, who you assume now must be Sil, twirls around the immobilized body of the Invoker in a flourish, and swings her shortsword as part of the same fluid movement expecting that the momentum, combined with the element of surprise, would deal the githyanki artificer a terrible blow. However, Golkonda's book imp shrieks when it sees Sil making her sudden move, allowing its master to make a split-second dodge.

It's Cal's turn!

Cal causes an eruption of shards targeted on the changeling before him.

Cal begins intoning an incantation directed at both the changeling and nearby human, each of whom lash out at the Invoker as he begins chanting. With his concentration on focusing the power's energies, they both easily hit- However, this does not stop the Kalashtar, whose shards tear brutally at both combatants. The human falls, leaving Sil wounded but standing. Her movements seem much more sluggish all of a sudden.

The apparition attempts to raise more shadow claws to grasp at the invoker, but finds himself distracted by the light reflecting from the shards. It then retreats around and up the slope.

The remaining Human rushes Gerand, hoping to take him by surprise, but stumbles and misses.

Gerand dodges the human's blade, starting to feel weary from fighting after the sight of his teammate's condition. His sword strike, wreathed in sound, covers up his prayer to his liege Lady, "...... Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness, lend me strength....."
