Christi scouts the area for anything that appears abnormal, and attacks it if she sees anything.

ooc: scouting = detect evil and spot check.. I would say she is using dark vision, but that doesn't apply in the current situation..

(Unfortunately, neither of those abilities extend to the ethereal plane.)

The filcher reappears, runs up to Ekzier, and wraps its arms around him.

(Ekzier is grappling with the filcher, and takes 6 damage)



(Technically, they should be in the same space, but due to the limited space in the cave, they won't be.)

(Malzra's up)

Malzra plays 3 haunting notes on the instrument, closeing his eyes, he grins.

"Don't you just hate that feeling you get when someone's constantly looking over your shoulder?"

ooc: Phantom threat

ooc: so.. Christi cannot actually attack the filcher, right?

OOC:Now you can, since it's back in the Material plane, but I don't know the rules on attacking a character which is currently in a grapple, though(/me looks it up). I quite sure it provokes a AoO...

ooc: Can someone explain to me what all grapple will do, my book is at home and i hve no idea what this means for my character

OOC: You can read up here

Simply put, for this specific situation, you can only attack with unarmed strikes, or a light weapon, or cast a spell but at a higher Concentration DC. You can escape the grapply by making an Escape Artist check. These are all standard actions. You can no longer move, and your threat range is out.

ooc: doh.. blocked at work.

ooc: i'm blocked at work as well. but i get the basic idea... i'm pretty well screwed.

Jarvis, still invisible, attempts to roll past the Filcher while it is occupied with Ekzier. Once on the other side of it, Jarvis drops his invisibility and attacks the Filcher with his rapier, making it look as though he simply appeared on the other side of it.

OOC: Attempt to tumble through Filcher's threatened space with no attack of opportunity (DC 25) as a move action. Attack automatically stops invisibility. Technically, the Filcher is not flanked because Ekzier is within a reach of 0 feet. It will become flanked when someone else moves up next to the Filcher. I'm not sure whether or not I get sneak attacks, but I suspect that I do because I'm physically behind the monster.

(Right, but I wasn't sure who moved into who's space here. There's not enough room for the filcher to move down without shoving poor Jarvis out of the way)

Malzra's conjuration doesn't seem to faze the aberration-- It hardly even notices it's there.

(Kaymeera did get the gist of grappling. Ekzier's up, none-the-less. Imotuyre's and Jarvis' actions will be resolved after Kemchi decides what to do (Try to escape, or get all gung-ho about it and try to fight back in the grapple).)

ooc: Man this is a suck position, How do you determine unarmed attack? If i can get an answer on that i can try to pick my action quickly. I'll give an action as soon as i can figure that out.

(Unarmed attacks for medium humans are 1d3 + str, non-lethal damage. Normally, without improved unarmed attack, this provokes an attack of opportunity, but due to the fact that you're both grappling and therefore threatening no squares, I don't believe the filcher can make one.)

I may be wrong but an unarmed attack is a 1d3 nonlethal after succeeding a standard attack roll. I'm also quite sure, since you're attacking a grappling creature, you don't provoke an AoO
