The druids are throwing lightning at us, and the archers and the sorcerers have moved up and throw a freezing sphere at Balaam. Tiny Steve kills another archer. The four active barbarians attack Jenny, doing a big chunk of damage. Chuck drops a quickened fireball on the archers, taking out a couple of the shadows and all of the archers. More lightning lands on Jenny. Bob smacks a barbarian again but doesn’t kill it. Ferrous kills another barbarian.
Pretty much everyone is moving in on us, trying to kill us – and the archers have started trying to kill Durest, as is apparently everyone. Durest casts Harm on Chuck to restore him to full unhealth, and Heals himself and Jenny. More lightning bolts arrive, and Chuck teleports over to the druids and their hordes of summoned creatures.
Balaam fires off a quickened Fireball, and wipes out a huge chunk of treants. Tiny Steve kills another elite archer, and the remaining elite barbarians attack Jenny again. Chuck looks at the Hierophant Druid and tags her with Finger of Death. She dies. He follows up with a quickened fireball against the remaining treants, wiping them out.
Chuck’s delayed-blast fireball goes off, damaging the barbarians around Jenny. Durest takes more lightning damage. Over on the other battlefield, the rhinos power-charge Ferrous. They deliver some damage, but... not a lot. More charge Balaam, but do essentially no real damage. Four of them attack Chuck, and similarly fail to do much of anything. Chuck, Balaam, and Ferrous attack them as they approach.
The archers try to hit Durest, and do a bit of damage. More lightning hits Jenny, and then Durest. Ferrous exhales his poison gas, damaging rhinos. The less-elite archers attack Tiny Steve, and take him down. By this point we’re out of foot soldiers; they’ve all been wiped out. Jenny attacks a barbarian, kills him, and follows through to another. She hits him again, kills him, and then finishes off the last one.
Durest uses Dimension Door to bring himself, Bob, and Jenny over to the other battlefield. He leaves his shadows behind to finish off the elite archers.
The druids go after Chuck with Sunbeam spells, and three of them get past his spell resistance.
He survives.
Balaam drops a Mass Hold Monster and then a quickened fireball, doing some real damage. The sorcerers hit Chuck with scorching rays and nearly kill him. Chuck turns invisible and relocates to the far side of the battle. Rhinos attack the pit fiend Balaam, and… yeah, that’s going to end badly. The rhinos essentially can’t damage him; Ferrous is equally impervious.
Jenny starts in on the fire elementals and the rhinos. She kills a fire elemental – and these are enhanced by the hierophant, or were before the hierophant unexpectedly keeled over a heart attack. She cuts through pretty much everything she can reach. The druids respond by murdering Bob the frost giant skeleton. He’ll be back in two rounds.
Ferrous looks at the rhinos in front of him, lifts his metal fists, and then smashes one. The archers move closer to us, but we’re out of their range.
Durest drops Fire Storm across this whole enemy force, and then follows that absolute maelstrom up with a quickened Destruction to get rid of one of the sorcerers. Healing Ferrous a bit of damage with all that fire is really just a bonus. The surviving druids drop a ton of lightning on Durest in return, and he goes down.
The five greater fire elementals back off and start swirling together. Balaam casts more Mass Hold Monster, paralyzing more druids. He follows it with another quickened fireball, because Pit Fiends are utterly insane.
The air elementals move over and start mixing with the fire elementals. Chuck tags one of the fire elementals with a Polar Ray, and then drops a quickened fireball on the same ones who just got hit by Balaam. The rhinoceri attack Balaam, who basically ignores them. “I’m a prince of Hell!”
The earth elementals move over to the elemental swarm and start circling with them. The air elementals join the swarm, and the whole pile forms into a colossal primal earth elemental.
About ⅔ of the solari druids are down. Three of the remaining druids heal themselves.
Balaam drops a quickened fireball on himself and Ferrous, healing Ferrous and wiping out the rest of the rhinoceri. Balaam moves carefully towards the elemental. The two remaining sorcerers shake off the Hold and stand back up. Chuck Dimension Doors over to Durest and heals him with a potion… barely.
The earth elemental power attacks Jenny and slams the crap out of her. Jenny attacks, and only gets through once. It’s like attacking a mountain. Maodeus has been smushing archers up on the ridge, when the surviving sorcerer teleports in with Cardinal Lovis, who takes one look at the dragon and casts Prismatic Sphere around himself and the sorcerer.
Balaam moves in on the elemental, still being cautious. The two enemy sorcerers fireball Jenny. Chuck responds by Fireballing the three wounded druids. Bob steps over and lifts Durest into his rib cage. The Primal Earth Elemental attacks Jenny again, hitting her twice and doing a big chunk of damage. We start pulling back together, and Cardinal Lovis runs away from Maodeus and lands next to us.
