GM POST
At the southern hallway, Ranar swings his axe in a wide arc, forcing the attackers back until de Courcy leaps down the stairs into position beside him. Meanwhile, Jibril shouts at Eabd as he takes the chance to put another slashing cut into the fallen Thing as it struggles to its feet.
As the newcomers arrive, they charge in a wave at Nic and Ranar. Dancing and spinning, Nic dodges two attempted shoulder charges, sending one bouncing off the wall behind him while he rides the other one harmlessly.
Refusing to allow any Thing past, Ranar braces for the charge, arm itching from the missing weight of his familiar shield. A swish of his axe diverts one of the attackers into a face-first slam into the stone wall beside the corridor, but the same swish leaves him open to the second Thing, whose clawed hands snatch Ranar’s axe arm in a desperate grip.
Lying on his back in the corner, Hawk’s attempt at a chant is interrupted as a Thing tears at his face; his chant dissolves into a scream. Nearby, Thwip shouts for a retreat as he turns and runs for the western hall, eyes fixed over his shoulder on the rampaging Things behind him.
His fixed gaze gives him a perfect view as Eabd lunges forwards and neatly decapitates the Thing that had been pursing him. Unfortunately, it also meant that he was staring directly into the Thing’s face as it exploded in a blinding flash. Even more unfortunately, this left him completely unaware of the other Thing as it charged in and knocked him to the ground.
Nic, there’s a Thing in your hex, facing you. Ranar, you’re under Thing 11, facing 4 o’clock. Hawk, you’re under Thing 6, on your back. Thwip, you’re under Thing 5, on your back
Jibril, Ranar and Nic are still dazzled. Hawk, your spell fizzled (thanks to the shock penalty from the 4HP scratch to the face); you can try again next turn if you don’t pass out. Thwip, you’re blind, on your back and you’ve taken another 3HP from getting knocked down. Ranar, you’re grappled again, but this time you’re grappled by the arm instead of the torso. Instead of -4 to everything, it just means that you can’t move or attack with your axe arm until you break the grapple. And your left hand is free and unoccupied
