The crossbow bolt goes wide, the blue creature's head turning to watch it clatter nearby. It chuckle-snarls, glaring at the knight, only to be smashed from the other side as the first of the eldritch blasts collides with it's body, the mote of potential exploding with a thunderous noise. The impact of the blast forces the slaad's head to the side, though it seems less affected by the cacophony that follows. The creature growls and rights itself - just in time for the second beam to impact against it's leg. The stronger hit causes it to stumble slightly, eldritch energy leaving small marks almost like burns where it impacted.

The red slaad tosses aside its victim, eyes focusing on those who're rudely interrupting their mid-afternoon snack, focusing on the armoured knight that came forward. With surprising speed, it quickly closes the distance between its now discarded meal and the armoured fighter.

The one with the blue hide, now recovered from the impact, pulls itself back up to full height. Some of the burn marks on its body begin to vanish, fresh blue skin taking their place. Angered at the attack on its being, it advances up the street, ignoring the antics of the animated cart.

As the planar frogs charged forward, Alynne noticed that both Lady Sings-With-Purpose and Lord Morningstar were fighting against the creatures, plus another person that she didn't knew. She didn't knew much about the frogs, but they seemed hostile, so there was no other option but to fight.

A genuine bright smile forms in her face, as she grabs her beautiful bandore and starts playing it, while her raven Sephtir suddenly disappears from her shoulder, although still shining due to the faerie fire effect.

''Stars fall at my feet
Keep me grounded as I reach
Higher than I see
Is there something there for me?...''

Alynne starts singing and dancing, and slightly moving around, her purple shiny silk dress following her every movements, while she looks extremely happy to perform. Her voice reaches the unknown individual that charged and attacked the blue frog, while she spontanously felt the need to boost her life as she sings...

The Air Genasi is fast - in the blink of an eye, the distance between himself and the blue slaad is crossed; blades flash, digging into the chaos beast's flesh. Blood from the creature splatters the ground. Though three of strokes land, the slaad manages to avoid the last. The creature, though clearly wounded, still stands.

As the celadrin sings, she is filled with vigor, feeling like she could handle more than normal. The words also reach the air genasi, filling him with a sense of inspiration. The raven familiar sweeps in wide circles, rising into the sky as it vanishes - though a spectral, glowing outline remains from the small bolts of electricity that sparkle across its form.

The grey slaad, meanwhile, begins to make gutteral sounds, gesturing with its large clawed hands. Slowly, the creature begins to rise off the ground then with a sudden zip, it rises further into the sky, advancing down the street.

(The grey slaad ends its round fourty-five feet in the air.)

Sir Brian was the second one to move after Sir Albus. The Knight saw that Alynne was dancing and performing as her strange musical magics started to affect the surroundings, so without bothering or blocking her way, he moves alongside her to cover her left flank, giving her protection while also giving clear sight to the red frog shooting it with his crossbow but it might had been not very effective

Sir Wulfric on the other hand rushed forward to protect Alynne's right flank while also supporting Sir Albus into fighting the red frog, trying to hit it with his greatsword and hitting it twice with great apparent effect.

Sir Percival also rushed forward with his companion, to engage in melee combat with the same red planar frog but due to the angle of engaged he might have missed once while hitting the red frog once.

The crossbow bolt misses, the sudden burst of speed from the red slaad making it difficult to hit but the two knights with the swords, closing on the creature, strike home. Blades cut into the creature's hide.

The green slaad, held in the alley where it shed its form by the animated cart, growls in frustration, lashing out with tooth and claw. Only its flailing claws strike home, tearing chunks of wood off the animated vehicle.

(Animated Cart takes 13 points of damage total.)

Claw Attack #2: 2#1d20+7 21 8

Ghosting for Sings-With-Purpose

A burst of light eminates from the aasimar; as it fades, a pair of wings stretch from her back, flapping and forcing the bard into the air. She speaks some words that are soon carried away in the breeze but Sir Albus finds himself inspired, ready to fight on against the beast.

The cart, ignoring the damage done to it, continues to spin wildly, smashing its sides against the beast with cartly fury.

(Sings uses Radiant Soul, flies up 30 ft.; gives Bardic Inspiration to Knight 1/Sir Albus. The cart attacks the green slaad.)

Sir Albus draw his greatsword as the red slaad charged him, and try to hit the creature, although the sudden rush forward of the creature put him off balance in one of his swings, but the other seems to have hit solidly...

"AVERNUS SMITE!" Gabriel ran up to the blue frog thing, and hit it with his morning smite, red-gold energy surrounding the weapon as it smashed into the blue toadlike monster, fire spreading over to it. "THE ABYSS TAKE YOU!". His second attack seemed to hit even harder, as the gold energy brightened in intensity.

The wide swings of Sir Albus' sword strike home on the first blow but the blade catches, making it hard to pull back and causing the second swing to harmlessly bounce off the creature's tough hide.

The tiefling paladin strikes twice, quickly; the first time, the weapon spreads fire over the beast. The flames are small and don't seem to have much affect but smolder along its hide. The creature is smacked hard by the second blow, the infused divine energy behind the attack driving the weapon's head home. The blue slaad howls in fury.

Meanwhile, the red slaad, presented with a wide variety of choices, goes after the one that had dealt it the most pain. With a vicious snap, the slaad closes its mouth around the knight's shoulder, piercing straight through armor and into the tender flesh underneath. Held by the creature's teeth, the knight is unable to defend himself from the first vicious claw slash though his training allows him to deflect the second.

The blue slaad, though, seems almost unbothered by the flames crawling across its skin as they continue to burn away at it. It also seems less than happy about the source of its pain, turning to attack Gabriel in a flurry of teeth and claws. The teeth strikes home, digging into exposed flesh, and one of the claws finds a gap in the paladin's armor. The second claw though scrapes against the metal, gouging the surface but otherwise leaving no lasting impact on the tiefling. A brief wave of nausea overtakes the tiefling as the claws strike.

(Blue Slaad is affected by Searing Smite. Blue Slaad is Bloodied. Red Slaad deals a total of 14 damage to Knight 3; Knight 3 must make a DC14 CON saving throw or be infected with Slaad Eggs. Blue slaad fails CON save for Searing Smite and takes damage from it. Blue Slaad deals a total of 25 damage to Gabriel; Gabriel must make a DC15 CON saving throw or be infected with Chaos Phage. No, ignore that because paladins like to steal all my slaadi fun.)
