(Remember to ad the +1 to hit from Bless if you haven't been!)

(Actually, as of round 7, Bless has expired [six round duration]... doesn't look like the +1 would've changed any of the previous results, but people may want to double-check and let me know in case I overlooked something.)

(By my count Hadrian's AC is currently -1, with a combined -4 to hit so the net effect is the same. Additionally the first attack leveled at him automatically misses due to his displacement.)

(Right, right. I always confuse the spell version with the psionic version.)

((Well in round 6 that means both of Nuuko's hits with the ineffective steel longsword hit and bounced off instead of just the first one.

Since Bless has a full round casting time, wouldn't its effect start at the very end of round 1, thus carrying it through the very end of round 7? If so, Nuuko's attack in round 7 will definitely hit regardless of unknown magical bonuses on the broadsword. Also, if that's the case, this confirmation of the crit would be +5.))

(If it starts any time during round 1 and lasts six rounds, it expires at the end of round 6. However, since it's a full-round casting time, I'd say it wouldn't kick in until the beginning of round 2, so everybody can keep the +1 attack/save bonus until the end of round 7.)

As John turns to challenge the greater fiend, the mezzoloth he leaves behind takes a parting shot, sticking him in the shoulder. Nuuko, wielding the sword taken from Pascal's body, lays into the creature's flank. The fiend returns his attack, injuring him in the abdomen; the Athasian narrowly escapes the puncture of any vital organs.

Tllith again harries and distracts the mezzoloth targeting Abaia, giving her the opportunity to do what she does best -- while the fiend is pinned between the bebilith's jaws, Gl'Fnak's sword cleaves into its back, splitting chitinous plates and bone with a sickening crack and spray of ichor. Abaia drops the quickly-expiring yugoloth and looks to the one squaring off with Nuuko as another victim on which to abate her bloodlust.

Hadrian's spell multiplies his image just as the ferocious fiend closes with him for melee. The nycaloth lashes out with both claws, narrowly missing the Bleaker but slashing through one of the images, dispersing it like a thin fog. John, beginning to feel the press of the battle and the weight of his wounds, can't manage to land a solid blow against the fiend.

The newly-gated mezzoloth advances, unarmed, coolly surveying Jocyl and occasionally stealing glimpses of the battlefield. As the human's chiv strikes home, it closes in quickly, but stops by the other sleeping mezzoloth, roughly kicking it to wake it.

(You folks don't have to stop at initiative, go ahead and post actions.)

(RE Pascal: Hadrian and Nuuko didn't come to Elysium together. The dead Cipher is still an unknown.)

((Pascal's the dead Taker that Nuuko, Xianna and Vahn came across just after arriving in Elysium.))

Giving about as much damage as he took, Nuuko continues squaring off against the mezzoloth in front of him as John diverts his attention to the re-grounded nycaloth.

The Baatorian spell-slinger's grin broadens unsettlingly as his powerful stroke all but pens the mezzoloth into the dead book. Following the cue from the bebilith, Gl'Fnak also moves forward to engage the 'loth now attacking the Athasian elf.

[john]

John lashes another strike out at the Nycaloth, and will be most suprised as....

[Tllith]

Tllith continues futilely going after some convenient mezzoloth or other: the one fighting Abaia (#3?), or, failing that, the one fighting Nuuko (#?) or some other one fighting a character. Bard's kinda lost.

Any chance of a flanking modifier, since Tllith is going after the thing's knees, and it's probably paying more attention to the giant monster raining actual damage down upon it from above?
