Sinspawn Ambush - Middle of round 1

Sasha manages to roll away from the sinspawn she is entangled with and get to her feet, rapier drawn. The creature springs up and advances on her menacingly. On the platform above, the second spawn rushes up the rest of the stairs and takes a swipe at Gerund with its clawed hand, but the paladin raises his shield to deflect the blow.

Poot weaves intricate patterns with his hands and shouts out in a captivating voice, "Beasties...listen to my voice...Go...Away..." His magic does the trick, and the spawn attacking Gerund turns to study the halfling, slack jawed. It does not respond to Poot's command to leave however. Perhaps it doesn't understand the language.

The other spawn circling Sasha below appears unaffected by the enchantment. Yola grunts at poot, "Perhaps something a little more poetic next time," and leaps off the walkway to aid Sasha. The long drop is bone jarring but Yola manages to stay on her feet. She round the corner of the platform and stabs at the spawn with her ranseur, but it twists out of the way.

Seeing that the creature across from her was no threat, Seoni sent her last barrage of magic missiles at the spawn threatening Sasha. The two bolts of force arced down and struck the creature in the side.

Gerund also, backed away from the entranced creauture in front of him, turning to face the creature fighting Sasha. Bounding halfway down the stairs, he thrust down and drew a deep gash across the thing's shoulder.

Everyone can start posting actions for round two.

Bear in mind that Sinspawn 2 is fascinated, and will continue to stare dumbly at Poot for another 4 rounds unless someone threatens it.

Sasha seeing Yola near her fights defensively fending of the random swipes of the Sinspawn as she retreats toward her barbarian ally.

(Hopefully Sasha can regroup with Yola. Once there the SS will be distracted allowing Sasha to do a flanking attack or something sneaky that gives her bounses)

Seoni uses her Magic Missile to attack the SinSpawn threatening Sasha.
