(OOC All I have gotten in Pean's reply. I have not gotten the original e-mail)
Shalandra ready's her broadsword ready to kill these things. She is looking extrememly worried due to the fact we are surrounded, and that Teomorya could be hurt.
{She will use melee weapons with Karma when one is close and use Avoid Blow when one strikes at her}

Thankfully you see the swarm cease and the tally seems to be about fifty to sixty of the creatures, though they advance relentlessly and swiftly toward you. Still three quarters of a mile or more from you they are moving quicker than any of you could maintain without a mount and you know they have you trapped. Pean continues to cast spells in the area, having you all move onto the door. You have heard little of Temorya since he slipped through the hole, except for a slight crash and a muffled yelp soon after he disappeared.
OOC: that can't be good..
The creatures are distant and you have plenty of time to prepare for the onslaught. You realise that as a group you are very poorly equipped for long range combat. Elklisee being the only one who draws a ranged weapon in the form of a crossbow when she realises that there is some time to go before they arrive.
OOC: and theres never a handy rocket launcher when you need one.. ;-)
Again a bolt and a strike on the creature but it fails to fall. The creatures are now just a little over 50 yards away when you hear Pean let loose a sigh of relief at the completion of his last circle. Elklisee looses another bolt and you all breathe a sigh of relief as it actually fells the creature! Elklisee drops her crossbow and reaches for her throwing daggers as the creatures close further. Pean is weaving magical energies to yet another matrix as the creatures close. Just before they swamp you you look in amazement as the first few strike the circle that Pean has put in place. With a dazzling light the creatures are thrown backward with a flash of energy. Elklisee moves back as she tosses her daggers forward.
OOC: Oh yeah! who'se your daddy? Who'se your daddy? :-)
6 daggers shoot forward, five finding their mark. The first four fell a creature that was aimed for the Ork and had made its way through most of the circles unharmed whilst the fifth shoots out and strikes a new target once the first falls at her feet.
Pean lashes his arm back and whips it forward toward one of the closer creatures. A spear of energy leaps from his hand, quite insubstantial to look at, however, as it strikes the creature it picks it up and throws it back a good four yards where it scrabbles around, trying to get back on its feet.
<Well, you are about to be overwhelmed....>
<you think? ;-)>
<Battle strategies please.>
Pean will continue casting Astral Spear, will keep an eye out for Temorya, and go as much ducking and dodging as possible to avoid the things.
"I do not have many more tricks up my sleeve, I'm afraid!"
He calls out, his voice shaking somewhat, making him hard to hear over the rumble of the things..
"I can keep up the astral spears, but it is down to our wits and steel now. Lets give Temorya a little more time before trying to prise open the doors. May Thystonius guide your arms!!"
