The Cheese Stands Alone
Dunkel and Jonas both take aim at their tiny adversary, but he bats and weaves very effectively, and neither can hit him. However, Cruendithas' magically directed bolts of energy strike home, causing the homunculus to take notice of the gnome and glower menacingly. The scything blade doesn't steal his attention from the gnome, even through it scores a glancing hit that further weakens the group's enemy. Hoping to capitalize on the situation, Mystie brings her crossbow to her shoulder and shoots, but her arrow passes through the last of the fake images, destroying it but causing the target no harm.
Meanwhile, Hawk is left to face the chairs on her own. Slashing wildly at one, she connects solidly and causes it to splinter, leaving the remaining parts unable to continue their attack. However, just as the halfling braces for the attack of the other chair, the squaky voice of the homunculus can be heard,
"Chair... cover me! Move to the doorway!" And with that, the imp-like creature makes a bee-line for the door, screaming at you all the while,
"And to think we could have had tea! Instead you kick me out of my home? What kind of world is it we live in where a man can't...." You think there is more, but the tiny creature has since flowing through the open doorway (at maximum altitude of 10'), and turned right, heading out of sight and presumably up the stairs. Whatever rhetoric he has, it is beyond people's ability to hear, given the noise of a hectic battle.
The chair stands alone. It scuttles to the appointed location, braving the snapping jaws of Bubba, with no ill effect. Some distance behind it is its fleeing master.
[sblock=Combat Stuff]Rolling for Wahyu's spiritual weapon, hits the target (not an image), and does 5 points of damage.
Hawk hits, doing 20 points of damage to ChairC (15 after hardness).
ChairD moves, and Bubba's AOO on the chair misses. The chair is holding a reserved action.
The homunculus flies through the doorway which the group originally came from. He's moving VERY fast. Breaking LOS to Wahyu has a side effect of ending the spiritual weapon spell.

Note: Before anyone stresses out, let me assure you killing the homunculus is not necessary as part of the scenario. However, you are most welcome to try, of course--I frankly haven't given any thought about what your options over the next round or two are, I'll let you all worry about that.

EVERYONE IS UP!
