Addison spies the small creature and quickly pulls some spell components out of a pouch. He begins casting Hold Monster
The Quickling struggles to open the door before the spell goes off, but doesn't make it. He feels the magical energy strike his body, sinking in and trying to immobilize his limbs. Fortunately, Quicklings are highly resistant to magic and the spell has no effect. The Quickling changes tactics and charges towards the mage, his sword zipping back and forth as he goes.
Addison's normally calm demeanor cracks a little as the Quickling attacks. His Cloak of Displacement and mulitple Stoneskins spells usually protect him from physical attacks for several rounds. However, the Quickling eliminates all of these defenses in his first flurry of attacks, leaving Addison more exposed and vulnerable than he is used to.
Adjusting to the speed of his foe, Addison casts Magic Missile, a quick spell that never misses and deals lots of damage. Numerous "darts" of magical energy appear in the air, and streak down to slam into the Quickling.
The force of the attacks takes the Quicklings breath away and momentarily stuns him. As he recovers, he sees the mage beginning to cast yet another spell. Moving too fast to be seen, he grabs his sword and rushes over to stab the mage through the foot.
Addison yells in pain, which breaks his concentration and causes his unfinished spell to fizzle. He begins to cast again, only to have the sword stabbed through his other foot.
"DAMN!" he yells as he jerks his foot up off the floor. Addison changes his stance, placing the more injured foot behind him and away from this speeding demon-faerie. He tries again, moving his hands around to begin another spell - then suddenly lashing straigt out with his front foot.
The ruse works and he kicks the Quickling under its' chin as it rushes in with it's sword raised yet again. The collision is increased by the little sprites momentum and he flies back into the wall, completely stunned from the impact.
Addison wastes no time in completing his spell this time, but it is not directed at the fallen Quickling. Instead, a magical aura surrounds his feet as the Spider-climbing spell takes effect. Addison then "walks" up the wall and onto the ceiling, hanging upside down in the middle of the room, but never taking his eyes off the deadly littly creature.
OOC>> OK, the Quickling has taken about 40-50hp of damage (your discretion on that). He shouldn't be able to take more than a couple more good shots, but I thought Greentunic might want to get in a shot or two.
