A flurry of motion erupts as the party responds to the Captain's threat. Before even Doral reacts, Morika flies into a rage; teeth bared to the guard under pretense are again exposed, this time with real malice behind them. Pulling her scythe free of her pack, she swings it in a silvery arc, striking sparks off the Captain's armor.
As Morika charges in, Glasia , wrenching her jaw away from the Captain's grasp, contorts in scared fear. "No you won't!" she cries, pointing her casting hand at him. Ar'taei! In--ahh!". A fist strikes her nose with a wet thunk, bloodying it and ruining the young wizard's incantation. She stumbles away towards the corner of the room, a hand raise to her wounded face. Still smirking, Mirren draws his sword--a thin, basket-hilted rapier--with a flourish and counters Morika's attack with a high thrust. The shifter ducks left, but her shoulder is still grazed by the keen blade.
Partash, condemnation barely out of his mouth, raises his arms, calling upon his divine knowledge to place a curse on the head of the guards. A moment later, his mace is in his hands, and he braces himself for a fight. Beside him, Doral incapacitates three of the guards; those behind the table slump to floor, comatose. His comment to the bugbear has its desired effect, as well; a determined look on his face, Thesh seizes his blade and, bounding to the rear of the group, assaults the inner door guard. "Stop, you stupid, smelly fur--ugh," the man yells to no avail as the bugbear attacks. Despite the man's attempt to parry the blow, his former ally strikes him with a powerful stab; the sword sinks deep into the man's chest, emerging with a deep red stain.
The remaining guards react swiftly. The man by the table picks up a halberd from the table and moves in to support his commander. He tries to bury it in the raging shifter's side, but misses. The follow-through of its butt end knocks her side, though, leaving what will likely become a pretty bruise the next morning. The other guard, standing near the cell doors, grabs a spear off a rack on the wall and hurls it towards the melee. It barely misses Doral, hits the far wall, and clatters to the ground. Below the action, Vhir unleashes his Khyber-given abilities, and bats--hundreds and hundreds of bats-suddenly materialize, swarming around the already-fallen guards.
