Dorn doesn't know whether to cheer out loud or faint at the sight of what his power has done. He has never pushed his power this far, and he knows now that he has something even more powerful inside him than his village elders ever feared.

The sound of steel on steel draws Dorn back into the present. Focusing on the nearest enemy, he sends psychic energy screaming from his mind. (OOC: Chaos Bolt hits will 12 for 16 psychic damage. If that is a hit, Dorn gets a free 2nd attack against the other enemy (DM roll as appropriate +4 vs wll; 1d6+4 psychic damage))

His ally flanked by the ninja twins, Skalisss calls out a challenge to one of his attackers: "Face me or feel the wrath of Netari!", but the ninja sidesteps the wild strike, although Ingot is still feeling better with Netari's blessing.

Ingot is battered by the ninja twins' blows but remains standing, leaking small quantities of oil. As the dragonborn's healing blessing flows into it, the leaks cease. It swings its sword at Garcia once more, then steps back against the warehouse wall. His blow connects with Garcia, the ninja's wounds are beginning to show.

"Thank you, Skalisss. Together we can prevail!"
Crag stomps his way out of the alleyway, trying to finally see what is happening to his friends. When he sees Garcia and Sakazaki double-team his friend, it enrages him and he charges Sakazaki, bringing his longsword down in an overhand chop. The warforged finds only air as the ninja sees him coming and nimbly shifts out of the way.

"I am sorry for the delay friends, but I had a fire elemental to deal with. Thankfully Dorn was able to eliminate that other mage so that I could come and help you. How does this group fare?"

Hadrak turns the corner, cask held high and summons he might of Hefaystos. It fizzles.

The sound of steel on steel draws Dorn back into the present. Focusing on the nearest enemy, he sends psychic energy screaming from his mind. Sakazaki turns to the halfork and shakes his head, ignoring the assault.

The ninjas continue to focus on Ingot, hoping to take him down, but this time with only 1 direction to guard the warforged blocks Garcia's attack and Sakazaki almost falls prone with the warforged's grease creating a slippery patch.

[SBLOCK=OOC]

Sakazaki takes 7 radiant damage from Divine Challenge for attacking anyone but Skalisss.

[/SBLOCK]

Skalisss moves back next to his ally the warforged, continues to press the ninja, and says a prayer to Netari to heal the damaged living-construct.

"Keep it up and ssstick together, now with the othersss here our victory is assssured".

Move Action: Shift to J10.

Standard Action: Bolstering Strike vs Sakazaki, vs AC, attk and dmg (1d20+8=14, 1d8+4=12)
That will miss (Wish he could get to Garcia for the +4 bonus to hit).

This time the radiant bolt strikes true and burns Sakazaki, blessing Ingot with divine will.

[sblock=OOC edit]Shoot, I hadn't seen Mal's post before I did mine... I would have gladly taken that +2 and attacked Sakazaki instead of Garcia if I had. Is it too late to change?[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I would really love to have the defenders in front of Ingot, but no way to back up without taking AoO's... I think I'll go ahead and suck it up, at least Sasaki is still marked, right? And Ingot can get a couple of temp HP from warforged resolve...[/sblock]
The rune on Ingots forehead grows brightly for a moment as the warforged draws on its inner reserves of endurance. Once more it swings its fullblade down in arc aimed at Garcia. OOC: taunting contingent on attack hitting. Ingot points at the bleeding ninja. "If you used proper weapons and armor, you might have a chance."

The warforged moves awkwardly onto the debris pile of the collapsed warehouse, gesturing to Crag behind it. "Thanks for the assist, friend! Vulkar will guide your blow!" OOC: literally if Righteous Brand hit, metaphorically if it didn't.
[sblock=Actions]
Minor: Use Warforged Resolve; gain 3 temp HP.
Standard: Righteous Brand vs Garcia (1d20+7=18, 1d12+4=11) hits AC 18... If a hit, +4 power bonus to melee attack rolls TENT for Crag.
Move: walk to K10. This draws AoO's from both ninjas. [/sblock]

Crag sees the ninja step back out of reach of his charge at the last second, attacking Ingot and shouts at him.

"Oh no you don't! Get over here! I'm not done with you yet!"

Crag stabs forward with his blade and jerks backwards, calling to the earth and rocky debris behind Sakazaki and willing it to roll in a great wave towards him.

"Terra! Bring my foe to my side so that I might show him the error of his ways!"

The ground rumbles and shifts, rising in a wave that pushes towards Sakazaki. (ooc: the following is IF he get's to use Warden's Grasp or if Thorn Strike hits [see Actions block]) Sakazaki is pushed and battered towards Crag, his sword already in motion and heading for the ninja's chest in a quick thrust. Another thin wall of debris and rock rises up, forcing the ninja to focus on him rather than his friends.

[sblock=Actions]
IF Sakazaki is marked by Crag (I couldn't tell from your post if I had the chance to mark him or not) Immediate Reaction: Warden's Grasp (Slides Sakazaki to K10; Sak. is SLOWED and cannot shift until the end of his turn).

IF Crag could not use Warden's Grasp:
- Standard: Thorn Strike (pulls Sakazaki to K10 if it hits)
- Free Action: Mark all enemies within 1 square of him.

IF Crag was able to use Warden's Grasp:
- Standard: Strength of Stone (granting Crag 5 temp HP if it hits)
- Free Action: Mark all enemies within 1 square of him.

In either case the attack rolls and damage are exactly the same: 1d20+7+4=23, 1d8+4=12. If Ingot's attack did not hit (and did not grant me +4 to my attack roll) then it hits AC 19 for 12 damage.

With the battle nearly (hopefully?) in its ending stages, Dorn maneuvers into position (OOC: Not sure where Sakazaki wound up, but Dorn will move as many squares north as necessary to make sure Sakazaki does not have cover. If this is not possible, Dorn will stay where he is).

Eager to wow his comrades, Dorn marshalls all of his power into a blast of pure mental death and blasts it at Sakazaki (OOC: Chaos bolt hits Sakazaki Will 23 for 17 damage)

"DODGE THAT" he thunders.

Skalisss' divine vengeance burns Sakazaki, drawing some very bloody wounds on him.

Skalisss moves back next to his ally the warforged, continues to press the ninja, and says a prayer to Netari to heal the damaged living-construct.

"Keep it up and ssstick together, now with the othersss here our victory is assssured". The ninja is able to avoid the strike.

The rune on Ingots forehead grows brightly for a moment as the warforged draws on its inner reserves of endurance. Once more it swings its fullblade down in arc aimed at Sakazaki. Ingot points at the bleeding ninja. "If you used proper weapons and armor, you might have a chance." after his heavy weapon draws another deep wound in him.

The warforged moves awkwardly onto the debris pile of the collapsed warehouse, gesturing to Crag behind it. "Thanks for the assist, friend! Vulkar will guide your blow!"

Crag sees the ninja step back out of reach of his charge at the last second, attacking Ingot and shouts at him.

"Oh no you don't! Get over here! I'm not done with you yet!"

Crag stabs forward with his blade and jerks backwards, calling to the earth and rocky debris behind Sakazaki and willing it to roll in a great wave towards him.

"Terra! Bring my foe to my side so that I might show him the error of his ways!"

The ground rumbles and shifts, rising in a wave that pushes towards Sakazaki, who finds the end of Crag's blade waiting for him. The ninja is impaled on the sword and stares down at his chest incredulously as he stares at Garcia, saying "Sorry 'bro, take care of them will ya?"

-''Oh Great Forger, I am seeking to assist another of your servant. Surely you will not let us both down at the same time, right?'' Mutters Hadrak.

This time the radiant bolt strikes true and burns Garcia, blessing Ingot with divine will.

With the battle nearly in its ending stages, Dorn maneuvers into position

Eager to wow his comrades, Dorn marshalls all of his power into a blast of pure mental death and blasts it at Garcia. The ninja was staring at the scorch mark in his chest from Hadrak's blow, then looks up at the half-orc.

"DODGE THAT" he thunders, which is only met with silence from the ninja as he slumps to the ground, unmoving.

[sblock=OOC]
Battle won! Great job!
