Ambassador Attack, Round 7

Their leader defeated, the assassin's burst into a furor. Their anger fuels their attacks even though they appear outmatched by the intervening heroes. The rear assassin lands another blow against the deva avenger. The assassin charged by Rohna and pinned in by Chael goes through a flurry of shape changes... Chael, the changeling, Alexia, even Rohna herself... the effect works and the assassin lands another blow to the goliath.

[sblock= Round Summary]
Chael misses 2 (due to my crappy roll). Sustain thorn wall.

Malehan hits changeling for 24, knocking her unconscious.

Venakhad hits assassin 2 for 15 total damage. Malehan gains 6 THP.

Venakhad shifts away from melee now that his companions are keeping the assassin hemmed in.

He raises his holy symbol and points, another blast of sacred flame rushing out and engulfing the changeling.

He speaks to each ambassador in turn, his telepathic voice soothing and sure.
"A little more patience Your Excellency, we'll be done with this threat in no time. I apologize for the need to keep you all here, but the keep is infiltrated by changelings and we don't know who to trust at the moment. I do trust this little inconvenience will be over soon."

Round 7, "Ambassador Building"
Rohna, Goliath Fighter/Warlord 8

Rohna doesn't seem to mind getting sliced and stabbed as she crossed the hall, and raises her hammer again. This time Kordestad bites deeply into the shoulder of Rohna's would-be assassin, causing a fountain of blood to squirt into the air over the fighter for a moment before the goliath absorbs the life from the very blood of her foe. Rohna makes a face like she just ate a bug. "Why does your life force taste like dead flowers? Is it because you have finally accepted your death?" The rageblood fighter smiles, and her normally white teeth are coated red with the blood of her enemy... or maybe its just her own.
