Knoepf surveys the battle field. "We need to take down that ogre!" He mumbles a prayer.
"Agghhh!" Knoepf states as he's destracted by the dragonborn next to him. Frustrated he yells "Hasifar, go help Artemus! I'll be there to aid you if either of you are in need."
As Knoepf lowers his guard, the Dragonborn swings at him. But fortunately for Knoepf, the Dragonborn misses.
Hasifar decides to take a hit for the team and go between the two groups, risking an attack from the dragonborn. Once positionned, an aura of flame gow around him and explode to engulf the dragonborn and the Ogre. After the conflagration, the flame aura seems to linger for a time.
As Hasifar lowers his guard, the Dragonborn strikes and hits his arm. Thinking he is safe as he moves away, the Dragonborn strikes and hits Hasifar a second time in the leg. Boy is this Dragonborn quick!
But, the fire is ineffective. All Hasifar manages to do is release an unexpected explosion of energy that forces nearly everyone away.
Artemus, stuck into the middle of the group, decide to stab the orc before moving out of the crowd and join Hasifar, and risk to get hit by his opponents.
Artemus easily slashes the Orc across the chest, then makes a dash for safety. But, the Orc is not so easily distracted. It responds with a booming swing of its greataxe, sending Artemus staggering back towards Hasifar. Not to be outdone, the Bugbear hits Artemus in the back hard as well.
Artemus manages a parting swipe on the Orc as he moves away.
With the dragonborn pushed to a more accesible location, Boruuk moves forward, swinging his axe in a wide sweep, catching both foes with the weapon. The weapon strikes deep into the dragonborn and the goliath brings it back, and slams it down again.
"FACE ME!" he roars
The second blow to the Dragonborn just barely makes it over its shield, slicing its throat and dropping it to the ground.
Tirial fights back against the effects of Hasifar's magic as she wishes to stay close to her allies.
Unfortunately, Hasifar's magic is just too strong.
She continues to focus on the ogre, her own desire for vengeance for his attack fueling her aim. Tirial lines up two shots in quick succession, the first well placed, but the second shot was dead on. The eladrin then moves closer to her allies.
Taking careful aim, the Gnoll Archer hits Tirial in the neck. Although it didn't seem possible, his toothy smile gets even larger than before.
Not being wounded and not having a ranged weapon, the Bugbear decides to attack Hasifer anyway. He moves in close and swings the morningstar in a large arc, but hits the ground. Hasifer's flames have done their job, burning the Bugbear and totally confusing him on where to attack.
The Hobgoblin says something to its nearby allies (perception check for Artemus to hear and understand from around the corner and through the noise of combat) in the gutteral language of Goblin.
It then moves next to Tirial but away from Boruuk, its staff raised and about to strike. But when it sees the Dragonborn on the ground, it apparently changes its mind and moves right next to Borruk as if to challenge him. A blast of force travels down the alleyway, catching the entire party except Tirial in its wake. It solidly hits Boruuk and Knoepf, but devastates Hasifar and knocks him unconscious. It also knocks Artemus unconcious with a glancing blast.
The Ogre retreats back the way he came, then spins around with a murderous rage, rushes Tirial and slams her heavily with his club.
Not wanting to get close to flames, the Orc pulls out a handaxe, launches it at Knoepf, misses, and then retreats slightly.
