"Janiven, withdraw! We's needing you alive!"

Liath draws and fires once more. The arrow slams through the Hellknight's armor and into his chest. "Competing am I, though! Come get some!"

[sblock=OOC/Actions]Not sure what Janiven's class is, but if her BAB is at least +1 she should be able to draw/sheath/pick-up a weapon as part of a regular move action. If she does, Liath will move back with her. If she doesn't, Liath will stand her ground - either firing again or dropping her own bow and drawing her blade depending on what the Hellknight does.[/sblock]

Hellknight fight

Liath's arrow flies true, right into the center of the front hellknight's chest. With little ado, he clutches the arrow protruding from his chest, drops to his knees and then falls unconscious.

Trevor is next but it following Anundr.

Hellknight 1 lets another crossbow bolt loose in Liath's direction - hearing her taunt and seeing the Ranger drop his mate. Liath sees the glint of the bolt's tip and hears the pling of the bow as it is released and almost immediately she has a burning feeling in her neck. She falls.

Suzume is up.

Suzume easily scoops up Liath's small form and moves around the corner following the group. He whispers a brief prayer as he moves and a bit of divine energy flows into Liath.

OOC: Cast virtue to Liath granting one temporary hp for one minute.
 

Janiven

Janiven quickly follows the compassionate birdman up the hall and temporarily out of the way of fire.

The group hurries ahead up the hallway and it continues straight ahead with the sewage to your left as far as Anundr's light source will allow sight.

You can not hear either of the hellknights behind you but with the sound of your own heart and breath in your ears, you know this is probably drowning out their sounds and that there is little chance they will give up so easily.

[sblock=OOC] At this point you are out of combat. Trevor is at 0HP and Liath at -1. If no one steps in, Janiven will give them some healing potions but I want to give you guys a chance to roleplay it if you want. [/sblock]

Anundr will move ahead quickly, using his torch to light the way, and sparing a glance back every now and then to make sure the others are following.
