The Constable and crew get the drop on the party the second time around. Reactly preternaturally quick, he roars at the elf,”This time, pointy ears, I’ll not be calling off the dogs!” He grunts heavily and swings his Morningstar in a powerful overhand arc, which misses the elf and batters the barrel that was next to Zazz.

Not satisfied with a frontal assault, Alessin tries to maneuver into position behind the burly warrior in front of him. His balance is off, and he falters slighty, giving the warrior an opening with his blade, which he brings to bear on the elf with deadly precision. The blow cripples the elf and Alessin is barely able to remain standing.

Laughing maniacally, Hulbar spits out,” You die here today vermin!” He swings his flail underarm and narrowly misses the dazed elf.

Seeing how the ensuing melee is going to make using his area spells difficult, Ari, sets his sight on the constable and uses alacritous cogitation to prepare a magic missile spell, sending the magical bolt straight for the corrupt man. “Only an evil creature would be so negligent of his people and openly hostile to friendly outsiders. Thank you for clearing my conscience.”

Gideon is finally satisfied that this combat is finally getting off the ground – his bloodlust and desire to smash things cannot be restrained any longer. He sizes up the warrior who just put down the elf and decides he is a worthy adversary. “Let’s get it on!” He shouts as he swings his maul in an overhead arc – just barely missing the mans shoulder.

"I knew it," says the elf. "Never trust the law!” Avoiding the Constables Morningstar gives Zazz the opening he needed with his rapier – he thrusts at the mans chest, but the blade is turned slightly aside by his shield, scoring a light hit on the side of the Constable’s rib cage.

Stonefist thinks to himself," This man shown his corruption and deserves whatever the fates deal to him.” The dwarf moves to the corner of the table and drops off it then moves up so that the Constable is between him and the newcomer. Lashing out with his quarterstaff, the dwarf no longer holds himself to just knocking out the man, his blow connects solidly against the side of the Constable’s head, ringing his ear.


Seeing that the constable has made the wrong choice, there was nothing left for Roland to do than protect the innocent people that were fighting the constable and his two brutes.
"Oh... Blessed Pelor, give your blessings to those who are good hearted and follow the right path."


Condition Summary:

Gideon: 29/29 hp (3 non-lethal) 7 rounds remaining on rage
Zazz: 13/13 hp (3 non-lethal)
Constable Grover: 10 damage (moderately wounded)
Alessin: 0/12

Yellow burst is the area of effect of the Bless spell.

FYI:

Hulbar is dressed in banded mail and shield, and carries a flail.
Grover is dressed in banded mail and shield, and carries a Morningstar.
Donovan is dressed in half-plate and shield and carries a longsword.

Gideon Novak - Human Mercenary

Gideon, depending on the faster moving foes and friends in front of him takes a five foot step to flank if possible. "Hold still, and quit wriggling around". "You're only making this harder on yourself". He roars with a maniacal laugh, using the momentem of his last swing to attack again.

OOC: I'm colorblind, and for some reason having trouble picking out who is who on the tokens, so forgive me if I make a wrong move, and just move me on to one that makes more sense. I'm also perfectly fine with you making the rolls.

Seeing that the constable had made the wrong choice, nothing left for Roland to do then protect the innocent people that fight the constable and his two brutes.
Oh... Blessed Pelor, give your blessings to those who are good hearted and follow the right path.

Move to G3, Cast Bless (+1 on attack rolls and saves against fear)

Avaxasir of the elves

Stepping to the side to keep the constable between himself and the dwarf, Zazz presses the attack. In response to Grover's threat, he spits out his own. "I'll be feeding your bloody carcass to the dogs, you beslubbering ill-breeding wagtail!"



AC18, HP 13/13 (3 non-lethal)
5' step to A7 (assuming, of course, that the constable is still there. If Grover moves, Zazz will do everything he can to remain in a flanking position).

Attack +6 (+8 w/flank) or +7 (+9 flank) w/Gideon's bless, damage 1d6+1 (18-20) + possible 1d6 sneak attack

Stonefist steps whichever way to maintain the flanking on Grover before smashing his staff at the man again.

OOC: 5' step if needed to maintain flank. atk/dmg at Grover (1d20+5=18, 1d6+3=6)
If Flanking is achieved, add +2 to attack roll for a total of 20. Don't think the Bless will affect Stonefist this round as Roland goes after him in init.

Roland, Human Cleric of Pelor

After bringing his god's blessing upon all, Roland moves towards Donovan, raise his heavy mace and tries to bring down man.

ooc:
move to E4
attack +3 (bless included), dmg 1d8+1

Ari steps up to the edge of the table and carefully aims an arc towards the constable as he casts a jet of steam spell.

OOC: move to d3 and target the top left corner of A6 so as not to hit any allies. Reflex DC 15 for half.
Damage 5

The constable takes a step backwards, as he sees the tactics being employed by the demihumans,””Trying to fence me in, eh?” He grunts heavily and swings his Morningstar in a powerful overhand arc, which connects with the elf’s chest, a loud crunch can be heard as a rib or two snaps.

The crippled elf tries his best to get out of the fray, dodging several blows from the attackers surrounding him. He moves away from the burly warrior, but the flail swinging madman continues to take aim at him.

The burly warrior sizes up the barbarian before him, and strikes out with his longsword, catching the raging man with a wicked slash up the left side of his rib cage.

Laughing maniacally, Hulbar spits out,” You’re not getting away from me!” He swings his flail again and narrowly misses the dazed elf.

Ari steps up to the edge of the table and carefully aims an arc towards the constable as he casts a jet of steam spell. The jet hits the constable squarely in the shoulder.

Stepping to the side to keep the constable between himself and the dwarf, Zazz presses the attack. In response to Grover's threat, he spits out his own. "I'll be feeding your bloody carcass to the dogs, you beslubbering ill-breeding wagtail!"

Gideon, depending on the faster moving foes and friends in front of him takes a five foot step to flank if possible. "Hold still, and quit wriggling around". "You're only making this harder on yourself". He roars with a maniacal laugh, using the momentem of his last swing to attack again.

Stonefist steps closer to the depraved Constable, bring his quarterstaff over his shoulder with deadly accuracy – the blow catches the Constable unaware and creates a wicked crunch. The man looks dazed and on his last legs.

After bringing his god's blessing upon all, Roland moves towards Donovan, raises his heavy mace and strikes the man soundly, after an opening was created by the barbarian with the large maul. The man bellows in pain.

Gideon: 22/29 hp (3 non-lethal) 7 rounds remaining on rage
Zazz: 6/13 hp (3 non-lethal)
