OOC: I, too, am waiting to see what those who go before Larian do. In all likelihood, it's the same extended Haste, but it depends on positioning, etc.

Tyrla fought down a grimace of distaste- she hated to get this close to such burly foes. But the confines of the place left little choice- if she wanted to help, she had to risk herself, at least for a moment. Arcane energies crackled around her hand, then leapt forth towards the closest ogre...

OOC: From the top of the southern staircase, Tyrla will attempt to defensively invoke an eldritch blast at the closest ogre; Concentration +12 vs. DC 16, if it works then ranged touch +10, 4d6+1 damage point blank. After that, she will move back down the stairs (just 5 feet, and out of range, but I don't think she can use a 5-foot step on stairs). She just doesn't want to be on the front line.

Avril casts cats grace on herself from the safety of the staircase.

Tyrla tries to focus on her eldritch blast, managing to blast the forward ogre for 17 points of damage. She then retreats down the steps, provoking an attack from the ogre as she moves out. The creatures swing lands a solid hit for 14 points of damage.

Warrens up.

[sblock=ooc] I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that a character or creature who had not yet acted in a combat couldn't perform an attack of opportunity. [/sblock]

You're right. That's how Pender was able to close to melee afterall (otherwise he would have been the one to take the aoo). So Tyrla is not hit by the ogre.

Warren the halfling, AC 25, HP 37/44

After Pender moves in and apparently makes contact with an enemy inside, Warren darts in behind Pender from atop the stairs, moving beside him to strike at the nearest foe, planting his feet firmly to draw upon the solidity of stone as Orlane taught him. When he sees the ogre, Warren tries to stab at the ogre's right kidney, but isn't sure his height and his blade's reach will suffice to reach that far....

Once he gets there and withdraws his short sword, Warren motions with his free hand to twist the shadows around in a swirl of phantom blades, threatening the ogre.

"Rush 'im now!" the halfling says, casting a worried glance into the room to see what other dangers are just waiting to mash him up and eat some halfling stew.

ooc: Island of Blades makes the ogre flanked by everyone in melee with it. Warren moves to the space just south of Pender, but remember that allies can pass through each others' spaces, so he isn't in the way.
[sblock=OOC]Move 20 feet to get as close to the ogres as he can, then initiate Stone Bones, attacking the ogre Pender has injured. Sneak Attack with Assassin's Stance active. Then using his swift action to change stances into Island of Blades.

Got a 26 on the attack roll, for a total of 21 damage (9 base, 12 sneak).

Assuming his attack hits, Warren gains Damage Reduction 5/Adamantine for 1 round.

Attack vs. first ogre, base damage and sneak attack damage (1d20+11=26, 1d4+5=9, 3d6=12) [/sblock]

Warren charges into the room and lands a third and final blow on the ogre in the hallway.

Avril - Human Druid (Crocodile) - AC 21 - hp 42/49 - Spot +13 - Listen +13

Avril heard the crunching blows of Warren and Pender bringing the large ogre down. She winced as she felt a tinge of concern about her friends suffering similar blows like that in relatilation. Slithering her crocodile form slowly up the stairs, she started the long incantation she needed, calling on the spirits of the air and the wind to aid her. Static electricity started to build up around her as her crocodile form managed to weave the nature magic into a spell that would hopefully assist them against these ogres.

For Avril, do you want to change the action I posted for you on this round, or is that action for next round?

Larian moves up behind Warren and casts his spell, causing the halfling to fade from view.

Two of the ogres squeeze into the hallway, crowding each other but giving enough room to still attack Pender. One hits the warrior for 13 points of damage with its greatclub, even with the penalties from having to squeeze into the hallway. They seem completely unaware that Warren is missing.

Everyone can feel the loud heavy footsteps of something coming up the stairs from the room where the Ogres are.

Siobhan is next.
