Varak, draws upon some rage and takes his blade and slashes at hobgoblin as the injured drake distracts him. The sword slashes into the glaive wielder's side, on the shadow, injuring him greatly.   Harressh hustles forward, tail held high, skidding to a stop on the strange reddish stone.  He rears back and opens his jaws.  Instead of a blast of cold, a thundering roar bursts from mouth.  The blast of sound visibly buffets and batters the glaive-wielding hobgoblinWhite Eye hisses and crouches low, a natural defensive crouch. Meanwhile, the cut on Haltor's side bleeds open...Even as Vistrathis was dragged across the cavern floor, shards of stone embedding themselves in his back, the gith planned his revenge against the hobgoblin.  Suddenly his foe is moved away from him, and his moment to strike becomes clear.  Rolling to his feet, Vistrathis ignores the slicing jabs of the hobgoblin's glaive, even after receiving a cut under his left eye, and recites the words of power taught to him by his mentors in the Talenta Plains.  Dashing into the weapons reach, the swordmage completes the spell and sends four feet of steel towards his enemy.  The gith grins as the crystal sphere within his blade flashes, cascading energy over his form.  Should the enemy choose to attack, he'll pay for it.After Vistrathis' attack, the glaive wielder quickly moves out of range and reaches into its belt, hurling a dart at the gith.[sblock=OOC]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2473112/" target="_blank">vs ac;dgm (1d20+11=19, 1d6+4=9)</a> miss, but it takes 5 dmg as a result[/sblock]Alex moves up and hurls more phantom arrows at the hobgoblin with the scimitars and this time the hobgoblin tries to get out of the way of them, moving towards the glaive wielder. Alex then begins whispering and thee glaive wielder looks frightened.

The scimitar-wielder moves towards Harresh, blocking strikes from White-Eye and the dragonborn. He brings his blade down on Harresh, but the lingering whispers from Alex prevent his blade from finding its mark.[sblock=Haltor/Vist/Varak] aura 2; whenever you're in the aura, if you move you take 5 damage.
