If  someone can help me out, great, otherwise I'll rule that it's a minor  action to stand from a chair. So Mythra didn't need to Fey Step.  Ire Strike - This only works on adjacent allies. In the interests of  speed I've moved Serris adjacent to Baracus.[/sblock]  Baracus saw the way things were shaking down and knew that there was  only one way to deal with this kind of creature. He'd seen it too often  in Lhazaar Principalities, this ogre was just a bully and needed to be  shown who was boss. Without a word, Baracus sucker punches the larger  creature, the force of the blow and suddenness of the attack sending the  ogre to the bar floor. With the monster down, Baracus tries to jump  onto it, hoping to pin it to the floor with his tremendous strength."I got this one, you guys make sure no suckas try  and jump me from behind" he grunts.    "Give him another!" Says Serris,  inspiration flowing to Baracus.    At Serris' words, Baracus laughs and with his free left hand punches  the ogre in the kidneys.   Seeing the Ogre taken care of, Mythra stands and moves to a nearby  space. He than summon a spray of color from his finguretips hitting the  Ogre's minions, as well as any tavern patrons caught in the blast. Most  are sub-Eladrin species after all.He does not use full power however, someone in the party might complain  at killing "innocent people".     Up to this point, the tavern has been in stunned silence, patrons  gaping open-mouthed as Baracus drops the Ogre to the floor with a single  punch and shows every sign of overpowering him entirely. With Mythra's  indiscriminate psychedelic onslaught, though, all hell breaks loose.  Half-blinded and confused, patrons stumble into each other, shouting and  lashing out blindly. The crash of broken glass rings out over the din,  and in moments a full-scale brawl is in progress as the tavern's  customers pick up bottles, mugs, chairs, tables, or whatever other  weapons might be to hand and lay into each other with reckless abandon.  Most of the room becomes a churning mass of bloody, flailing lowlives.     Across the room, the harpy is visible swiftly hopping up onto a table,  perched above the melee for the timebeing. From there she begins to  sing in an ululating wail. The thin unearthly sound piercing easily  through the racket of combat and merging with the insane drumbeats to  create a truly disturbing experience. The song is charged with a strange  compulsion, and of our heroes only Mythra is able to shake off its  bewitching power. All the others are drawn as if sleepwalking towards  the harpy, most of them blundering obliviously into the midst of the  fray.     As Baracus wanders off in a daze, the ogre finds himself free to stand  up, and does so with an incoherent roar of rage. "You!  You PAY for that, you hear? NOBODY is walk away from hitting me.  NOBODY!"   His sights remain set on Baracus, but finding himself temporarily out  of reach he satisfies his immediate desire for carnage by aiming an  arcing smash of his weighty club at Orsik, who is conveniently nearby.  The colossal hunk of wood crashes squarely into Orsik's midriff with the  power of a charging bull, but to the ogre's evident dismay the  Runepriest weathers the blow and stays on his feet.    Meanwhile, the ogre's four human companions slip through the chaotic  melee with practised skill to execute flanking assaults on Baracus and  kal'Tarron. Baracus is able to avoid their attacks without too much  trouble, but kal'Tarron takes a glancing mace blow from a lanky girl  with dirty blond hair. She gives a little shout of triumph and spits at  his feet as he reels, dazed from the attack.   [sblock=OOC - Enemy Actions]The Harpy starts its turn in a square with  brawling patrons and takes <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591660/" target="_blank">1d6+4=8</a>  damage shifts one square north and uses Alluring Song as a standard  action, catching all the players within its burst.    Mythra - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591632/" target="_blank">1d20=2</a>+? = miss vs Will Baracus - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591640/" target="_blank">1d20=15</a>+? = hit vs Will Grys - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591640/" target="_blank">1d20=18</a>+? = hit vs Will kal'Tarron - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591640/" target="_blank">1d20=15</a>+?=hit vs Will Orsik - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591640/" target="_blank">1d20=13</a>+?=hit vs Will Serris - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591640/" target="_blank">1d20=15</a>+?=hit vs Will   Baracus, Grys, kal'Tarron, Orsik and Serris are all pulled 3 squares  towards the Harpy and immobilized (save ends). This breaks Baracus's  grab on the Ogre.      The Ogre stands from prone and attacks the closest target, Orsik, with  its Angry Smash. It gets to roll its attack twice and take the better  result. <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2591654/" target="_blank">1d20=13</a>+?=hit vs AC (inluding -2 from Baracus's  mark).
