Against the Storm Part II: Luskan

Elone readies her bow before anyone can act, and puts two arrows right through the spellcaster's breastplate (45dmg), ruining his spell. Howling in rage, his face changes into its vampiric form much like the first guard's did.

Alex jumps up onto the table and flips at one of the guards, who is being advanced on by Akharos. The guard sidesteps and Alex moves through to the wall. The guard in one fluid motion from that step spins around and drives his blade into Alex's back (25dmg).

Rana stretches out her hand and says to the gnoll "Stay, little dog" and he stops frozen in the middle of the doorway.

Before anyone else can act, the three Sharans break for the door, just ahead of you guys, and dive through. It shuts and locks behind them immediately, probably indicating that someone is on the other side.

I will assume that Ubaar will not waste his Surge now. Akharos dodges a blow from the bugbear and bring's his Falcion down onto its back, cleaving a huge gash in it. Ubaar, having jumped on the table for no reason, jumps on the bugbear's back, knocking him into the wall and producing a satisfying crunch. It bounces backwords towards Ubaar, and he wraps both hands around the bugbear's head and snaps its neck.

Rana moves to pummel the gnoll, throwing him to the ground and backhanding him accross the face repeatedy , saying "How do YOU like it? Huh? Huh? Oh, right you can't talk. Oh, well. <commences pummeling>"

Suddenly, Xbow bolts fly out from behind paintings on walls bordering T14, T15, and R17. Elone and Kelnar take minor hits (8dmg each). Rana takes two through the back from the wall right behind her (48dmg). She rolls off of the gnoll and tries to crawl under the table.

OOC: before I can post my actions, I need some questions addressed in the OOC thread.
Further, it seems like this raid has been expected, and we're being ambushed with the excessive defenses in this one room.
I'm leaning towards having Ubaar push for running away.
 


Elone mutters quietly to herself "Solonor's bones." She quickly casts Entropic Shield on herself, then makes a beeline for the door, hoping to take out any opposition on the other side (she opens the door, but doesn't enter it, shooting at anyone she can).
 


Emcat sees a guard walk in and tell the lead cleric:

"The intruders are strong. We have retreated behind the defenses between the meeting room and the outer sanctum, but they very well might not hold."

Cleric: "The ritual will go on. If they penetrate, we'll need all the help we can get. Contact the guards outside and ensure that the exits are sealed to the intruders but the worshippers can be escorted out safely. Do not interrupt me again unless you are forced to retreat to the inner sanctum."

Guard: "Yes, sir." (leaves)

Elone growls deep in her throat. "Thrice damned cowards." She spins, and sprints quickly out the door, seeking another entrance somewhere on this level (heading towards the door on the opposite side, with the brooch of hiding activated, attempting to move quickly and hide at the same time with her haste. If anyone spots her, she will out pace them if she can, or kill them if not.
