OOC: I think it would be cool if everyone had a default action in combat. DM_Matt is doing a great job of keeping things moving. My default is my last posted action. Hopefully that will help us help you keep it going.

Rana continues to wrestle with the sniper, and gets a free ahnd for a moment to grab a stake from the inside of her jacket (Quick Draw). after some more struggling she pins him (hasted action), and stakes him (full-round special CDG).
The mage blasts three bursts of dark energy from his hand , striking and wounding Ubaar as he charges the BB (12 dmg).
You guys lose track of Calain.
Alex (standing order as Elric finishes up overworkiful semester/deal with broken computer = use Ubaar or Akharos for flanking), switches to helping Akharos against the Orc.
The Orc looks to the two of them. "Lets get this done, you foul draconic abomination." Akharos and the Orc almost simultaneously cut at each other, Akharos defending against the orcs lateral swing with a vertical block, then sliding his blade off and slashing into the Orc's chest. He roads in pain and the two slash at eachother again, their blades locking again. they stare into each others eyes and both slash at once, knocking eathother back and leaving both with huge cuts on their chests.
Alex tries to stab the orc from behind, but the Orc nimbly spins behind Alex, causing Alex to miss and interposing Alex between himself Akharos. The orc continues to pivot, batting away Alex's second attack, spinning around a full turn, then slashing into Akharos gut. Akharos crumbles to the ground (Akh-->-10 ...wont die till -18). Alex finds himself facing the Orc alone.
Meanwhile, the cowering civilianish bads all run for the door on the wall to the left.
Elone is still quite groggy and doesn't recall the fight up until now, but she manages to figure out the general situation and who the bad guys are. She grabs onto Kelnar to pull herself up and pulls out her bow to act next round.
Kelnar( casting spells previously mentioned but never cast, as per instructions), disappears from view (confusing Elone, who is still leaning on him sucessfuly).
The Orc steps towards Alex. Alex knows hat all he can do is dodge. The orc is so strong and his sword so sharp and heavy that he has no hope of parrying it. He tenses and prepares to jump.
Kelnar concentrates on the Orc.
The Orc fakes a low slash causing Alex to jump, then the orc steps forward to thrust his blade through Alex's stomach in midair. The Orc freezes midswing (Hold Person).
Meanwhile, Ubaar reaches the big bad, who waits braced in preparation. He flexes his muscles repeatedly, and they grow with each flex, so that by the time Ubaar reaches him he is clearly bigger and stronger. Ubaar, altohugh he misses with his tail swipe on the way in, flying tackles him (46dmg, but not a damage type that can kill him) and pins him to the ground anyway. The mighty vampire chuckles "feistly little orc, aint ya," and pushes Ubaar a few feet into the air, escapes fro munderneath him, and grabs him on the way down. The two wrestle for a short time inconclusively, but the BB then turns Ubaar overwith a mighty push and pins him.
Emcat rushes towards Akharos and Regen Serious Wounds's Akharos.
The previously-cornered vampire moves towards a vulnerable Alex. He expertly bashes Alex's rapier up and to the rightwith a swing of the hook end of his polarm, thenturns it rapidly and drives the blade into Alex's stomach. He pulls itout as Alex backs upand he holds it upwards, using the pole to deflect Alex's blade rightward again, then twirling the weapon so that theblade strikes Alex under the chin and cuts his neck open (34hp -44 dmg = -10, would die at -12). He falls to the ground in a pool of blood.

Elone sees her companions fall, and considers quickly. She runs over to Alex, and places her hand on his chest, murmuring a quick prayer to Solonor as she does so, being sure to stay out of melee range (I think have another 3rd level to drop for a CSW). She then takes a single shot at the orc that dropped Akh.

Ubaar, in for a serious f-ing fight, pulls out all the stops and clangs his Gauntlets of Rage, gaining the Strength and Stamina of the Thunderbeast to wrestle with the avatar of evil in the temple.
Gritting thru the pain the BB evil is laying on him, Ubaar grins in righteous satisfaction, in the practice of his and his diety's favorite avocation.

Kelnar vlasts the mage with a volley of Magic Missiles. The mage thinks better of continuing to fight and makes a run for the opposite door.
Rana and Cat!Emcat face down the Orc and the Vampire as Elone moves in to bed over Alex and heal him. After much prowling an careful footwork on both sides, Elone reaches forward to heal, bends over Alex, and channels energy into him. (Alex hp +27, hp-->17). The Vampire immediately steps forward and kicks her in the face. The force of the blow pushes her to her feet, and she tries to steady herself, but she passes out and falls streight backwards (12dmg, hp -->-1. Sorry dead_radish RE Elone being the vamp punching bag as of late).
Rana moves in to strike the badly wounded orc. She lunges with one fist, but is blocked by the falcion, sending sparks of electricity into the air. The orc snarls cruelly as he flicks his wrist and cuts deeply into Ranas arm. She ignores the pain, because she is already moving as she has practiced countless time before. She steps in, already close, and lunges with the other fist. She lets out her breath in a strange combination martial arts battle grunt and scream of pain over her other arm. Her fist makes a bloody hole in the orc's armor and electricity shoots through him and sends him flying against the wall.
The vamp tries to strike Rana, taking advantage of the fact that one arm is out of the fight, but she dodges the blow. As he moves to strike again, Emcat bats it away with his paw, then jumps at the vampire, biting his enormous tusks/teeth/fangs into the vampire's neck, but not quite causing its head to pop off.
Ubaar clinks his gauntlets together and screams in rage as he is unable to resist as the mighty vampire bites into his neck and drains blood (+4 con from rage, -6 con from drain....total -2 Con/9hp less). Ubaar keeos struggling and by the end of the round manages to shovethe monster up and off of his neck (they are now grappling, but no pin)
