Combat, round 12
The last of the gnolls chops furiously at Dara, but the warrior woman nimbly avoids the blow.
Otto pulls up short, seeing the situation ahead now well in hand.
To Two Axe Verdis says, "Nice work. Will you watch our backs while I move to support the rest?" Not waiting for an answer, the warlock moves toward the bulk of the party, firing a blast of energy between his friends and toward the remaining foes. Unfortunately, the body of Marco inteferes with Verdis line of sight, and the blast misses.
The bugbear steps to the side, faster than Ragnok can follow, and delivers a powerful blow of its axe. The blade cuts deep into Ragnok's neck, and the dwarf grasps at his neck and falls to the ground, blood spurting from his severed jugular.
Coraine makes his way through his allies and steps into the fallen Ragnok's place. As if the fallen dwarf's vengeful spirit was guiding his axe, Coraine strikes the bugbear between the eyes, the blade sinking deep into the beast's skull.
Two axe doesn't much care for guarding the rear and begins to move after the others, looking for a chance to get back into the heat of battle.
[sblock=Manzanita]
Two Axe can hear the sounds of more troops coming from the hallway to the north through which you entered this chamber. They still sound distant, but they are coming closer.

Dara continues to lash out with wild and furious attacks, and her bloody falchion drops the last of the gnolls to the ground.
Combat is concluded.

In one continuous motion, Coraine wrenches his battleaxe from the bugbear's split skull, then kneels, lays it on the floor and channels the healing energy of his god into the fallen dwarf. Then, looking over his shoulder, he says, "Marco - here, quickly!"
When the healer comes over he says, "Help him, please - he's a stupid, stubborn dwarf but he's a faithful companion."
[sblock=OOC]Lay on Hands for 1 point of healing.[/sblock]

"No, we're stretched too thin. We've no appreciable healing, two of us are wounded and Ragnok is near death."Manzanita said:
"Marco, can treat him with your wand? Two Axe, you pick him up and carry him. We need to fall back to the stairs. Dara, you and I will bring up the rear."
"Two Axe, when he starts to grumble, put him down. Once he can talk, he can walk. Then you can be ready to replace one of us, if we're badly wounded."
"OK, everybody, let's go."
[sblock=OOC]Of course, strictly it's not true that once Ragnok can talk, he can walk. When he's staggered (0 hp) he still won't be able to make a full move - but the line was too good to discard!

Coraine turns to Two Axe.
"How long until they get here?"
"By all means, let's claim the spoils of war - but let's not die for the sake of a few trinkets. Grab what you can! We'll pick up the rest when we come back again."
Then, moving over to Dara but giving her space - he doesn't want to provoke an attack from the battle-enraged warrior - he says, "Dara. Dara. Come on - we're moving out. You and I will protect the others as we fall back. Let's go - they'll be throwing themselves on our blades any moment now."
