As the music flows into him, the battle seems to slow down before Kines eyes, and he slides forward on the balls of his feet, allowing the rythmn of the fight to guide his actions. He sees an opening and moves in to attack. He easily tumbles past his foe, but the movement puts his own aim off, and the elven blade swishes past the guard's head.
Again feeling the cleansing warmth, Ragnok says
"Be yer god blessed boy" and almost casually delivers another hack... seeing if now he can manage another "skillful parry". The guard, though, now facing multiple opponents, doesn’t even see the strike coming at him, and goes down beneath Ragnok’s axe.
Seeing his opponent fall to Ragnok, Coraine moves up alongside Dara, and swings again. The man sees the attack coming, though, and turns the paladin’s axe with his blade.
Raising her falchion once more, Dara tries to do better this time, and does. While the guard parries Coraine’s strike, Dara slashes her falchion past his guard, opening a ragged wound in the man’s side.
Otto, seeing his target dropped, simply moves forward, ready to help where he may.
Snorting at his missed shot Verdis tries again, moving down the hall as he blasts away at the only visible foe.
"That first one was just a ranging shot," he mumbles, but his second blast misses as well, as the warlock has to take extra care not to hit one of his companions.
The guard strikes back at Coraine, but the deep wound in his side is obviously affecting his concentration, as his blade doesn’t even come close to injuring the paladin.
Jorb continues to guard the party’s rear.
Lucius, anxious to finally strike at a foe, rushes forward past him companions, trying to get into a position to finally fight a foe. As he moves near the guard, the man takes a swipe at him with his blade, but Lucius easily avoids the hasty attack.
From around the corner comes cries of alarm and shouts to "Slay the infidels" and "Protect the Master."
