Combat, round 1 - COMPLETE
Some of the worshippers react quicker than expected, drawing weapons and rushing you. The bugbear reacts quickly, standing and drawing his weapon. Its attack vrs Ragnok if off, though, and comes nowhere near striking the dwarf. One of the guards too engages the dwarf, but his aim is even worse than the bugbears.
One of the gnolls moves through his companions to attack Coraine, but the wily paladin sidesteps the clumsy blow. One of the robbed men steps away from the throng, and begins casting a spell.

Trevor again fires his bow, and realizes while he prefers the blade. His arrow goes right over the head of his intended target.
Kurt draws his longsword and he moves onto the right flank of the group and attacks the nearest creature. The quick moving gnoll gets in the cleric's way, and Kurt pauses to thrust his steel blade through the dirty creature's throat. It gurgles on its own blood, and collapses and the cleric tears his sword free.
Another guard rushes forward, straddling the dead bugbear, and thrusts his own blade at Coraine. The paladin almost laughs at the clumsiness of the strike as he dodge out of its way.
The cleric growls in pain from Verdis' eldritch blast, and glares at the suloise warlock. Even from this distance, Verdis can feel the hatred in the man's gaze. The cleric calls upon the power of the earth, and a downpour of sharp rocks and stones suddenly bursts over the heads of Dara, Trevor and Verdis.

Ragnok bellows a dwarven warcry and smashes Norryjar down upon the nearest human guard, cutting through the man's armor and sinking his axe deep into the man's chest. The guard wobbles on his feet and falls to the ground.
One of the robbed acolytes attacks Kurt, swinging his mace at the Purger; Kurt deflects the weapon with his shield. Even as he does so, a human guard takes the place of the gnoll he had downed, and takes advatage of the cleric's distraction to slip his longsword through Kurt's guard. The blades cuts a wound down his side, but it isn't a serious one.
Having drawn the ire of a serious adversary, Verdis considers a retreat, but steeling his nerve he draws back and tosses another Eldritch Blast the Cleric. The warlock is still off balance from the cleric's spell, though, and the blast sails far off its target, missing him by ten feet or more...
Dara casts another spell, curses as it falters, and heads into the room, drawing her falchion as she moves past the battleline with quick steps.
Seeing Dara skirting the combat, one of the gnolls moves to intercept her, brandishing his axe as he goes.
Coraine growls and slashes with his axe at one of the Temple guards before him, cutting into the man's face. The guard cries out and grabs at his face before tumbling over into unconsciousness. A gnoll seizes on the opportunity, leaps its fallen companion's body, and swings wildly at Coraine, but the paladin deflects this blow on his shield as well.
Another acolyte moves close to the pyramid, and points his hand at Dara. "Disarm!" he shouts, and the barbarian woman feels the compulsion of the spell upon her. Fortunately, the man's spell is no match for her force of will, and she is able to ignore the effect.
The underpriest steps forward and casts his own spell, summoning into being a glowing fist which seems to be made of stone before Dara. The fist slams down toward her, but she easily dodges the clumsy strike.

COMBAT, round 2 - Complete
The bugbear engaging Ragnok strikes Ragnok a solid blow, but only manages to dent the dwarf's heavy armor.
The acolyte nearest Dara steps forward, and slams his mace into her hard, taking the breath from her.
Trevor draws steel and moves in to execute a flanking attack against the cleric facing Kurt. Catching the acolyte offguard, the soldier slides his blade through the man's back, severing his spine. "Yeah, that's right, you villanous priest, I fight DIRTY!"
Kurt spins on heel, away from the falling gnoll he had just slain, and slashes his blade at the nearby human guard. Again, Hieroneous is with his servant, and the blade cuts through armor and flesh, cutting deep into the foe's chest and sending him crashing to the ground. Kurt steps into that position to help straighten the line, being careful not to stumble upon the two bodies lying there already. "We've got them!" he calls to the others in encouragement.
The cleric jumps down to the earth from his perch upon the pyramid, landing lightly. He then proceeds to cast a spell, but none of your group seems to recognize it.
"Ye dented me armor!" Ragnok roars at the bugbear. With both hands gripped tight around Norryjar's hilt, the dwarf raises the axe over his head and swings it in a powerful downward chop at the hairy goblinoid. The blade cleaves through bugbear skull, showering all about with blood and gore.
Another guard moves forward, and deals Kurt a painful cut across his thigh with his blade. A second guard tries to take advantage of the cleric's distraction, but to no avail...Kurt dodges the second strike.
A gnoll engages Ragnok, but is unable to land a blow on the doughty warrior.
An acolyte steps near the pyramid, and reaches over to touch the high priest, infusing him with the healing power of the earth.
Verdis moves into the earth temple, launching an eldritch blast at the gnoll near the pyramid. The beast crumbles before the arcane onslaught, slamming up against the pyramid before crashing to the ground.
Still catching her breath, Dara lifts the doublehanded blade above her head and strikes down on the cultist near her in retaliation. Her berserker rage fuels her attack, and the heavy blade splits the man's head apart, leaving both her and Trevor splattered in gore.
Coraine whirls his axe in hand and slashes it down on the gnoll he fights, sinking it deep into the humanoid's chest. The gnoll falls before the paladin's might.
The acolyte near the pyramid charges forward, smashing his mace down at Dara. The tribeswoman easily dodges the clumsy attack.
The last human guard steps up over his fallen companion, and strikes at Coraine with his blade, cutting a shallow wound on the paladin's upper arm.
The underpriest leaps down and charges into the frey, striking at Kurt with his own mace. Again Kurt gets lucky, and the blow bounces off his armor.
The glowing stone fist again strikes at Dara, but misses badly.
That was a good round for our heroes.
