Combat - Round 1
The three temple guard's recover from the shock of being surprised quickly, taking the offensive as they grab weapons and attack you.
One whips out his longsword and aims a powerful two-handed blow at Two Axe, striking the half-orc a critical blow and opening a deep, bloody gash in his side. "More to the South!" shouts Two Axe, as he continues to rip into his opponet with both sides of his axe. The first side slashes another wound in the guard, but the man dodges the second strike.

Two Axe notes that the guard to the south dodges back around the corner, out of sight.

The guard that Dara slashed brandishes his battleaxe and strikes back at her, grazing her thigh with the blade.
The last guard attacks Ragnok with his morningstar, striking the dwarf solidly.
Otto fakes out his foe, and takes advantage of the opening to thrust his rapier into the guard's stomach.
Letting his crossbow fall to hang by its strap, Verdis calls upon his magic to toss a blast at the same target. His blast of arcane energy strikes home, but doesn't seem to do much damage to his target.
Coraine stands for a moment in awe of the power of his god. Then he pivots, bringing the momentum of his movement to bear in the strike against Dara's opponent. His axe cleaves through yet more armor and flesh, and a second foe falls beneath the paladin's blade.
Marco continues to watch the slaughter with a morbid fascination, noting how each man dies of his wounds. He also keeps an eye back out the door, making sure no surprises come from behind.
Seeing Coraine steal her kill, Dara turns to the next guard in line. Her falchion slashes a bloody wound deep into the man's bicep.
Ragnok aims another blow at his opponent, but fails to cut through the thick metal of the man's armor.
I hope nobody minds, but I think I am going to switch formats to where I post the round before you post your actions. That way I can update it as each player posts for their PC...is this okay with you guys?
