The man you would take as the bandit captain continues to shout orders to his troops, as he withdraws and hurls another throwing axe toward Ragnok. But as before, the axe is deflected by the dwarf's stout armor.
Otto zigs and zags through his allies and into the tower, shifting just behind Coraine in the corner of the "foyer".
Ragnok slashes his axe across at the next bandit, and sends another foe tumbling away into a heap.
Two Axe feels like a wolf among sheep as he surveys the archers. Leaping down from his position atop the low wall, he finds target's aplenty and strikes out with his strange double axe, shotuing with fury. Furios are the half-orc's strikes indeed, and he leaves two of the men laying in crimson pools.
The bandit in the rear with the bow drops his weapon and rushes Two-Axe, drawing a wicked looking flail as he does so. He swings it about his head as he nears, striking the beefy half-orc a stunning blow. Although his armor kept him alive, Two-Axe realizes that another blow like that could end him.
Coraine finds his opponent out of his range, and so steps up past Ragnok to pursue. He manages to catch the backpedaling archer with his sharp axe, and nearly severing the man's neck.
Dara tries to keep some of the attackers between herself and the archers...seeing Two Axe drop the bandit she had wounded, the warrior turns her attention to the next closest foe. Her savage overhand blow is aided by her leap down from the stone wall, and she cleaves her foe from shoulder to sternum.
Verdis moves out of the doorway to allow the others in and lets his crossbow fall to hang from his shoulder. Calling upon his arcane power he hurls an eldritch blast the same bandit on the stairs. The blast strikes the wounded bandit, and he falss back and tumbles down the stairs to lay very still.
Crossbow loaded, Marco moves into position once more, stepping out from behind the tower wall to attempt a shot at the bandits in the back. The bolt misses, clattering against the rear wall of the room, but casting its bright light about and illuminating much of the large tower.
The bandits attempt to put up some sort of defense over your savage onslaught, but their numbers have been rapidly thinned. One tries to put an arrow into Coraine, but he is too rattled to aim well and the missile goes wide. One strikes at Ragnok, but again fails to penetrate the dwarf's armor. One near Two Axe drops his bow and pulls a shortsword from his belt, but his strike is nowhere near the large warrior. The last bandit upon the stairs launches an arrow at Verdis, grazing the warlock's neck.
