Combat, round 4
Foolish, perhaps, and Two axe realizes he may have charged too soon. Seeing them drop their crossbows, Two axe stands his ground, readying axe to intercept anyone approaching.
The guards instead assemble into formation, their blades readied for the first of you to come forward. All but one, who opens the door on the far side of the chamber and moves through, shouting for help.
Otto simply stands his ground, waiting for the warriors to take the front rank.
The warlock follows the others, but keeps an eye out for trouble from behind. He gets a clear shot at one of the guards as he steps up, but his aim is off and the bolt sails over his target's head.
As he slips past the half-orc, Coraine says crisply, "Fall back to the second rank for healing." He then calls over his shoulder, "Marco, do something for this dumb ox, will you?" After that, his attention is solely on his enemy. Stepping up, he swings at the nearest soldier, nimbly avoiding their slashing blades. His axe cuts through his foe's chainmail, toppling the guard to the ground.
Seeing the guards go for their swords already, Dara knows she won't be able to slip into the room before they had their weapons ready. She decides to improve her own defenses first before trying something foolish like charging into the room, while slowly moving forward.
Marco steps up behind Two Axe, chanting the words of his most powerful spell of healing, and laying his hands upon the half-orc's back to channel the power into his body. Two Axe feels much better, but his wounds are not completely healed.
Ragnok charges past, swining Norryjar in a powerful arc. His armor absorbs the strikes from the nearest guard, but knock him off balance, and the axe does little more than cut air.
