COMBAT, round 3 - Complete
Trevor steps toward the underpriest, leaving the nearby acolyte for Dara to deal with. He stabs his blade forward, and strikes the man a glancing blow in the side, leaving a shallow wound.
Kurt knows that there success relies on taking the enemy down quickly, so he continues to attack with his longsword, hoping that Hieroneous will smile on him again. Kurt's blade strikes hard, slashing a wound across the underpriest's chest, but failing to take him down.
The darkly clad high priest moves, chanting another spell as he moves up behind his line of trops.

The cleric casts Shield of Faith

Ragnok moves to strike the gnoll he is engaged with, but Norryjar's grip is slick with blood, and the dwarf's hands slip on the weapon's hilt, spoling his aim. The gnoll smiles through its fangs and strikes back, but the axe swishes through the air above the dwarf's head.
A pair of human guards try to slip their blades into Kurt, but one blade deflect's off the cleric's armor, and the other is turned by Kurt's shield. If nothing else, at least Hieroneous is providing his cleric with a modicum of protection.
One of the acolyte's steps forward, and pointing a hand at Coraine, commands the paladin: "FALL!" The command carries the power of the acolyte's faith, and pommels its way into Coraine's mind, forcing him to follow its compuslion.
Pleased with the group's success, Verdis continues his barrage of Eldritch Blasts. This time he targets the Acolyte who healed the cleric. Despite the bodies that block his shot, Verdis' blast is dead on target, taking the acolyte in the chest, and blasting him over backward.
With one foe dispatched, Dara now turns her attention to the acolyte that just attacked her. Her falchion cuts deep into the robed man's chest, ending his life in a spray of blood.
Coraine, unable to help himself, falls to the ground, victim of the now dead acolyte's spell. The temple guard standing above him grins and thrusts his sword down toward the paladin's back, piercing armor and flesh!
The underpriest, having suffered several wounds, steps away from his opponent's and calls upon the power of the Earth. Trevor feels his body seized by unnatural forces, and is paralyzed as they prevent him from moving!
The glowing stone fist slams forward, this time solidly connecting with Dara, and bruising her with the force of the blow.
FYI Leif, Trevor couldn't get into flanking position on "U" without provoking an AoO from both "a" and "u."
