He begins to grunt a tuneless battle song, maintaining the beat of his movements, allowing for unexpected flurries. It's not pretty but in its own way it's stirring. Even though he's no bard, Kine's song draws his own into a rough sort of harmony - a soldier's chant. His skillful bladework quickly finds an opening in his foe’s defense, and he plunges his longsword deep into the bugbear’s chest. The bugbear looks at the blade in stunned awe, and then slumps to the floor in a widening pool of blood.The last two bugbears step forward to attack you, one going for Coraine, the other for Ragnok. Both are successful at striking their targets. Although Coraine manages to avoid the worst of the impact, but the continued blows are beginning to take their toll on Ragnok.Cursing under his breath in frustration Verdis tosses out another Eldritch Blast at the Bugbear. "Curse all goblinoid scum..." Verdis’ blast strikes the bugbear attacking Coraine full in the chest.Lucius moves up behind Coraine, and with a prayer to Hieroneous he lays a hand on the dwarves shoulder, channeling warm healing power into his body.Kine tries to maneuver in closer to the front lines, where he can do the most to aid the flow of battle. Following Lucius’ example, the elf casts a spell of healing upon the dwarf before him.Otto sends another sling bullet whizzing into the fray, striking one of the bugbears a minor blow.Dara and Jorb stand ready, keeping their eyes both on the melee before them, and on the group’s rear to ensure that there are no more surprises.Ragnok takes the blows firmly, and even though he's got now some ugly scratches, wades in to combat with the next bugbear with a left arc to the brute's chest. This is the balance point, no time to rise my shield, got to drop them fast. The axe easily gets by the bugbear’s attempt to parry, slashing a wide gash across the beast.Initiative Order:Coraine 20, attack vrs. BB3 23 (success), damage 10BB5 19, attack vrs.
