The other two visible gnolls mingle about in the doorway, waiting for an opening to move through.Otto turns, hearing the shout. "Very well, brute," he replies, "Better you than I to take their charge. I'll aid as best I can." OOtto lets Two Axe by, and steps back once the barbarian is past. Drawing a dagger to toss at the approaching guards, Otto loses grip on the weapon in his haste in it clatters to the ground not ten feet away from where he stands.Verdis fires the crossbow at the lead guard. The quarrel is not centered properly in its track, though, and when the warlock clicks the trigger the missile flies completely off target.Changed Verdis' target from gnoll to guard...Verdis can't see the gnolls, which are in the hallway to the south."Mercenaries? Ha!" Nodding to Otto, Coraine adopts a ready stance, crying "For the Invincible!" "Out of the way, Otto!" Two axe shouts, barreling forward. He advances, and tries to strike down a guard, but the blade of his axe deflects off of his new foe's shield.The guards stop short in their rush to engage Two Axe, swinging their morningstars with deadly force, but the skilled half-orc manages to avoid their strikes.Seeing the enemy stopped to engage his companion, Coraine moves forward and swings ferociously at the nearest guard. Let the fountains of his blood make amends for his offense! His axe cuts through the guards chainmail, opening a wide gash across the man's stomach.Marco moves further south, hoping to bolster his companions on that side of the fight. He raises his crossbow and send a bolt whizzing through the open door and into the hallway beyond. The bolt finds its target, sticking into the creature's shoulder.“You should have run while you still could...” Dara swings her falchion around and attacks the closest enemy, but fails to draw blood against the wounded gnoll.[sblock=For Dara]From her position, Dara can see at least four gnolls in the room beyond.size=1]This includes gnolls 'b' and 'c'.[/size][/sblock]Ragnok's blade comes around from dropping the human guard, and cuts into the wounded gnoll, dropping him.Initiative CountI have to apologize for the horrible rolls here...invisible castle was not your friend this round.
