[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 3475430, member: 29098"] Two furry gnolls step out of the door, and one's axe blade finds a gap in Dara's defense, opening a deep gash in her side. The other hairy beast attacks Ragnok, but the dwarf takes the blow upon his tower shield. Otto looks forward and behind, wondering where he could be of most assistance. [color=orange]"Oh, dear,"[/color] he says. [color=orange]"We seem to be running two fights at once. Not terribly sound strategy, I must say."[/color] He looks forward to Two-Axe, and the opponents beyond. Drawing a dagger, the halfling considered his own strategy. Tossing a dagger down the hall, the blade fails to penetrate his opponent's armor. Cursing the crossbow, Verdis lets it fall and calls upon the more reliable magic. He targets the same foe with an eldritch blast. Verdis shouts to Otto his bravado covering mounting fear, [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"I had hoped that I was merely experiencing double vision from your wine, but I fear you are correct. I vote that in future we confine ourselves to one battle at a time."[/COLOR] The blast tears into its target, but fails to drop the man. Coraine nods in grim agreement. Fighting on two fronts is definitely [b]not[/b] the best way to succeed. He applies himself with renewed vigour to the task of finishing off these enemies so that he can make his way to the others, eager to bring this battle to a close. Coraine's axe splits his foes' head like an overripe melon. Two Axe is in his element here. He thrashes his axe around with apparent abandon, but actually with considerable skill, trying to cut down the guards so he can return and help against the gnolls. His foe, off balance from Verdis' blast, goes down quickly beneath his axe. The two remaining human guards step up, attacking Coraine and Two Axe. A furious exchange of blows takes place, and Coraine is left bleeding from a gash in the shoudler. Marco purses his lips as he reloads his crossbow. The battle has not been going nearly as well as could have been hoped. His hands sweat slightly as he raises the weapon to fire once again, hoping for more good luck. Marco's aim is off as he takes extra care to avoid his companions, and the bolt goes wide. Dara sidesteps towards the wall, right next to the door, while continuing her attacks with the falchion.[color=white][i]“Beware! There are more of these beasts inside the room.”[/i][/color] The warrior woman fails in her attempts to break the gnoll's defenses. Ragnok's axe draws blood, but fails to drop his opponent.
