"Forgive my hastiness, friends, but the last time you faced a summoned beast one of your number didn't live to tell the tale.  And as the new man here, I fear that my number would be up!  I may have killed us all, anyway." Unfortunately, the soldier's hastiness affects his aim, and the arrow deflects off one of the ornate steel pauldron's of the cleric's armor.Kurt watches the cleric. "Verdis! The Cleric!" he says, pointing at the plate armored leader of the Temple. Then, realising that he'll probably not get a better opportunity, Kurt positions himself and calls upon the power of Heironeous to smite the gathered evil-doers with a cacophony of sound. "Don't be forgetting Burne's gifts!" he reminds the others.Ragnok smiles as Trevor attacks, and then charges forward unhesitant. Reaching the first foe, the kneeling bugbear, the dwarven warrior slams his axe home. The blade tears into the enemy's shoulder, spraying blood, but fails to slay the large, hurry goblinoid.Not liking the look of that armor, Verdis let's his crossbow fall and call upon his magic to send an Eldritch Blast at the Cleric. The blast sales through the air, striking the armored cleric and staggering him a bit.A little surprised at the sudden attack from Trevis, Dara quickly gathers her thoughts and casts a spell of protection, which might be exactly what is needed now. Her spell however, is foiled by the armor that she is still unused to casting in.Seeing Ragnok charge forward, Coraine hustles to catch up with the dwarf. His axe sinks into the bugbear a moment after his companion's, splitting the brute's skull and spraying blood and brains across the kneeling worshippers.Actions?19 - Trevor: bow vrs Cleric 16 (fail)19 - Kurt: move, cast sound burst17 - Ragnok: move, waraxe vrs b2 28 (success), damage 1310 - Verdis: eldritch blast vrs cleric 18 (success), damage 87 - Dara: cast shield, spells fails due to ASF4 - Coraine: move, battleaxe vrs b2 19 (success), damage 11(3,4,5,6,b,c,d,g2, g3,g4 all caught in sound burst. 3, 5, 6, b, g4 are stunned during round 1)[sblock=Opponent Status - Players Don't Look!]Guard 3    -1, stunned 1Guard 4 -7Guard 5 -3, stunned 1Guard 6 -4, stunned 1Acolyte b -7, stunned 1Acolyte c -2Acolyte d -8gnoll 4 -5, stunned 1gnoll 3 -6gnoll 2 -2<s>bugbear 2 -24</s>Cleric -8[/sblock]</blockquote>
