[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 4178804, member: 29098"] [b]Combat, round 1 - COMPLETE[/b] Some of the worshippers react quicker than expected, drawing weapons and rushing you. The bugbear reacts quickly, standing and drawing his weapon. Its attack vrs Ragnok if off, though, and comes nowhere near striking the dwarf. One of the guards too engages the dwarf, but his aim is even worse than the bugbears. One of the gnolls moves through his companions to attack Coraine, but the wily paladin sidesteps the clumsy blow. One of the robbed men steps away from the throng, and begins casting a spell. [sblock=For Kurt] Kurt recognizes the spell as [i]bless[/i] [/sblock] Trevor again fires his bow, and realizes while he prefers the blade. His arrow goes right over the head of his intended target. Kurt draws his longsword and he moves onto the right flank of the group and attacks the nearest creature. The quick moving gnoll gets in the cleric's way, and Kurt pauses to thrust his steel blade through the dirty creature's throat. It gurgles on its own blood, and collapses and the cleric tears his sword free. Another guard rushes forward, straddling the dead bugbear, and thrusts his own blade at Coraine. The paladin almost laughs at the clumsiness of the strike as he dodge out of its way. The cleric growls in pain from Verdis' eldritch blast, and glares at the suloise warlock. Even from this distance, Verdis can feel the hatred in the man's gaze. The cleric calls upon the power of the earth, and a downpour of sharp rocks and stones suddenly bursts over the heads of Dara, Trevor and Verdis. [sblock=For Dara and Kurt] The cleric has cast [i]Hail of Stones[/i] [/sblock] Ragnok bellows a dwarven warcry and smashes Norryjar down upon the nearest human guard, cutting through the man's armor and sinking his axe deep into the man's chest. The guard wobbles on his feet and falls to the ground. One of the robbed acolytes attacks Kurt, swinging his mace at the Purger; Kurt deflects the weapon with his shield. Even as he does so, a human guard takes the place of the gnoll he had downed, and takes advatage of the cleric's distraction to slip his longsword through Kurt's guard. The blades cuts a wound down his side, but it isn't a serious one. Having drawn the ire of a serious adversary, Verdis considers a retreat, but steeling his nerve he draws back and tosses another Eldritch Blast the Cleric. The warlock is still off balance from the cleric's spell, though, and the blast sails far off its target, missing him by ten feet or more... Dara casts another spell, curses as it falters, and heads into the room, drawing her falchion as she moves past the battleline with quick steps. Seeing Dara skirting the combat, one of the gnolls moves to intercept her, brandishing his axe as he goes. Coraine growls and slashes with his axe at one of the Temple guards before him, cutting into the man's face. The guard cries out and grabs at his face before tumbling over into unconsciousness. A gnoll seizes on the opportunity, leaps its fallen companion's body, and swings wildly at Coraine, but the paladin deflects this blow on his shield as well. Another acolyte moves close to the pyramid, and points his hand at Dara. [color=red]"Disarm!"[/color] he shouts, and the barbarian woman feels the compulsion of the spell upon her. Fortunately, the man's spell is no match for her force of will, and she is able to ignore the effect. The underpriest steps forward and casts his own spell, summoning into being a glowing fist which seems to be made of stone before Dara. The fist slams down toward her, but she easily dodges the clumsy strike. [sblock=For Kurt] Kurt recognizes the spell as Spiritual Weapon.
