"With Pelor's blessing, you are made whole."  With a touch, Sir Merrick's wounds heal.The bandit captain continues to direct the battle from the rear, yelling at his troops to rally and slay your group. The plate armor beneath his dark tunic reflects your light, and his shield is black and bears a symbol of a golden skull. His hand axe having been thrown, he steps back and brandishes a bastard sword as he waits for you to break through his troops.Two of the archers step away from Merrick, not realizing the knight's deadly skill with the glaive. Although one of the archers manages to evade his strike, the galive cuts down the other bandit, sending him stumbling away in a shower of blood. The archer that avoided the strike launches an arrow at Merrick, striking him in the chest.The archer to the right steps back away from Zirat, only to be struck by the champion's chain as it whips out of nowhere to slash the bandit's throat. The man falls from the solid blow.The archers on the stairs, their height advantage eliminating the benefit of the low wall, release shafts of feathered death. One's aim is way off, and the missile misses Zirat, but the other archer is dead on, and the arrow pierces Merrick's flesh, adding yet another wound to the tally"Throw down your arms and surrender or die where you stand!" Sir Merrick lashes out with his glaive at the nearest armed brigand, but the weapon is deflected off the man's shield.Not wanting to be left behind by the brave, if reckless, adventurers, Shoon silently enters the tower as well. He draws a sai as he moves, but strikes the bandit with an open palm to his jaw, staggering but not dropping him.His back flat against the outside of the tower, Jinx sucks in a couple of nervous gulps of air, then darts into the tower to stand to Zirat's right.  From there, the gnome hunkers down by the low wall and weaves his fingers in a gnarled pattern in the air in front of himself.  "Hocus pocus, bedunked crocus.  Red, yellow, blue alight.  Find your mark and stop the fight!"  Jinx stops weaving his spell and tosses a pinch of red, yellow, and blue colored sand at the bandits in front of him.His back flat against the outside of the tower, Jinx sucks in a couple of nervous gulps of air, then darts into the tower...but seeing Shoon in the place he hoped to move, steps to Merrick's left.  From there, the gnome hunkers down by the low wall and weaves his fingers in a gnarled pattern in the air in front of himself.  "Hocus pocus, bedunked crocus.  Red, yellow, blue alight.  Find your mark and stop the fight!"  Jinx stops weaving his spell and tosses a pinch of red, yellow, and blue colored sand at the bandits in front of him. One of the four bandits targeted by the spell falls to the ground, but the other three are blind, and thus immune to the effects of the spray of colors.The bandit lieutenant drops his bow, and unlimbers a deadly looking heeavy flail. He moves to stand between your group and his captain."Why does everyone have to say something as they attack?" Deren asks with a laugh as he enters the building and throws a dagger at the nearest bandit. Unfortunately, the halfling fumbles the blade, and it goes clattering to the floor.Ciaran steps closer and unloads a crossbow bolt into the cluster of bandits. The bolt pierces the closest bandit's chest, and the man goes down like a sack of rocks."By the name of Kord," shouts the wounded champion and swings his spiked chain high above Jinx's head. It crashes down on another bandit's head, smashing the blinded man into the ground.The remaining bandits, blinded, stumble about aimlessly, yelling and screaming.Had to change some actions slightly based on intiative. B3 thru B8 are the bandit fighters, while the other Bs are the bandit archers.20 Aeron, casts Cure Light Wounds on Merrick (10 points healed)18 Bandit Captain, 5' step<s>15 B1</s><s>15 B2</s>15 B9, attack vrs Merrick 21 (success), damage 4<s>15 B10</s>15 B11, attack vrs Zirat 8 (failure)15 B12, attack vrs Merrick 23 (success), damage 315 Merrick, AoO vrs B9 9 (failure), AoO vrs B10 26 (success), damage 11, attack vrs B8 12 (failure)14 Shoon, moves, attack vrs B5 20 (succcess), damage 512 Jinx, (not enough movement to make it to Zirat's right), Color Spray vrs B4, B6, B7, B811 Bandit Lieutenant, moves, draws flail11 Deren, attack vrs B5 "1" (failure)9 Ciaran, attack vrs B5 "20" (threat), confirm 19 (success), damage 106 Zirat, AoO vrs B1 22 (success), damage 10, attack vrs B4 15 (success), damage 11<s>5 B3</s> 5 B4, blinded 2r thus immune to Color Spray<s>5 B5</s>5 B6, blinded 2r thus immune to color spray5 B7, blinded 2r thus immune to color spray5 B8, will save 7 (failure), unconsciousParty StatusMerrick 15/22, bless (28r)Deren 15/17, bless (28r)Zirat 22/31, bless (28r)Jinx 10/10, bless (28r), mage armor (2 hours) for AC17Shoon 18/18, bless (28r)Aeron  24/24, bless (28r)Ciran 16/16, bless (28r)[sblock=Opponent Status - Players don't look here!]B1: dying, -4/10B2: dying, -2/6B3: dying, -3/6B4: dying, -5/6B5: dying, -9/6B8: UnconsciousB10 dying, -5/6[/sblock]Map:<a href="http://img249.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bandittowerr3oti8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7803/bandittowerr3oti8.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></blockquote>
