There is only so much help he can provide, he thinks, his strategies changing moment to moment. He reloads and fires at Aeron's guard, knowing that the way ahead must be unblocked. Firing into the melee proves difficult, though, and again the bolt misses its target.Aeron steadfastly strikes his foe, silently whispering a prayer to Pelor. The Last Prophet's mace slams down upon his foe's head, sending him staggering to the ground.Deren grimaces as he sees more approaching from the south. And they were doing so well, he thinks, but it makes sense that the end would approach when a happy ending is in sight. He grabs another dagger and throws it at the nearest opponent. This time, the dagger misses its mark.Shoon looks back and forth from the door, to the backs of Zirat and Merrick, Unsure what to do next. He decides to trust that the two warriors will know when and so sets about helping them in that. If they do not take a prisoner then all of there efforts here will be in vain, they need to know where their friend is being held. With that in mind, Shoon begins to carry the lightest of the unconscious guards out to the hallway in which Aeron and Jinx are securing their retreat. Clad as they are in heavy armor, none of the guards is light, but Shoon makes what progress he can.Sir Merrick pulls back a step to be in killing distance then sweeps his polearm around and brings down the large blade of his glaive upon the captain. "Enough villain." The polearm slides along the commander's armor, but fails to pierce skin.Fearful at his miss with necromantic magic, Jinx draws one of his daggers, but seeing Aeron take the guard down, the gnome elects to keep the weapon in hand.Zirat keeps his spot, angry and frustrated on his poor defending maneuvers. The champion lashes his chain once more, hoping to crush the human's head. The chain draws blood, but the commander ignores the minor wound.As the reinforcements approach, Merrick lashes his glaive at one of the gnoll's, dropping it in a spray of blood. Another gnoll approaches, but avoids both Zirat's chain and Merrick's glaive. The brute steps over its companions' corpses and strikes unsuccessfully at Merrick.The commander slices at Zirat with his longsword, but the gladiator avoids the deadly weapon. The other guards continue to fill in the gaps behind their leader.Initiative Count20 Ciaran - attack vrs gnoll d 12 (failure)20 Aeron - attack vrs guard 7 23 (success), damage 819 Deren - attack vrs guard 5 10 (failure)13 Shoon - grab bandit, move13 Merrick - attack vrs guard 5 17 (failure); AoO vrs gnoll c 21 (success), damage 13; AoO vrs gnoll e 12 (failure)12 Jinx - 9 Zirat - attack vrs guard 5 23 (success), damage 8; AoO vrs gnoll e 14 (failure)<s>9 gnoll c - move, provokes AoO from Merrick</s>9 gnoll e - move, provoke AoO from Merrick & Zirat; attack vrs Merrick 14 (failure)8 human 5 - attack vrs Zirat 16 (failure)4 human 1 - move4 human 2 - move4 human 3 - [OUT OF SIGHT] ?4 human 4 - movePC StatusAeron    6/24Merrick    6/22Shoon    13/18Zirat    15/31Jinx    15/15; mage armor (approx 54 mins left) for AC17[sblock=Opponent Status - Players Do Not Look]Guard 1 -4/38, stabilizedGuard 2 -3/27, stabilizedGuard 3 -7/27, stabilizedGuard 4 -3/27, stabilizedGuard 5 DEADO1    DEADGnoll a DEADgnoll b -4/11gnoll c -2/11gnoll d -7/11gnoll e 11/11human 5 21/29bugbear -2/16human 1 8/8human 2 8/8human 3 8/8human 4 8/8human 5 8/8human 6 -8/8guard 7 0/8[/sblock]</blockquote>
