Destiny watches the top portion of the door shatter and while looking at the doorway she replies to Byntrou, “Unfortunately, I have to touch my victim.  Actually, what I do is give them a glimpse of many possibilities that could happen in their life.  The influx of all their future possibilities comfuses their brain and they get physically sick.  But I gotta be close to get a sense of my prey … so to speak.”  A brief sound of clapping can be heard on the other side of the door, almost as if to mock the efforts of the party.  "Almost there, boys ..." comes a heckle from inside the door.Pwent's approach lands his body flat against the door and the door jerks off its hinges and Pwent falls with the door into the room.  The door itself breaks into several pieces as it falls under the strain that Pwent enforced.  As Pwent emerges through the door, the voice adds, "I do believe that now would be a good time, gentlemen."ROUND ONE:Pwent:[Sblock]Only after entering the room does Pwent realize that there is more than one person inside the room.  There are actually three, each of them looks like a human.  One of them has a crossbow trained on Pwent's position.  The other - most likely the one who spoke the whole time, has a greatsword that rivals the size of Bahruul's.  The third one also has a greatsword.  Needless to say, they look like they are out for blood.The one with the crossbow strikes first, sending a crossbow bolt right into Pwent's side.  The one who had spoken laughs and says, "Nice shot, Mirth!"  Mirth replies, "Thanks, Garth!"  He prepares another shot.[Sblock]4 damage done by the bolt[/Sblock]Garth, the one who looks as though he had done all the talking, approaches next as Pwent gets to his feet.  He bats Pwent around with the edge of the sword, hitting Pwent hard.  This time the other greatsword weilding one adds, "Wonderful strike, Garth!"  To which, Garth very politely replies, "Why thank you, Patrick!"[Sblock]11 damage from the attack [/Sblock]Patrick looks as though he will be able to strike before Pwent is able.  His attack was readied as well.[/Sblock]Everyone except Pwent:Standing outside the room and watching Pwent fall into the room, the first thing the party can see is that literally as Pwent crashes through the door, a crossbow bolt lodges into his side.  The voice which had already spoken a few times says,  "Nice shot, Mirth!"  Mirth replies, "Thanks, Garth!"  Before Pwent is able to react except to begin to get to his feet, Garth - the one who had done all the talking - approaches Pwent.  The party can only help but watch as he bats Pwent around with the edge of the sword, hitting Pwent hard.  This time a third voice adds, "Wonderful strike, Garth!"  To which Garth very politely replies, "Why thank you, Patrick!"ALL: Battlefield Map:[Sblock][Code]|M   ||p G || P  ||- --| | B| |Kb| |D |[/Code]"|" & "-" are walls, each representing 5 feetM = Mirth, p = Patrick, G = GarthP = Pwent, K=Keryth, B=Bahruul, b = Byntrou, D = Destiny[/Sblock]OOC:[Sblock]In case anyone is wondering, Pwent fell victim to readied actions.  Hopefully you all saw that coming, at least.  It is unfortunate ... but hopefully clearly understandable.[/Sblock]</blockquote>
