Suprise round results (I lost my previous post when I clicked the wrong thing, %$^$%^! There now I'm better):
Sidra overcomes the mental command of the bonds through her will and faith in the goddess of peace. Relaizing that not all her companions have such will, she warns the guards.
Seeing Ferrik muscle past Charum. Dawn follows Sidra's actions.
Dawn can see a frightening blue glow in Dominic's eyes as he draws his dagger and proceeds down the left side of the aisle with a look of violent intent on his face.
Charum and Maesnir have to deal with Sidra and a guard. Sidra attempts to wrestle him down, but is instead met with the force of a heavy mace as Charum's fist slams into her jaw sending her sprawling into the seats. Charum continues to pound away, landing another blow but missing a third (2 hits for 8 damage). Maesnir tries to relieve a guard of his halberd, but in the struggle, the guard runs her through with the spearhead. Gond forgive me He whispers.
The blue glow is evident in Xi-Selorn's eyes as well as he reaches up for a nearby lamp and trudges forward down the left aisle. With his makeshift staff, the giant stands ready with deadly intent on his face.
Perhaps due to seeing what he's doing to his friend, the blue light fades from Charum's eyes and he looks to return to himself. Also, to to the giant's titanic strength of will, Xi-Selorn gets control of himself. Ferrik and Dominic, however, still look to be under the bonds' control.
