Magnus moves and readies an action.Grakk stands, moves up to guard 1, and drops him with an AP.  That triggers Swift Charge, which hits guard 2 for 11.  Grakk gets 4 temp hp, and enemies get +2 to attacks against him TSNT.  Morvannon gets whatever he gets when his curse fires.  Vixo's attempt at stealth fails, and his dagger misses.  I'm assuming you moved to H11 with deft strike, since anywhere else and the guard would have had cover against your attack.  NPCing Kamotz and Vrrsk't a bit quicker than I usually would, because it seems pretty obvious what to do.  Kamotz moves to J8 and uses Righteous Brand, which <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2386519/" target="_blank">crits</a> for 15 damage, and Grakk gets +4 to hit guard 2 tent(kamotz).  Vrrsk't circles to flank the guard with Grakk and attacks with Holy strike:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2386524/" target="_blank">18 vs. AC hits exactly for 13 damage</a>, dropping guard 2.  Vrrsk't has a magic weapon now, doesn't he?  His sheet doesn't have that bonus factored in.  Something to keep in mind, for whoever else runs him.  Nearby enemies are all dead, and the hounds aren't in sight yet.  Everyone is up again.  You have this round to make any preparations you see fit.[/sblock][sblock=Status and initiative]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kamotz 31/31 hp, 9/9 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vrrsk't 35/35 hp, 12/12 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Guard 1 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Guard 2 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vixo 38/38 hp, 9/9 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Morvannon 32/32 hp, 8/8 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Magnus 29/29 hp, 8/8 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Grakk 36/44 hp +4 temp, 12/12 surges, -2 defenses TSNT</li> </ul>Resources used: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Grakk:  AP, Swift charge</li> </ul>[/sblock][sblock=enemy stats][/sblock][sblock=map]<img src="http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/DauntonsDeadShadow/northgate03.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
