One Storm Ends . . .
Cerallos careens down the stairs after Athelstan, and slams into the creature threatening Mistress Still, wrapping the unfortunate creature in a bear hug. The poor thing becomes a writhing mass of arms, legs, and teeth, immediately turning and attempting to attack it's subduer with whatever means are available to it.

OOC: At this point I'm going to assume that Gavril is also waking up, throwing on some of his clothing, and rushing to the fray.
IC: The three remaining PC's hurry out into the hall. As they pass the doors at the top of the stairs, they see Eadon standing nervously outside what they assume is his new employer's door.
Deasaigh is the first to arrive at a vantage point on the stairs from whence he can see the fight. He sees what obviously are the Still's three children -- now horribly transformed into horrible creatures with long, gnarly fingernails, protruding jaws and teeth, and lanky hair -- attacking Mistress Still, Scáth, and Athelstan. Scáth is zooming about (Wait, he can fly? Well of course he can fly! Can't they all?) taunting one of the unfortunates, Cerallos has another in a desperate clench (though he definitely looks to have his hands full), and Athelstan is squaring off with the third.
He stops at the bend in the stairs and unlimbers the biggest bow any of the other PC's have ever seen. Something about it makes them stop for a short glance, even in the middle of the fight (only those on the stairs can see the bow -- those already engaged don't even see the others coming down yet). The bow has something of an unearthly quality to it, though it's impossible to identify exactly what it is that draws the attention.
Gavril and Béar rush by Deasaigh and down the stairs, where they engage the monsters.
OOC: If any of my assumptions about your actions are incorrect, feel free to correct them!

The monster held by Cerallos turns in his grasp, trying to latch onto his face and gnaw it off. He narrowly misses catching one of Cerallos' delicate, pointed ears in his maw.
Athelstan's opponent lashes out with a clawed hand and slashes him on the left shoulder. (Athelstan takes 6 STUN damage and 2 BODY damage, after his defenses are applied -- 9 STUN less his 3 PD total, and 3 BODY less his 1 Resistant PD).
The poor creature being tormented by Scáth tries in vain to bring the little man down, but is unable to connect with the quickling.
Cerallos uses 3 END (in Phase 4), Athelstan uses 2 END, and Scáth uses 1 END (both in Phase 3).
OOC: That should bring us to Phase 6, unless those acting in Phase 4 for whom I made assumptions wish to do something different.

Gavril
Stuggling up out of sleep Gavril rubs his eyes and sits up. Did someone shout 'bandits'? Diddious, wake up man, ready your crossbow. Gavril tosses on a silk dressing gown and his sword belt. Get my armor and boots ready, I'm going to see what is happening. His feet bare, Gavril limps to the top of the stairs to decern what is happening. He appears at the head of the stairs sword in hand wearing a fine silk robe in a deep red with golden scrollwork. His hair is carefully wrapped in a cloth.

If Gavril descends to the turn in the stairs, he is able to observe the struggle going on on the main floor (see previous posts).
OOC: Scott: It will take Gavril a full Phase to don the largest, most convenient piece of his armor of whichever type he has handy (probably the torso piece). To don a full set of any type of armor up to chain takes a full four phases and can be done alone. Anything heavier than chain takes longer and requires assistance.

OOC: Matt is working until 11:00. He told me what he wants Athelstan to do, and asked me to roll for him. I'll do so, and post his actions. After Mike posts Scath's actions, we'll be ready for Phase 8.
Athelstan winces from the stinging blow the creature formerly known as Aved Kidly delivered to his shoulder. Looking reluctant, he draws his flail and swings at the monster. To any experienced observer, it is apparant that he is attempting not to do too much damage to his opponent.
Athelstan rolls 3d6, getting [5,2,6] = (13) To Hit, and
Athelstan rolls 3d6, getting [6,4,4] = (14) Hit Location.
The light weapon whistles just in front of Aved's thighs as the creature jumps back to avoid the blow. (Athelstan uses 2 more END points.)

OOC: So you did -- my mistake! We're now up to Phase 8. Cerallos is in a position to squeeze, throw, or otherwise attack his grappled opponent. Deasaigh is in position to attack with is bow or to move into melee and attack. Béar may move into melee and attack this phase, and Gavril may either follow suit or return to his room to clothe himself more fully before returning to the fray. Your opponents will act this Phase as well, but they act after the PC's.
Scáth uses 1 END this Phase (6) to continue flying, for a total of 2.
