The positioning is fine. If Sylinda finds a quaterstaff, she will pick it up. Would a cut down polarm shaft do the trick? Perhaps a few daggers as well, although she will not willingly breach her oaths.
Norin storms in the room and will run to the screen if he doesn't notice anyone else. If he notices someone prepared for an ambush, he'll attack.
Lyssia:
I'm sorry, but I just realized that your invisiblity is suppressed if you stay less than 20' from me.
Battle stats:
My aura grants +4 deflection to AC and +4 resistance to saves against evil attacks and creatures to all within 20' of me. It shields out any attempt of mind control, and suppresses all spells and effect up to 3rd level (including invisibility, but not improved invisibility).
AC: 36
Flatfooted: 34
Touch: 35
(An evil creature that strikes me with a natural attack or unarmed attack takes 1d6 damage. An evil outsider takes 1d8 damage.)
HP: 104
(I have DR 5/magic and DR 5/evil, fast healing 5, fire resistance 10, and I'm immune to cold, acid, electricity, petrification and non-magical diseases.)
Saves:
Fort +14 (+4 vs poison),
Ref +15 (improved evasion)
Will +16 (+2 vs enchantments, +2 vs fear and despair)
Attacks:
Unarmed Strike +15/+12/+9 melee
(considered a +2 holy weapon for the purpose of overcoming DR)
- Damage 1d10+3, 20x2, bludgeoning
- Damage vs. Evil 1d10+3+3d6 +Golden Ice (Fort DC 16: 1d6 Dex/2d6 Dex)
- Damage vs. Evil Outsiders 1d10+3+2d6+1d8 +Golden Ice (Fort DC 16: 1d6 Dex/2d6 Dex)
*Ssessarina continues her panicked screams as Lyssia flies invisibly into the room. With a shout of vengence, she targets Gwyn with her rays of holy light. Revealing herself as an avenging angel, redeemed from the depths of hell, Torr and Gwyn are shaken at the sight. Gwyn feels the holy light seer into him, burning through his armor.*
*Nessa looks over her companions' heads and launches a attack of holy screams. Purified to affect only the black of heart, it slams into Torr hard, and most of the others duck and weave to stave off the worst of the effects. Only Ralam is spared the holy assault.*
*Gwyn holds his action for a brief instant, as Torr chomps through his lighting elixir, and the heavily-armored Phoenix Knight enters the room. Steping forward, he lashes out twice, once slipping Harrowheart through the gaps in his formidable armor, putting all the weight of his hatred for mortals behind it. Blood runs from beneath his armor, and the glimmering knight turns and slams his massive bastard sword into Gwyn's side, making a very deep cut.*
*Sebastion quickly prays for protection and prowess in the following battle, and makes ready to enter the room. Ralam continues to wait on the ceiling like a spider. Ralam:
I assume you're tracking Lyssia?
. Darrin enters the room, nimbly slipping around to start flanking Gwyn, his dagger making a dozen false moves. Aekir makes his move, staying quiet is easy in the heat of combat.*
*Norin slides into the room, and also tries to strike at Gwyn, his fist connecting solidly above the slice left by the Phoenix Knight. Sylinda casts about for a weapon and easily grabs a quarterstaff from the carnage in the hallway.*
Italics mean that someone is invisible, hidden, or otherwise concealed. Please do not make use of this information if you don't know it otherwise.
Torr and Gwyn are shaken. Lyssia moves into the room, attacks the obvious and so far only visible target of Gwyn, dealing 12 points of damage. Nessa drops a purified sonicball in the middle of the room, dealing 44 points of damage to Torr, 22 to Gwyn, Ssessarina, Ghost, and Aekir. Ralam avoids all the damage. Gwyn holds action, Torr takes his potion of haste, Sebastion casts divine favor, Staeven enters the room. Gwyn attacks twice, hitting once, dealing 27 points of damage (actually 24 due to his DR). Staeven attacks Gwyn, hitting for 45 points of damage.
Darren can't quite flank this round, but I moved him as far as he could go and still get in an attack. He Bluffs with a 31, easily beating Gwyn's Sense Motive roll of 19. Aekir moves to behind Lyssia this round, and nobody heard him. Ghost activates a magic item. Norin moves in and hits Gwyn for 17 points of damage. Sylinda looks for a weapon, and can easily grab a quarterstaff from the carnage in the hallway. Casting Shillelagh?
*Gwyn curses in pain and fear, seeing that he is surrounded. He staggers away from Staeven and calls up a cloud of darkness, hoping to hide his retreat.*
Flying as high as she can, Lyssia keeps to the upper limits of the room, using her flight and rays to the best effect she can, targeting her foeman again as she scans the room for other targets. She frowns as she does so, They were prepared for us, I fear we were betrayed by our allies or gave ourselves away.
As Sylinda snatches up the staff, the words and gestures of the Shillelagh spell are already forming in her mind. But she pauses for a moment and glances through the door into the chaos of the room beyond. There is no sign of the Baroness although someone is screaming fit to burst behind the screen. There must be at least one more there threatening that woman. If she is indeed threatened. Uncertainty seizes her for a moment. But with an angry shake of her head she throws it off and casts Shillelagh as originally intended and steps up alongside the door where she can see more, and from where she can more quickly enter the room.
*Ralam's eyes widen slightly at the ferocity of the goodly godlicker's assault.* Heh, so much for redeeming the fallen.
Actions:
Ralam will target Lyssia if he can still get his Death Attack while she's flying. Otherwise he will target Staeven and try to kick the door closed after his attack.
Darren moves 5 feet if needed to flank his opponent. If he's flanking he'll take two attacks, dealing all the sweet sneak attack damage. If he can't flank, he'll take a single attack and use amove action to feint again.
*Aekir watches dispassionately as Gwyn is wounded.*
He isn't going to last much longer, the knights blade bit deep. Time to act.
[ooc: Okay this becomes complicated based on certain things.
There are two paths here. If Gwyn does not live long enough to get his darkness off and/or Aekir is not caught in it:
1) Prefered action is to take a 5 foot step and full attack. If the ceilings are 15' high or less, Aekir will use his slippers of spiderclimb and step up the wall 5 feet and full attack Lyssia.
2) If he can not reach anyone else in a 5' step and full attack he will attempt to move to where the spell casters are, if that route is open to him. He will move silently and again hold to disrupt if possible.
3)If 1 and 2 are not available, he will charge the Phoneix Knight
If Gwyn does get his darkness off and Aekir is caught in it, he will, as a free action, change into a moth and attempt to exit the room out the door by memory and move far enough down the hallway so he is out of the darkness, keeping close to the wall and floor.
OOC: My aura acts as an antimagic field for all spells of third level or lower, so I'm afraid that within 20' of me no invisibility or darkness work (therefore I think both Ralam and Lyssia should be visible, unless they're under improved invisibility).
Since you made no mention of it, I suppose Gwyn made his save vs touch of golden ice.
Norin stops his fists for amoment, looks straight in Gwyn's eyes and says: "Stop this senseless violence now and leave the Baroness to us, and I promise you fair and merciful justice." If there is a surrender he'll hold his blows, otherwise if someone attacks him or his companions he'll attack Gwyn with all his strength.
Isida:
Stats are the same as above. Norin delays his action until one of our enemies attacks. If Gwyn doesn't surrender and we are attacked, he'll strike Gwyn with a stunning attack (Fort DC 24; if he fails he'll be stunned the first round and staggered the following).
