[sblock=Encounter A9: Round 2 - Part 1]
Taking a step back to put some distance between him and his attacker, Rogan does all he can to prevent himself from being struck again. He changes his posture to one of defense. (Total Defense +6 to AC)
Hearing the blood rushing in his ears, Ari is in his element. With a bellow, the monster hunter charges forward up next to Rogan to take on the blackscale adept that just walloped the Daggerspell Guardian. With Onyx by his side to cause distraction, Ari comes in high and hard with his longsword and absolutely crushes the priests shoulder, injuring him critically. (Attack adept w/longsword: *crit* 21 damage / hurt)
Donovan considers trying to move up to heal Rogan, but when the rogue steps back out of the fray and allows Ari to take over, the Silver Flame cleric changes tack. He takes a step back from his attackers as well, raises his holy symbol, and suddenly a circle of protection emanates out from him 10 feet... which unfortunately at this moment in time, includes nobody else. (Step to AH13 / Cast Magic Circle Against Evil)
Jango however immediately steps forward in order to gain line of light on the vestry slightly behind the two adepts (and just coincidentally into the magic circle that Horatio created). He immediately forcuses his magical energies on a location just behind them, and suddenly a ball of gold appears and explodes into millions of tiny particles... which float gently to the ground. The adept facing off against Ari immediately reaches up to his eyes with his hand trying to clear his sight, but the other one ignores the glittering dust around him (Step to AI15 / Cast Glitterdust DC 14: Adept A [3] + 9 = 12 *failure* // Adept B [14] + 9 = 23 *success*)
The draconic speakers in the party hear a voice from within the vestry (which Ari and Rogan can both see to be the High Priest) shout out "Help us! Defend the temple of your fathers!" The priest then makes some complex gestures and suddenly he disappears from Ari and Rogan's eyes. (Cast spell)
Aern remains near the back as the group rushes into fight. He lets the stories of valor take a low tone that begins to build into a song that follows the flow of battle. (Continue to Inspire Courgage)
Khalia stands next to Aern and considers her options.

Donovan's action will depend on whether he knows the lizard just disappeared. Your post indicated only Rogan and Ari saw that happen, but they're both ahead of him in initiative order, so if they tell him, he'll step to AH 12 and try an area Dispel Magic on the room where the lizard went invisible, hoping to catch it before it can slip out.
If he doesn't know, he'll reseat his shield and charge / attack adept B with his heavy mace.

With no one seriously injured, enemies that she doesn't know much about (monstrous humanoids), and one opponent who's apparently not in melee, Khalia fires her crossbow at the uninjured blackscale adept. Unfortunately the lizard ducks out of the way as it prepares to go after Brother Donovan, and the bolt slams and imbeds itself in the north wall. (Attack B w/light crossbow: *miss*) She immediately pulls out another bolt to reload.
Jina sneaks around between Rogan and the well, then moves right up to the uninjured adept. She thrusts with her thinblade and catches the priest in the thigh. The blackscale roars in pain. (Attack B w/thinblade: *hit* 8 damage / lightly hurt)
The now-blinded northern adept turns in the direction of Ari in a rage and with a tight two-handed grip, puts a little extra oomph into his swing at the expense of accuracy. Not exactly the best strategy when being unable to see. (Power Attack: -2 to hit, +4 damage) The greatclub arcs in a smooth motion and despite the monster's hunter's total concealment, the attack still manages to slam into his abdomen, knocking the wind out of him. (Attack Ari w/greatclub + power attack - total concealment: *hit* / 50% miss chance *still hit* 21 damage) Ari can feel his knees go a bit weak from that tremendous hit.
The southern adept had intended on going after Horatio, but with the elf swashbuckler stepping right on up to join the melee and his partner taking a big hit from Ari Osten, the blackscale takes a moment to step back, pull out a wand from his belt, then quickly cast of a spell that begins healing some of the wounds of the other lizard. (5' step to AE11 / Cast Cure Moderate Wounds on A: 12 points healed)
Rogan then decides what is best for him to do.

Unless someone else heals Ari before she can act, she'll move across the room and drop her prepared Searing Light for Cure Serious Wounds to heal him.
OOC: I think she can reach the square that's to Ari's "southeast" (by classic video game up = north logic) in a single move.

Grimacing, the hunter curses under his breath. Drawing upon his secret power, cold death lances up his left arm, restoring some vigor. Determined to drop the lizard, he slashes once with his blade while trying to slam into the blind foe. He then steps to the side, hoping to ruin the sightless one's aim.
OOC: use aberrant vigor to gain 5 tmp hp, attack with sword and armor, then step south. Don't forget the brute must save vs Ari's karmic aura spell.

[sblock=DEFCON]You have Rogan listed at 17/20HP, but in round 1 he was hit for 17 damage. So I amassuming is is actually at 0/20. If this really is the case, he will continue to do what he is doing. Taking a 5' back and protecting himself defensively[/sblock]
