Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 3849606" data-attributes="member: 7006">Rogan counts down to Ari and Jina from three, and on the go signal... all three rush into the room to engage the priest and dracotaur.  Rogan moves directly south to go after the priest, while Ari and the elf girl head straight for the dracotaur... Ari shouting out to the others behind the secret door what is going on.  Khalia hears Ari's shout, and immediately her mind starts swimming to find information she might know about the creature called the "dracotaur".  When Rogan reaches the priest, he glances quickly to his right into the small room off the main chamber and sees a pair of blackscale adepts(?) prostrating themselves on the floor (presumably to the priest as he was chanting).[sblock=Encounter A9: Surprise Round]Due to northern party members waiting until Rogan gives his signal to attack, and southern party members needing to move one at a time out the door, initiative order is based off of Rogan and Horatio's numbers, with others holding their actions as needed.  For this surprise round, only the northern group will act.Initiative Order:17 Dracotaur14 Rogan14 Ari12 Horatio12 Jango10 High Priest8 Aern8 Khalia7 Jina2 Adepts x2Rogan charges south and engages the priest, who gets taken by surprise.  The rogue slashes once with his dagger but he hears the blade clang off of the armor the blackscale wears under his priestly robes.  (Attack High Priest w/dagger: *miss*)Ari and Onyx charge the dracotaur and while crossing the room he releases a foul curse upon the dragonkin.  (Hexblade Curse as Free action: Will save vs DC 15: [7] + 5 = 12 *failure*)  The curse grips the dragonkin, and he can feel that he's just not right anymore.  Ari lets loose with an aura, then takes a big swing with his longsword, which catches the dracotaur across it's torso.  (Attack dracotaur w/longsword: *hit* 6 damage / lightly hurt)Jina follows the monster hunter in and takes a lunge with her thinblade... and because of the distraction caused by Ari's actions... the dracotaur does not notice the young one and the blade slides in below the soft scales under his arm.  The dracotaur screams in pain and anger.  (Attack dracotaur w/thinblade: *hit* 6 damage / hurt)With everyone else now on full alert, the adepts jump to their feet and the four in the secret passage begin to rush out.Dracotaur (Hexblade Curse): -2 to attacks, damage, saves, checks[/sblock]<a href="http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=floorplan2rd0gr0.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8183/floorplan2rd0gr0.th.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></blockquote>
