shield ready and mace raised and moves right in next to Jina.  (Double move to Y6)Jina steps quickly to her left to begin to surround the animal handler, then jukes and jives with her two blades.  The handler tries his best to avoid the attacks, but first the thinblade catches his arm, and this allows her to thrust deep with the lightblade right into the lizard's shoulder!  The blackscale screams in agony as the meaty flesh gets ripped away.  (Attack Handler w/thinblade: *hit* 8 damage // Attack Handler w/lightblade: *crit* 11 damage / hurt)Aern stays out front on guard, and sees nothing of note.Ari quickly pulls back due to the injuries he has received.  (Withdraw to AJ13)The wolverine steps forward now that its main opponent has left, so it turns to the rogue and clamps down with its jaws!  Rogan then sees the beast's paw come up and it slashes Rogaqn across the face.  As blood seeps into his eyes, darkness overtakes him and Rogan falls to the floor.  (Attack Rogan w/claw: *hit* 11 damage // Attack Rogan w/claw: *miss* // Attack Rogan w/bite: *hit* 9 damage / Rogan dying)The animal handler can tell he can't stand up to the two attacking him, so he goes defensive and then whistles for the wolverine in hopes of drawing it to him to help defend him.  (Total defense: +4 to AC)Jango knows there is no time to lose on getting the wolverine down, so he fires his wand again.  The impact hobbles the animal to the point where it's virtually dead at this point.  (Cast Magic Missile vs dire wolverine: 10 damage / critically hurt) Khalia originally planned to move and heal Ari, but with Rogan falling, she realizes she needs to stablize him.  She steps backwards then heals the rogue... bringing him back to consciousness.  (Cast Cure Light Wounds: 5 hit points healed)Round 5Horatio delays a moment to allow Jina to step behind the blackscale and set uo a flank.  (5' step to AA6)  She blocks an attack with her lightblade, but her thinblade finds purchase.  (Attack Handler w/thinblade: *hit* 12 damage // Attack Handler w/lightblade: *miss* / hurt)Horatio then swings hard with his mace and catches the lizard with an uppercut to the cihn... and he hears the familiar *crack* of bone breaking.  Its head snaps backwards, then the scaley monster falls to the floor dead.  (Attack handler w/heavy mace: *hit* 10 damage / dead)Looking over, the monster hunter can tell the dire wolverine is almost dead... so Ari makes the decision to see how good his aim has gotten.  He reaches over his shoulder to grab abd javelin, pulls it free, and then hurls it at the retreating form of the wolverine.  The pointed wooden pole *chunks* into its side... and the beasts gurgles a few gasps... before dropping to the floor also dead.  (Attack wolverine w/javelin: *hit* 4 damage / dead)The group breathes a collective sigh of relief... and Aern calls out that no other lizardfolk seem to be in the area.  While Khalia and Horatio tend to the injured, Aern and the elves do a quick scout of the rest of the temple and confirm that there are no other blackscales within the building (although they do find a second secret passage in the process).The group then sits down to rest and take stock of where they are and what has occured. Initative Order: 17 Blackscale Adept -40 dead13 Jina 21/3714 Horatio 32/3613 Aern 25/259 Ari 9**/428 Dire Wolverine -59 dead8 Blackscale Handler -41

prestige classes you think you might be interested in (those of you who aren't already leveling in one), please let me know over in the Talking The Talk board which ones you are thinking about and why they might fit in at this point in time.  I'm pretty lenient about giving them out, provided they make sense story-wise why you are picking it up now.As far as treasure found... after gathering the items off of the original High Priest, his two adepts, and the dracotaur... plus the third adept and animal handler, you have the following items (making the assumption you took the several minutes to sit down after the end of this fight to look over everything.)High Priest:Greatclub +1Breastplate +1Brooch Of ShieldingCloak Of Resistance +1Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds3 Adepts & Animal
