Anything that wants to enter the house is going to have to go through the fighter. But it also means that anyone in the house is unable to engage those outside. The only thing he can do right now is wait off to one side of the door incase anything gets through*.Libros moves through the house to the nearest window overlooking the front of the house. Beneath him he can just make out the blurry shape of two dogs and three gnolls through watery glass. They are closing rapidly on the front door below him (which he cannot see). He commences loading his crossbow.Moments later Eban joins Libros. As Eban activates his powers, sounds of fighting emerge from below**. Bayar only just has time to set his feet when the dogs reach him. Bayar's sword plunges deeply into the first dog as it launches itself at the warrior. The dogs momentum carries it forward and Bayer is only just able to turn it away with his shield, knocking it to the ground. The second dog takes advantage of Bayar's distraction and slips through his defences to inflict a nasty bite. Bayer however, manages to keep his feet as the dog attempts to pull him down.Jan snaps out of his creeping slumber. A battle song comes to mind and as he starts singing it, the clear notes fill the house as he races up the steps. Reaching the ground floor, he finds himself with Sukri watching Bayar defend the doorway.As the first of the gnolls rushes in, Bayar notices the creature dropping his shoulder in preparation to bull rush. Seizing the opportunity, Bayar drives his sword into the gnoll's neck. Bayar earns himself a bloody howl of surprise. The gnoll crashes into Bayar, but his strength has gone. The gnoll collapses at Bayar's feet. The second gnoll, right behind the first ready to provide assistance pushing through the door, finds himself standing over his pack-mate face to  face with a blood covered Bayar. Instinctively he lashes out, but ineffectively.The third gnoll, unable to engage, commences a torrent of barks and howls. Its sounds like language you wouldn't want your mum to hear you using.[sblock=OOC]NOTES:* Sukri has a std action and five foot step available. He is threatening the space behind Bayar. ** Eban and Libros are roughly above the others at the front door, so about 15 feet max. Both spells are effective. Re-roll conditions noted. The window is not open. It will require a move action to open it.INITIATIVE:Sukri 22Libros 16Eban 12Bayer 11Jan 10Dogs 10Gnolls 5COMBAT:Bayar: Attack 24 (Hit). Miss Chance 39 (N/A) Damage 11.
