Avardis asks his opponent as he beats the man's blade away. "I really think you ought to consider it."Avardis swings his bastard sword at the thug, but it causes the swordsman no great distraction.[sblock=21-Avardis]Avardis takes a 5ft step to threaten Swordsman 2.  He then uses an attack to harry the enemy (attack vs AC 10).1. Melee Attack (Bastard Sword): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291164" target="_blank">harry (1d20+1=4)</a> - FAILS![/sblock]Dirk grins menacingly at his now bloody opponent, and swings again.The attack connects, slicing across the swordsman's abdomen.  The thug is badly wounded, and staggers, but does not fall.[sblock=19-Dirk]Dirk takes a 5ft step to threaten Swordsman 2, then attacks.1. Melee Attack (Falchion): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291165" target="_blank">falchion (1d20+2=16)</a> - HITS!2. Damage Roll: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291166" target="_blank">2d4+1=4</a>[/sblock]It is, perhaps, fortunate that sandcats cannot curse. Nevertheless, the transformed G'Sharn makes a game attempt of it, yowling his pain, contempt, and fury as he slashes out at the fool who made the mistake of cutting him.G'Sharn moves into a slightly better tactical position, but his bite attempt is easily dodged.[sblock=18-G'Sharn]G'Sharn continues to attack Swordsman 2.  He moves 5ft to get a flank with Dirk (+2 to hit).1. Melee Attack (Bite): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291170" target="_blank">Bite (1d20+6=11)</a> - MISS![/sblock]The final remaining swordsman, woozy from blood loss, swings his blade at the wounded sandcat.  As he does, a large man in chain mail, wielding a battle axe, bursts through the assembled crowd!  "Fools!  I had a feeling you would fail me!  Now, I must clean up this mess!"  The man with the axe charges Isphet, the closest enemy.Isphet half-turns.  "Wha--" as the newest attacker brazenly charges across the marketplace and, axe wielded with some skill, brutally cuts the moneylender across the torso, the axe digging far too deep for comfort.  Isphet crumbles to the ground, and the smiling axeman, foot against Isphet, pulls his bloodied axe free.  "That is how you dispatch a foolish interloper!"[sblock=16-THUGS]Swordsman 2 attacks G'Sharn, while Axe-guy charges Isphet and attacks.  Note: Isphet is considered flat-footed for this attack, as he was not aware of this new attacker.1. Swordsman 2 - Melee Attack (Shortsword): 18 - MISS!2. Axe-guy - Charge + Melee Attack (Battle Axe): 21 - HITS!3. Axe-guy - Damage Roll: 16[/sblock]Seeing this, Asad somersaults around the embattled and nearly dead swordsman, and tries to finish him off.Asad's maneuver throws off the swordsman's defense, and a shin to the face drops the woozy swordsman to the ground, leaving only the newly arrived axe wielder as a threat.[sblock=15-Asad]Asad uses a move action to tumble around the swordsman into a flank with Avardis (+2 to hit), then attacks.1. Tumble Check vs DC 15: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291181" target="_blank">tumble (1d20+6=18)</a> - SUCCEEDS!2. Melee Attack (Unarmed): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291182" target="_blank">unarmed (1d20+4=24)</a> - THREAT!3.

Damage Roll: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291195" target="_blank">1d6+2=4</a> Nonlethal[/sblock]NOTE: Since the situation has changed, I'm going to have Droban attack the new guy.  I hope that's OK  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Droban, seeing Isphet fall with such a callous and mighty axe blow, sneers at Isphet's killer.  The dwarf flies unwittingly at the axe wielder, swinging his own mighty axe.Droban's rage at seeing his friend die proves to be too much, overwhelming the dwarf and preventing him from skillfully attacking the axe wielder.  His attack misses wide. [sblock=11-Droban]Droban charges the axe-guy (+2 to hit).1. Melee Attack (Dw. Waraxe): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291220" target="_blank">dw waraxe (1d20+6=17)</a> - MISSES!Hey, at least it was a better roll this time![/sblock]The beggar hesitates, too much action for him to keep track of what's going on.  He mutters something and moves towards the sounds of battle.[sblock=6-NPCs]The beggar spends a move action doing something (you can't really tell what), then appears to cast a spell, holding the charge.1. Avardis - Spellcraft Check (identify spell being cast): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291224" target="_blank">spellcraft (1d20+6=18)</a> - FAILS!Avardis, however, is pretty sure the beggar is casting divine spells, thus his difficulty at determining what they are.[/sblock][sblock=HP STATUS]Avardis = 9/9Dirk = 10/10G'Sharn = 4/10Asad = 9/9Isphet = DEAD (-10)Droban = 13/13[/sblock]</blockquote>
