Message: <blockquote data-quote="jkason" data-source="post: 5801834" data-attributes="member: 2710">[sblock=Quioan]Quioan catches snippets of conversation. A voice he thinks belongs to Elenka asks about him in Sylvan. Then the unimistakable, deep and resonant baritone of Garthia:"Despair, heathens. I've killed your friend, and you'll all soon join him!" As Quioan looks down the hall, he sees one of the priests move a step in, stabbing his rapier at an unseen opponent. The other holds his ground, and Quioan can make out a hulking form with which this cultist engages. A rapier stabs right in the creature's center, but it still stands.<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/jkason/Quioan2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[gm]Quioan up[/gm][/sblock][sblock=All others]Audra's fists fly, though it only takes the first to crumple the acolyte to the ground.[gm]The first flurry hurts enough to put the acolyte to Dying. As a result, the other two can hit (due to dex penalties / attack bonuses for helpless creatures). The damage from those two would be enough to move him from Dying to Dead, but I'm going to leave it up to you, Artur, if Audra would continue to pummel a man once he's down. Don't want to make assumptions on that score. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> [/gm]Elenka, meanwhile, dashes around the worship hall, aided by her supernaturally-enhanced speed. The hound, forced to choose between targets, and having found Yoshiki so difficult to catch in its jaws, opts to attack the summoner. She, too, proves too swift for the snapping jaws. Sensing the danger, the beast scuttles slightly back up the stairs."Despair, heathens. I've killed your friend, and you'll all soon join him!" calls an answer to Elenka's question, though it isn't from Yoshiki, and it's unclear if the speaker even understood her. Garthia stands at the head of the stairs, glaring down on the scene. Whatever may or may not have happened to Quioan, however, it's clear to all of you that Garthia's lying about having killed him.The new priests take in the quickly-deteriorating condition of the battle, and had begun to shrink back. The arrival of a herald emboldens them."You take the girl, I'll take this ... thing," the southernmost priest says to his partner. The man moves to obey, but the sight of his fellow cultists falling apparently shakes him, and he fails to connect.The more vocal priest does much better, his rapier skewering the elemental neatly, though again its otherworldly nature saves it. Cracks show across its form, large hunks of rock crumbling off it, but the creature still stands.[sblock=Actions and status]Hound: Attack Elenka, miss. 5' step to P5Priest 3: 5' step to J5, attack Audra.
