[QUOTE="Malvoisin, post: 4152193, member: 40128"] [b]Combat Round 2[/b] Upon seeing the disturbingly gleeful half-orc enter, Karastro reacts first, raising his loaded crossbow and taking aim at the brute. Unfortunately, his aim is a bit off, and the bolt slams into the rail of the catwalk with an audible 'thunk.' Gadeann ignores the blood welling from the wound on his thigh, even as it drips down his leg, staining his already ragged leather breeches. The Shoanti bends down to recover his longaxe, sheathing his dogslicer as he does so. Although the weapon literally lived up to its names, the warrior would rather face this newcomer from a distance. Fayne readies his axe to meet the half-orc. [color=sienna]"Come and meet death,"[/color] he calls to the foeman. Girri holds her poultice ready, and waits for an opportunity to get closer and see what is occurring within the fishery. With one last glance to the Varsian girl, Coldan shoves his way efficiently through the others. Dropping his sunrod at the feet of the little mage---[COLOR=Silver]"Keep this"[/COLOR]---the big man began to mount the stairs towards the half-orc. With an an angry hiss, he pulls free his steel blade, and in a cold voice utters a challenge:[COLOR=Silver] "The Hells await those that suffer my wrath."[/COLOR] [b]"The days of Gobblegut are over you smiling fiend! We free these children tonight!"[/b] Orman leaps lithely up the stairs to stab the grinner, but as he reaches the catwalk, the swashbuckler misses his footing. The thrust of his rapier comes nowhere near its intended target. Edlin steps a bit further into the room to get a better look at the half-orc above. Seeing an opportunity to help Orman, the words of an arcane spell form upon the diviner's lips. The gambler can't help but smirk as the foe goes slack-jawed and stares vacantly. The spell has taken root within the enemy's feeble mind, Edlin knows. With the doorway now clear, Girri seizes her chance. She bolts forward, hot on Coldan's heels. Pressing after the knight into the edge of the fray, Girri spies what she can of the bedlam inside: two dogs dead, a knot of frightened Lamms, and the sneering half-breed cur. Seeing blood spilled on the floor, Girri stays out of the melee while simultaneously observing the nasty bite wound in the Shoanti's leg. Acting quickly, she presses her dung poultice upon the man's wound, and nods in satisfaction as the bloodflow stops and the wounds vanish. For his part, the scarred half-orc can only stare blankly at Orman before him, enthralled by Edlin's enchantment. Soft giggles emanate from his mouth as he stares. [color=magenta]"Hee hee hee..."[/color] From somewhere beyond the upper doors to the west, a man's voice rings out in an angry shout. Clearly, more defenders of Lamm's hideout will be arriving soon.

[sblock=Crunch] Karastro, readied action, fires crossbow at half-orc, misses. Gadeann sheathes dogslicer and retrieves poleaxe. Girri delays. Coldan moves, drawing sword, issues knight's challenge, and readies an attack. Orman moves and attacks the half-orc, misses. Edlin moves and casts Daze on the half-orc, Will save fails.
