ROUND 1
Liracor springs into action first, and weaves his way deeper into the alley. He brings his now-enchanted blade to bear on the nearest thug, and deals a mighty blow that tears right through the street tough's padded armor.
(Liracor hits thug #2 with his longsword for 11 damage.)
Jon's psionic assault hums forth, assailing the mind of the targeted thug. He reels briefly, but then somehow the ruffian manages to shake off the painful effect.
(Jon uses Mind Thrust against Thug #1. The thug makes a successful Will save against DC 15.)
Flannad keeps his bow nocked, and hangs to the back of the alley, ready to make a shot if a good opportunity presents itself. As he waits for his chance, he attempts to remain unseen.
(Legildur, in the narrow confines of this alley, it's a tough shot to try and hit one of the attackers through the crowd. Flannad would have to contend with +4 cover bonuses to the enemies' AC, as well as the -4 penalty for firing into melee. So, I've ruled that he holds fast, with his attack readied. Hopefully, that matches you intent.)(Flannad readies a ranged attack with shortbow, to be taken if a clear shot opens up.)[/size]
Arak moves forward and swings at the closest thug, who is already bleeding profusely from Liracor's attack. The young paladin's greatsword deals only a grazing blow, but it proves too much for the thug, who collapses, mortally wounded.
(Arak moves and attacks thug #2, hitting for 5 damage. Thug 2 falls, dying.)
Enraged by the felling of their companion, the remaining thugs move to counterattack. The first steps up and jabs with his shortsword at Liracor, but misses the duskblade. The second circles around his now-forgotten victim and brings his blade to bear on Arak, but the thrust is turned aside by the paladin's banded mail.
(Thug #1 takes a step, then attacks Liracor, but misses. Thug #3 moves and attacks Arak, but misses.)
Disappointed that her warning has not been heeded, Dowlee tries to get off a shot with her longbow. She nocks and fires, but her aim is spoiled by the presence of Liracor and Arak in front of her target. The arrow misses badly.
(Dowlee makes a ranged attack w/ longbow vs. Thug #1, but misses. The thug has soft cover from Liracor, and the penalty for firing into melee also hurt the roll.)
Remen seeks to grab ahold of one of the thugs, but finds his access blocked by Arak and Liracor, now standing shoulder to shoulder within the alley. The barbarian holds his ground for now, frustrated that his appeals against bloodshed have not been heeded, so far.
(Remen readies his grapple action, but is unable to move into position to take that action right now.)
The attack victim, meanwhile, takes a step backwards away from his assailants, and cries out, "St. Cuthbert, grant these good souls your favor, that they might deliver your servant from harm!" A feeling of fearlessness washes over the party as the man prays.
(The attack victim takes a step, then casts Bless.)
