In a stunning display of swordsmanship, made somewhat less stunning by the webbing of slime hampering his attacks, Cagthail hammers through the guard's upraised mace, and virtually runs him through.  The guard collapses against the wall, conscious, but on his last legs. (OOC: I really need to stop rolling for you guys...  poor NPCs...   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />   Anyway, you got one natural 20 for 9 points enough of damage, enough to put the guard in disabled territory.)At Feiran's signal, the large tiger who is a newcomer to the fight bounds to the top of a nearby pile of crates and slinks along them, before coming to a momentary stop baring his fangs at the offending guard below.(OOC: Since guard 3 moved, Terak doesn't get an attack this round.  He'll be able to make a full attack next round with pounce, however.  Terak is the strange mass of Ts and ts on the map, atop two D-size piles of crates.)Mathilde, seemingly stupefied by the confusion, is very slow to attack.  She swings her mace down toward the guard in front of her, but he quails from her giant mace and avoids the attack through sheer luck.(OOC: Rolled under "Adinal", you slow, slow person.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> )Narine looks about for the nearest exit, but doesn't spot one.  As far as you know, the exit to the bar is still intact, but it's all the way over there and you are all the way here.  Well, there's always the hard way...With a snap of thunder, a bolt of energy arcs around Narine's fingers at the same time that a bolt of crossbow springs from the weapon of the guard who has been waiting for just this event.  The bolt darts across the room and snags Narine's leg on its way past.  It seems to hit with much less force than you were expecting, but the damage is still enough to cause Narine's lightning attack to dissipate.(OOC: Narine takes 9 damage from the attack.  I rolled a Concentration check for you, and got a 4.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />   Sorry.  Also, a question about the 15%.  I take it you want me to roll it?  Also, does wild surge kick in if the effect is disrupted?)The fire in the center of the warehouse continues to worsen, crackling over the din of battle.  There seems to be something not-entirely-flammable in there as well, because it's putting off a huge amount of choking black smoke, further obscuring events.(OOC: It's basically a half-strength pyrotechnics at this point.  Everyone within 20 feet of the little fs make a Fortitude save to avoid suffering a -2 penalty on Strength and Dexterity.  Everyone in the area also has concealment.)(OOC: I think that's everything.  Also, since rounds are actually more-or-less simultaneous affairs, I'm letting everyone demand surrender or whatever you want to do, along the lines of what Cagthail said, if you so choose.  Lowering your weapons will give a -2 penalty to your first attack next round, but a +2 bonus on any checks made to convince them to stop trying to kill/capture you.)</blockquote>
