He stands to face the three soldiers in your boat, crooning softly and gesturing with one of his beloved dagger flutes, which whistles in the air in accompanyment. Two of the soldiers immediately slump into unconsciousness. The third, the one who switched places with Kajalaketh, appears to be made of sterner stuff. He fires his bow at Xavier as the scout pushes past, but the arrow clatters uselessly against Xavier’s mithril shirt. Calabas seems oblivious to Xavier’s urging and continues to huddle in terror by the pilot chair.Meanwhile, Sanae, driven by righteous fury, has vaulted onto the deck, surprising the massed archers there. One of them falls before her blade before he can even turn to face the threat. Kajalaketh looks furious, and more than a little scared, as he backs away towards the bow of the boat. Both Sanae and Borden can see a faint shimmering glow suddenly appear around him. The four archers nearest Sanae take a step back and fire at nearly point blank range. Their panic at her onslaught is evident in that only one arrow finds its target, lodging itself firmly in Sanae’s leg. They drop their bows and draw their scimitars. The rest of the archers fire at Borden, the only target they can see. Their shots all fly wide of their marks. Borden, unshaken by the arrows whizzing around him, calls upon the Sovereigns to curse his enemy. There is no apparent effect. The crew of the boat moves to the other side, out of the range of combat, but seems to be making no moves to help either side. The remaining soldier in your boat drops his bow and draws his sword, taking a step towards Xavier. ‘he has no name’ steps into the soldier’s path and silently calls on his powers to give him insight. Everyone is far too distracted to react to Erin, so she has no trouble reaching Eff Flat. The warforged’s plates temporarily thicken under her infusion.Initiative OrderEff Flat 16Sanae 16Kajalaketh 12Xavier 10 (higher DEX)Soldiers 10‘he has no name’ 8Borden 3Erin 1Sanae takes 8 HP damage. I don’t see the spell Borden was casting on his list of memorized spells – let me know at the beginning of the day if you’re going to change from that default configuration. My apologies if you already did – I admit I didn’t go back to check.At the end of the round, ‘he has no name,’ and Eff Flat more or less have the single conscious soldier surrounded. Xavier is behind 'he has no name,' right next to the pilot's chair. Erin is behind Eff Flat and Borden is still in the bow of the boat. Sanae is surrounded by four archers on the deck of the patrol boat (new map later today, time permitting).</blockquote>
