COMBAT, round 1
The four elementals move with lightning swiftness, dropping down upon you before you can react. They swoop in on you, buffeting Verdis and Ragnok with enough force to bruise flesh and break bone, and in an instant are back in the air and out of the reach of your weapons...
Trevor says, "Come on, now, Mr. Crusher, and show these, as Verdis says, 'Overblown farts,' who is boss around here!" Not convinced that even his magic warhammer will be able to strike these creatures of air, Trevor nevertheless makes his most valiant effort to smash the one nearest him.
The warlock spins on is attacker and unleashes a blast of magic at it. The blast slams into the elemental and Verdis grins, wiping a little blood from his lip where the elemental buffeted him. "How to you like it you overblown fart?" he calls.
Dara, having no ranged weapon at her disposal, and not yet willing to use her spells on these elementals, moves into position to be able to strike at one of them, hopefully.
"Paladins - always meddling. And now we've got a fight on our hands. Hah! Good on you, lad!"" Ragnok draws and throws a hammer in one smooth motion, targetting the creature which attacked him. He then moves to cover Verdis, hoping to protect the warlock from further attack.
Kurt draws his longsword and hefts his shield, his eyes tracking the nearest elemental as he waits for it to draw near.
Coraine reacts similarly to his companions, drawing his blade and waiting for one of the elementals to close within striking range.
Guys, for ease in combat and to try to speed things up, I'm going to try using group initiatives. Basically it will be d20 + (average initiative bonus of the PCs) vrs d20 + (average initiative bonus of the NPCs). I hope this is okay. With that said, PCs are up!
