You turn, just as a large group of men-at-arms, clad in chainmail, with shield and longsword, and surcoats of utter black, charge in from the northern corridor. Only a moment later, a ten foot section of the stone wall to the east slides open, and another group of similarly dressed warriors rush into the room.A voice bellows from behind the initial wave of troups to the east. "Slay the infidels. For our glory, and the greater glory of the Temple!""Only 16 of you guards?  You'd better call for some backup quickly then!" says Trevor gleefully. The Aerdian moves north to engage the foe, plunging his sword through the abdomen of the first of the black-clad guardsmen, dropping the man to the ground.Despite Trevor's words, the guards press into the room. One moves into the chamber, immediately distiguishable by the trio of red skulls stitched upon his cloak. He points a finger at your group and commands the men to attack, even as he hurls a dagger with his free hand; the blade catches Coraine unprepared and offguard, and sinks deep into the paladin's shoulder, piercing through a joint in his armor.More of the guards rush into the room behind the apparent commander. One slashes at Coraine with his sword, but the blade is deflected by the paladin's armor. Another guard moves through the crush, slashing a deep cut into Trevor's side. Another attacks Dara, but his blade is turned by her fine mithril shirt. One moves, pushing past Trevor, and the rogue takes advantage of this to open a bloody wound across the man's hip; ignoring the wound, the guard attacks Verdis, but the shallow wound his blade leaves upon the warlock's body is little more than a scratch.Angered by the leader's sneaky attack, but having no easy way to reach him, Coraine decides to cut his way through to the man. His longsword strikes the nearest guard, wounding the man through his chainmail armor."It never rains, it pours," grumbles Verdis as he steps back and fires the crossbow in his hands at the nearest attacker. Unfortunately, his foot slips in the blood on the floor from the previous battle and his shot goes wild. “Uh, oh.” Stepping away from the nearest guard, Dara invokes a spell to provide her with additional protection in the coming battle.Kurt steps behind Coraine and heals the paladin. "Pull back against the wall!" he calls to the others, worried that they will be surrounded.Guards continue to pour into the room. Several engage Dara, and despite her mystical protections still manages to score a flesh wound upon the woman. One assaults Trevor, but the wily soldier avoids the guard's weapon.Ragnok roars a battlecry, and charges forward heedlessly, Norryjar raised above his head. The guard calmly waits for the dwarf, though, and sidesteps his savage strike at the last minute.No surprise; round 1 begins!Initiative Count26 Trevor - move, longsword vrs G1 19 (success), damage 16; AoO vrs G4 23 (success), damage 6(Note to Leif: You forgot Trevor's sneak attack damage, which applies when attacking a flat-footed opponent)21 Guard g - move, dagger vrs Coraine 27 (success), damage 1420 Guard b - move19 Guard h - move18 Guard c - move, longsword vrs Coraine 14 (failure)17 Guard 7 - move, longsword vrs Trevor 26 (threat), confirm crit 11 (failure), damage 917 Guard a - move, longsword vrs Dara 14 (failure)17 Guard 4 - move (provokes AoO from Trevor), longsword vrs Verdis 15 (success), damage 2 (3-1DR)16 Coraine - [NPCing] longsword vrs Gc 18 (success), damage 516 Guard 8 - move<s>15 Guard 1</s>14 Verdis - 5'step, crossbow vrs G4 10 (failure)14 Guard 5 - move13 Dara - 5' step, cast shield13 Kurt - 5'step, spontaneously cast cure light wounds (dropping ?), healing Coraine for 10 points11 Guard d - move10 Guard f - move10 Guard 2 - move, longsword vrs Dara 24 (threat), confirm 20 (failure), damage 406 Guard 3 - move, longsword vrs Dara 7 (failure)05 Guard 6 - move, longsword vrs Trevor 11 (failure)03 Ragnok - charge action, 2 pt. power attack vrs Gd 14 (failure)03 Guard ePC StatusDara 25/29; shield for AC22 r1/30Verdis 20/22Trevor 20/30Kurt 26/31Coraine 32/36Ragnok 41/41[sblock=Opponent Status]Guard 1 -16; unconsciousGuard 4 -6Guard c -5[/sblock]-MAP (Updated through current initiative count)-</blockquote>
