Realizing that holding the corridor has become Untenable, he steps back toward his companions.The commander cries out to his men. "Surround them. Cut them down!" He moves to engage Ragnok, and finds a chink in the dwarf's plate armor, scoring a bloody wound on his flesh. "Surrender, intruders, and I will see that your deaths are swift!"Steel on steel rings out, echoing within the large stone chamber as the Temple guards attempt to surround you. Dara, Trevor and Coraine all dodge and parry skillfully; Coraine finds himself in a bad position, flanked by a pair of the guards, and a moment later one of their blades opens a wound along his arm. Trevor too finds himself surrounded, and suffers another wound as he fights for his life against one too many foes."By the blade of Heironious -- you will NOT prevail!" shouts the paladin before his blade slashes out in a wicked arc at the wounded guard before him, taking the man down. He shouts to Ragnok -- "Stand shoulder to shoulder with me once more, my friend, and let us put down these fools for their corrupt lives and bereft souls!"Not likly the way this battle is shaping up, Verdis falls back, climbing straight up the wall, before tossing an Eldrich Blast at a guard. The man is staggered and burnt by the blast, but remains on his feet.Another guard circles around Trevor to strike at Dara, but her mystic protections keep his blade from finding flesh.Seeing how Trevor will need some help soon enough, Dara tries to remain calm and focus on cutting herself through to him with powerful swings of her falchion, while keeping a defensive stance to hold out longer against these overwhelming odds. The guard before her skillfully avoids her swings, smiling all the while.With a critical eye, Kurt laments thir current tactical positioning, but nonetheless lends his sword to the battle. He scores a hit upon his target, opening a wound across the guards shoulder.Guards surge around Ragnok, attacking the dwarf. One seems much more skilled than the others, and his longsword slices another wound across the dour dwarf's body. Despite his wounds, Ragnok manages to slash one of the guards with his axe before stepping back to form up with Coraine.The last of the guards sheaths his blade and unlimbers the crossbow on his back, his eyes locked on the wall-climbing Verdis.Round 1 complete above.Initiative Count26 Trevor - [NPC] longsword vrs G7 10 (failure); AoO vrs G8 15 (failure)21 Guard g - move, longsword vrs Ragnok 22 (success), damage 820 Guard b - 5' step, longsword vrs Coraine 10 (failure)19 Guard h - move, longsword vrs Dara 18 (failure)18 Guard c - 5' step, longsword vrs Coraine 11 (failure)17 Guard 7 - longsword vrs Trevor 12 (failure)17 Guard a - 5' step, [flanking Coraine] longsword vrs Coraine 25 (success), damage 517 Guard 4 - 5' step, [flanking Trevor] longsword vrs Trevor 18 (failure)16 Coraine - 2 pt power attack vrs Gc 18 (success), damage 1116 Guard 8 - move [provokes AoO from Trevor], longsword vrs Trevor 22 (success), damage 714 Verdis - eldritch blast [ranged touch] vrs G4 16 (success), damage 714 Guard 5 - move, longsword vrs Dara 21 (failure)13 Dara - combat expertise [2], draw falchion, 2 pt power attack vrs G2 8 (failure)13 Kurt - longsword vrs Ga 18 (success), damage 611 Guard d - 5' step, longsword vrs Ragnok 10 (failure)10 Guard f - 5' step, longsword vrs Ragnok 21 (success), damage 1010 Guard 2 - longsword vrs Dara "1" (failure)06 Guard 3 - longsword vrs Dara 16 (failure)05 Guard 6 - move03 Ragnok - attack Gd 17 (success), damage 1003 Guard e - sheaths sword, draws crossbowPC StatusDara 25/29; shield for AC22 r2/30, combat expertise for AC24Verdis 20/22Trevor 13/30Kurt 26/31Coraine 27/36Ragnok 23/41[sblock=Opponent Status]Guard 1 -17; unconsciousGuard 2Guard 3Guard 4 -13Guard 5Guard 6Guard 7Guard 8Guard a -6Guard bGuard c -16, unconsciousGuard d -10Guard eGuard fGuard g[/sblock]-MAP (Updated through current initiative count)-</blockquote>
