The man looks for a moment as if he is considering fleeing, but he dives back in at Trevor, his blade skittering off of the soldier's armor.The commander pursues Ragnok, and smiles as he sees the dwarf kill one of his men. He immediately strikes, taking advantage of the slight opening that is made as Ragnok tugs his blade free, and slides his longsword through armor, flesh and bone. The dwarf's eyes flutter and he falls to the dusty, bloody floor. "I've failed ye, me brudder," he whispers, and then is quiet.Coraine suffers yet another wound as he battles the Temple guards, and the loss of blood is beginning to takes its toll upon him. Another guard steps around Kurt, and knifes his blade in under the cleric's shield, tearing a gash down his side.Fed up with getting shot at, Verdis hurls another blast at the crossbowman. He is heartened by his success as he sees the man grunt and fall, crashing to the ground in heap."No!" cries Coraine, seeing his brave dwarven companion fall. The palsdin calls out to his god as he steps toward the leader."Heironeous, by your name, guide my blade to justice!" Coraine feels the power of the Shining One fill his body and channel into his blade as he swings his sword. The commader puts his own blade up to block the strike, but the power of Heironeous is too much; Coraine's sword blasts through the man's parry and continues on, cutting across his shoulders to severe the man's head. It goes bouncing across the cold stone floor, leaving a splatter of blood in its wake.As the melee continues, hardly any of the guards take immediate note of their commander's fall, engaged as they are. Dara and Trevor continue to dance away from the blows of the enemy, even as they rally for their own strikes.Dara's falchion finally makes full contact with her foe, cutting through chain and leathers, and deeper. The blades cuts deeply into the man's chest, cleaving ribs and lungs and heart, and slaying him outright.Kurt groans as Ragnok goes down, but he is loathed to use his special abilities just yet. Instead, he applies the wand of CLW to Coraine. Some of Coraine's wounds mend back together, but the paladin is still quite wounded.Angered at the fall of his commander, the guard nearest Coraine strike the paladin a solid blow, and more of the holy warrior's blood splatters to the ground.Round 6 complete above.OOC: So far this round, the rolls have kind of went against you...sorry.OOC2: Actually, it looks like things may have balanced out!OOC3: Legildur, I had Ragnok attack the guard instead of the leader because he had a much better chance of dropping him in one attack (which he did). I felt that the greatest threat to the PCs isn't the leader himself, but the number of enemies, so anything to reduce th amount of opponents is beneficial to you.Initiative Count26 Trevor - longsword vrs G7 19 (success), damage 11<s>21 Guard g - 5' step, longsword vrs Ragnok "20" (threat), confirm 26 (critical), damage 15</s>20 Guard b - longsword vrs Coraine 22 (success), damage 419 Guard h - 5' step, longsword vrs Kurt "20" (threat), confirm "1" (failure), damage 617 Guard 7 - longsword vrs Trevor 18 (failure)16 Coraine - 5' step, smite evil, longsword vrs Gg 31 (threat), confirm 29 (critical), damage 2416 Guard 8 - 5' step, longsword vrs Trevor 12 (failure)14 Verdis - eldritch blast (ranged touch) vrs Ge 29 (threat), confirm 12 (critical); damage 14<s>14 Guard 5 - longsword vrs Dara 16 (failure)</s>13 Dara - falchion vrs G5 17 (success), damage 1413 Kurt - wand of cure light wounds vrs Coraine, healing 510 Guard f - 5' step, longsword vrs Coraine 20 (success), damage 906 Guard 3 - longsword vrs Dara 14 (failure)03 Ragnok - [UNCONSCIOUS]<s>03 Guard e -</s>PC StatusDara 17/29; shield for AC22 r7/30, combat expertise for AC24Verdis 11/22Trevor 09/30Kurt 14/31Coraine 04/36Ragnok -4/41; unconscious[sblock=Opponent Status]Guard 1 DEADGuard 2 DEADGuard 3Guard 4 DEADGuard 5 DEADGuard 6 -20; unconsciousGuard 7 -11Guard 8 -14Guard a DEADGuard bGuard c -21, unconsciousGuard d -21, unconsciousGuard e -20, unconscuousGuard fGuard g DEAD[/sblock]-MAP (updated through current initiative count)-</blockquote>
