Trevor spins into another attack routine, and is rewarded with a gush of bright blood as his blade tears into the guard's chest and drops him to the ground.There leader having fled, and most of their companions having fallen, the moral of the guards finally begins to break down. Another flees to the north, but as he does his nearby companion manages to drive his blade through Kurt's armor, opening another gash in the cleric's bloody body.His mind still moving in slow motion, the young paladin throws his shield to the ground and grasps two hands around the hilt of his blade. Here is where he would make his stand, and with the Shining One's blessing, he will bring these villians low. Stepping to face the unwounded guard engaged with Kurt, Coraine raises the sword high into the air and brings it down with all his might upon his foe. The blade tears deeply into the man's chest, cutting flesh and ribs, and sending the man sprawling into a pool of his own blood.Grinning in spite of himself as the fight turns in favor of his companions, Verdis tosses another Eldritch at the nearest foe. As it misses he curses. Maybe the odd angle of blasting from overhead is screwing up my aim?As the first guard flees the room, and the one close to her seems to be willing to follow suit, Dara runs past him hoping for her magical shield to protect her enough for the moment she has to let her guard slip and heads out of the room the same way as the first fleeing guard.[sblock=Fpr Thanee]Dara runs right up on the man, who is busy running his hand along what looks to the warrior woman as a solid stone wall.Hearing Dara rush up on his back, and realizing he can't escape, the man turns to face her, and in his anger manages to break her defenses, cutting a wound across her stomach.[/sblock]Kurt chides himself for a minor tactical error and promises to learn the lesson should he survive his current predicament. But he knows their survival depends on the wand in his possession and it's timely application. Stepping south and using his wand on Ragnok, he sees the dwarf's worst wounds begin to mend, and his breathing becomes more regular. He remains unconscious, however.The last remaining guard runs off to the north as well, having seen Dara move to the east.Round 8 complete above.Initiative Count26 Trevor - longsword vrs G7 25 (success), damage 720 Guard b - [WITHDRAWS]19 Guard h - longsword vrs Kurt 23 (success), damage 6<s>17 Guard 7 - </s>16 Coraine - drop shield, 5' step, PA[2] longsword vrs Gh 19 (success), damage 1714 Verdis - eldritch blast vrs G3 (failure)13 Dara - double move (provoke AoO from G3; also, 40' move only got you to N21)13 Kurt - 5' step, wand of cure light wounds vrs Ragnok, healing 510 Guard f - longsword vrs Dara "20" (threat), confirm 20 (failure), damage 906 Guard 3 - AoO vrs Dara 19 (failure); [FLEEING]03 Ragnok - [UNCONSCIOUS]PC StatusDara 08/29; shield for AC22 r9/30Verdis 11/22Trevor 03/30Kurt 03/31Coraine 11/36Ragnok -1/41; unconscious, stable[sblock=Opponent Status]Guard 1 DEADGuard 2 DEADGuard 3Guard 4 DEADGuard 5 DEADGuard 6 -22; unconsciousGuard 7 -18; unconsciousGuard 8 -26; unconsciousGuard a DEADGuard bGuard c -23, unconsciousGuard d -23, unconsciousGuard e -22, unconsciousGuard f -13, fleeingGuard g DEADGuard h -17, unconscious[/sblock]-MAP (updated through current initiative count)-</blockquote>
