The blow catces the swordsman off guard, staggering him as it cuts through armor and flesh. Zedd quickly pulls his own sword and strikes back, wounded the buly humanoid.Seril quickly fires off two arrows as he steps away from the nearest bugbear. One of the arrows penetrates the creature's armor, and the already burnt bugbear lets out a cry of pain.Grazzuk swears in goblin and charges at Helios, determined to put the tricksome wizard in a shallow grave. The axe strikes hard, but Helios' spell allows him to whether the assault none the worse for wear.Another bugbear assaults Abel, but the cleric wards off the blow with his shield. Talshia is not so lucky, and takes a deep wound to her thigh as she tries to dodge out of the way.Talshia scoots back in a hurry, hastily moving her hands in arcane patterns and chanting words. A bright spark springs from her outstretched finger and bursts among them in a brilliant spray of shimmering particles. Unfortunately, she is only able to catch her opponent and the bugbear attacking Zeddicus within the area of her spell. Talshia's foe is blinded by the spell, but the bugbear fighting Zeddicus is able to brush off the effects.Irritated by Helios's deceptive actions, Abel hefts his heavy mace and swings at the bugbear that just attacked him, swearing at Helios the whole time. The mace glances off the bugbear's armor.Another bugbear attacks Sandor but stumbles as he moves, nearly going down in the rubble. Sandor attacks this bugbear, using his longspear. Wolf attacks the same foe, but is unable to penetrate the scales of the creature's armor with his teeth."Well I certainly wasn't gonna give these furballs 600 gold for directions. But you're right. I really should've just charmed them when we arrived." Helios replies in Talashar. He then pulls out a new wand, while stepping back, and points it a Grazzuk, intoning its command word "Buh-Dee!". Switching back to common, he says, "I know you're steamed and maybe a little crispy but the smart thing to do now is surrender and join our warband Grazzuk blinks his eyes several times, but then growls and shakes his head as he breaks free of Helios' spell.The last bugbear chases after Seril, determined to get payback for the arrow in his chest. A sideways swipe of his greataxe catches the elf, cutting a jagged wound across his chest.Thanks for adding Wolf, Ks!Initiative CountBB3 19 - attack vrs Zedd 25 (success), damage 13; wil save 19 (success)Seril 17 - attack vrs BB6 24 (success), damage 14; attack vrs BB6 14 (failure)Zeddicus 17 - attack vrs BB3 "20" (threat), confirm 16 (failure), damage 8Grazzuk 16 - attack vrs Helios 23 (success), damage 10; will save vrs charm person 20 (success)BB2 16 - attack vrs Abel 18 (failure)BB4 15 - attack vrs Talshia 22 (success), damage 9; will save 9 (failure)Talshia 14 - cast glitterdust vrs B4 and B3Abel 13 - attack vrs BB2 14 (failure)BB5 12 - attack vrs Sandor "1" (failure)Wolf 11 - attack vrs BB5 15 (failure)Sandor 10 - attack vrs BB5 11 (failure)Helios 9 - charm person vrs GrazzukBB6 7 - attack vrs Seril 23 (success), damage 13Current PC Status:Seril 27/40Helios 35/31, AC17, mage armor (4h00m), false life (4h00m)Abel 37/37Sandor 38/38Zeddicus 19/38Talshia 17/26, AC16 (I'm assuming Talshia cast Mage Armor at some point?), mage armor (4h10m)[sblock=Opponent Status - Players don't look!]Grazzuk 34/46BB2 28/28BB3 20/28BB4 22/28BB5 28/28BB6 2/28[/sblock]Also, next time we have combat, I will try to at least throw together a quick battle map so that you'll know everyone's positions.</blockquote>
