((OOC: Hafrogman, I used the 20% miss chance, but I did forget about his cold iron DR... you get to add an HP now... so go tank belhander with your bad 15 hp havin' self))
Liam makes a snap choice and blasts the Vile Guard, hoping that, being on wobbly legs, he'll fall. The Eldritch energy splashes over him and envelopes him. The guard cries out and topples over like a stack of children's blocks pushed over.
With the guard dropping before him, Sel turns his attention on the traitor. "You have already lost, Belhander, at least your lackeys should realize that." He taunts, trying to divert the man's attention from the Good King Promus. Sel moves forward quickly, as only an elf can, and gets between Belhander and the King. The elf lunges at the vizier but the human is very swift and agile for a man his age, and he easily sidesteps the rapier and steps toward Sel'Tarien. The first dagger grazes Sel but the second misses completely as Sel also sidesteps. Even though the cut of the dagger barely hit the elf, it is still a Vile blade... but one that does not need to be activated with Praise of their lord, Movak. Sel feels the sting, but then sees the blade glow as it absorbs something from him that flows back into Belhander, healing him ever so slightly. ((2 points of damage (minimum), Belhander heals half that)) The elf feels the evil of the blade wash up his arm and into his body but he is able to battle back the vile images with no other ill effects.
The clicking of heavy crossbows being cranked to armed ends.
"LOOK OUT! CROSSBOWS!" Jaeden shouts from the doorway, not realizing you are more than aware of the cursed bolts. Jaeden and Gemble appear at the doorway. King Promus looks around him and sees the openings on the end of the room where he is that leads behind the walls to where the crossbowmen are firing through the murderholes. The king steps behind one side. "You men there, put down those weapons!" The king orders

Sel, worried about the king, stabs at Belhander once more, and if this drops the traitor, hurries to King Promus and exclaims to the crossbowmen "Belhander has fallen. Drop your weapons as the king commanded." in the hope to be able to shield the king if the crossbowmen are too fanatic.
If the traitor does not fall from his attack, Sel will try to signal his companions to look after the king.

Liam 15/20
Liam spares barely a glance for Gemble and Jaeden as he makes for the king, hoping to provide some measure of threat beyond the unarmed monarch.
"See to Krueger!"
He stands by the king, energy crackling from his fingers as he regards them with silent anger.
[sblock=ooc]Move to the king. Ready an action to blast the first archer that doesn't drop his crossbow.[/sblock]

Sel'Tarien lunges at the foul traitor... but this man is even more skilled an nimble than the Vile Guard he had just faced. Fortunately, Sel also is skilled and nimble... and now armed with a bit of knowledge of the other man's fighting style. Liam moves to try to get to the King's side after alerting the newly arriving Jaeden and Gemble to Krueger's near fatal situation (He's at -8 hps right now)
"SHOOT THE KING! END HIS REIGN AND USHER IN THE NEW ERA!" Belhander shouts victoriously as he sees the Good King step behind the wall. Then, seeing Liam moving to the King's side, he leaps at the warloch. "No, you will not, tainted soul." Belhander stabs Liam in the side as Sel siezes the opportunity and lunges, driving his own blade into Belhander's ribs as he passes by to get to Liam.
The visions swirl again in Liam's head, threatening to overtake him. But he's seen this horror before and overcome it (Though, the ghostly images haunt him still) and does not succumb.
"HE'S DYING!" Jaeden shouts, more out of desperation than that of a man trying to alert others to a desperate situation. Gemble moves in like a trained paramedic, quickly and calmly attending to the wounds of the dwarf. His hands work quickly as he tries to stop the precious blood's final drop.
Two crossbow bolts smash into the wall next to Gemble and Jaeden as the two archers fire, hastily changing targets not wanting to see the dwarf gain his feet and strength again. Jaeden sees the work of the halfling and turns his body to try to provide cover for them, quickly casting a warding spell to help assist him in not getting hit too greiviously.
The two guards holding heavy crossbows hear the words of their traitorous master but stand dumbfounded looking at the King, not sure what they should do.
Sel'Tarien: Attacks Belhander but misses rolling a total of 13. Attack of Opportunity against Belhander rolling a total of 21 and hitting doing a total of 10 points of damage.
Liam: Moves to the King's side. Hit by Belhander with a total roll of 19 and takes 7 points of damage (belhander healed 3). Save vs. Horrific Visions total Fort roll of 18 for a save. Will attempt second save on original horrific visions effect next round.
King Promus: Uses "Command" skill on guards to stay their actions. ((This is a "Noble Package" ability that he (or any noble) would have in a setting COMPLETELY in my world))

Sel tries to take advantage of Belhander's attempt to reach Liam and strikes him again.
(If Belhander does drop this time, Sel will try to get to the other crossbowmen and tell them to drop their weapons.)

Liam 8/20
Liam grits his teeth against the pain of his wounds and staggers away from the traitor, his held blast quickly turned towards Belhander. Anger flashes across his face and he stands up straight for a moment, facing down his attacker.
"YOU would dare to call ME tainted?!"
He spits contemptuously in the face of the vizier and follows it up with another blast of energy.
[sblock=ooc]Attempt to 5' step away from Belhander
+6 touch attack; 2d6+1 damage[/sblock]

Belhander laughs as he wipes the spittle from his cheek with the back of his hand. "Your tainted blood, which gives your your power. You really ought to join us. I know Lord Movak could find great use for one such as you." Belhander offers as he twists to parry Sel'Tarien's thrust and repost with a strike the elf also parries.
Liam steps back from Belhander and fires off another Eldritch blast that strikes the Vizier in the shoulder. His face winces in agony as he begins to look somewhat less than himself and much more ragged, tired and hurt.
"Put down those crossbows, men. I realize that you have not so much betrayed me as you fell under the sly words my brother wove to you. There is nothing you have done thus far that cannot be undone. But you must put down your weapons."
The guard to the right turns and looks at his companion. He turns and points his crossbow at the other guard. "Drop your crossbow, Halcyon, and join, with me, the King." The second crossbowman, the one named Halcyon, looks shocked as he turns and looks in the face of the other. "Thomas, you're serious? We are traitors, the king will not pardon our actions."
"I've never felt good about this, Hal. I... I don't know how I went along with Movak's plan. By Vomadar, I needed the money though. I'll accept the King's punishment, but I'll betray Him nor Enberton any more." Thomas replies. "Now drop the weapon."
Halcyon drops the crossbow almost immediately as he see the truth in his friend's eyes and knows that Thomas would fire.
"My Lord," Thomas says, dropping to a knee and bowing his head. "I cannot even begin to explain myself. I am at your mercy."
"TRAITOR!" Belhander screams as he hears the guard's words. "LORD MOVAK WILL HAVE YOU FOR THIS!"
Sel'Tarien: Attacks Belhander but misses rolling a total of 9 ((eek)) and misses. Belhander attacks Sel but rolls only a 12 and also misses.
Liam: Blasts Belhander with his Eldritch power rolling 16 total on a ranged touch attack and doing 9 points of damage.

"Odd words coming out of the mouth of a ...traitor." Sel'Tarien offers as he continues his melee with the vizier.

Bolts from the murderholes on the other side come flying out at Jaeden and Gemble, who is still working over the dwarf. Jaeden does his best to shield Gemble and Krueger and takes two bolts into his own body. "I can't do this much longer without being right beside Krueger." Jaeden says to the halfling. Gemble pulls out a vial from inside his coat, some inner pocket, and hands it to Jaeden. "Alchemist's Fire! This'll do nicely!" The bard says, accepting the vial from Gemble. He darts over to the closest murderhole and drops the vial inside. Immediately, it bursts into flames and two screams are heard as the clothes of the two guards on the other side ignite.
Sel'Tarien Lunges as Belhander makes his own cut, but Sel saw the move coming and ducked under it as he made his own attack. However, the ducking dipped the tip of his rapier some, causing him to miss the heart and catch the vizier in the ribs.
Liam let's fly another blast of Eldritch energy, which makes the traitor cry out. He is looking very drained now, and gritting his teeth in pain.
From behind the wall, Thomas comes out, crossbow armed and firing a shot at Belhander. The bolt barely misses, but definately gets the Vizier's attention.
Sel'Tarien: Attacks Belhander rolling a 22 and hitting, doing 9 points of damage.
Liam: Blasts Belhander with his Eldritch power rolling 15 and hitting, doing a total of 8 points of damage
