Alexander tell's the Zhent's to his sword from his cold dead hands, and swings with his bastard sword, easily connecting (10+10=20) and digging his blade deeply into the man's shoulder (8+3) and dropping him with a gurgling scream. Arcanra advances, and swings his sword (13+4=17), and slices through his opponent's armour like cheese, opening him up from his navel to groin (8+1=9). Tores, proving himself to be a little girly elf, scurries out of the front line of combat. Jasper, shoves his loaded crossbow into the stomache of the closest Zhent, and discharges it (12+4=16), putting a very deep and painful looking hole in him, (7), the Zhent falls to te ground rather rapidly. Sul'Dan, takes a step back, and casts mage armour on himself. Gavin, sneaks up on one of the outlying Zhents, and looses an arrow (17+4=21), catching the Zhent in the collarbone (5+5=10), dropping him to the ground with hardly a sound. The two remaining Zhents, decide that discretion is the better part of valor, and begin running back towards the oasis. As they sprint, the dune under them explodes upward, after a brief flurry of sand, all that is standing is your guide.
