Round 4
Voadam, no longer affected by Thuvalia's compulsion, gets back up. Unable to really pinpoint where his enemy is, he get ready to lunge at her as soon as he can see again.
OOC: Since you move at half-speed in darkness (or when blinded), you can't take a 5-foot step. You can make a 5-foot step as part of a ready action however, so I've changed your action to ready an action to 'move next to her and grapple her' once Voadam can see again.
Still unable to see, Rorgar waits to strike.
Angvar, the black haired mage, rubs his eyes as if he's trying to clear his sight.
Ti is through trying to impress Hans, its now personal. He seriously considers a kick to the remaining sailor's solar plexus, however he does not wish to kill him just hurt and disable him. So in the end he attempts a kidney punch. Although not overly violent, the punch is extremely precise and the wounded sailor drops to the floor in pain, no longer able to move.
The Ulfen raiders still surround the feral druid. The half-orc, still in his 'hyena' form, tries to snap back at his attackers but, blinded, he can't do so effectively. He gets punched twice more and topples to the ground, unconcious. Those close to him can see the half-orc return to his humanoid form. The man closest to the bar jumps over it, probably to look for the barman that attacked him. The other 2 turn to face Kronk.
Combat: Rorgar gets hit twice for 8 more points of nonlethal damage. This is enough to make him unconcious. Being blind and flanked is bad.
[Sblock=Ambrus]Tosh moves under the table to be next to one of the fallen bouncers. This one was pierced by one of the sailors' rapier and he's lying in a small pool of his own blood. He appears dead or at least very close to it. Having survived this long in the boneyard, Tosh doesn't have any scruples in looting a dead man and quickly empties his pockets. It finds 5 pieces of gold and 20 silver.[/Sblock]
For a moment, Tolly still has trouble seeing but he eventually manages to see his new friend, Chan Ti, deftly kidney punch and thus incapacitate a man that has the look of sailor. Ti seems to have taken a few hits. Nothing serious but he's probably gonna have bruises tomorrow. To his right, Tolly can also see a similar man trading sword blows with one of the gambling hall's bouncers. Finally, there still fighting in the bar, if Tolly's ears serve him right.
Seeing many of her allies fall down or abandoning her seem to unnerve Thuvalia a bit. She draws her rapier and once again tries her distracting spell, this time on Voadam. The northman's mind hesitates for a moment but he manages to shake free of the spell. As the bearded wizard lunges forward to grab her, Thuvalia tries to stab him with her thin sword but Voadam easily avoid her weak thrust and grabs her arms.
Combat: Voadam will save 16-2=14, success (it's Daze btw). Thuvalia misses her AoO and Voadam get 18+3=21 on his CM roll which is enough to start a grapple. Both are now grappling.
As this is happening, up on the podium, Angvar the wizard can finally see correctly. He looks down on a bottle he's holding, murmurs a few arcane phrases and it starts to faintly glow. He then smashes the glowing bottle on the nearby chest. It also start to glow with an arcade light. Suddenly, it shrinks to the size of a small cat and takes on a clothlike composition. The mage quickly picks up the miniature chest and puts it inside his robes.
Kronk lunges forward toward the Ulfen at Rorgar's flank, feinting high before spinning his waraxe deftly into a flat-edged uppercut aimed at the man's jaw. So skillful is the strike that it could be Kronk's previous clumsy attacks were only been a ruse to lull his foes into a false sense of security. The northmen fall on the ground next to Rorgar, unconcious.
The sailor in the kitchen can be heard loudly rummaging throught various cabinets and cupboards.
"Where is it ? Where's the money they keep here ?" Close to the bar, now that is opponent is no longer blinded, one of the sailor drops his sap and draws a deadlier rapier. He overwhelms the bouncer he's facing with a serie of quick thrust and pierces his opponent's shoulder. The bouncer is hurt but not out of the fight yet. As for the wounded sailor guarding the entrance, he draws a dagger and looks around for any threats to his person.
Kronk sees the barman throw a heavy metal mug toward the Ulfen who just jumped the counter but his aim is off the the mug just fly above the raider's head and hits the wall behind him.
"Yes, hold her. She'll learn what happens to those who try to rob us !" Hans and the other guard move to attack Thuvalia with their morningstar but their rushed attacks can't connect. Near the bar, the bouncer continues dueling one of the sailors but he can't penetrate his enemy's defenses.
OOC: It's been four rounds since the flashy spell so no one is blinded anymore.
