"IT'S HAPPENING NOW, ANGVAR !" With that, most people in the Goblin turn to look at her, a woman with an eye patch over her right eye. This proves to be a bad idea since she quickly finishes reading a scroll and the nearess coal brazier erupts in a burst of flashy, fiery, colored aerial lights. The crowd cries out in surprise and anger at the blinding lights. The one eyed woman once again manages to get herself heard over that ruckus. "ALL RIGHT, FOLKS! DROP TO THE GROUND AND DON'T TRY ANYTHING STUPID AND WE MIGHT LET YOU LIVE." Blinded, most people are inclined to obey. The two bouncers guarding the chest on the central podium seemed to have been able to shield their eyes but three rough looking sailors surrounding the one-eyed woman move to attack them with saps in hand. A fourth sailor moves next to the blinded bouncer at the entrance.combat : Tosh and Chan Ti closed their eyes so they automatically succeed their will saves. Kronk and Rorgnar are within range and los but they get +2 for being in another room. Kronk rolls 16+5=21, success ; Rorgar rolls 4+6=10 and is blinded for 4 rounds ; Tolly rolls 8+0=8 and is blinded for 4 rounds ; Voadam rolls 11-2=9 and is also blinded.Voadam can barely see anything after the light display and, before he can react, he hears the mage recite a few arcane words. The effects of his spell aren't apparent. It seems like the mage was affected by the blinding spell too. "Some more warning in the future. Argghh, I can't see anything!" He says.Chan Ti sees this as an opportunity to prove to the staff of the goblin that they were wrong in not hiring him as an additional guard. He moves next to the podium and lands a swift kick on one of the thieves' chest. The sailor cries out in pain but is still standing. combat : Chan Ti makes an unarmed attack and rolls a 16+1=17 which hits for 4+1=5 points of nonlethal damage. The monk isn't hitting to kill yet.In the Goblin's Tankard, the bright flash blinds both Rorgar and the Ulfen that was talking to them. The others were farther in the room and didn't see the light directly. "Traitorous dog, uzing magicks on me !" Even if it's obvious that Rorgar is also affected, the Ulfens don't seem to need more reasons then that to start a fight. The blinded man try to grab Rorgar but the strong druid manages to repel him. One his companion charges and punches Kronk in the face. The 2 others move to surround the blinded druid. Rorgar feels one attack coming and avoids it but the other man puts his fist right on the half-orc's nose. combat : 1 ulfen charges and hits Kronk for 5 points of nonlethal damage. The talking (and blinded) one makes a CM check but fails to start a grapple. The other 2 attack Rorgar. One misses and the other one crits for 6 point of nonlethal damage.
