Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*As Kirkesh begins the coup-de-grace to knock the guard out, another guard rushes out from the side door and pushes her back about ten feet, away from Vanessa and the tied-up guard. As soon as this occurs, two more guards with swords come from the room on the other side, one flanking Kirkesh and the other circling a bit and impeding on the path back to Vanessa, and they attack, both failing to strike the nimble Dolathi, as he dodges both blows, first one way and then the other.*
*Vanessa looks frantically into Kirkesh's eyes, as if asking him whether she should help him in the fight and risk exposing her true loyalties, or whether he could handle it.
(OOC:
Guard B Touch Attack 16 + 6 = 22, success.
Opposed Bullrush Guard B vs Kirkesh: 11 + 4 = 15 vs 9 + 1 = 10--success by 5 or more means 10 feet of pushing.
Guard C Sword 7 + 7 = 14, miss.
Guard D 13 + 5 = 18, miss.
Vanessa delays to wait for Kirkesh's nonverbal cue.
Kirkesh's turn.
