Dain curses loudly when Alistair, the sorcerer, and the other warrior disappear. He will attempt to pin the warrior he is still grappling, intending to hold it down so that the others can beat it into submission, knock it unconscious, tie it up, etc. "We must keep this one alive, or we may never find where they have taken him!" he yells to the others.

Hariel, realizing the truth of what Dain says, steps over and begins striking carefully in order to disable the Rakshasa.
OOC: Hrm. If they're grappling, they should be in the same square--specifically, Dain should have entered the Rakshasa's square. In any case, five foot step for two strikes. -4 non-proficiency penalty for doing subdual damage, can't sneak attack.

Leaving the ivory wand behind, Saalin edges his way around the table to the fallen Kahlia. Confident with Dain's hold, he move around Drue to get to her. With a short prayer to the power of the Flame, he attempts to close her wounds.
[SBLOCK=Mechanics]AFAIK, a wand of cure light wounds still requires a touch attack to operatate, instead of a ranged. Thus, he cannot pick it up and use it from where he is. If anyone knows differently, let me know. Thus, he is loosing his prepared 1st level non-domain cleric 1st level spell to cast cure light wounds; won't bring her into the fight, but will keep her alive.
Saalin will edge along the north wall, through Drue's square (I'm assuming that he is not blocking). Since the rakshasa is grappled, it shouldn't get an AoO.[/SBLOCK]

Cursing aloud, Drue leaps towards the only fiend still in the room. He lashes out with his Sap attempting to strike the beast in the head without hitting his companions grappling it.

Oswin moves toward the grapple, watching his companions try and subdue the tiger-warrior. If the creature gets free, Oswin will attack him.
OOC: Oswin moves to be adjacent with the grapple and readies an action to strike the Rakshasa if he escapes the grapple.

Saalin moved along the wall, sliding past Drue to reach the injured Kahlia, and letting the Silver Flame work its healing magic through him. And the worst of her wounds closed. (healed 8 points of damage, she's at 6 HPs now)
Drue was unable to find a clear place to strike the rakshasa with his sap as it was grappling with Dain. Oswin moved to a position where he could strike the creature if he broke free from Dain's grasp.
Taking care to avoid hitting a vital spot -- or what she guessed was a vital spot; who knew what fiends were really like inside? -- Hariel only made a single effective strike on the rakshasa warrior.
Dain has little difficulty in pinning the warrior. (With Drue's Bard Song and Kahlia's Dark Knowledge in effect, it's a +15 vs a +8 on the grapple check), and its attempt to break free is futile.
Kahlia stands up, seeing her father and two of the rakshasas gone for the first time, then slipped past Oswin to the weapons rack on the far wall, searching for something. "They took father?" She said.

Realizing he is of little use in subduing the fiend, Saalin edges along the western wall. Though he does not know exactly what she is looking for, he attempts to assist Kahlia find her quarry.
[SBLOCK=Mechanics]Saalin will attempt to aid another with Kahlia's Search attempt (that's what I assume she is doing). Though not trained, he has a +6 total modifier (+4 Int, +2 for being and elf). I envision this has him trying to figure out what she is looking for by holding up a bunch of stuff. If the silence was not active, he'd just ask.

Having a hard time hitting the fiend directly, Drue instead concentrates on distracting the fiend so the others can more easily subdue it. He swats at the fiends face with his sap and makes fake attacks to draw its attention.
OOC: Using "Aid Another" to give Hariel another +2 to their next attack roll. Drue's Attack bonus is +9 vs AC10 to successfully use "Aid Another".

OOC: I guess there's not really much point in going round by round at this point.
While Saalin saw an extensive collection of waponry on the rack, mostly crafted of flametouched iron and some almost certainly enchanted, whether by Lord Alistair or by others, Kahlia knew exactly what she was looking for, and didn't need any aid in finding a crossbow and a case of bolts before returning to the other side of the room and taking aim at the rakshasa warrior.
Meanwhile, Dain continued to keep the fiend pinned while Hariel used careful placed pricks of her thinblade until it finally fell unconcious.
"I suppose we must try interrogating it," Kahlia said. "But rakshasa are almost without exception highly skilled at misleading people. I do not know what father brought you here for, but I would ask your aid in finding him and bringing him home."

"Before we learn what the fiend wants us to, perhaps we should learn what we can from other sources", Hariel said.
"Kahlia--the rakshasa seemed to be here specifically for your father, and while he seemed upset at their appearance," she said, nodding towards the weapons rack, "he certainly appears to have been prepared for such a threat."
Hariel began walking around the room, examining the signs of the struggle, and the materials that at one time sat on top of the room's desks. "Do you have any idea what your father might have done to draw the attention of such creatures? Might it have been connected with why Lord Alistair called us here?"
[sblock=Mechanics]
Hariel is giving the room a cursory investigation using Investigate and Search. She does not expect to find much immediately, but will follow up with a detailed analysis using her inquistive's kit (in her room) once she has a chance.
