Oswin stands and follows Hariel out of the room, loosening his blade in it's sheath.
(Drue: I'm going to assume you follow everyone else; normally I'd wait at least a full day for PC actions, but there's not much real choice here...)
Kahlia casually pulls a rapier off the wall without slowing down as Brother Dain runs by her (he's got a higher movement rate, and knows where Lord Alistair's lab is), everyone sprinting down a flight of stairs, opening the door to the lab.
Tables have been knocked over inside. Ava lies bleeding just to one side of the door. Lord Alistair stands in a far corner, as if determined to fight, though he showed signs of injury. And what he intended to fight stood in the center of the room.
Three creatures, who appeared to be some sort of tiger-men were there, two holding shields and swords who looked bigger and stronger than the other. All were covered in what appeared to be the alchemical remains of tanglefoot bags, one of the larger creatures looking on the verge of breaking his restraints, and the other already having done so. No sound had come from the struggle; clearly a silence spell had been cast.
Initiative:
Saalin 22
Drue 21
Oswin 18 (Oswin goes before Lord Alistair due to higher Dex)
Alistair 18
Hariel 13 (Hariel goes before Dain due to higher Dex)
Dain 13
Monsters 12
Kahlia 2
(This is a 30' x 20' room; there are several overturned tables in the center area of the room, with lab equipment against one wall, and a rack of weapons on a second.)

Drue's eyes open wide at the sight of the bizarre forms before him. He opens his mouth and calls out a rallying song to inspire his comrades to battle. Seeing the wounded woman near the door, he moves to protect her. As he moves he pulls his Sap from his belt and swings it back and forth to settle the iron pellets inside.
OOC: Sorry 'bout the delay, I had to prep the last two days to DM a 12 hour game Saturday. Drue will use his Bardic Knowledge +9 to try to identify the creatures, then Inspire Courage +2 for all allies that can hear him, and then move to cover Ava drawing his sap as part of his move action.

For a non-Thrane, a 17 on the Bardic Knowledge check would still leave you confused as to what you're facing. However, the Church of the Silver Flame and the Rakshasa cabal known as the Lords of Dust have been bitter enemies for centuries, and these three are clearly rakshasas.

Saalin will take a defensive position along the wall, hopefully with cover. Drawing a ivory colored wand from his other sleeve, he will attempt to use it on the bleeding servant to heal her wounds.
[SBLOCK=OCC]The wand is his wand of cure light wounds. Assuming he can draw it and move (as if it were a weapon since he has better than a +1 BAB), he would do so to get cover. If he cannot, he will move 5' towards the best cover and then use the wand. Note, he would still have the wand of scorching ray in his other hand.[/SBLOCK]

Rather uncharacteristically, it takes Dain a moment to get over his confusion and realize that this is clearly the beginning of a battle. His eyes settle on the injured Ava, causing realization to dawn. His eyes harden and his fists close as he focuses on the three monsters, clearly upset at the injury caused to an innocent and harmless woman.
OOC: Being indoors and a guest of Alistair, Dain would have left his Quarterstaff in his rooms. He will fight unarmed, using his hands and feet as the situation calls it. He will deal lethal damage to begin with, but he will switch to nonlethal damage with the weakest appearing monster, in an attempt to leave one alive for questioning.

Oswin moves foward to the tiger-creature who has already freed himself and in one swift motion, draws his blade as he strides foward, and strikes at the enemy threatening Lord Allistair with a devestating and well-placed two-handed slash.
OOC: Oswin is in his full armor, however, it is glamered to look like nice high-class dinner-party clothes. He appears to be a half-elf, his most common appearence. He doesn't have his shield or pack, but he does keep his sword on him at all times.
