The other, though, the elf somehow willed past its defenses; the creature looked like he was in very bad shapre. (Scorching Ray at 2 didn't come close to beating SR; Scorching Ray at 1 needed an action point)Drue was unable to cast his spell defensively, and so the rakshasa warrior took the opportunity to take a cut at him, which hurt rather more than the gnome would have liked, and he was unable to complete his spell. (sorry, rolled a 2 on the Concentration check to cast defensively, the AoO hit and did 18 damage to Drue, and he didn't make the concentration check to complete his spell anyway) Oswin stepped into the melee again, and this time, with Kahlia across from him and Saalin's flametouched rapier in his hand, he struck true. Blood -- or something like it -- flowed from the fiend's back, in any case."They must be defeated here and now, or they will simply return with more numbers before I can bring reinformcements here. They would not be here if they did not know what I am." Alistair said, channeling the Silver Flame's power into a spell that healed Drue's injuries ust after the Rakshasa had made them. (Cure Serious Wounds; Alistair made his check to cast defensively)Hariel, unable to take a flanking position, let her thinblade flash twice more. Once, the sorcerer managed to dodge out of the way. Not twice; another prick appeared on his side.Brother Dain was not tall for a human man, so the ease at which he took hold of the nearly-uninjured rakshasa warrior and pulled it in his direction was a surprise. Or it would have been, if you did not know him.In a rather brutal change of tactics, the badly injured rakshasa warrior attacked Kahlia, cutting her down with a pair of slashes from his sword, and then stepped over her body to face Alistair. (Khalia is at -2 hit points)The second warrior was unable to break the grapple, but the sorcerer was still free to act. And he did, slipping past his comrade to grab Lord Alistair. And then with a word, the un-grappled Rakshasa touched him, and the three of them disappeared.
