Storms of Change, Part 2

Cursing for letting the quicker lass get ahead of him, Dunathar tightened his grip on the morningstar and looked in as soon as he could to see what the numbers were against them.

~May the Maker continue to watch over us...~

The door opens into another barracks room, like the last one. Four human guards stand here, in scalemail with swords on their belts. They did not hear the party, and failed to hear or see the door opening.

Surprise Initiative
Devan
Manzanita
Filbert
Adromon
Zanock
Dunathar
Rowyn

Edit: Here's a little map

Manzanita

OOC: Since Rowyn opened the door, and Manzanita is the light source for the non-darkvisioned party, I think I can safely assume she is right behind Rowyn. She'll take the oportunity to cast sleep on the two standing together. Hopefully the full round spell will take effect before they get to act.
 

Hearing the elvish mage begin her chanting, Dunathar took that as a sign that talking would come after the odds were shifted more in his companion's favor.

~If there is any talking to be done at all...~

Charging the guard closest to him, Dunathar swung the morningstar hoping to drop the guard before he could draw his steel.

OOC: Attack guard at B2. Morningstar gripped in both hands for extra thumpage..:)
 



-- Surprise Round --

Devan steps to the side and fires an arrow at the closest open target he sees [H4]. His arrow hits. The human grasps at the shaft protruding from his chest, and falls [8 damage].

Manzanita begins casting a spell.

Filbert holds his lantern up high and flattens himself against a wall, trying to stay out of the other’s way.

Adromon [autopilot] steps into the room, swinging his glaive at the human behind the door [H3]. His glaive arcs down, slicing diagonally through the human, cleaving him in two [critical, 28 damage].

Zanock moves past Adromon, charging the human opposite the door [H2]. His falchion slices straight down, cutting a gash deeply in the human’s body [14 damage]. As the human falls, Zanock pivots on his feet, spinning around, slicing his falchion in a horizontal arc, lopping the last human’s head cleanly off [critical, 30 damage].

Manzanita Sparrow

Manzanita drops her arms and frowns. "A waste of a perfectly good spell. But what an efficient killing machine we are..." she mutters. She then shoulders her way in the room and begins to search the trunks and bodies.
 

Rowyn looks troubled and slips to the side of the hallway as the others search the room. That was brutally . . . efficient, she thinks as she contemplates the short fight. She sighs almost silently. I have become awfully immersed in death. I wonder if anyone will recognize me when I return. I wonder if I will recognize myself! She shakes her head and then enters the room, attempting to put on a game face for the proceedings.
 

As the longer legs of his companions carried them past him, Dunathar watched as the guards fell like wheat to the scythe.

~I do hope Zanock stays on our side, as I do not know if even I could stop him...~

Slipping the morningstar back into the loop on his belt, Dunathar drew his dagger and carefully made sure that no life remained in the guards. While he respected his companion's beliefs, Dunathar was not about to beat a foe only to bandage him afterwards.

After his grisly task was done, he cleaned his dagger on the fallen guard's shirt before looking for a way to once more hide the evidence of their passing.

~OOC:While he searches for more hiding spots, Dunathar will also keep his eye out for anything that will be of use to the party, or himself...~
