OOC: Just a note about Hogart, his ready action is to Soundburst the largest group that is standing after the fireballs have been cast. If he can't use teh spell against at least 2 of them, he will instead change his action to heal an fallen, converting his spiritual hammer.
(OOC: Well--we're about to find out that some of the group's proposed attacks are much more dangerous to these enemies than you guys might expect--and some much less Should be fun )
"Okay, thought you might've had a protective abjuration around you. You'll definitely pick up casting, I think you're probably quite the natural." he says in the breath between attacks.
Ashnar doesn't say anything about the short conversation, but it seems he doesn't really approve of it. Concentrate, he says to himself, and maybe should say it out loud as well, Against these creatures, doing otherwise may be deadly.
