Swinging the powerful Bar with strikes designed to pommel the man into unconsciousness without causing too much permanent damage, the dwarf attacks!  His first strikes hit true, clipping the deranged human in the arm and causing him to almost loose his balance.  Reivik believes that his second series of blows will strike the Marquis as well, but at the last moment the dwarf realizes that his target is actually a few inches further to the right than he first thought.  His eyes must be playing tricks on him.  The maul misses and catches the edge of the wooden throne Eshanna is perched on, sending a shower of splinters around the room. OOC:  5 foot step; Full Attack#1 13 + 18 - 4 (nonlethal) = 27, hit! Damage 1d12 + 10 = Marquis takes 19 hp of nonlethal damage, Full Attack#2 9 + 13 - 4 (nonlethal) = 18, miss“Thanks, Mavic!” Latalya says with a nod to the aristocrat mage, then she turns to the crazy marquis. “Now for you!”  The elf swiftly moves towards the gap in the bars and through them, ending next to the man.  As she passes Reivik, the Marquis sees an opening and strikes at her with his jeweled dagger. Holding her blade ready to strike, she just waits for an opportunity to use it.  OOC: Double Move to the square below the Marquis on the map; Attempts to Tumble through Reivik's square so as not to provoke an AoO from the Marquis: Tumble check 1 + 11 = 12, failure! Marquis dagger attack hits AC 29, hit! Damage = Latalya takes 7 hp of damage; If any AoO are provoked, Latalya will try to trip the Marquis, relying on her expertise instead of on raw strength.Cursing his poor aim, Gregor the Druid looks up to see that Latalya has moved directly in front of his target.  Realizing that there is only the tiniest chance of hitting the Marquis now, he grumbles, reloading the sling and glancing around him in case the shadows reappear.  OOC: Reload sling; Ready sling attackThe Marquis' forehead wrinkles in growing frustration and desperation.  "Get away from me, subhumans," he shrieks, holding the dagger in front of him defensively while attempting to obviously cast a spell defensively.  Upon completion of it he shouts "Infantalize!" at the top of his lungs.  Immediately Eshanna and Reivik seem to revert to a pre-verbal, childlike state.  They make soft, cooing noises and look around them in innocent wonder.  OOC: Concentration check to cast defensively succeeds; Latalya, Mavic and Eshanna realize that he is casting a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/confusion.htm" target="_blank">Confusion</a> spell centered on himself; Eshanna, Reivik, the Marquis, and George are currently within the range of the spell and not within Mavic's spell field and must make Will saves; Eshanna Will save 6 + 12 = 18, failure, Eshanna becomes <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#confused" target="_blank">Confused</a>; Reivik Will save 9 + 9 = 18, failure, Reivik becomes <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#confused" target="_blank">Confused</a>; Marquis Will save succeeds; George Will save 17 + 7 = 24, success!Barely lifting her shield off the ground, Anastasia forces herself to move outside of the wizard’s anti-magical aura so that she can regain some of her magical strength back.  As she moves into the cell with her companions she feels the strength of her magical gauntlets returning to her, partially lifting her out of her weakened state.  OOC: Pick up shield; move outside of Mavik’s anti-magical circleSeeing the effect of the spell on Eshanna and Reivik, Mavic takes a quick step towards the bars of the cage, bringing the two within the range of his extremely efficient spell.  The cleric of Wee Jas and the dwarf's thoughts immediately solidify as they become acutely aware of their surroundings again.  OOC:  5 foot step; Please note that the effects of the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/confusion.htm" target="_blank">Confusion</a> spell are merely suppressed, not dispelledGeorge laughs as he moves his rapier to his off hand, "This guy better be worth it, Mavic!  I could have skewered him three ways from Freeday with my blade by now!  Fisticuffs are not my specialty!"  The elven scout then takes a punch at the Marquis' kidneys, striking a nasty blow that causes him to cry out in pain.  OOC: Change hands; Full Unarmed Sneak Attack#1 on Mavic 9 + 13 = 22, hit!  Damage 1d3 + 6d6 = Marquis takes 24 hp of nonlethal damage; Unarmed Sneak Attack#2 10 + 8 = 18, missMorley continues to watch the walls and corridors for additional foes.  OOC: Ready attack actionThankful to have her senses restored, Eshanna switches her grip on her bastard sword and swings at the Marquis with the flat of her blade.  Due to the awkwardness of how she is holding the sword, neither of her attacks strike true.  OOC:  Full attack#1 on the Marquis 13 + 9 + 1 (higher ground) - 4 (nonlethal) = 19, miss; full attack#2 6 + 4 + 1 - 4 = 7, miss</blockquote>
