Combat Round 1
[ooc: at init 20 arishan casts Resist taint on Pan Chou]
[ooc: at init 19] the hooded man in the entrance of the temple begins to chant in a strange an foul-sounding language, performing short, quick gestures with his hands. Suddenly it seems as if the shadows around him begin to grow a bit denser and his clothes seem to get sturdier. If you look close enough, you think to almost be able to see faces moving among the folds of his cloak.
[at init 16] Pan Chou moves forward and delivers a lighning fast strike to the left guard, cutting deep and almost severing the unfortunate one's left arm and most of his shoulder. With a gush of blood and a cry of pain, the man collapses on the ground.
Out of nowhere a finely carved longbow appears in the hands of the bearded older man. He draws a black-feathered arrow from a quiver on his back, draws and aims at arishan and inflicts 5 points of damage, hitting him at the arm.
the one Guard on the ground seems to be bleeding strongly from his wound, now being unconcious. The other one, who flinched a bit when Pan Chou's sword inflicted the terrible wound on his comrade, then draws his sword and attacks him with a ferral snarl escaping his lips. He hits him with a glancing blow across the leg for 4 damage.
