Somehow his bare hand strikes hers with such force that she is forced to drop the weapon.[Alicia rolls attack roll 16+10+2=AC 28, hit.  Damage rolled 8+9+3=20 damage.  Got an AOO as the one approached, rolled 9+10+2=AC 21, hit.  Rolled 13+9+3=25 damage.  Geez. The man fails a fortitude check and is dying.  Got a cleave against the other robed man, rolled 2+10+2=AC 14, missed.  Alicia rolled 9+10+2=21 on her attempt to resist the disarm, but the man rolled 25]The door to the training school opens, and a lightly armored, and somewhat handsome man is standing there, gleaming long sword in hand, with Girdra standing behind him.  The man yells “Stop, creature!  Harm another person and I will take your head!”, and Girdra says to him “I shouldn’t even care, but you’ll get my help just the same.”  She begins incanting and waving her arms around, looking quite insane, but then magical energy begins forming in her hands.  The first man she hurt, the one with the sheathed weapon, continues to stumble down the street.[Characters by initiative, damage:Alicia, unhurtOne robed man, dyingOther robed man, unhurtMan with gleaming longsword, unhurtGirdra, unhurtArmed man, disabled]Current, Outside Boone’s AntiquesAccalon slices at Azallin with his weapon, cutting a vital artery.  Azallin looks shocked at the pain and grabs at his neck, keeping the blood from gushing out.[Accalons attack rolled 20.  Crit confirmation rolled 8+6=AC 14, not a crit.  Rolled 3+2=5 damage.  Azalin makes a Fortitude check and is disabled.]T’aria moves up on the man so willing to kill her just seconds ago [T1, BTW], and stabs him deep in the back with her rapier, through his heart, killing him instantly.[T’aria rolled 11+6+2(flank)=AC 19, hit.  Rolled 6+5=11 points of damage.  He rolls 1 on a Fortitude check, dies.]The man who had refused to attack her has no trouble hitting Sunedilar, cutting a nice slash across his chest.  Even further enraged by this, the warrior slashes his chain across the young man’s face and the man collapses, blood pouring out on to the soft ground.[Sunedilar took 3 points of damage.  He attacks rolling 16+8=AC 24, hit, doing 6+3=9 points of damage.  Man is now dying.]Next to Boone’s, Aligor tries to retreat, but avoiding Hectaras puts him a bit too close to leather-armored man who left Bane dying, but that man’s sword bounces off the dwarf’s armor.  Aligor rushes into Boone’s, to his box of potions. But Leeza and Hectaras gives chase while the remaining man stabs his sword through Bane’s head, killing Aligor’s poor occasionally-loyal dog.  Inside the shop, Hex gives Aligor an evil smile.  “Not even going to beg?  They always try to fight, then run, and when that doesn’t save them, then starts the begging.  C’mon dwarf, surely you have some friends who’d like to see you come home alive.  They’d want you to beg.  Do it for them.”[Note: On withdraw, only the square you start in is safe from AOO.  There was no way to withdraw without either Hex or the man (S1 on map) or Leeza getting an AOO.  But luckily the man missed anyway. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ]The bat, apparently not fond of being ignored, tries once again to bite Accalon, but this time misses.  Azallin looks frantic, wanting to do something to save himself, but unable to take his hand away from the wound in his neck.  He stumbles backward, trying to get away, but Lydia follows, avoiding the bat’s bite, and with an evil snarl, she strikes the wizard in the face hard with her mace.  The man collapses, and as blood flows out, he dies in seconds.  With a fiendish screeching, the large bat disappears.[Lydia is missed by an AOO from the bat.  Her attack rolled 16+3=AC 19, hit.  Damage rolled 6.  He fails a fortitude check, and is dead.][OOC Now the question, and keep it in character as much as possible… but with the fight appearing to be over, would anyone remember about poor threatened Aligor?][Characters by initiative, damage:Accalon, HPs:22/32T’aria, unhurt (probably; she’s at HPs: 5/13 with no healing)Aligor, HPs:11/37Bane, deadUnchivalrous Man with short sword, deadChivalrous man with short sword, dyingMan on Aligor, very hurtLeeza, unhurtSundilar, HPs: 26/29Hectaras, unhurtAzallin, deadLydia, HPs:10/20][Not going to bother updating the map.  Aligor is at P18,  Hex and Leeza are inside, but by the door (M15 and M16)]</blockquote>
