The two robed figures who had been creeping around behind suddenly leapt over the fence, and drew their long rapiers, each with a slight saw edge.  Every one of them flung back their hoods and cloaks, and pointed their weapons at you.  With their hods off, you could see that they are fiend-touched, tieflings.  Two of them are similar, with two goat horns curling around their ears, one of them has an unpleasant yellowish tint in his skin, and the third has boils around his eyes, and as his cloak flutters you catch his sulfurous stench.  Fisel smiled, and said,
"But I need it.  It's distasteful to shed blood in a hallowed place, so why don't you young fellows just back away?  Go get a drink at the tavern, forget what you've seen.  You'll be happier for it."

OOC: If everyone wants to fight, roll for initiative.  I'll take the average of everyone's rolls, and whoever has the highest average (the party or the enemies) goes first.  Actions will be resolved in post order.

Initiative: 9

22:41, Today: Thamol Liadon rolled 17 using 1d20+2. Initiative.

What do you wish to do about my wolf and owl?
Wolf will be a major part of battle.

OOC: I think your animal companions/familiars act on your initiative, at your command.
13:28, Today: Talvaroff rolled 14 using 1d20. Initiative.
I tried delaying my posts, but it didn't work.  So I'll just post Talvaroff's and Tarmes' actions after at least two people have posted.

OOC: 21:52, Today: DM Rockchucker, on behalf of Tarmes Werthor, rolled 20 using 1d20+5. Initiative

12:48, Today: DM Rockchucker, on behalf of Penville, rolled 12 using 1d20+4. Initiative.

After waiting for this moment to strike all evening, the adventurers jumped to action immediately at this threat.

OOC: Everyone can act now, in post order.  I'll be posting Tarmes' stuff first, since she kinda needs the initiative order in her favor.

Seeing that these foul creatures were not going to listen to reason Zar'Da sprang into action. As moved Zar'Da tapped into one of the gifts his mistress granted him and a reddish glow eminatted from him (Free action: Activate Draconic Aura: POWER/ +2 to melee damage for myself and any companion within 30' of me). The young half drow moved forward and drew his sword. His face was just above his shield when he opened his mouth and a line of acid shot forth at the lead figure.

Thamol backs of away from the two groups of enemies.  As he does he commands ruff to guard him.  The wolf will attack anybody that tries to get to Thamol.  It's clear it waiting to ponce of any of creature if they come to near him.

Thamol then moves his arm in direction of one of the creature that jumped over the fence.  Two bolts of light come out of his and and hit the creature.

OOC:
Thamol move back about 20ft but only if safe do so.
He get Ruff to charge any of the creature if come towards Thamol.
Thamol cast magic missile at one of creature that jumped over fence.
23:58, Yesterday: Thamol Liadon rolled 8 using 2d4+2. Magic missile.
(Using magic item to increase caster level to 3).

Tarmes drew her dagger, and carefully lined up a shot.  Then she sent it whizzing through the air from the dark at one of the tieflings.  It whickered past his neck, flickering in the moonlight, and flew back to Tarmes' hand.

OOC: 18:49, Today: DM Rockchucker, on behalf of Tarmes Werthor, rolled 16 using 1d20+12. Ranged attack roll (dagger).
18:51, Today: DM Rockchucker, on behalf of Tarmes Werthor, rolled 4 using 1d4+3. Dagger damage
18:51, Today: DM Rockchucker, on behalf of Tarmes Werthor, rolled 8 using 2d6. Sneak attack damage.

Talvaroff turned to the tieflings that had jumped over the fence, to defend the flank.
He sliced heavily with his sword, and the thing nearly got out of reach in time.  But Talvarogg was too quick, and his blade shore through the leather armor.
OOC:
10:22, Today: Talvaroff rolled 16 using 1d20+10. Attack Roll.
10:22, Today: Talvaroff rolled 7 using 1d10+4. Damage.

Fisel managed to twist out of the path of the worst of Zar'da's acid breath, catching his arm in the blast.  The cloth shore away and the skin blistered, but he managed to keep his wits and get out of Zar'da's reach, running quickly and agilely backwards.
Meanwhile, the blades and spells of Thamol, Talvaroff, and Tarmes threw down three of the tieflings, and the last one, the especially foul-smelling one next to Fisel, saw the dire straits of the fight.  He skipped out of Zar'da's reach, and reared his head back and gaped his mouth wide.  A cloud of black gas poured from him, obscuring vision and at last solidifying into utter darkness, enveloping Zar'da.

For most the utter darkness would be unsettling but for Zar'Da it was nothing new. He had spent many years among the drow, the evil elves dropping globes of darkness like this on their enemies for centuries. The half-drow leveled his shield in front of himself and charged forward.

Thamol is little surprise that the group of creature did not put up more of a fight.  Being away from the group he sends another magic missile at any creature within range he can see.

OOC:
20:59, Today: Thamol Liadon rolled 1 using 1d100. Arcane Failure.

Talvaroff, though he was further away from Zar'da and had no idea how to navigate in the dark, tried his best and entered the cloud himself, probing here and there with his sword, keeping his shield to the front.  Peering through the dusk, he made out the form of the tiefling, and sliced his sword at it.

OOC: 08:59, Today: Talvaroff rolled 33 using 1d100. Miss chance (<20 misses).
08:59, Today: Talvaroff rolled 29 using 1d20+10. Attack roll.
09:00, Today: Talvaroff rolled 11 using 1d20+10. Confirm critical.
09:01, Today: Talvaroff rolled 5 using 1d10+4. Damage.

And Zar'da, you can make an attack roll too, unless you prefer I do.

Draconic Aura: POWER/ +2 to melee damage for myself and any companion within 30' of me.

Zar'Da slashed across in front of himself at the leader who had been there a moment ago, hoping he would score a solid hit.

Fisel wasn't in the darkness cloud, but Zar'da's and Talvaroff's blades cut down the evil-smelling tiefling, though the darkness remained.  Through the murk, they could see that Fisel had summoned an orange aura around his arms, and was flying away swiftly.  Tarmes spiritedly through a dagger at him in passing, and it whickered past his neck and drew a gout of blood before hurtling back to her, but he continued flying away, back to the horses outside the graveyard.

Zar'Da continued on through the murk until he broke through the other side (hopefully). Once out he tries to catch sight of Fisel.

Zar'da, fighting his way past the inky cloud, sees Fisel skimming over the gravestones.  He's a good distance off, but a few shots might be made after him, if they were quick with their arrows.

OOC: He's a good 80 feet away from Tarmes and Zar'da, and further from everyone else.

OOC: Did you mention there were horses near by?

OOC: There are some horses that they rode in on, hitched by the gate.  He's headed towards them, and they're sixty feet away from you.  He's eighty feet away, because he's higher in the air.

OOC:
Is anybody in range of my magic missile 120 range.

Figuring the man was out of the range of his small crossbow Zar'Da puts his head down and runs as fast as he can.

OOC: Movement 20'. Full run.

Talvaroff begins running too, his boots pounding the earth loudly as he ran as fast as he could, but trailing behind Zar'da.

Tarmes began running as well.  Not as burdened as Zar'da and Talvaroff, she quickly caught up and broke ahead, in the race to the horses.
