Seeing as none of the enemies came into sight, D'aden decides his companions would be better served if he gained a better perspective. To achieve this, he moved to the left of the door and looked through. Spotting the draconians on the opposite wall, he readied his bow and took aim at the nearest one.

OOC: Unsure of where this fits in the action sequence, but D'aden moves to the side of the door (hex in row J), readies his bow, and takes aim at #2

"I'll take the ones on the left!" yells Olven, taking aim at the closer of the two draconians.  "Come on, lizzies, just a few steps forward," he mutters, keeping his target in sight.

OOC:  Aim for the closer draconian.

Tarhall took a few steps forward in order to keep the Draconian he had thrown the missile at in his line of sight.  Without entering the room Tarhall then pointed his staff through the doorway at the same Draconian and barked a sharp command word, speaking a language unintelligible to most, but one that radiated power when spoken by a member of the Order such as Tarhall.

He hoped that, should the spell prove successful and the Draconian's innate magic resistance not protect his target, that particular Draconian would be stuck where he stood and unable to engage in melee combat.  Improving the odds was always worthwhile and giving his comrades more time to deal with the other three Draconians seemed a sensible idea!


OOC:
Tarhall will move forward a couple of hexes and then cast Rooted Feet at Draconian no. 2.  His base skill with the spell is 19 and I’m guessing that once you allow for the staff he’s about 5 yards away making the casting target number 14.  Hopefully he’s successfully cast it by a decent margin (though we’ll see if the Draconian resists).

14:02, Today: Tarhall uth Veyranth rolled 6 using 3d6. Casting Rooted Feed @ Draconian No.2.

Owain sliced the draconian again.
Jarl entered the room.
D’aden moved and started aiming at one of the draconians (#2).
Olven fired his crossbow at one of the draconians (#1) and it penetrated its scales. Olven then dropped the weapon.
Tarhall stepped forward.
Kar and Sarah continued to watch the rear.

Two of the baaz advanced on Olven.
The wounded baaz attacked Owain, but missed.
The final baaz stepped forward attacked Jarl, but Jarl dodged.

"Sarah, keep your eyes to our backs, we don't want to be surprised by any unexpected arrivals from behind." Kar said and then moved to the door to see whether his assistance was necessary in the next room.

Olven readies his spear and holds it two-handed as he eyes his draconians warily.  "Guys - a little help here," he says.  He holds his spear out warily, watching for the draconians' next move.

OOC:  Ready spear - two-handed grip, reach 2.

"There's only two over there... They can't be that tough, can they?" He swings again at one of his, to see.

Jarlianthas stabs at the Draconian, who is nearest.

18:44, Today: Jarlianthas Erethriel rolled 9 using 3d6. Knife attack #4.
Target 13

D'aden releases his arrow, his aim unerring the shaft zips directly at the draconian.

OOC:20:56, Today: D'aden Tor VIII rolled 7 using 3d6. shoot #2 (+1 aim, 17 to start).

Kar spoke with Sarah and moved to the door.
Olven readied his spear.
Owain attacked again, but the draconian dodged.
Jarl stepped closer to the draconian and tried to stab him, but the draconian dodged.
D’aden fired at the draconian with an arrow sticking out of him, but unfortunately it dodged this time.

One of the draconians moved forward and attacked Owain, but he stepped away into the space Jarl had vacated only a moment earlier.
The arrow pierced draconian moved forward.
One draconian attacked Owain, but he dodged.
While the last draconian attacked Jarl, but missed.

Owain decides to dazzle them with superior sworsmanship- they seem to be able to handle a toe-to-toe fight fairly well.

(Feint. Did we kill #4? Pick the proper one for me to do this on, I presume #3 if #4 is gone.)

Olven takes a stab at the wounded Draconian.  "Tough enough!  Scaly, sharp teeth, and mad as hell - and wounding 'em doesn't improve their disposition!"

OOC:  Deceptive Thrust Attack - -2 for a -1 to Drac's defense roll.

Jarlianthas mumbles something quickly, but nothing appears to occur.

16:49, Today: Jarlianthas Erethriel rolled 14 using 3d6. Icy Weapon Target 13.

Owain feinted one of the draconians (3).
Olven thrusted his spear into the torso of the other wounded draconian (1).
Jarl mumbled, but nothing happened.
Kar looked over the situation from his position in the doorway.
D’aden drew an arrow from his quiver and readied his bow for another shot.
Tarhall still couldn’t get a good view of anyone in the room beyond the doorway.
Sarah kept watching their backs.

The wounded draconian (1) stepped towards Olven, but its attack doesn’t only miss him, the sword turns in the draconian’s hand, making it unsuitable to attack before it has reaffirmed his grip on the sword.

The other draconian on that side (2) also stepped forward and attacked Kar. But Kar stepped out of the doorway and into the corridor and the draconian missed.

The other wounded draconian (3) continued its attack on Owain, but it missed.

The final draconian dropped his sword and clawed Jarl, who unfortunately couldn’t get away. (-3hp)

[Jarl (J) is now sharing a hex with 4 and Kar (K) is standing in the doorway.]

Owain attacks the draconian.

(OOC: Attack, Mighty Blows for +3 dam, target torso, spend 1FP.)

Jarlianthas stabs the knife at the draconian standing next to him.

13:52, Today: Jarlianthas Erethriel rolled 6 using 3d6. Knife Attack #4: target 13.

The brief look had given Kar the information needed, namely that it was too cramped in there to use his staff and that the others could do with his assistance.

Dropping the staff he stepped through the door and turning continued his movement straight into the creature in the hope that closing the distance would surprise it as well as render it's held weapon useless.

Passing his left leg between those of the Draconian the monk then swept it back attempting to catch it's right even as his body smacked into it's, the idea being that the sudden loss of one of it's supports along with the impact of Kar's form would suffice to send it flying backwards.

If successful Kar allowed himself to fall with the creature, there was little that he could do not to having committed to the move, but he did attempt to turn his own momentum into a forward roll to bring him past the opponent.

07:01, Today: Kar Reuel rolled 7 using 3d6. Attack #2 (judo).

Olven found himself out of room for his spear.  I need more training, he thinks to himself, and so, letting go of his spear, he draws his axe for closer work.

OOC:  Drop spear.  Ready axe.

D'aden steadied himself, and aimed carefully for the draconian fumbling with his sword.

OOC: Spending more time on his aim, D'aden is apparently attempting to place his shot.

Owain swung his sword and cut the draconian in half. The two halves toppled to the ground and had turned to stone before they hit the floor.

Jarl stabbed a draconian.

Having dropped his staff, Kar moved up on one of the draconians (2) and punched it.

Olven switched weapons.

D’aden aims at one of the draconians (2) who now is in close combat with Kar.

With a clear view, Tarhall cast a spell at one of the draconians (1), but the draconian didn’t seem to be effected.

Sarah kept an eye out to cover their backs.

The draconian facing Olven stepped closer as it dropped its sword and tried to claw Olven, but Olven dodged.

The draconian facing Kar dropped its sword too, but its claws missed.

The last remaining draconian clawed Jarl (-3hp).

[Jarl (J) is now sharing a hex with 4 and Kar (K) is in the same hex as 2.]
[Both 3s are the two stone halves remains of 3. Olven (W) is in the same hex as 1.]

Bleeding rather profusely, Jarlianthas tries a desperate move.  Mumbling, with a wave of his hand, he attempts to lift the draconian off of its feet into the air.

08:43, Today: Jarlianthas Erethriel rolled 7 using 3d6. Levitation on Draconian #4 Target 15.

He mutters, "They'd be pretty tough with my sword stuck in a stone..."

More clearly, he says, "If you could retreat over that half-enemy, it would be my pleasure to take over this part of the fight for you, Jarlianthas."

(He will be ready with a shield block to use against enemy #4, either for him or a sacrifical block for Jarl.)

"Your sword in a stone?  Sounds legendary."  Grinning, Olven takes a step away, turns, and slices at his draconian.

OOC:  Move SW, turn, and Swing Attack Drac 1.

"Sounds like a pain, I like my sword. It fits my hand well, and... it kills draconians."

Having taken careful aim, D'aden waits for a good clear shot.
OOC: My character's just waiting for a good shot so he can give the lizardman a new piercing, and I'm bored, so I typed this in.
