So it begins...
Armat charges at the treacherous guardsmen, noting that they did not wear the holy symbols of Helm like he chose to do. He swung with his warhammer at the captain but fails to connect as the captain expertly dodges the attack.
Jarsali moves to interpose herself between the guards and Celeste/Shandril. Her whip cracks like thunder in the alley as they move closer, striking on of the shield bearers. Green flames jump from her foe to one of the archers behind him, scorching them. With the power of her mind, Jarsali then pulls the other archer forward, knocking him into the back of the other shield bearer, knocking them down.
Celeste manifests once more her dark patron's power, aiming her dark power against the already injured archer, dispatching the rogue guardman.
Sariel knocks an arrow, her eyes narrowing as it flies to strike the other archer, impaling the man through the chest.
The guard captain, seeing his archers fall in rapid succession, swings his great sword against Armat, the foe closest to him. The great blade strikes true against the cleric of Helm, knocking the wind from the priests body (12 points of slashing damage). The spearman who is knocked prone moves to stand, then aims at Jarsali, the paladin's whip representing a fearsome weapon apparently. The other spearman moves in tandem, moving to flank the holy warrior. The injured spearman is unable to hit the paladin, but other strikes true against the paladin (8 points of piercing damage).
