As the cobwebs of sleep fall away from Khasar he sits up. Filled with adrenaline for some reason he has the vague notion of having faught something.
oO"Didn't we lock that door?" He asks himself as he draws his sword. Suddenly he feels foolish, he is safe in a dwarven temple after all, so he whispers "Zanas, I always thought you were quieter than this." |

What the? Dwarves at this time of night?
Zanas darts behind the corner and peeks out, waiting to see what happens. Don't want to rush into anything, could be just a misunderstanding. But in case it isn't, I might be seeing what this nice rapier can do. She pauses, watching the Dwarves. Might want the crossbow first. She then readies her light crossbow, taking time to notch the bolt quietly. |

What... what trickery is this? The dwarves ambush us in the sanctuary they grant us? Without any light sources, Valarion shakes of the sleepiness and backs into the corner.
(OOC: 5-ft adjustment to the east, not standing up, and performs full defense action.) |

"What!" Khasar starts as he is attacked, "By the Gods! Wake up and fight Gron'rindul."
With that Khasar leaps to his feet and throws his full weight behind the blow he strikes at the nearest foe. (OOC: Stand and attack the dwarf to the south, between Khasar and Valarion.) [Edit: Edited for clarity] |

If that isn't hostile, I don't know what is.
Zanas hustles over to the door and fires. OOC:Move to a the closest point where firing won't involve an AoO. |

Gron'rindul will rise with his axe. He looks over his foe inorder to determine its nature.
[if he can determine that they are undead...] Gron'rindul holds the symbol of his god forth and attempts to turn them. [If not....] Gron'rindul defends himself best that he can while saying, "Why do you attack us?" [Rise to feet holding axe (hopefully). If he can tell if these are the same kind of skeletons that they had fought with ealier (or any kind of undead at that matter), he will make a turning attempt (don't forget my Minor Amulet of Turning). If he can't tell for sure this round, he will take the total defense action.] |

Qayan gasps and his crimson eyes flare to brilliance at the rude awakening. Twisting in a wholly unnatural way, the tiefling pulls his Thayan Longblade from its sheath, flooding the chamber with an azure light, and quickly assumes a defensive posture in an attempt to ward off blows.
(OOC: Total Defense Action. Draw longsword, kip-up atop bench (Tumble +10). Totals: ToHit: N/A. Damage: None. Current AC: AC19 = (Base AC19 + 1 (new ring of protection) - 6 (no armor) -1 (no buckler) + 6 (Total Defense, 5+ ranks in Tumble))) |

Seeing how quickly the dwarves fall Khasar decided to change tactics, Slipping behind the dwarf directly in front of Valarion, Khasar attacks it with the flat of his blade.
(OOC: 5' step south and attack dwarf directly west of Valarion. Trying for subdual damage.) |

Their minds are not their own! Strike to subdue!

Gron'rindul will wait until Qayan deals with the one next to him, and then moves west and attempts to keep the most seriously injured dwarf from dying.
Delay until after Qayan, Move 5', Switch out Tongue of Angels for CMinW, target Dwarf in NW corner, casting on Defensive if necessary.] |

What? It fell from just one bolt? This is odd.
Zanas moves in closer, realizing what is happening. In case it is needed, Zanas will try to knock out a dwarf. |

Mind tricks? It would appear that our new friends down below does not enjoy our previous rampage. Having no viable ways of dealing with the dwarves without hindering his party, Valarion passively defends himself.
(OOC: Full defense) |

Illithid Lair, Surprise Round | ||
|
Posts: 7052 (12/16/03 14:07:31) |
The Illithid (levitating well above floor level) has triggered a portcullus, dropping it behind Valarion and Khasar. As well, he has unleashed a Mind Blast upon Valarion and Khasar, but both of them manage to make their saving throws!
Initiatives for round 1 are as follows: Zanas: 23 Qayan: 22 Illithid: 17 We're trying an experiment with the Initiative system, to allow you to better react both as a group, and in response to monster actions. As such, Gron'rindul, Valarion and Khasar's initiatives, being after the Illithid, will post their actions with next round...at the top of the count before Zanas and Qayan. Feel free to contact me via email, ICQ, or any other preferred method of communication to debate the cyclical nature of initiative at length so that I can explain that you are NOT losing an action, being cheated out of a move, or anything else of the sort. So to clarify, for Round 1 (only) I only want combat actions from Zanas and Qayan. Normal rounds with everyone posting will start with round 2 (which actually is about half of round 1 as well). Gron'rindul: 12 Valarion: 5 Khasar: 3  |

Illithid Lair, Round 1 | ||

Zanas, hearing the sound of a porticullis slamming, runs a bit right of the entrance to the second column, while taking out her crossbow.
OOC: Double move (I think 90 feet will make it) to right of the entrance (2S, 1E of the square the porticullis is "in"), while drawing the light crossbow (free with move). Preferably, I'd like it if it isn't obvious to the illithid that a black elf-like thing is running towards it. |

Zanas approaches rapidly, drawing her light crossbow in the process.
Qayan darts to the portcullus, heaving upon it. He strains, but isn't quite able to lift it...at least not alone. Another wave of mental force rains down from above, hammering both Valarion and Khasar. This time, both succumb, and fall limp to the ground. Round 2 begins. The order is: Gron'rindul Valarion (unconscious) Khasar (unconscious) Zanas Qayan The Illithid  Qayan's assumed action for this round has been revised. He wishes to rage, and try again to open the portcullus. |

Cursing upon seeing the portcullus go down, Gron'rindul moves quickly over to it, in preperation of lifting it.
[Full Move 40' N, next to portcullus. Want to get in a position where Qayan can help Gron'rindul lift] |

No! They have fallen! This is not good, they could be killed in front of our eyes by that . . . thing!
Not seeing the Mind Flayer yet, and knowing that she would just crowd the others at the porticullis, Zanas starts to apply poison to a crossbow bolt. |
