<span style="font-style: italic">Actually, Belle beat Marrok's initiative. It's not actually a problem, since Belle was going to delay her action anyway (not for reasons you'll like, though), just saying. I don't want to discourage people from posting their actions out of order, neccessarily, but understand that if you post your action out of initiative order you're giving me some license to interpret it. I'll try to follow the spirit of your action, but it may need to be adjusted for changed conditions. If there's a HUGE difference in the field before your action comes up, I'll end the post there and give you a chance to rewrite your action.</span><br/><br/>Though most of the other mercenaries can't see the unlucky target of Saraphina's coruscating red beam of chaos-energy, they can hear a pained yelp.<br/><br/>The energetic bunny-girl takes one look at the formidable melee fighters arranged at the enemy center and sprints off to the side with a smirk, proving remarkably light on her feet.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Mirelle runs to I-13 (does not grant combat advantage), then uses a power to shift 3 squares to L-13, throw a javelin at Saraphina, then shift back to I-13.<br/><br/>22 to hit vs. AC. Saraphina takes 14 damage.</span><br/><br/>Even as Saraphina attacks, the bunnygirl springs out from behind the bushes to her right, hurls a javelin with deadly accuracy, and springs back in a single leap even as the missile strikes home.<br/><br/>Belle hefts her fearsome axe and crouches, but she does not move yet. Instead, she watches the opposition with predatory patience.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Belle delays. Sophia moves to H-12 and uses 'Slash and Dash' on Mirelle, making 1 attack, shifting to F-12, and making a dagger attack on wolf2.<br/><br/>21 to hit Mirelle. 5 damage.  25 to hit wolf2. 7 damage. Wolf2 bloodied.</span><br/><br/>Sophia rushes forward just as quickly, weaving between the hazardous foliage fearlessly as she seeks to close with the enemies. The seasoned tiefling warrior looks a little surprised to see Mirelle rushing foward, but she wastes no time taking the opportunity to strike with her flashing blades. Mirelle is too agile for the bounty hunter to score more than a few tiny cuts, though. With a sigh, she casually hurls her current dagger at the unfortunate wolf, nailing it right in the foreleg, and pulls out another one.<br/><br/>The lizardman lets out a worried-sounding hiss as he sees the full extent of the enemy force. "W-wait," he says, "Ssshouldn't we retreat inside?" he says as he moves over to Kelso's side. The presence of the burly human seems to reassure him, and he turns to launch a javelin of his own at Garhu.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Marutok barely hits Garhu's ac, 4 damage and a secondary attack vs. fort, misses it.</span><br/><br/>A primitive spear catches Garhu in the arm as he tries to draw his bow, drawing a yelp; he immediately yanks it out. "Grrrh!" he snarls. "It tingles... that wretched little toad has poisoned javelins!"<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Marrok takes his action, charges Belle and hits</span><br/><br/>The tigress shifter glares at Marrok with disdain, his attack not having even drawn blood. "Hnh. I'd suggest you start begging for your life now, but you'll have plenty of time for that after you go down my throat. You look like a real squirmer... I like that."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Initiative order:<br/><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Saraphina: 21<br/>Mirelle: 19<br/>Sophia: 14<br/>Marutok: 11<br/>Marrok: 10+</span><br/>Salana: 10-<br/>Belle: 9++<br/>Gahru: 9+<br/>Tolren: 9-<br/>Wolves: 8<br/>Kelso: 7<br/><br/>Enemy status:<br/>Mirelle - HP: 65/70.
