With the departure of the naga back to the heart of the battle, Albali and Turilia have their opening to press the remainders near the more vulnerable door. Unfortunately, Albali's hex goes awry, as the catfolk simply shakes his head in a transitory daze rather than obliging her by passing out. Ain has no snarky comments about that, at least. Turilia, taking a more proactive approach, hops up on the table and bashes at the another guard's head. She hits- she could<span style="font-style: italic">swear</span>she hits- but some tremor passes through her hands and out, and she finds that she in fact did not hit the evasive feline. While she gawps at that, the catfolk spins away from Gorun and turns to face her. His sword cuts at her, slashing a shallow gash in clothes only without doing any harm to the magus beneath. Gorun is not so lucky; his foe stabs at the monk's chest and shoves the point of his blade in, but misses anything vital by a few inches in any direction. Hurts like a demon, but he'll live... and seeing that, the guard starts backing away, half-turning his head towards Albali and the open door with a desperate look on his face. Compared to that, the pitifully weak flailings of the guard halfway in Gorun's maw barely even register. Also desperate are the gnomes- the prettier of the two (perhaps) ducks behind the naga's coils, using his captain as a shield against the more immediate threat as he reloads; the other backs almost into her, flinging another stone at Xiathe that glances off his shoulder.<br/><br/>[[Actions:<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Albali casts and Ain moves; Will save succeeds with an 18.<br/>Turilia's attack succeeds, *but*: Feat Black Cat triggers, forcing a reroll, which misses!
