Rayne's first arrow caught the man square in the chest, and she even saw a small flash of light that marked its holy property activating at the moment of impact, sinking deeply between his ribs!<del> but the arrow itself only pierced his skin shallowly instead of lodging itself deeply in his lung as it should have. He had damage reduction that was reducing the damage of her attacks, even if it was not sufficient to completely negate them!</del><br/><br/>Meanwhile Grogza was wailing away at her mannequin foe like a lumberjack, cutting it down to size with another chop of her axe, getting closer to felling it for good. She seemed to have things under control, so Lizzy turned her head in Rayne's and the man's direction, to see the arrow sticking out of his chest!<br/><br/>"What's going on?" she demanded, clutching her dagger defensively as she entered the store, looking back at forth between the two of them.<br/><br/>"Help! Your crazy friend is attacking me!" He claimed, looking straight into the wizard's eyes. Rayne saw Lizzy's eyes go unfocused for a moment, just a moment, and then she was back to normal... apparently. He did not wait around, but immediately after that turned tail and fled, passing through a doorway to enter the back area of the store.<br/><br/>"Rayne! Have you gone mad?" Lizzy now demanded of the half-elf.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Back of the store</div><div class="spoiler_body">It takes a move action to enter the back area of the store.<br/><br/>Rows of racks and bins containing various crafting materials, both metal and non-metal, line this employee-only area. Any attempt to pick them up automatically fails - they are still marked as the store's inventory. They offer cover (+4 AC) against ranged attacks, unless the shooter is within 10 feet of her target (and Rayne has enough speed to get that close or even adjacent to the man as part of her move action).<br/><br/>A magic circle large enough for a medium-sized creature to fit in, in the shape of a pentagram inscribed within a circle and ringed with five (currently unlit) candles one for each point of the pentagram, had been drawn on the floor of one corner. Beside it are a finely crafted one-person mahagony desk covered in writing materials and arcane components as well as a chair, that looked like they have been brought over from the wood store next door. The man is moving towards the magic circle and/or desk, and will reach them next round.<br/><br/>He has 20 AC and if Rayne tries to cast a spell on him, he has 18 SR.<br/></div></div>
