Well, so much for having no reason to cut these guys apart.  Bows were already being reached for, and those spiders were starting to get nasty.  And all because she'd stated that they were going after Astos...  Or, rather, searching for a man with some arcane knowledge.  She was definitely going to have to try and take at least one of these guys alive for questioning.<br/><br/>"You'll want to activate your Ring of Blinking."  Rose counselled, before thinking the command phrase that would cause her armor to Blur the air around her.  She didn't have time to activate her own ring, not without giving those elves a chance to fire.  She could still get someone rather deadly into their midst, though...  "We'll be jumping right into the thick of it.  I'll cover the spiders, you take the elves."<br/><br/>And an instant later, they teleported over, right up next to and between those two elven bowmen.  Instantly, Rose readied herself to deal with the spiders above, leaving Aria to deal with the two warriors around them.  It briefly occurred to her after the teleport that she probably could have used the new function added to her belt to activate her Blinking Ring after all...  But given that that would have taken up two charges, she quickly set that notion aside, deciding to save it for if the elves and/or spider proved tougher to take down.  She couldn't do anything about it after the teleport, anyway.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Initiative Roll (1d20+9=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2719535/)  Finally, I get to go first. ;D<br/><br/>Rose takes a swift action to activate her Greater Blurring armor and then, of course, is going to Dimension Door up to the two, taking Aria along and placing her directly between the two elves, while the shifter herself is going to sit one square to the north.  Then, in case the spiders drop down, thus provoking AoOs...<br/><br/>Two attacks of opportunity, Power Attacking for 4 (+10 to damage). (1d20+27=47, 1d20+27=42) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2719542/)  Note that the Bracers of Opportunity give me a +2 competence bonus to AoOs, which is factored into the roll, and that my shiny new Gauntlets of Might and Dexterity are providing a +2 to damage, since I Power Attacked for more than 2.<br/><br/>Rolling to confirm crit. (1d20+27=33) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2719551/)  Note that if this is a successful critical hit, we're looking at 4d4+54 damage, and that it's 2d4+27 on just a regular hit.  Granted, they have to provoke the AoOs, first, and they might very well decide to try and Web us, instead...
