The opening attack was absolutely devastating to the ranks of bandits, wiping out the lion's share of their numbers without opposition.  Seeing the dire situation they were now in, the leader snapped this gaze to the group of prone bodies.<strong>"Lasrie, do something!"</strong>One of the four figures  had blearily opened his eyes and looked at the ambush as it took place, lethargically moving into action after being guided by the familiar commanding tone.  Throwing out his hand towards the group of fallen comrades, he shouted a word of power.<strong>"Fireball!"</strong>At his beck and call, a bead of flame raced over towards the mass and ignited into hungry flame that engulfed Zoey and Relina along with the princess and fallen compatriots while being careful to completely avoid hitting the covered box.<br/><br/>Before the smoke could even clear, the Leader dashed towards the chest and opened it, proceeding to rummage through its contents though none of you can see what for.  Eager to cover his boss, knowing that failing to do so would lead to a far worse fate, the remaining bandit charged the bunnygirl just as the magical flames disbursed.  His strike was true and his short blade bit into the monk's exposed flesh.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Map</div><div class="spoiler_body">Map (http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/masta_loki/Legacy/StreetsFirstEncounterv2.jpg)<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Zoey, Relina, and Illusion Girl take 25hp of damage, halved with DC 18 reflex save.<br/><br/>Zoey takes 5hp piercing damage.<br/></div></div>
