<strong>Round 2: Resolution</strong><br/>The inn's panicked patrons begin to calm – relatively – under Rilka's rebukes and Myranda's directions. They start to find cover, ducking down behind the bar, or huddling under tables. A few grab chair legs or other simple weapons, but they're not fighters.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The difficult terrain is no longer in effect.</div></div><br/>Myranda swiftly dashes across the chaotic common room. She maneuvers alongside the relatively small, greenish-tinged hobgoblin that so recently struck Ayanah, saucily gets his attention, and then stabs him through the chest. While he comes away bleeding and injured, he doesn't drop. Instead, the red jab-mark seems to anger him. Shiru tries to exploit the opening that Myranda creates, but her dagger – even with its humming arcane power – skitters off the hobgoblin's leather and mail armour.<br/><br/>Ayanah can't manage to invoke her spell. As she starts to necessary motions and incantations, the greenish warrior wheels wildly, raising up his sword preemptively. He's surrounded, and quickly spins back to face Myranda and Shiru, but the damage is done and the spell fizzles from the arcanist's mind.<br/><br/>Rilka clambours up onto a table, shouting for calm and weaving her magic. The lights seem to dim for a moment as the halfling locks the hobgoblin attacking Ayanah in place. His own shadow seems to clutch at his ankles so that he cannot retreat as the other surround him.<br/><br/>By the inn's front door, Takari slashes nimbly with her pair of blades. The downed soldier as no luck, slashed deep across his shoulder. He's not dead, but his dark, predatory face has a shocked, drained quality to it after the blow. Unfortunately, the rogue can't finish the deed: her second strike is deflected away with a shower of splinters. Then, with a tremendous chop followed by a wet crunch, Inkut fells the first of the hobgoblins. Her greatsword hacks through his body, nearly cleaving it in two. He falls limply to the ground.<br/><br/>Akina meanwhile makes for the rear door of the inn, taking up a defensive position in front of it with her sword and shield at the ready...<br/><br/><strong>Round 2: Enemies</strong><br/><br/>...The common room's rear door bursts open under the force of an armoured boot. A trio of hobs are on the other side, ready to kill. The first one crosses the threshold, only to be met by Akina's cold steel. He takes the point of her sword through his throat, gurgling and collapsing. His compatriots snarl and curse, hurling themselves at the ranger. One, with the doorframe between himself and his target, has difficulty striking. The other scores a glancing blow, his short, crooked blade effective in the close-quarters fighting.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">4 damage to Akina.</div></div><br/>On the other side of the Taproot's floor, the attackers continue their advance, pushing hard against the inn's defenders. The surrounded, greenish hobgoblin, held in place by Rilka's shadow magic, swings wildly, his blow badly aimed as he struggles to backpedal but finds that he cannot. His fellows step up to try and join him though. The burly commander joins the fray as well, sensing that the battle is not going as cleanly as anticipated. Inkut manages to catch his blow on the crossguard of her sword, but doing so allows one of his troopers to jab her in the side. Myranda's cockiness doesn't pay off and she takes a deep gash from one of the soldiers, her raised blade failing to deflect the attack.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">4 damage to Inkut and 6 to Myranda.</div></div><br/>The fallen hobgoblin, wounded by Takari, tries to back away and escape. But escape proves deadly. His attempt to stand gives both Inkut and Takari an opportunity to strike, and he dies with both their blades in his body.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">I rolled AoOs for both Takari and Inkut.
