At least a moment. Also, she's being useful leading the trogles away. However he spots two commoners screaming in horde of skeletons and trogles and telepathically informs Darian about it.<br/><br/><em>Meanwhile</em><br/><br/>Darian smiles to the shyly smiling woman and replies overall all of them; "Be careful, if you go that direction there are no trogles and may encounter constructs helping people to safety." Then he gets a note by Ardar about the commoners and spots the priestess as well. He does the same thing as before; contact the women's minds with a calm presence, offering help if they let him inside their minds. As he remains in the same balcony which was now emptied, he readies to use his maneuver soon but he has no time to focus does a psychic surge to empower himself to do so. So he uses his remaining focus to grant Ardar a sudden surge of movement.<br/><br/>Ardar feels the surge, immediately using it he surges swiftly towards the largest group of trolgres, albeit both Alaya and N'Dara could probably handle it, but their both ranged specialists and they need someone to distract the trolgres. Swiftly he had moved adjacent to nearest one, as he had moved, into his hands appear a pair of vicious tri-blade katars (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61b3vVAYRNL._AC_SL1024_.jpg), with the shadowy mist they formed into his hands as if they have always been there and blades were pointed forward like vicious claws and even broad daylight the blades seemed to drain light around them into an endless cold void and leave a shadowy trail as he moves.<br/><br/>Ardar had been so far in his favorite stance; stance belonging to thrashing dragon style;<em>Inner Sphere Stance</em>. There was outer sphere philosophy which made stylists elusive and dancing with dual blades, defensive technique. Whereas inner turns stylist into a vicious beast with two claws. He channels his legs, shoulders, and arms, as he takes a more brawling sort of pose with the claws, channeling his Ki into blood flow through them bolster his movement and speed with surge of power as he then initiates his technique on the trolgre;<em>Dragon Assault!</em><br/><br/>He makes a quick sweeping strike with his katar on trolgre, after first swipe he makes quick thrust towards trolgre's chest, then crouch and reverse whirl with other katar and then brutal slicing upward cut intending cut open the guts and chest towards the chin with the three claw like blades! Every strike powered with the principle of boxing, purest unarmed style, to have intense striking power, followed by stance which bolsters savagery of his attacks and the technique which makes every blow after first have more and more power thanks build up momentum and opening created by first blows. More so, each blade delivered a chilling touch of the void, causing a freezing sting whenever blades landed.<br/><br/><em>"May not shut down regeneration but should hurt a lot."</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Darius and Arda commune telepathically their findings, if Darius can see the priestess and the two screaming commoner women he places them into the collective and dismisses the three women he connected earlier. Move action he activates Path of Dedication power, granting a move action to anyone in collective (this case to Ardar). Ardar uses it to get close range to trolgre, then use free action conjure his mind blades (mimic chosen weapon of thrashing dragon style, as he has been in inner sphere stance since arrival), swift action activate Iron Knuckle boost maneuver, then use full-round action to use <em>Dragon Assault</em> maneuver on trolgre (basically full attack with dmg boost based on the number of attacks you do). Stance gives +2d6 dmg each attack (and -1 to AC), attacks give +1d6 stacking dmg after the first attack (last fourth doing 3d6), and boost maneuver provides +4d6 dmg to every strike. Also as shadow blades, they do 1d6 cold dmg per hit.<br/><br/>First Attack: 35 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152545) = Base weapon dmg: 10 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152549) + Cold Dmg: 1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152553) + Boost+Stance Dmg: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152557) = 30<br/>Second Attack: 28 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152548) = Base weapon dmg: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152550) + Cold Dmg: 6 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152554) + Boost+Stance Dmg: 23 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152558) + Strike Dmg: 5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152561) = 47<br/>Third Attack: 32 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152546) = Base weapon dmg: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152551) + Cold Dmg: 6 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152555) + Boost+Stance Dmg: 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152559) + Strike Dmg: 11 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152562) = 51<br/>Fourth Attack: 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152547) = Base weapon dmg: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152552) + Cold Dmg: 5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152556) + Boost+Stance Dmg: 15 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152560) + Strike Dmg: 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=152563) = 46<br/><br/>Funny thing; if any had rolled 19 or above on hit, x4 crit would have applied to all dmg besides the cold one. Either way <em><strong>total 174pts dmg</strong></em>, if all attacks land and target not resistant to cold nor magic piercing attacks. If can reach more than one trolgre in the melee range, then target each trolgre with two attacks each.<br/><br/>Ardar's AC is 25 atm. He can use immediate action but otherwise is tapped in actions.<br/></div></div>
