<strong>Round 2: Resolution</strong><br/><br/>Stung by the blow to her person, Myranda vaults backward across the common room, retreating away from the hobgoblin attackers, toward the bar counter which is – for now – safe from the monstrous invaders. The swashbuckler's potion puts her back in fighting form, the sweet liquid knitting together the bleeding wound.<br/><br/>At the back door of the inn, Akina grimly slashes the second hobgoblin to try his luck across the throat. His body falls on top of his fellow's in a growing pile of greyish corpses.<br/><br/>Shiru and Ayanah are still struggling with the hobgoblin in front of them, without any luck. Ayanah's magic fizzles once more in the heat of combat, while Shiru's dagger proves ineffectual against her opponent.<br/><br/>Takari leaps nimbly over the railing of the inn's staircase, dropping down at its foot, ready to strike. The hobgoblin leader, a hulking, muscled specimen with a long scar down his cheek, is caught off-guard by the sudden shift of position. The rogue's sword stabs into his side, drawing dark blood and an enraged curse from her victim.<br/><br/>Inkut's greatsword strikes a glancing blow against one of the few warriors left standing in the doorway. But with such a large weapon, 'barely' is enough. He goes crumpling to the ground, his arm shorn almost all the way off by the strike, and Inkut steps victoriously over his fallen form.<br/><br/>Rilka, meanwhile, gets her crossbow ready for use. Her plea for answers goes unheeded...<br/><br/><strong>Round 2: Enemies</strong><br/><br/>For the first time since the sudden attack began, the hobgoblins find themselves outnumbered, the floor littered with three of their dead, while Akina has slain two more in the rear doorway. Still, they aren't backing off. The soldier tangled in Rilka's shadowy trap cannot, even though his eyes show more flight than fight. He aims a clumsy swing of his sword at Ayanah, but the mage ducks it easily.<br/><br/>The hobgoblin's burly captain turns on Takari, but the wound she's dealt him makes him slow. The rogue sidesteps and parries the hacking slashes that he rains down on her. The last of his warriors, meanwhile, tries to stand his ground against Inkut. He can't get past the barbarian's bloody blade, though, stymied in his attack.<br/><br/>Just as it seems the battle is turning decisively in the party's favour, the hobgoblins that Akina is holding back lash out at her. The one in the doorway thrusts the tip of his blade around the side of her shield, catching the ranger with a brutal blow to the ribs. His fellow follows up, laying into her with the flat of his sword. "You'll be our slave, bitch," he snarls in the Goblin tongue.<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">That's 8 lethal and 5 nonlethal damage to Akina.

She's essentially right in the middle of the inn, so she has a fair few options. She can move to attack any of the hobgoblins left in the common room (H3, H4, and the HC). She can also reach Akina's spot at the rear entrance and attack H6 or H9 (H6 has partial cover because he's around the edge of the doorway, though).</div></div>
