<strong>Round 1: Resolution</strong><br/><br/>Myranda springs into action first, daringly calling out her piratical challenge to the invaders and directing the people of the inn into action. The smith that she points at looks back at her with wide, confused eyes. Then the swashbuckler rolls forward, between the fear-stricken bodies of the inngoers, lancing her long whip out between the mass of people. Her aim is true and it strikes against the leg of one of the first hobgoblins through the doorway. He falls with a crash, growling out in anger and embarrassment.<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">If Myranda wants to get people to follow her instructions, I'll need a diplomacy or intimidate check, considering the stressful situation.</div></div><br/>Shiru, meanwhile, is in dire straights. The magus is unarmed and bereft of her magic. Her thunder fizzles in her palm, leaving her with only a dagger in her hand as her defence.<br/><br/>Akina's hatred for the foes so suddenly thrust upon her boils over into her seething threat. The ferocity of the words, uttered in their own language, casts the front ranks of hobgoblins into momentary disorder, each halting their advance for a moment, uncertain and wary.<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">H1, H2, and H3 are Shaken for the next round.</div></div><br/>Inkut is finally the one to close the distance fully to the hobgoblins. The barbarian stands, unlimbering her deadly blade and advancing to the inn's hobgoblin-flooded entrance.<br/><br/>Ayanah casts her protective barrier around herself. Her stammered attempt to move the villagers does little above the chaos and terror.<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">Same as with Myranda, Ayanah will need to try a diplomacy or intimidate check to get 'em to move.</div></div><br/>Rilka is easily lost in the thronging crowd, the halfling's short stature making her inconspicuous. But everyone can feel the burning exhortation of her voice, flooding them with newfound power.<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">For everyone, that's +1 on attack rolls and against fear for 1 minute.</div></div><br/>Takari draws her blades as well, joining Inkut and Myranda in the fray. Soon battle will be joined.<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">Same as with Myranda and Ayanah for moving the villagers.</div></div><br/><strong>Round 1: Enemies</strong><br/>A large, ocre-skinned hobgoblin with a thick beard stands at the rear of the squad breaking down the Taproot's door. He bellows an order to his men in goblin.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Goblin</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>"Advance! Kill those who resist. Take the rest."</strong></div></div><br/>His troopers attack. The unfortunate one laid low by Myranda's whip is in a bad spot, with both Inkut and Takari poised above him. Rather than stand, he hacks away at Takari's leg with his blade. But the swing is wild, his curved sword scratching across the floorboards rather than cutting into half-elven flesh. The other two in the front rank push deeper into the common room, growling and shoving patrons to the floor, menacing them with their swords. One takes a cut at Inkut, but the barbarian is able to deflect it without much trouble. The other pushes further across the floor, reaching the twin sisters Ayanah and Shiru. He hacks at the former of the two with an overhand blow. The arcanist's magical armour crackles, absorbing most of the blow. But it still stings with pain.<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">H2 attacks Takari - misses.<br/>H1 moves forward 1 space and attacks Inkut - misses.<br/>H3 moves forward 2 spaces and attacks Ayanah - hits for <strong>5 damage.</strong><br/>H4 and H5 move into the inn.</div></div><br/>Around the back of the inn, more clattering can be heard, followed by sharp, growling words and the smashing of a door. The reported attackers from this entrance won't take much longer...<br/><br/><strong>Round 2 Begins...</strong><br/><br/>(https://image.ibb.co/cVUzya/Screen_Shot_2017_09_10_at_9_54_26_AM.png)
