The spearwoman pointed her weapon at Oriana, eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Met Happs, did you? And he gave you password?" She demanded in slightly broken Common. Unfortunately, the sorceress never had the chance to prove her authenticity by giving the correct passphrase, as...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Silas appeared to have failed to account for a key anatomical fact: people have two lungs. Thus even with a sharp piece of metal puncturing one lung the sentry still managed to give off a loud gurgling scream. Even Tsoni's bite failed to bring him down quickly enough before he could raise the alarm. All eyes were drawn to the watchpost where Silas was caught red-handed in the middle of the act of backstabbing the sentry. "Kill them!" Kressle shouted and the bandits sprang into action a split second ahead of the explorers.<br/><br/>Despite being stabbed and bitten the sentry on the eastern watchpost drew his own short blade and struck back at Silas, a valiant if ultimately futile attempt. The sentry on the western watchpost used the height afforded by his platform to draw a bead on Oriana and loosed. His aim was true and his arrow struck the sorceress in the shoulder.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Kressle and her two minions surged forward. Fortunately for Oriana, Adelise was in front of her to shield her from the pointy ends of their weapons. Less fortunately for Adelise, this meant that all their attacks were aimed at her. One of the bandits missed shamefully wide but the other managed to get a good stab at her with his short sword. While her minions were distracting the cavalier, the tribal spearwoman took a step forward and made a deadly thrust of her lance straight at Adelise's heart as she let out a whooping warcry!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Only counting Tsoni's bite attack as there's only a single move or standard action allowed in a surprise round.<br/><br/>Enemies win initiative!<br/>Bandit 2 drops the bow, draws a short sword and misses Silas (13 attack).<br/>Bandit 3 shoots at Oriana (16 attack), 4 damage if hit.<br/>Bandit 4 misses Adelise (5 attack).<br/>Bandit 5 attacks Adelise (20 attack), 4 damage if hit.<br/>Kressle attacks Adelise (19 attack), 10 damage if hit.<br/><br/>PC's turn.<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/ZbkEf1w.png)<br/></div></div>
