Another minotaur charged out of the doorway and turned right to come into contact with Sapphiria.
He then swung his great axe at her.
for a possible slashing damage.
A third minotaur came out and turned left, double moving around a pillar to come into contact with Kyra.
A fourth minotaur came out of the doorway and turned right. He waived his hands and called down an Unholy Blight on Sappiria, Keldon, Alorah and Thrall.
This will deal 8 points damage and sicken them 3 rounds to Good creatures (half and no sickened for neutrals). Will save DC14 to reduce it to half damage and no sickened.
Round 2_____________________
Players take their turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.
Effortlessly shrugging off the worst effects of the unholy spell, Alorah quickly produces a scroll, reading off the powerful glyphs bound to the vellum to call forth an ally in the battle.

Sapphiria is caught flat-footed, takes a hefty blow and then gets rocked by the magic as well, leaving her bloodied.
She counters with her own blade.
Taedric: Taedric and Knave are not grappled and are not prone, so yes they can full attack. Might be too close for the lance though.
Sapphiria: Since both sides started combat alert and readied, no one is flat-footed at start of combat.

He almost froze at the sound of the bellows his mind instantly traveling back to that fateful moment in the keep where the undead minotaur killed him...The goddess had been with him then.. she would be with him now. Then the unholy wave washed over him and he immeadiately felt sick and unclean.
Seeing Sapphiria and Alorah almost in harms way he strode forward despite feeling like he was going to lose his lunch. He swung hard making sure he got its attention.
Taedric takes a moment to catch his wind before directing his companion to attack - pausing only a second before swinging the sword in his hand at the fiend.

All of a sudden, Thrall and his teammates are surrounded by minotaurs! These are dangerous beasts, strong and big. Thrall shrugs off the attempt at cursing him and quickly closes in to start evening the odds.

NPC Kyra
Kyra, uncomfortable at the nearness of a rampaging half-demon minotaur, tumbled back out of reach of it. He got a swing off on her, but she beat him, just barely.
Safely out of reach of the enemy, she cast Mirror Images, and now there are eight of her.

Taedric Starfell Both Knave and Taedric hit their AoOs as the Minotaur drove them back into the parapet walls.

Minotaur 4 waived his hands and Darkness blacks out all light in the area.
Only those who have Darkvision can see normally. Those without can hear which squares their enemies are in, but have to make a 50% miss chance as they are invisible to you.
Round 3_____________________
Players take their turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.
A Hound Archon appears!
A sensation of burning righteous fury fills the area, as the summoned Hound Archon begins attacking the nearest of the demons, beginning with a sword slash and bite at the healtier of the closest two, before executing a devastating cut on the already wounded one.
Confirm
Meanwhile, Alorah takes careful aim, her eyes peering easily through the gloom as she takes careful aim, firing a cold iron bolt at the demon facing Grey that still misses in the chaos of the battle.
Suddenly it all turns black. Thrall's orcish blood is thin enough that his ability to see in darkness is weaker than other half breeds, ao he hesitates for a second, thinking about what to do.
"Someone turns the lights back on!" he shouts, and then decides it's time to help from the rearguard while one of his allies finds a way to fix the problem.
The minotaur down and lunging, Taedric directs Knave as best he can, then the two lunge forward, striking at an opening.

That's right, prone Minotaur 1 stood up on his turn, so all the characters around him in reach are eligible to make AoO's on him.

Seeing the darkness erupt covering his friends he took a deep breath and began chanting out a spell... A brilliant flare of light, as bright as his beloved sun began to erupt out of his shield.. burning through the darkness.
"Your shadows can not hide you fiends... We walk in Sarenrae's light... and you cannot hide from our justice."
He called out.

He closed his eyes and focused on the light, healing his wounded friend Gray with the simpliest of spells of healing. . .
Since it worked before, Sapphiria hurls another javelin.
And it works this time, too!
Round 4 completed_____________________
Alorah resisted the Unholy Blight, only taking 5 damage.
Thrall also resisted the Unholy Blight, only taking 5 damage.
Thrall decidedly walks towards the remaining minotaur and lets his sword fall upon it. Powering through the Minotaur’s defenses, he dealt catastrophic damage, but he still stood!
Alorah’s summoned Hound archon steps forward, pressing the attack with an overhand sword strike that was deflected, and a quick attempt an biting the demon which was blocked, before finding a vulnerable spot with a low sword strike as the demon is caught for modest damage.
Taedric directs Knave to move over the felled Minotaur, closing the distance with the last standing beast. Only to find nothing to do, as the last Minotaur crashed to the floor.
Sapphiria finds it unnecessary to hurl her poised javelin.
Kelden healed his wounded friend Gray with the simpliest of spells of healing for 18. . .
"Shall we move on, or would it be better to quickly patch up the worst of our injuries first?" Alorah asks he companions as they catch their breath after the violent battle.
Taedric says, "If anyone's really hurt, let's deal with it now. Easier to tend to the wounded than the dead."
Looking to make sure his friends and allies were close enough he whispered a prayer to his goddess and let the light flow through him from her grace.
"They know we're here, so I believe it would be best for us to keep moving as quickly as possible if we can, before they can muster stronger resistance." Alorah suggests after everyone has been healed.
Taedric nods, "Agreed. Strike while they're still in chaos."
As the others re-gird their loins, Grey makes his way through the doors which had concealed such a bellicose surprise.
On the wall in front of you is the stylized icon of Abadar (vandalized of course) with dwarven runic writing on the wall to the south. You think you hear grunts and movement to the south.
Sapphiria nods her assent with Alorah and Taedric.
Eye's widening at the sounds & sights he beholds, Grey quickly scampers quietly to a far corner of the previous chamber gesturing wildly at the others to follow him.
Once there, he whispers "I can hear sounds of activity further in. Also, they defaced part of one of the walls with Dwarven Writing. It looks like the command quarters may be nearby."
"Isn't one of our targets, Staunton Vhane, the dwarven turncoat? It looks like he may be operating here." Alorah points out quietly.
Thrall slightly closes his eyes at the hearing of the traitor's name.
"We'll have to be careful - I'm sure Vhane won't be an easy target, note will he be likely to be on this own."
However, his body language is clear: he wants to go ahead.
Taedric nods, "Good thinking, Alorah. Well, I guess that gives us another target here."
With, to his mind, a majority of his comrades in accord to press on, Grey nods decisively before quietly scampering back to the farthest corner he had previously spied to cautiously peek around.
