The Outlaw calls out "help me Jaris!"
As he uses his crossbow to ward off the impending doom and tries to stand....

Rboud aoo: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 = 16 miss
And he 5 foot steps back.

The scout runs through a door yelling "Tarrin! We are beseiged" and the door is shut behind him.

Agriver will step into the room readying a flank for Rboud on the outlaw. He silently curses wondering if his sword is made of smoke as it harmlessly sails over the head of the dancing rogue.

Great Sword w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 1 = 10

Yon takes a moment to chant and wave his hands, then place a spell on Rbuod. Casts Magic Fang

Continuing to follow his orders, Rbuod now takes a bigger bite from the bandit, trying to make up for looking the ohter way when the chew toy stood up.

Bite +5, Magic Fang, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 12

... but unfortunately he just nips at the smoke trail left by Aggy's sword.

Spyridon taps Robin with his wand, then rushes past him, behind Vala again.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Keep up! There's more to take down ahead."

The door opens south of ayon and a man is standing there...
"what is all this damn ruck.... aaah! More test subjects! Hssss!" the man is grinning.

From behind him, a dull grey snake, with a metalic look, slithers out and moves at Yon.

"Yon! Vala! Rboud! Why are you just standing there?"

Shaking his head, Robin cocks an arrow, draws, and fires at the indescript man who we somehow know as 'Jaris', guessing he was the cause of the shiny lights.

"Aggy! Drop that guy quickly! Our friends need help!"

"ow damn it!"

The outlaw steps away from Agriver, draws a sword and stabs the blind Rboud... seemingly using his crossbow as a makeshift shield.

EDIT: Ninja'd for the courage!

In Azlanti, "Robbie! I hope you're ready!" Yon says, taking a 5' step into the alcove beside him. Hoping and preparing for the snake to come past this way, between himself and Vala. Ready to attack if the square Yon left become occupied by an enemy!

Agriver wants to get to the caster, but can't seem to bypass the outlaw. Stepping up he levels his blade at the outlaw again.

In Azlanti, Robin yells out, "Come on, Aggy! I know you can hit the dude! I've seen you kill bad guys before!"

"It's not in my best interest to stay here for long, so take your shots now Robin!"

Identify the snake thing?

Yon grips his [new] pearl of power, and issues the command he was given, snoochi-boochies, recalling and re-channeling the magic of Long Strider while he begins to cast from the alcove.

Casting Summon Nature's Ally

Agriver frustrated with his lack of connecting hefts his blade in an overhead chop as hard as he can.

Agriver slaughters the wounded outlaw.

Scared for his life, Jaris steps back into his room, kisses his ring and throws a wide angled spell.

And draws a sword.

"Nope, don't even worry about me everything is fine down here on the ground just gonna make sure that the wolf stays up."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Maintain, 10/11

Agriver turns the corner and brings his greatsword around the corner with all his might. The sword slices across Jaris's neck and slides smoothly down to his hip straight into the door frame.

Jaris doesn't even have time to scream before his lifeless body slumps over.

The cobra continues his assault on Rboud.

Yon finishes his cast with something that sounds like "rikki, teeekiii dah vee", and on top of Spyridon, he summons... what must only be a dire mongoose certainly not a dire rat (whose stats are being used due to this being core and all) because rats get eaten by cobras, whereas mongooses eat cobras! and commands the dire rat Mongoose! to eat the cobra.

Spyridon reaches to tap Rboud once more..

...then covers his head and lays there silently, trying not to think of the creature above him.

The mongoose missed.

Still recovering from the momentum of the last swing, Agriver stumbles on his follow thru.

Greatsword, Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 1 = 10

Robin just shoots over the prone Spanky at the cobra.
shot 1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 23 damage? Probably not: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 14
shot 2: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 19

Yup, I am assuming two misses here, unless GM Kashka is generous with the cover since Spanky is lying on the ground. 20 shots, 8 hits.

soft cover from prone Spyridon.

Robin gets an arrow to hit... but doesn't seem to damage it as much as a perfect shot should have.

The snake bites out at Rboud
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Bite +1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Agriver kneels down next to Rboud and inspects him along side Yon.

Heal Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"We should get him and us into a defensible position. This hallway exposes our flanks to closed rooms."

The paladin picks up Rboud and moves him into the southern room and places him on the table.

"Who needs to be healed?"

Nodding at Vala, "Can you see if you can sneak about and check the corpses of our foes for anything that may help us?"

Looking over at Robin as well "If you are able to stealth it may pay to send her some backup. The whole rest of this floor knows we are here.. we have precious little time"

Agriver will tend to the wounded

Agriver cannot tell what ails Rboud, but assumes it is poison and attempts to treat Rboud. He caries him into the room Jaris came from....

This room is full of small cages containing rabbits, mice, rats, cats, and dogs. The din is deafening, and the room smells strongly of animal waste. The animals all appear to be hostile and malnourished... and the appear strange in multiple ways... multi-colored fur, strange vocal sounds, unusual smells and some even glow in the dark.

what about Robin, Yon & Spyridon?

"Well, that isn't right. Glad you removed his head from his shoulders, JUSTICE-boy!" Once it is apparent that Rboud isn't waking up, and we've got her in a defensible position, Robin is going to go and collect up his arrows. Unfortunately, it appears his luck in finding arrows is about as good as his luck in hitting through narrow arrow slits.

He'll also check the areas he "left" arrows for other interesting things.

"The animals can cover any noise we might make, get ourselves in there and start dragging the bodies in."

Spyridon pulls himself up and brushses himself off, tucking the wands away and hefting up the nearest body, heading into the loud room.

Yon spends a few moments trying to nudge Rbuod awake, then allows Agriver to carry the wolf to somewhere safe.

Yon looks around, disturbed by the cacophony around him in the room. "This room! These poor creatures! Agriver you did the right thing in killing that vile man, though these creatures must yet be healed and saved."

"But this room is no safer than the hall we just left. Look, the cages are only latched shut simply. should the wizard have given any of these beasts raccoon hands we'll be covered by a swarm of these beasts in no time."

"Maybe back to that mess hall, should be plenty we can barricade the doors with in there."

Nodding at Yon's wishes for his friend Agriver hefts Rboud over his shoulder and moves him into the mess hall while motioning for Spyridon to keep close.

"This position poses risks as you stated, We may not have ample time to place barricades before the keeper of this floor finds us. But you know the risks - and I respect your bond with the wolf. The goddess protects."

Once the dire wolf is on the table - he will go about grabbing some sturdy wooden chairs to lean against the doors. "Not the best mind you, but quick and it should give us time to react..."

Yon rushes beside Agriver as they settle into the mess hall. He quickly helps set up a table to the West door in the North wall. And moves East door after... if there is still time he sets another table up to block that door.

Spyridon manages to drag the bodies of Jaris and the outlaw into the mess hall.

Vala goes with Robin and loots two bodies while Robin finds the first couple arrows and helps loot the bodies. hallway outside mess hall
