Clara scratches her head with alchemically stained fingers. "Asvig is a total creep. He tried to murder us, he stole Ameiko's sword from Fynn, and he seems to have kidnapped Ukshakka's brother. As Umbilicus would say, he's gonna need a fizzy-pop to the head!

"His soldiers, likewise, we're likely gonna have to fight, unless they surrender. But what about the rest of the folks partying in there? Surely some are innocent...but they will see us as attacking outsiders. Should we maybe hang tight until the party ends? Find a place to hole up a bit back, and see if anyone leaves? And then maybe bash in at that point?"

Ukshakka points up the road a couple of miles, jogging up behind Clarabibulus. She rests her quarterstaff on her shoulder, her breath steaming in the frigid air. "I don't think the party's gonna end anytime soon. See? There's more people coming."

True to her word, you can see a collection of torchlight approaching down the road. It's still a couple of miles distant, but it'll be about 90 minutes before they arrive.

"We could leave and come back a different day, but... Ulf's already been gone so long."

"We're already here, they don't know of our presence...best chance we'll get."
Kurasaviel opens the door, blade readied in one hand.

Kurasaviel strides up and opens the back door in the wool room, and a blast of heat hits him in the face, The room beyond is filled with the sounds of mirth, along with fifteen laughing, rowdy Ulfen men sitting at a collection of long tables, and one beautiful red-haired Ulfen woman. The man of the house, Asvig Longthews, stands from one of the tables near the other end of the room, snatching up a spear from the end of the table next to him. All of the men in the room have shields and battleaxes or longswords near at hand, though none are presently ready for battle.

Asvig calls out in a strong voice, his weapon held at the ready. "Who are you? I don't know you, any of you. What gives you the right to barge in uninterrupted?"

Seeing the group's weapons drawn, several of the Ulfen warriors behind to inch towards their own. Several of the Ulfen are fast asleep, though, probably passed out from drinking too much, as the floor and tables are cluttered with empty and full tankards of mead or ale.

I've updated the battlemap. If you want to not talk and instead attack, you get a surprise round, which is either a standard or a move action, but you cannot attempt to talk and attack.

Through clenched teeth, Tallak mutters "Ved blodet af mine forfædre, lad hævn regn ned på dem, der korrupte sind de unge fra deres familier."

Helva Spellcraft (DC 16): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

The beautiful woman, doubtlessly Helva, Asvig's wife, pokes at him as she hears spellcasting from outside. "They're here to attack us, darling." Asvig's face contorts into one of anger, and several of the Ulfen men go for their weapons and shields, but the caravan group is faster, and gets the drop on their enemies.

Combat has started, though the PCs get a surprise round. Clara, Matin, Calder, and Kura post your surprise round actions, then I will roll initiative.

Since there was no clear path to any one to be able to move and attack, Kurasaviel moves into a better position.

Muttering to himself, Matin casts a spell, making his movements quicker and more subtle.

Matin casts Cat's Grace on himself

"Seems like time for a Flingflopsparkfizz special!"

Clara opens a flask of fizzy drink. The smell of lemon and fiery peppers fills the air as she chugs it down.

As she does, her skin takes on a neon yellow hue and seems to thicken slightly.

Emboldened, she steps closer to the impending fray. "If you stay back from Asvig at first, I'll try to smoke him and his sorcerer wife out!"

Kurasaviel grinned at Clara.
"Neat!"

As Clara and Matin prepare themselves for battle, Calder runs up beside her on his way towards the inside of the building.

Initiative Rolls

Clara: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Matin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Kurasaviel: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Calder: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Tallak: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Ameiko: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Sandru: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Ukshakka: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Asvig: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Helva: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Ulfen Warriors: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The Ulfen warriors all jump to their feet as Kurasaviel charges in and the group prepares for battle, but Kurasaviel gets the jump on everybody, benefits of his lightning-fast elven reflexes.

It's a little difficult for me to tell spacing with the map; would I have been able to move as far into the building as I can, then move to Asvig and attack (even charge) without provoking any AoO's?

You can make it to Asvig with one move action, but you cannot charge, as you can only charge in a straight line and there is a table in the way.

Kurasaviel darted forward, trusting in Clara to do whatever she needed to despite his presence. He made his way to Asvig, using his curve blade to take a slide at the warrior.
"Watch my back, guys!"

Attack (Power Attack): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Sneak Attack: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
Assuming I hit Asvig is Bewildered for 1 round; -2 to his AC, and a further -2 to my attacks.

Asvig is pretty fast, even for Kurasaviel, and he raises his wooden shield to block the elf's first blow. Kurasaviel's elven curve blade cuts into the shield, but Asvig throws Kura's attack harmlessly away. The Ulfen man grins, gripping his spear more tightly in anticipation of a counterattack.

Ukshakka takes a firm grip on her quarterstaff, scurrying into the building after Kurasaviel. She maintains an intense focus on Asvig, shouting at him, "Where is my brother, you bully?"

Asvig sees Ukshakka barreling towards him and laughs derisively. "Ulf? That no-good vagrant that you came asking about the other day? He's gone to see Snorri One-Eye."

Sandru rushes into the room as well, scimitar at the ready to engage several of the warriors before him. He moves up beside Ursus as the bear charges into the room, his gaze flickering between the men arrayed in the room. "Stay near me, Ameiko." he says. "There's a lot of men in here."

Still outside in the cold, Tallak wards himself with a shield of faith.

Ukshakka and Sandru double-move into the room. Calder and Clara are up.

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Calder moves into the room and attacks the first Ulfen. axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Kurasaviel, did you include your +1 bless bonus in your to-hit roll? Not sure it makes a difference.

Clara steps into the room and looks nervously at all the big, burly Ulfen warriors.

"Ulp!"

She drops a pinch of sulphur and saltpeter into a vial of fizzy pop, shakes it up, and throws it at the sorceress, shouting "Hey, catch!"

Bomb vs Helva, bless, range: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 1 = 23
Fire damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5, 6) + 4 = 17 Plus DC 16 to nauseate in the larger smoke cloud. Can't tell if Asvig is in the cloud or not...but hopefully so, assuming the table isn't more than 10' across?

I did not consider Bless! Also, I believe Asvig would technically be flat footed against me as he has yet to act in this combat unless he has uncanny dodge (which, if Barbarian...); GM, does 20 hit a flat-footed Asvig?

Yeah, everybody remember that bless is in effect - +1 to hit and saves vs. fear effects. A 20 does hit Asvig, dealing 21 damage to him (grazing him) and disorienting him.

Calder runs up and cuts mercilessly into one of the sleeping Ulfen warriors, cutting deeply into the man's shoulder. He takes his head off of his hand where he had been resting it on the table, screaming in pain. Almost reflexively, the man's hand goes to his battleaxe at his hip, and he looks around with panic in his eyes until he identifies his attacker.

Clara moves into the room, hurling a fizzy pop at Asvig's spellcasting wife. It hits her right in the chest, sending their plates and cups of food blasting away in every direction, and a cloud of smoke envelops both her and her husband.

Helva Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Asvig Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Warrior Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

You can hear Asvig choking and coughing on the smoke, but his wife manages to cover her mouth and resist. The pair disappear behind the plume of smoke, however.

Ameiko moves into the room, rapier in hand. She moves up behind Calder, ready to support him if he needs it, but instead she begins to sing - this time a child's lulluby about a young boy who scared a bully off.

Kurasaviel deals 21 damage to Asvig. He is grazed, disoriented, and nauseated. Calder deals 8 damage to an unconscious Ulfen warrior, wounding him and waking him up. Clara deals 17 damage to Helva, she is grazed. Ameiko moves into the home and begins inspire courage. Matin is up next.

Nauseate Duration: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Matin follows the others into the room, readying his bow--but he stops beside Ameiko, looking at the number of soldiers arrayed against them and curses to himself. He should've stayed back in Kalsgard, it seemed. Well, too late to turn back now. Looking up to a pair of men who are neither drunk nor asleep, Matin mutters a few words and gestures at the floor underneath them; an oily black substance begins to ooze up from the wood, slick and shiny and noxious in the light of the tavern's hearth.

Matin moves into the tavern and casts grease at the floor under the man sitting directly north of him. If possible, he positions the grease so it effects the man slightly southeast of that man as well.

Ulfen Warrior Reflex (DC 13): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Matin moves into the home and, with a tiny nub of butter in between two fingers, creates a cascade of grease below the feet of one of the rising Ulfen warriors. Even as he climbs to his feet to do battle, he slips and falls to the ground.

Asvig emerges from the cloud of smoke, staggering over a few feet away from Kurasaviel. "Kill him!" he shouts, pointing at the half-elf.

Meanwhile, Helva also comes out of the smoke cloud, her face contorted into an expression of fury. She reaches out towards Clara, her hand glowing with energy. She speaks an arcane phrase, and Clara feels her body begin to freeze up.

Clara Will Save (DC 15): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Clara's body freezes completely in place, mid-action. She is unable to move even her eyelid, which begins to itch uncomfortably.

The warrior that Calder struck grabs his axe, which sits on the table nearby, and lashes out desperately at Calder with it.

Axe vs. Calder (wounded, sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 17

The axe bites into Calder's armor, and he can feel the sharp edge of the blade pressing into his skin through it, but it breaks no skin.

The warrior that Matin tripped stands, carefully, in the grease pile, and snatches his shield up from where it rests against his chair. The rest of the warriors ready their weapons and axes and reposition themselves to be better ready for combat. One of the warriors that was at the bar moves over near Kurasaviel, waking up his passed-out combatriot that had been sitting next to Asvig.

Asvig 5ft. steps back from Kurasaviel, Helva holds Clara, and the warriors run around. Kurasaviel is up next. Clara is held. On her turn she may attempt a DC 15 Will save as a full-round action to free herself.

Kurasaviel affected a sad face.
"But I'm so charming!"
The half-elf then flowed forward matching Asvig's movement. He struck with his blade;
Attack (Power Attack/Bless/Inspire Courage (assuming +2)): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Confirmation: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage (Crit, power attack, inspire courage): 2d10 + 22 ⇒ (10, 7) + 22 = 39
And scored a wicked blow.
"Probably good advice, though..."

Sorry, I forgot to specify - Ameiko's inspire courage is +1 (she's a 3rd-level bard). This makes your attack rolls 31 and 25, and your damage 37.

Kurasaviel steps forward and strikes Asvig. The graceful blow gets just under the man's chainmail at his waist, and carves out a wickedly large section of flesh where his guts would be. Asvig's eyes roll back into his head, and the man falls to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Ukshakka runs up to Kurasaviel, covering his back against the two warriors that are behind him. She strikes out at one of them with her quarterstaff. Her attack strikes the man in the chest, but her blow isn't powerful enough to deal any real damage. "We should keep him alive, find out where Ulf is!" she says, breathlessly.

Ukshakka vs. Ulfen (Power Attack, Bless, Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 12

Sandru acrobatically rolls around two of the warriors, lashing out at the one Calder injured with his scimitar.

Sandru Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Sandru vs. Ulfen (Flanking, Power Attack, Bless, Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 30
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Crit Damage (Sneak Attack, Power Attack, Inspire Courage): 2d6 + 8 + 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 + (1, 6) + 4 + 2 = 27

He cuts brutally into the man's spine, and before he'd even grabbed his shield the man falls to the ground, dead instantly.

Calder, Tallak, and Clara are up! Kurasaviel crits and KO's Asvig, Sandru crits and kills a warrior. Ukshakka misses.

"Sounds good! Maybe with their leader down they're willing to surrender?"

Helva spits at Kurasaviel - "I'll never surrender, you fool! Your reanimated corpse will be licking dirt from my husband's boots when we're done with you and your ilk!"

Clara is reaching into her belt to grab a new pinch of saltpeter when Helva's spell strikes.

Gaaaaah! she tries (and fails) to scream as her body freezes rigidly in place.

Very very not good! She thinks to herself, Oil...can....

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Doh! One short of the DC. I just double-checked and see Hold Person is Enchantment(Compulsion) Inspire Courage only helps on (Charm)...but there does seem to be precident for using Aid Another to help someone save vs an ongoing effect, if someone's game.

Yeah, somebody can take a FRA to aid Clara on her save, if they want - she'll succeed with a +2 bonus if she gets one. You must be adjacent to her, though, and she won't count as "having succeeded' until the turn of the person who takes it.

Kurasaviel blinked.
"Well, you must be a blast at parties."

Cader moves to get between Clara and the two Ulfen warriors. Axe (Bless + Inspire): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 16 Damage + inspire: 1d12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18

Blasted RNG is out to get me again. Also no Knowledge (local) or (History) for Calder.

Ulfen Warrior AoO vs. Calder (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 = 5

One of the warriors strikes out at Calder as he disengages to protect Clara, but misses Calder entirely. Calder, on the other hand, surges forward a few steps and buries his axe deep in the chest of one of the other warriors, easily felling the lightly armored and unprepared man.

Go ahead and roll that Knowledge check anyway, Calder - I know what skills you have trained!

Out with friends. Feel free to have Tallak run on inside double move, and Ursus full attack someone.

Tallak runs inside to join his friends in the melee that they're a part of, while his bear attacks one of the Ulfen partygoer-warriors.

Ursus Bite (Bless): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Ursus Claw #1 (Bless): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24 Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Ursus Claw #2 (Bless): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14

Ursus claws the warrior brutally before sinking his teeth into the man's neck. The warrior yelps once before hitting the ground.

Ameiko does two easy steps in front of Matin, still singing the daring acts of the little boy who overcame the larger, stronger and older boy, before lunging forward at the warrior in between her and Sandru.

Ameiko vs. Warrior (Flanking, Inspire Courage, Bless): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 15
Damage (Arcane Strike, Inspire Courage, Sneak Attack): 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 1 + (2) = 8

She barely makes it in between his shield and a weak point in his armor, but make it in she does. There is a wet -snick- as she withdraws her blade, and Sandru grins. "Just like old times, huh? Teaming up against overwhelming numbers?"

Ursus takes down a warrior with 16 damage, while Ameiko wounds another with 8 damage, maintaining her performance. Matin is up.

Calder Knowledge (Local) +4 circumstance: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 4 = 18

That doesn't sound good for Ulf.

Matin steps forward, his eyes locked on Helva, his arrow aimed at her chest. He lets loose a single shot in her direction, silently praying that it hits its target.

Attack (Precise Shot, Point Blank Shot, Deadly Aim, Cat's Grace, Archaeologist's Luck, Bless, Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 20
Damage (Point Blank Shot, Deadly Aim, Archaeologist's Luck, Bless, Inspire Courage): 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 12

Matin moves 10 ft west to his current position on the map, activates Archaeologist's Luck, and fires an arrow at Helva

Matin fires an arrow at Helva, and although his aim is slightly off, going through her shoulder instead of her heart, she still screams with pain as it passes through. Her gaze flits between Matin and Kurasaviel, weighing the choices of who to take her revenge upon... and she eventually settles with Kurasaviel. Her eyes glow a deadly red as she casts a spell upon him, and his heart drops as he feels himself fill with existential terror.

Kurasaviel Will vs. cause fear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

She completes her spell and then staggers over towards the smoke cloud, immersing herself in it. "Kill them all," she gasps, before disappearing into the smoke.

Helva Fort vs. Stink Bomb (Critical): 1d20 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 3 = 4

Following Helva's orders, two of the warriors engage Ukshakka, two more move to attack Sandru, one steps up to attack Calder, the one that Matin tripped draws a throwing axe to toss at him, stepping up behind his dead comrade near Ursus the bear. Three of the still-sleeping Ulfen wake up, blearily wiping their drunken faces and fumbling for their weapons. The last, the one wounded by Ameiko, retaliates at her.

Warrior vs. Ukshakka (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 2 = 4
Warrior vs. Ukshakka: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Warrior vs. Sandru: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Warrior vs. Sandru (flanking, sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 2 + 2 = 17
Warrior vs. Calder: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Warrior vs. Ameiko (sickened, wounded): 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Warrior vs. Matin (thrown): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Crit Confirm vs. Ameiko: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Edit: Damage vs. Sandru: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Matin deals 12 damage to Helva, she is critical. Helva casts cause fear on Kurasaviel before retreating into the stink bomb cloud and becoming nauseated for 3 rounds, though Kurasaviel is frightened for 1 round. The Ulfen warriors attack, and deal 6 damage to Ukshakka, 16 damage to Sandru, 6 damage to Ameiko, and 4 damage to Matin. Sandru is wounded.

Nauseate Duration: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Frightened Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1

EDIT: Asvig Stabilization (DC 10): 1d20 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 3 = 12

Caught in the grip of fear, Kurasaviel moves away from Helva with alacrity, making for the door. In his way is one of the Ulfen. Unable to move by safely, Kurasaviel attacks a foe that he is now behind (the southmost blue token)
Attack (PA, Bless, Inspire, Frightened: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Ursus continues to roar and rampage through Asvig's warriors, while Tallak thrusts his spear at another.

Ursus Bite, Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
Ursus Claw 1, Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14
Ursus Claw 2, Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21
Bite Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Claw 1 Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Claw 2 Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Tallak Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11

Kurasaviel dashes across the room, full of fear from Helva's spell. He slashes at the warrior in his way, carving through the man's back powerfully, though the warrior barely holds on, staying on his feet.

Ukshakka, facing off against two of the enemies, shouts a (somewhat tinny and juvenile-sounding) war-cry before bashing one of the Ulfen warriors with her quarterstaff. She strikes him in the head, and he staggers back, somewhat dizzy.

Ukshakka vs. Ulfen (Bless, Inspired, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 23
Damage (Inspired, Power Attack): 1d6 + 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 3 = 11

Sandru grits his teeth with pain, but slashes at the warrior in between himself and Ameiko with his scimitar. He slices through the man's throat, and the warrior gurgles wetly before collapsing on the ground. Sandru rolls away from the two warriors behind him, but one of them gets the drop on him and slashes through his hamstring as he tries to roll away. Sandru cries out in pain, but rolls away behind Ameiko.

Sandru vs. Ulfen (Bless, Inspired, Flanking, Power Attack, Wounded): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 1 - 2 = 23
Damage (Power Attack, Inspired, Sneak Attack): 1d6 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 1 + (6, 4) = 23
Sandru Acrobatics #1 (Wounded): 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 = 11 ; Sandru Acrobatics #2 (Wounded): 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 = 26
Warrior AoO vs. Sandru: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Calder swings his axe heavily, catching the wounded warrior in between him and Kurasaviel in the belly. The man coughs and falls to the ground, dead.

Tallak's bear Ursus slashes one of the warriors with his claw, but the warrior rebuffs his bite and claws with his shield. The warrior cries out as his blood splashes the floor, though. Tallak moves up and lunges at another warrior, but the warrior swipes the spear out of the way with his axe.

Clara continues to suffer under the effects of Helva's hold person spell, sweating but otherwise completely paralyzed.

Ameiko steps over in front of Sandru completely, turning around and touching him with a lightly glowing hand. One of his slash wounds heals over, but he remains pretty badly wounded.

Cure light wounds on Sandru: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Matin snaps off a couple of arrows at the warrior engaged with Tallak, and while one of the arrows bounces off of the warrior's armor, the other penetrates the man's thigh.

Helva, still choking from Clara's stinking cloud, runs out of the main hall into a hallway that lies beyond. She slams the door behind her.

Sandru takes 10 more damage, is critical. Ukshakka wounds a warrior. Kurasaviel and Calder hit the same warrior and KO him. Sandru KOs a warrior. Matin deals 9 damage to a warrior, wounding him. Ursus deals 9 damage to a warrior, wounding him. Clara fails a save. Helva exits the room. Ameiko heals Sandru for 11, he is back to being grazed. Submitting this post, partygoers and Kurasaviel coming up.

The Ulfen warriors still feel enough drunken bravery to try to rebuff the invaders to their party and roar as they all run in to attack. One warrior gets up from the bar and runs towards Kurasaviel, swaying slightly with drunkenness, while three engage Tallak. Two attack his bear, Ursus. The two fighting Ukshakka continue to attack her with their battleaxes.

Warrior vs. Kurasaviel (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 2 = 12
Warrior vs. Tallak (wounded): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 2 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Warrior vs. Tallak (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 2 = 11
Warrior vs. Tallak (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 2 = 10
Warrior vs. Ursus (wounded): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Warrior vs. Ursus (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19
Warrior vs. Ukshakka (wounded): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 2 = 11
Warrior vs. Ukshakka (sickened): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 = 5

Amidst the flurry of attacks, only one warrior manages to score a hit against Tallak, and only one against Ursus. The others swing ineffectually, rebuffed by their opponents' weapons, conveniently placed armor, or unlucky missed attacks.

The Ulfen attack, dealing 9 damage to Tallak and 9 damage to Ursus. They are both grazed.

Kurasaviel is up, at the top of round four - you are threatened. Do you want to attack the target next to you, or try to maneuver to Ukshakka like you said in your pre-roll?

Tallak takes a step away from his multiple assailants and slams the butt end of his spear into the floor. A wave of green energy washes over everyone around him.

Ursus continues to try and savage the warriors around him.

Dunno what penalties Ursus has to his attacks from his wounds, assuming like -1?

Take a gander at this. It explains the ruleset. It's -1 penalties for every quartile health you're missing.

Kurasaviel will attack the one threatening him, and if he is dropped, move to flank the nearest enemy of possible

Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Kurasaviel slashes with his curve blade, and cuts a diagonal slice right through the warrior's chest. The cut is extremely deep, and Kurasaviel is sprayed with blood as the man falls to the ground. Kurasaviel moves on, strafing around the table to come around to the other side of the warriors facing Ukshakka.

Ukshakka herself lunges out with her quarterstaff again, trying to knock out the warrior facing her.

Ukshakka vs. Wounded Warrior (Flanking, Inspired, Bless, Power Attack): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 22
Damage (Power Attack, Inspired): 1d6 + 3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 3 + 1 = 8

With a second swift blow to the head, she knocks that warrior out.

Sandru moves up beside Calder and Ursus, slashing at one of the warriors facing Ursus. He cuts into that warrior deeply, adding to the slice that Ursus had taken out with his claws earlier. The warrior falls.

Sandru vs. Warrior (grazed, inspired, power attack, bless): 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 20
Damage (inspired, power attack): 1d6 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 9

With the fall of the eighth warrior, the remainder eye each other nervously before throwing down their weapons. Their hands go into the air, and one says, "We surrender. Please let us live." Another says, "We were only partying. We can't beat you."

Combat over!

Kurasaviel ignored the warrior for a moment.
"Can someone stabilize this Asvig? I, uh. May have gotten a little stab happy..."

Ameiko runs over next to Kurasaviel. "Umm.. I can heal him, but he'll wake up. I don't know stabilize. Are we gonna do anything about his wife, or can we let her go?"

Just then, Clara unfreezes--gasps--wheezes--and buckles down onto her knees, breaking free from her paralysis.

In a strangled voice, she says, "I'd...rather...not...leave...her...on...the...loose."

Kurasaviel looked over at Clara.
"Then let's go have a word."
Kurasaviel moves to follow Helva.

Tallak and Kurasaviel burst out of the other door, looking for Helva. A trail of blood leads Ursus, Tallak, and Kurasaviel down a thin wooden hallway bordered by doors, to an open doorway. Inside, a panting Helva pulls half of an arrow out of her shoulder, its snapped-off head lying on the ground between her feet. A potion lying on the table in front of her swiftly goes to her mouth, and the arrow wound changes from a raw hole into a ragged scab.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

She looks up in alarm when Tallak and Kurasaviel enter the room, accompanied by a bear. "Wait! We mustn't fight! We can all still leave here alive." she says.

Meanwhile, the men in the other room kind of awkwardly look at each other. One of them asks, "So... can we go?"

Calder looks at them. "One thing first. What did Asvig mean when talking about Ulf joining Snorri One-eye?"
