The ogres continue smashing away, Gog outraged by Corum's cutting blade returns his own heavy attack whilst the other crashes it's hook down on Sapphire
Mancien leaps forward himself and across the room to take advantage of Corum's position fighting the ogre.
With the barbarian distracted he drives his slender blade into the man's back.

Del grunts as Mancian's blade pokes a new hole in his nice coat then sighs as he watches what indecision he might have sown in Gog evaporate in Corum's mindless anger. Shaking his head and wondering briefly why he ever agreed to help these people, he shrugs to himself and answers his own internal question audibly, "Ah, but it's all such a thrill, isn't it?"
With a smooth motion that causes his long coat to billow out behind him, Del draws Jasper and snaps off a quick shot at the rapier wielding fiend who damaged his nice coat.

Surrounded, Corum ignores the slender but deadly man and concentrates on taking the ogre down.

Wiping the bloody froth from his chin Elleross stumbles backwards away from the two hulking brutes.
Dimensionum, spatium,altiorum ! he draws in a ragged breath and calls forth the spell, weaving the arcane gestures with his blood drenched hands.
across the room there is a sudden rushing sound as the air is sucked into the newly created pit, filling the extra dimensional space.
Sapphire speaks a single dark word and her flaming weapon flashes black with cursed magic, as the pit opens up beneath the ogre next to her she takes the opportunity to stab him twice. Her blade trails both flame and twinkling magic as she concentrates on channeling her magic through it.
Her blade leaves a deep and nasty wound on the ogre's body, his arm succumbing to her magic as the word 'Yagat' appears scorched in to his flesh.

As Mancian moves past him, Jagar simply turns and follows. Follows like a wagon-load of bricks. Unfortunately, the chair between the them has other ideas. It explodes into fragments, except the legs. By some blind coincidence, the legs hold together in a solid square, tangling his legs. Trapped by the square snare, he snaps and snarls working his way free of the snare.
Realizing that her pack is getting killed by this thug and his two bullies, Nasrin desperately tries again to get some more help!
With a rising howl, she sends echoes through reality, creating a rift and a pack of ice rimed feral dogs comes running through.
Two dogs attacks Sapphire's target; one on each side of the ogre.

Another pair harangue the ogre gouging Corum, dragging the rank giant to the floor with the weight behind the teeth.

The last three swarm around Mancian himself; teeth snapping and grabbing the man. One of the hounds does grab onto his off hand and twists with all his weight, dragging the man to the ground. Surely, Mancian must be a bit worried about this change of fortunes.

Severely injured and being penned in. Greyston moves as quickly as he can away from the fighting, holding his bleeding shoulder with pleading eye's he moves next to Sapphire.
Sapphire's mastery of sword and spell continues to grow seemingly with each passing day, and no more is this evident in her singular destruction of the brutish ogre before her. The giant crashes to the ground as the waif-like swordswoman cuts him down to size.
Nasrin's approach is sheer volume, and an entire pack of wolves are conjured out of thin air and begin tearing at the enemy. Gog is dragged off his feet by the smaller creatures and badly savaged on the ground whilst mancien deftly avoids most of their attacks but nonetheless is bitten on the thigh by one of them.
Stuck in a corner, Greyston retreats to safety whilst Corum and Elleros wear the scars of the encounter so far.
Mancien steps forward and attacks Nasrin.

His blade sneaks out and once again finds its mark unerringly.
"Grrrrrr! Nasrin growls loudly at the Mancian, but she hardly fliches as his delicate blade finds a soft spot between her ribs. Later, the true damage will be known. She brings her shield up and swings her scimitar, doing little else but making space between her and the petty thug.

The pack of dogs close in on the last of their prey. Barking and biting, they tear into Mancian with a vengeance.

Corum shouts in triumph as the ogres are felled. The slender swordsman turns to attack Nasrin and that leaves him open. Corum makes room to swing his axe and does so. At the last second he turns the blade to use it like a sledgehammer. Theflat of the axe blade crashes into the swordsman's head with sickening force.
Pa, furious focus, non-lethal

Jagar adds his teeth to the fray. His snarls and growls incite the dogs around him to savage Mancian.

Slumping over from the pain, Greyston fumbles around grabbing a reddish vial from his satchel biting down on the cork spitting it out and downing the vial in one.

Del shakes his head at Manny, an I-told-you-so gesture that he follows with a helpless shrug and another bolt from Jasper. "See what happens when you don't listen, Manny? Tsk tsk tsk."

Slumping back against the wall behind him Ellleross tries to slow his ragged breathing,
He sees the lithe thug slide his sword deep into Nasrin, the wild girl unable to avoid his deadly blade.
it's time we take you out my friend, enough is enough he thinks , he knows Corum has been holding back trying not to kill the man. This doesn't stop him and he unleashes a spell that mancian won't be able to avoid.
Magia Vis, Potestas ictus completing the spell he opens his hand and the pyramids of pure force leap eagerly toward their target, streaking around his allies they slam into the man again and again.
Corum, stop holding back! take him down before he kills one of us! he manages to shout out before his mouth fills again with his own blood .

Seizing the opening the elf has left, Sapphire again causes cursed magic to course down her blade, then steps in the the melee to deliver her own assault.
Success
Mancien darts across the room, avoid gnashing jaws and slashing blades as he does so.

Once again his sword snakes out, piercing her through the thigh.
Sapphire watches the slippery criminal as he vaults over the encircling wolves, focusing her energy on causing a cascade of electricity to course around her and her sword before stepping towards him and executing a simple high-low slash combination, hoping her speed will outmatch his.

Del makes no attempt to disguise his admiration for Sapphire and her swordplay and the half-orc mimes tipping a hat to the woman before he shifts his attention back to Manny. Should the nimble criminal still be up after Sapphire's work with her blade, Del snaps off another shot from Jasper.

Corum hears Elleros shout and he responds with a feral battle cry. No more mercy Just blood and death.
Pa

Elleross watches in fascination and awe as Sapphire unleashes her burgeoning powers and channels them through her blade in a deadly marriage of arcane and martial force that is frightening to behold.
Calling out his own words of power Elleross again conjours three pyramids of force and Watches as they streak out to their target.
Sapphire dashes forward and as Mancien reaches for the handle to the door to make good his escape, she slashes her blade down in a glittering arc. As the sword bites into Mancien's shoulder, electricity courses through him, his entire body wracked and spasming, he collapsing to the ground a quivering wreck.
Erek's rage dissipates as the man dies and he slaps Sapphire on the back. "Nice work!"
Moving to guard the door he indicates the man tied up in the centre of the room. "not much time. Free him, see if these three have got anything useful and we go."
First Nasrin, then Jagar and finally the other dogs begin howling - a deafening cacophony for several seconds until the hounds wink out of existence, one by one. When the noise stops Nasrin seems to finally realize how badly Mancien had hurt her. Blood flowing freely from a tiny gap in her armor and then her ribs, she winces and says a prayer asking for healing.
Del relaxes as Mancien collapses to the floor and spares a moment to regard the new hole in his coat and side, shaking his head in disappointment as he wiggles one green finger through the damage. "Again? But Elleross just fixed it!" Frowning, he then looks to their foe's slumped form and shakes his head chastizingly, "Ah, Mancien, I tried to warn you. And Gog! Dear Gog, we hardly knew ye but, in the end, it seems you were as foolish as Magog there was ugly. Alas."
Stowing Jasper and stepping over the slumped body of Magog, Del slides over to the tied up man and offers in Skald, "Ho there, Ringierr! Sorry for the mess and all, but Nadya asked us to call on you and it seems we arrived a little later than you might have liked." With that, he slices through Ringierr's bonds with Jairess' dagger before sliding the blade back into it's sheath. "But better late than never at all, am I right?" Del then extends his waterskin to the former captain along with a bright grin.
