Frederick Charges at the Greatsword thug.
"Back off."
The "Smiling" man moves on to Frederick's side and strikes the Half-Orc with 2 quick jabs.
One of the mercenaries try to attack the smiling enemy, but his sword swings harmlessly as the criminal sidesteps the blade.
His ally, however, has better luck, and manages to strike the warrior with the scimitar.
Brother Cyrus moves up and unleashes a healing burst of light and soft fuzzy feelings.
"Take one of them alive! We need to find Ayren!
And hopefully these men won't already be dead
The second mercenary tries once again to attack the "smiling" man, but his target barely has to move to avoid the attack.
MOving and attacking the sword guy
Eitylen's attack is successful at wounding the greatsword-wielding enemy, as well as at drawing his ire.
The heavy blade bites into Eitylen's shoulder, causing some significant damage.
Meanwhile, the warrior with the scimitar attacks one of the mercenaries... And where his blade fails, magic succeeds. A surge of electricity runs through the man.
At the same time, the man with the crossbow takes a step forward and gesticulates once again. This time, the spell affects one of his allies, who grows into a much larger problem...
And that problem strikes at Frederick.
...Who easily predicts and evades both oversized fists.
Last, but not least, one of your accidental allies strikes at the crossbowman...
...But his strike is too slow.
Frederick goes in for the kill on Greatsword guy.
Brother Cyrus channels destructive power through his holy symbol.
The shock of the surge of negative energy fully impacts half of the enemies, but the man with the scimitar and the their previously-smiling leader seem to resist most of it.
The man with the swirling scimitar summons red flames to his swords and then charges at Brother Cyrus, striking the priest the fire and steel.
Your mercenary ally tries to use the opportunity to hit the swirling dervish, but his attack falls flat.
The man with the crossbow ocne again summon arcane powers into his hand and shoots a second explosion of colorful dust over you. He doesn't seem to care that his scimitar wielding ally is in the area of effect of his spell. He then takes a step back
Frederick slashes at the enlarged unarmed man.
The enlarged smiling man blocks Frederick's attacks and takes a step to the side. He proceeds to try and disarm the half-orc warrior...
...But Frederick's grips is too solid!
One of your mercenary allies tries to strike the scimitar-wielding enemy from behind...
...But the opponent is too quick for him, and blocks the longsword with a swirling scimitar strike.
Brother Cyrus grins grimly back at the "Smiling" Man as he unleashes yet another healing burst.
"Your blade will break by the time you cut me down!"
One of your mercenary allies goes for the enlarged enemy, and does strike with surprising accuracy and manages to draw blood, though his target doesn't seem concerned by his efforts...
5 ft, feint and stab vs the giant guy
Eitylen manages to trick the smiling man into lowering his defense for a fraction of a second, and that's all the time the elf needs to stab his enemy on vital spot.
A few feet away, the man with the scimitar smiles cruelly and stares Brother Cyrus. "It seems I'll have to try a little harder..."
And so he does. The man surges with speed and strikes twice with his scimitar, before finishing his assault with another touch of electricity.
The man with the crossbow chants a smooth arcane song, causing his crossbow to be loaded with a ghostly green bolt which is soon shot at Frederick, as starting burning the half-orc's skin and muscle even after its initial impact.
Frederick continues his assault on the enlarged Monk.
Frederick takes a deep breath and draws on his mental powers to swiftly attack again.
After taking the full impact of Frederick's attacks, the leader of the enemy group decides the half-orc is too much of a threat, and decides to kick him down while simultaneously getting rid of his blade.
Frederick feels a foreign energy trying to overwhelm his body.
One of the mercenaries tries to attack the oversized enemy, but his blade is deflected by a swift unarmed parry.
Brother Cyrus eyes unfocus for a moment and he staggers.
Can't take much more. I leave the rest to you all.
Blood drips steadily from his robes as he raises his holy symbol aloft, ushering another wave of umbral energy.
He then collapses from his wounds.
