Our enemies have finally found us.... The site is compromised.... We'll.... We'll have to pack it all up.... AAAH, damned venom.... I need....antitoxin....
Dirge hustles over to Hoffmann.
Here ya go.... Bottoms up, professor....
Dr Hoffmann produces an antitoxin from his lab coat pocket and hands it to Professor Dirge, who uncorks and quaffs....
Those of us healthy enough should check the compound and perimeter to ensure that it is clear. Pardon me... Doc excuses himself while he undergoes the grisly release of Duke, his tumor familiar to aid in the security sweep.
Derrik Rushes into the open door signaling Jewels to Stick close and to Strike where he strikes. In the mist and silence Derrik finds the Prof. grabbing him by the shoulder and thrusting him out of danger as he moves into it, pointing to the way out. He swings Dawnbringer at the Left assassin's knee as they both attempt to strike him

AoO with rapier
AoO with rapierThe rapier blades bend against Derrik's breastplate, but do not touch flesh.
By contrast, Dawnbringer parts black silken trousers, flesh, and bone with a sharp crack!
The assassins strike at their new target (Derrik)....
Rapier plus flanking sneak

Derrik parries one thrust with Dawnbringer, and sidesteps the other....
The loud report of an assault rifle comes from a bunker to the east, where Sgt Gore Illa and Hell-No Kitty are sending more assassins to Hell....
Meanwhile, in another bunker, Monkey Dude and Lakra kill another pair of would-be assassins, and in her Bunker, a summoned hound archon defends Sister Maria De La Rosa from another two assassins, cutting one down with a shining greatsword....
Prue fires her rifle at an assassin as it slips through the door into her bunker, blowing a hole in his shoulder!
In the shape of a wolf, Nature Boy pounces on another assassin, and with a savage snarl, rips out his throat!
we're back.
we're back.
Welcome back, dudes! You're just in time for a ninja raid.
Two assassins creep into the bunker inhabited by Krar, invisible and silenced via potions, and expecting to find him asleep in bed. Instead, they find him meditating on the eight lethal strikes of the panther, and rush to flank him....
In the next bunker over, Koran is tightening the leather grip on his great earth breaker, when the door silently swings open. Two silenced, invisible assassins dart to each side of the big rager....
And in the next bunker, Mephos is reclining on his bed with his magic rod near to hand. The door swings open without a sound, and two invisible, silenced assassins slide up to either side of the tiefling sorcerer....
Perception and Initiative from Krar, Koran, and Mephos, please....
(They can't deal precision damage in the mist since I have concealment. Sneak attacks wouldn't go off and I think they have a 20% miss chance.)
Considering his options, which arent many, Radsworth decides it's time to run. Ninja's are blinding fast, and most of his spells rely on their target not being able to react quickly enough.
Speed indeed, would decide the fate of both he and Sun Mi.
Again, the stop-gap language of Transmutation fills the room. As the magic settles, both he and Sun Mi feel their limbs charged with energy. Time slows and they speed up.
"Sun Mi, Run!"
Rad and Sun Mi flee through the mist. (I am unsure if I provoke while concealed.) Leading her by the hand, they leave the room and make down the nearest corridor.
"Attack! We need assistance! We are under attack!"
[1] Cast Defensive, Haste.
[2] Radsworth and Sun Mi have an extra 30ft movement for the next 5 rounds.
Grimm hears Rads yelling and rushes to assist.
(They can't deal precision damage in the mist since I have concealment. Sneak attacks wouldn't go off and I think they have a 20% miss chance.)
Correct, checking miss chances....
hits....
misses....
Adjust your damage accordingly, Rad....
For Derrik's Attack It still hit

Actually, spells with a verbal component cannot be cast in a silence area, which is a 20-ft radius. I'll allow that during the "surprise" round, the assassins were able to open the door and one move into the bunker, but not to within 20 ft of Radsworth.
Radsworth then casts the spell, and then they move in to flank him in the fog, scathing him, but doing no serious damage before Derrik and Jewels race into the bunker, and Derrik switches places with Rad.
In Dwayne Lee's bunker, the ghost of Jeb and Hell-No Kitty slay two assassins while Dwayne Lee rolls over in bed, snoring loudly....
YEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAA!!! Take that, Cthulhu ninjas!! HAA!!
Mephos!
Barracuda assassins!
Krar!
Koran!
Four rounds of retroactively simultaneous action!
Ding! Ding!
Unfortunately, Mephos fails to notice the door to the bunker open, so he is surprised in the first round.
Krar and Koran both notice the doors open to their bunkers, and act normally on initiative.
Two invisible, silenced assassins converge on where Mephos was just beginning to ready himself for bed. He can't help notice that the world around him has suddenly grown preternaturally quiet....
In Krar's room, two invisible, silenced assassins move to flank the meditating mountain panther monk of many styles, leading with the deadly tips of their rapiers.... plus flanking invisible sneakiness

The first assassin ducks the first hammer swing, backs out of range of the bite, and moves directly into the massive hammer's upswing, his jaw shattering. He staggers, nearly finished....
Shifting to maintain their flank, the Cthulhu cult ninjas time their attack to keep Mephos reeling....

But the fiendish sorcerer wont stand still for it, bobbing and weaving to avoid the steel blades....
