Elisa wastes no time in getting behind the knight...

"Good man, I have no desire to cross swords with you regarding the manner in which your companions may have corrupted you. Please sit this fight out and let me give those miscreants the light of Mitra as salvation." the knight tells Saulric as he positions himself to protect Elisa.

You are the one preparing to kill my companions merely for how they were born. I will defend them from you if you insist on attacking them. Saulric takes up a stance clearly indicating he's not kidding. Readied action. If he comes at me or any of the party within my reach I attack him.

Szordrin will enter the room coming into plain view of the light. He extend his hands out to his sides away from his body.
If that is your wish please show me the light that is mitra. Show me the way that I am wrong...is it because of the way I look...or is it because I am not of your faith. That is your way is it not. I am not of you therefore I should be branded or killed..
Szordrin takes another step forward. A sincere smile on his face.
Come on you idiot...do it, show me the way.. he gives a faint chuckle.
Your faith is misplaced good sir. I did not always looks like this...dark elf. My name is Szordin Silvertree and I and my sister came to Talingarde on a trade mission to a local wizard. I did not take kindly to the disrespectful words and gestures that were being directed to my sister. When I spoke up of my displeasure I was rewarded by the Lawful Government with this curse you see before you. I disagreed with a Talingarde and was punished for it. I am the one that was wronged but because I am not of mitra...well I am the evil one and should be struck down. I was assaulted for not agreeing with your Kingdom and the tenets of Mitra. Because we are different..Mitra has the right to destroy us, because we have views that are not what Talingarde want...Mitra should destroy us, because we chose to not conform to the demands of the Talingarde even if those demands are not lawful, Mitra should destroy us. This is what your faith is and what your kingdom has become. So good sir...do your job and stike me down. I am just a simple innocent elf that was robbed of his life because I am who I am.
Szordin starts to move his mouth as if he is spell casting.

"You will not tempt me with your lies! Do not advance any closer or I wills trike you down. Fair maiden how is that you came to be with these vile persons? Good for you you found me to keep you safe from them. Saulric, you should have been better for your one true love that you seek. You are lost under the guise of these heretics!"

Elisa will draw her rapier as if bravely aiding the knight, then stab him in the back as he focuses on Saulric. attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 damage + sneak attack?: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 1 = 6

She gives him a sweet smile. "'Fair maiden? Well you're half right."

Hopefully he's flat footed?

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 For when it kicks off.

oh, I am a heretic? Why am I the heretic. Please explain to me the reasoning behind your accusations. I am an elf that stands before you and because I do not worship your god...I am the heretic? You condemn me for just being me. That is the way of Mitra..of course it is.
Szordin take another step forward...he moves his hands as he speaks. like he is talking with his hands continuing to whisper arcane words under his breath as he talks.

"I wish I had the words to express what I'm feeling now, but my companions are doing a good job of it. What you have isn't a goodly religion, mr. knight, but pure intolerance. Anything different from yourself, you have no respect or love for. C'mon, love me, you know you want to!"

diplomacy: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17 wow, that wasn't bad for Alaric.

C'mon, love me, you know you want to!

Did you just come on to him or were you just mocking him?

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Calm yourself good sir we mean Noticing Elisa's strike he smiles a bit more wickedly. Well, so much for letting Timeon see his master strike first.

mocking him, of course, but toned so it was more like a come on so as not to have timeon think it was mockery

Elisa strikes the knight from behind and draws blood due to him be very unsuspecting of her and focused on the miscreants to his front. "ARRRGHH! You bloody witch!" he cries out. "I'll kill the lot of you!"

Sir Balin recovers from the attack to his rear done by Elisa and manages to avoid the attacks of both Alaric and Saulric but the drow inflicts some damage upon the man with the cold attack.

"MITRA WILL PROTECT ME!" he yells out as he attacks Saulric.

Alaric swings and misses again...

Saulric swings his sword against his armored opponent. ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 DAM: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Only a truly despicable being would protect you with the hate you spout from your lying tongue!

Elisa will move to make sure she's flanking Balin with Saulric. attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Not with that one. :(

Both Saulric and Elisa attack the knight but the foe recovered from his earlier injuries to use his shield and armor to deflect the attacks...

Szordrin is up... when he gets back... also no reply from Nidjena and it looks like they vanished from their other game as well.

Szordin casts his spell again

"You foul cur! I will gut you!" the Knight yells at Saulric.

Elisa moves to make sure she's flanking with Saulric, lining up Balin's back again and tries to end him. Attack with flanking: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

:(

Szordrin casts ray of frost
Range touch attack

If this hits
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Szordrin hits the knight with another cold ray...

The knight sees an opening and full withdrawals to the open door as if seeking a way out of the maze...

Party is Up

not sure how he withdrew out of flank, even on a full withdrawal, only the first square is safe, so there should have maybe been some aoo's in there.

you are correct. apologies. he still moves so those who can strike him with an AoO are free to roll

aoo to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

ah well, it was worth a try

[/b]ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 DAM: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

If Elisa gets an attack? Attack with flanking: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9 NM

Possible Critical
Confirmation on Critical: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
If confirmed
Critical Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

All of the attacks directed against the Mitran Knight fail to land and he sneers at the party saying "Mitra blesses me against your futile attacks.. Ha ha ha.. Timeon... what are you doing here... are you with these evil doers...?" and seeing his squire momentarily stuns the knight...

party is up

Your words expose the lies and hate of the Mitrans! You are helping to pull the wool from his eyes!

ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 DAM: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
C.Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 DAM: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Elisa moves till she is flanking with Saulric again. Attack with flanking?: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 2 = 16 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Alaric moves up on the knight and strikes.

to confirm crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
more dmg if crits: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Szordrin takes a five foot step to the side to get a better angle on his target. His fingers move in intricate patterns as he attempt to cast the simple spell Ray of Frost.

ray of frost: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
That bites

Szordin let's out a string of harsh words.
Timeon, you can listen to his words or you can listen to what we have shown you to be true. It is your call, I will not hold it against you. None of us will, but you should make your own choice. Do what you feel is right..

Szordrin speaks to Timeon for assistance but it is for naught as Saulric and Alaric manage to deal fatal blows to the knight...Sir Balin tries to say a prayer to Mitra as the party stabs the fallen knight to death interrupting his prayers...

combat over

Alaric breathes a sigh of relief... and glances over at the boy to see what his reaction might be. He doesn't speak to the lad though, fearful that his words might push the boy over the edge. Instead he lets others do the talking.

Unfortunate. I had hoped to free him of Mitra's shackles. I will gladly continue your training of course.

Timeon stands still in the hallway as if shell shocked from seeing his new 'friends' kill off the knight he was squired too...when people speak to the boy he just nods his head looking off into the distance at nothing... after a while he moves over to a wall in the draugr room and sits down against it just looking off into space. It is obvious to the group that he is still processing what occurred.

Saulric begins stripping the body of anything useful.

Elisa will search the room. Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

While Saulric strips the body of useful items, Alaric will search it for the item tasked to find, the silver and sapphire pendant, just in case.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Unless you intend to give him a cavity search you're not getting more thorough than me. I am literally stripping him. If that armor is better than mine I want it.

We can leave you alone with the body if you want Alaric?
