Holding her ground despite the big wound she just took, Raven re-engages with Cultist #3 swing her warhammer in a mighty arc wiht both hands before crashing it against his head.
Varn dodges the weak attack aimed at him and swings his magical morningstar once more towards his enemy! Unfortunately he is not used to the chaos of melee combat and his swing goes wide.

Move: Dive/rolls under the cultist swing to (H,11) to flank Red 2.
Attack: Flank attack Red-2.
for a possible cold iron piercing damage.
"You pay for what you have done!"
Round 2, Init 18
Aeron brings his mighty hammer to bear once more...
Protected by her magic, Tessai draws Radiance, shifting her position to protect Varn, while maintaining the flanking position cleverly set up by Orlando.
After Orlando's elegant maneuver and Tessai's well-placed strike, Selka realizes the cultist in front of her is now perfectly exposed for an attack, and thrusts her spear forward in a mighty lunge.
Raven lands another hit on the cultist 3 but he is still standing.
Varn attacks and misses his mark.
Orlando rolls into a flanking position and stabs cultist 2 in the back he's hurt but still in fighting condition.
Aeron follows up Raven's attack with a powerful strike and cultist 3 goes down.
Tessai attacks but the cultist blocks her blow.
Selka lands a precise strike and cultist 2 goes down.
Cultist 1 swings at Tessai, Cultist 4 Charges Raven and Cultist 5 Charges Aeron.
While Tessai easily avoids the attack, Raven and Aeron are struck by the charging cultist.
Your turn again.
Varn grits his teeth in frustration at his fruitless attacks. He changes his grip on the weapon and swings once again at the cultist!
Despite the two wounds she has taken, RAven continues to swing at the charging cultist, trying to take advantage of his charge and the resultant opening in his defenses.
After smashing at the new cultist opponent, Raven 5' steps backwards (to D9) retreating a bit from a fight so she can nurse her wounds.
Round 3___________
Orlando grins and salutes Selka.
Move: Takes a step forward to (G,11), then uses his cape to Improved Feint
Standard: Feint attack Red-1.
for a possible cold iron piercing damage.
Tessai shifts her position to gain as much advantage as possible in the closed quarters, and launches a double handed swing at the cultist.
Varn manages to slip past his opponents defense and land a solid blow to the gut. Cultist 1 goes down.
Raven manages a solid hit on cultist 4. Dealing 12 damage.
Orlando moves into a flank but his target is already down.
Tessai moves down to take Raven's place and takes a stab at cultist 4 but he avoids the blow.
Selka takes a stab at cultist 4 using her spear and he goes down.
Aeron takes a swing at cultist 5 using his momentum against him and cracks his skull with a well placed blow.
All enemies are down.
Breathing heavily, and bleeding from two rather serious wounds, Raven stands leaning on her hammer.
"Not sure if you can spare the aid, mother cleric, but I have been hurt a bit here. Perhaps your Inheritor will find it acceptable to heal a non-follower who is trying to work on the side of Good?"
As Selka looks over Raven, Tessai moves to the stairs - "Stay sharp, there may be more of them" - she warns the others.
Selka hurries over to Raven's and helps her stand - "Absolutely, my friend. Here... Stay still."
With a look of concentration, she places her hands over her companion's wounds, and a moment later a warm, placid energy flows from her palms to mend Raven's injuries.
With the bulk of Raven's injuries taken care of, the young Cleric urges everyone in need to come closer and receive a small dose of divine healing.
As she moves to the stairs, Tessai smiles in acknowledgement of Selka's burst of divine healing power.
Aeron sighs as Selka's energy washes over him, closing his wounds.
"Let press our advantage. No need to give them time to prepare."
Aeron starts up the stairs, taking them two at a time.
"I am with you my friends!"
Orlando moves up the stairway with the others.
The second floor is empty save for various supplies piled up in a haphazard fashion.
You go up to the third floor and see a semicircular room is empty except for a few bookshelves against the walls and a single desk and chair sit in one corner. A huge set of wood and metal double doors stands in the south wall.
You go over and open the door and see a man that can only be Faxon accompanied by a large black furred hound with fiery eyes.
"Whats this a few stragglers managed to survived and make their way here? You fools should have fled the city while you still could!"
Go ahead and post your round 1 actions if your before him on Init.
"Many thanks to The Inheritor." says Raven as the divine healing magic washes over her, curing her of all hurts.
As the boys head up the stairs, Raven unshoulders her bow, hoping to find herself at distance instead of up close for whatever happens to be upstairs.
Seeing the devilsh man and his hound, Raven targets the dog with her arrows.
Orlando grins with insolence.
"Were you perhaps depending on reinforcements from the other two safe houses? So sorry! You are the last one."
He shoots the dog.
for a possible piercing damage.
He then dropped the crossbow, drew his sword and shook his cape into his left hand.
Varn follows behind the others, shaking some of the gore from his weapon. 'Effective weapon, if rather uncouth...'
The wizard stops short when he spots Faxon and the 'dog' as they enter the room. He can tell from a cursory glance that both are not native to this plane and searches his knowledge of the other planes.
The wizard then removes a potion from his belt pouch and drinks down it's bittersweet contents, feeling the magical force form around his body.
Tessai stares intently at the man in front of them, as arrows whistle by her - "Are you the commander here?" - she growls at the man - "You will pay for what has happened to this city - you and all those you work with or for - we will make sure of it!" - she finishes, advancing on their foe.
Aeron moves to D6 and prepares for clobbering time if anything gest within range
"You are the foolish one." - Selka spits out with scorn, looking the man dead in the eye.
With a swift motion Selka raises her arm, and puts her hand on Aeron's shoulder. A moment later, her hand glows with divine energy as otherworldly power pours into the large warrior's body, granting him newfound strength.
"You shall pay for everything you've done, here and now!"

MISS
Round 3 action
Trying once again to hit the hellhound, she fires after advancing to the open doorway. After the shot, she discards her bow, and readies her warhammer to wade into melee.
Feeling the magical assault, Tessai grits her teeth. Her sight and hearing become blurried for a moment, but she shakes it away, maintaining her focus on her foe - "We will not fall prey to your unhallowed incantations - you have set your fate when you sided with those who brought death and destruction to Kenabres. We will see that it is fulfilled" - she roars back at him, swinging Radiance again.
Selka recoils when the unexpected cone of flames engulfs her, burning her skin and clothes and leaving behind a most unpleasant smell of brimstone and singed flesh.
Gritting her teeth, Selka decides to ignore the Hell Hound for the time being and focus her efforts on bringing down the greatest threat, the Tiefling general.
Circling the enemies to try and put some distance between herself and the Hell Hound, Selka positions herself on Tessa's left flank, and resumes her assault on Faxon.
