Wabbit jumps down the trapdoor and races out past the air elemental. To his right, Wabbit sees an older elf with black hair and many earrings. He is standing next to a slender woman who's wearing a hooded robe and a facemask of simple linen. He is pouring some sort of magical energy from himself into her.

DESCRIPTION
This sinuous tattoo appears to move when the bearer flexes his muscles.
Three times per day when the bearer makes a successful melee attack with a monk or performance weapon or an unarmed strike, he can cause the tattoo to lunge like a snake at the creature hit. This allows the bearer to perform a dirty trick combat maneuver as an immediate action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

You can attempt to hinder a foe in melee as a standard action. This maneuver covers any sort of situational attack that imposes a penalty on a foe for a short period of time. Examples include kicking sand into an opponent’s face to blind him for 1 round, pulling down an enemy’s pants to halve his speed, or hitting a foe in a sensitive spot to make him sickened for a round. The GM is the arbiter of what can be accomplished with this maneuver, but it cannot be used to impose a permanent penalty, and the results can be undone if the target spends a move action. If you do not have the Improved Dirty Trick feat or a similar ability, attempting a dirty trick provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver.
If your attack is successful, the target takes a penalty. The penalty is limited to one of the following conditions:
blinded, dazzled, deafened, entangled, shaken, or sickened.
This condition lasts for 1 round. For every 5 by which your attack exceeds your opponent’s CMD, the penalty lasts 1 additional round. This penalty can usually be removed if the target spends a move action. If you possess the Greater Dirty Trick feat, the penalty lasts for 1d4 rounds, plus 1 round for every 5 by which your attack exceeds your opponent’s CMD. In addition, removing the condition requires the target to spend a standard action.
A deafened character cannot hear. He takes a –4 penalty on initiative checks, automatically fails Perception checks based on sound, takes a –4 penalty on opposed Perception checks, and has a 20% chance of spell failure when casting spells with verbal components. Characters who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
IF the attack hits, the magic tattoo flows down his arms and 2 glowing bunnies twine up the casters body and slam into his ears
Wabbits ac with Cats Grace and haste 30
Wabbit's attack just barely gets through the elf's magical shield, which looks like a short sword that attempts to parry Wabbit's waveblade. The two glowing bunnies twine up his body, but he ducks in time for the bunnies to collide into each other and poof out of existence. Whatever the spell was that he was casting, Wabbit disrupts it just before completion.
The robed woman says in a very strange voice "I leave now." and withdraws down the stairs, while the elf yells out "Wait! The spell wasn't complete! Come back here!" but the woman does not obey. With a barely contained rage, the elf turns on Wabbit. He begins casting a spell, but Wabbit takes the opportunity to try to strike him. Though the attack doesn't land, it's enough for the elf to lose concentration.
Someone from below begins to climb up the stairs and yells out "With one hand I give!" He draws a thin dagger known as a war razor, and his unholy symbol of Norgorber glows a murky red. He's wearing ornate robes overtop of something bulky, which Wabbit can only assume is armour of some kind. He's also wearing a mask that covers his face, and that mask looks like it's made out of human hide.
Wasn't sure on the positioning of the robed woman in relation to the caster. THought Wabbit might be passing through a square she threatened. In the future I can withhold acrobatics rolls to avoid AOO until you ask for one.
Please choose how you'd like to handle this in the future
A)Wabbit includes an acro roll when I THINK it may be applicable
B)always include acro rolls when moving to attack
C)withhold rolls until you ask for it
Wabbit will pretty much always use acro as there is no penalty to attack associated with it... It simply is a harder check (-10) to use at full speed
Furnok hears the faint cranking of gears up above him among the footsteps. At that moment a dart whizzes through the opening with all the ropes, and hits Gallus in the forearm. It isn't a deep wound by any means, but still enough to draw blood.
No one comes down the stairs. Perhaps thieves and assassins prefer a more indirect approach.
Wabbit tries to put the caster down before the formidable-looking Norgorbite gets to him, warry of the magical defenses the caster obviously has

Abdreste drops her native ability to become an air elemental, then walks to get a better view, intoning words of power and gesturing. "Sharpen and grow, bite the foe."
As she speaks her words, Skrate grows and morphs, his fur growing stripes, his claws and teeth extending, muscles thickening until the squirrel is transformed into a tiger of enormous proportions.
Then Skrate rushes forward and pounces onto the elf, swinging two beefy claws and biting twice at the man.

Wabbit and Skrate nearly kill the elf, but the tiger fails to grapple him. He moves with supernatural grace and prescience.
Cleo rushes in to see pretty much nothing but a bleeding guard. "May Erastil watch out of you, sir" she grasps him briefly and casts cure light wounds.
Aggah follows quickly behind Furnok, knowing the big guy will start a brawl shortly.
Janis Vanishes from sight and goes through the doors moving towards the enemies.
Furnok starts going up the stairs while Bacon teams up with Agghhhh.
Cleo comes in to tend to Gallus' wounds. "Oh! Thank you kindly."
Aggah jumps on Bacon's back with enthusiasm and gets ready to valiantly shoot all the things while boar surfing. Meanwhile, Janis casts a spell and disappears from sight.
Furnok heads up the stairs and takes the first look at his enemies. He recognizes each one, though they're now wearing black cultist robes. Crossbow is brandishing a heavy crossbow outfitted with steel gears and loaded with a gray glowing bolt. He's wearing a mask made of human skin. Bill doesn't look nearly as dangerous, though he's also wearing a mask. It's his positioning above Furnok on the stairs that's the concern. Darts and Duckling aren't wearing masks. They seem to be lesser ranking. It's unclear if there's anyone else inside the large room on this level.
Gallus runs up behind Furnok and tries to poke at the feet of Bill. The angle is a little awkward, but the longspear gets past the railing and right into Bill's thigh. Gallus leans into the strike, putting every bit of weight and muscle into it. Pictus comes in behind Gallus. Saila casts a spell on herself, creating a shield of silver energy. Then she moves in.
Furnok needs to take a step back to bash Bill with his hammer, but when he takes that step, Bill unsheathes a dagger and slashes Furnok. The cut itself is negligeable, but suddenly Furnok feels a shock of pain. That blade was poisoned. In retaliation, he smashes Bill in the stomach, nearly killing him.
The heavy crossbow looses a bolt at incredible speed, but it impales the wall behind Furnok. A little explosion of white vapour escapes the hole in the wall, but it won't hurt Furnok, whatever it was. The half elf takes a step back and clumsily tosses a dart in Furnok's general direction. Duckling ducks inside and around the corner, while Bill withdraws up the stairs. The heavy crossbow's steel gears crank the drawstring back quickly, letting its handler load up.
-----------------------------------
Up top, the priest comes up and tries to cast a spell on the elf, but he loses concentration as Wabbit tries to attack. The elf manages to cast a spell, and imbues his hand with dark magic. With a touch on the tiger, its fur begins to fall off and it loses a lot of weight.
A spell is cast from below, and both the priest and the elf gain a shield of swirling energy. A half elf man, wearing a robe and mask, comes up the stairs and leaps from railing to railing to get around, potentially to end up flanking or getting in Andreste's face. He's armed with a short sword and a hand crossbow.
oh cmon!
Tiger Skrate tries to maul the priest.

If none of that hits, Skrate steps back 5'. If the grapple sticks, he stays put. Otherwise, he steps back.
Andreste speaks arcane words twisting her fingers into a grasping form and making tugging motions. Damage
Way too many people on the stairs, Cleo thinks to herself, which is probably what the bad people intended of course. Praying hard that her freinds hit and their enemies miss, is all the little halfling woman can do way in the back.
Aggah has the same problem Cleo does, no place to go, but she is at least being able to ride Bacon. Lucky Goblin.
Elves are known to have frail bodies, but this one completely resists Andreste's spell. The look on his face might explain why: Absolute focus.

[ooc]no problem, it is hard to tell. I think the bonus to saves is going to be important.[ooc]
Janis thrusts forward cautiously with his rapier while becoming visible. Janis stays still blocking the man in.
Furno steps up and bashes Darts with his long hammer
The elf dodges each of Skrate's strikes, which unsettles the tiger who decides to withdraw. Janis suddenly appears in front of the half-elf, and stabs deep into the man's chest with his rapier. It isn't enough to kill him, but only just.
Furnok absolutely brains Darts into the afterlife and far beyond.

You can attempt to hinder a foe in melee as a standard action. This maneuver covers any sort of situational attack that imposes a penalty on a foe for a short period of time. Examples include kicking sand into an opponent’s face to blind him for 1 round, pulling down an enemy’s pants to halve his speed, or hitting a foe in a sensitive spot to make him sickened for a round.

If your attack is successful, the target takes a penalty. The penalty is limited to one of the following conditions:
blinded, dazzled, deafened, entangled, shaken, or sickened.
This condition lasts for 1 round. For every 5 by which your attack exceeds your opponent’s CMD, the penalty lasts 1 additional round. This penalty can usually be removed if the target spends a move action. If you possess the Greater Dirty Trick feat, the penalty lasts for 1d4 rounds, plus 1 round for every 5 by which your attack exceeds your opponent’s CMD. In addition, removing the condition requires the target to spend a standard action.

Characters who remain deafened for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
2 glowing vicious-looking bunnies twine up the casters body and slam into his ears
Wabbit's first strike slips through the various magical shields protecting the caster and slices into his side. The second strike is dodged by a step backwards, but Wabbit seizes the advantage by leaping forward and powering through with a stab right into the throat. The elf gargles up blood in some vain attempt to speak, then collapses dead.
the priest standing next to him cries out in agony. The half-elf next to Janis looks terribly shaken.
------------------------
Gallus moves around Furnok to stab the assassin called Crossbow. Though there's some awkwardness around the door getting in the way, Gallus gets a good stab into the assassin's side. Pictus runs up the stairs and sees Bill at the top. He gets a much weaker stab into that man. Saila is bringing up the rear, unable to really be of much use at the moment.
------------------------
The half-elf tries to stab Janis, but his defensive posture and his fear stop him from posing much of a threat. The priest retreats slightly and points to Janis "Kill your allies!" It seems to grab hold of Janis' mind. A bloodlust fills the sophisticated rogue.
Two male human cultists attack over the railing at Pictus with whips, but Pictus easily dodges both attacks. He may not have Gallus' strength, but he's insanely light on his feet. Then the Gnomish priestess next to Bill yells out "Kill your allies!" Pictus' composure changes, and he turns around to look at Furnok. Bill withdraws further, and Crossbow withdraws further into the room he's already in.
Andreste once again manipulates magical energies, speaking in dark tones words of power. As she does so, she begins blinking in and out of the material plane, phasing in and out, appearing and disappearing. She surges forward, stepping through the wall to the other side of the man in the hall, brandishing her dagger.
Skrate moves up and tries to growl at the surviving priest in an attempt to intimidate the man.
Andreste briefly spies a room that contains spare tools. It doesn't have anything of value in it.
All Cleo can see is the rear end of the large person in front of her, so she bounces lightly from foot to foot, waiting patiently.
Aggah is screaming like a wild demon on the back of a pig.
Bacon is scurries up the stairs while Furnok moves up while drawing his Cutlass and slashing at Crossbow
Janis attempts to shove the half-elf away as he tries to stab Andreste through the chest with his rapier.
Don't forget the miss chance.
Janis shoves the Half-Elf to the side as he storms forward to the blinking Andreste, but not before he takes a minor slash to the side. By the time he reaches her, he shakes his head and snaps out of the enchantment.
Furnok runs into the room, but there's no one to be found. He does see that one of the wooden lids overtop of the wood chute has been moved, but there's also the four spaces in the ceiling that they could have fled through. He will have to choose.
Cleo, Bacon, and Aggah all move into the queue. Cleo doesn't realize that there's someone on the staircase above her, and the priest of Norgorber is equally as surprised. He tries to slash at her with this war-razor, but he can't reach the Halfling with such a short reach weapon and the cover of the railing.
Corp Pictus drops his longspear and draws his longsword. He stares a Aggah with a blank look, then tries to attack her! She though that Pictus was an ally, but no! Thankfully the sword thrust had very little power to it, and Aggah's armour protects her from the attack. At that moment, Pictus snaps out of it and yells "F#&*! Shit! I didn't mean it!"
Gallus runs in after Furnok. It looks like he's going to follow the man's lead, whichever he takes.
Saila brings up the rear and spies the feet of that Gnomish priest on the floor above. She casts a spell which sends three little arrows of force into the Gnome's feet. It doesn't look like it was particularly effective.

"We good? Andreste asks Janis before trying to go through the wall and failing, so she tries going around the old fashioned way, moving into a flanking position for where she assumes Janis will move, dropping her dagger and preparing her giant-sticker as she moves. She lashes out at the grabbed foe.
Dwarven Giant Sticker for damage.
Wabbit nicks the priest's arm with his waveblade. Though there is armour of some sort under that robe, it doesn't look quite as impenetrable as his last opponent.
Skrate rakes the Half-Elf into the afterlife.
Trying to climb through those chutes is going to get my face stabbed.
Aggah screams in goblin rage and goes after the man's face with her spear.
Furnok and Gallus decide to hold their ground rather than race upwards into what would likely be a trap.
The half elf keeps on the defensive with a lackluster strike against Janis. He's so completely focused that he fails to see Skrate turn around and pounce on him. He's torn apart in mere seconds.
The human priest steps back and successfully concentrates while casting a spell. Wabbit feels the magical force field around his body break down prematurely. The Gnomish priestess yells out "Wildman, get the hell out of here before I melt your face off!" One of the whip-bearing cultists quickly stammers "Yes brother Mumbles" and exits behind the door with Bill running through right behind. Her eyes turn black as night, and she clearly and calmly prays "Father Skinsaw. My blade seeks the blood of your command. Grant me the power to destroy the non-believers." A pulse of energy surges from the priestess, black and painful. Everyone non-cultist in the area feels their joints seize, their vision darken, and their skin crawl.
The last whip-bearing cultist cracks it in Cleo's direction, but her armour easily deflects the attack.
Aggah tries to shank the longshank with her spear, but he easily deflects it. "Hey, screw off runt! I was bewitched!"
"Scoot, Skrate." Andreste indicates a wall for the squirrel to hide behind. She says to Janis and Wabbit "Don't forget you can fly, no need for stairs."
Then, she surges forward and draws forth magical energies with words and gestures designed to slow down their opponents.
"HEY! Stop yelling at her, it wasn't like she knew that. Aggah, stop trying to kill the guard! Both of you, NOW!" Cleo snaps at the two 'bickering with pointy things' people. "And you, Stop Now!"
Andreste can only see three enemies at this time (or 4 if from Aggah's point of view). Two of them bend to her magic, but the man fighting Wabbit is especially strong-willed. It's clear he's willing to fight to the death to avenge his 'father'.
Aggah snarls at Pictus, but she stops attacking him. Pictus is feeling the pressure, but he presses on to fight. He brazingly pushes forward past Cleo, provoking strikes from both priests. This is where Pictus shows his strength, not in power of striking (which you will notice in just a second), but in nimbly dodging both very accurate slashes. If only he could handle a sword with nearly as much dexterity. At least the whip-bearing cultist is completely paralyzed.
"Saila, I could use some healing over here!" Pictus yells behind him
"That's Sergeant to you, Corporal Pictus!" Saila hollers back
