"Mitra!"

With a battle cry, Terodius gets down to business, swinging with his longsword and letting the Mitran lion's head on his shield loose to bite at his foes...

Free action - Activate Lion's head shield
Full round action - full attack. Order of attacks: hell hound in green box, other hell hound, fire giant
5' step - if the hell hound in the green square falls (adjacent to the fire giant), Terodius will 5' step into the green square.

Only attack A hits and does not down the hell hound. rolling a 1 misses and you are done.

Hearing Terodius's battle cry Ratel knows the inquisitor has surged to the east protecting Jim's flank on that side. Knowing Ciri and Thoron were surging forwards, Ratel shifts his spear to protect on this side as well. Thrusting his long spear at the nearest 'western' Hell hound.

IF the first attack kills the nearest hell hound, please have him 5 ft step and attack the second, thank you :)

The goblin grumbles something about, ...wanted to kill the dogs... bigguns in da way. as he tumbles the all the way around the fire giant, coming up opposite Terodius.

Withdrawing his longspear from the fallen 'hound' Ratel gives a wolfish smile as the next creature steps to where he can stab it with his spear.

If you are attacking the hell hound it will not only hit but kill it.

He is! he is attacking the hellhound :)

Terodius realizes that he's dog food if he stays where he is (especially with Ciri missing with Enervate). He takes a slash at the fire giant as a distraction, calls on Mitra's war portfolio, and retreats...

The goblin looks about quickly realizing he's facing a fire giant and hellhounds... nearly alone.

Hey! Big biggun'... you know my name?! His boldness spent, he tries to tumble away, closer to Ciri.

Acrobatics, tumble away: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 21 + 5 = 27

Well, that was unexpected...

Terodius rolls a 1. He fumbles his weapon and spends the rest if the round recovering it so no retreat.

Ok, Ciri and Thoron are up after the fire giant... We haven't actually hit the giant with anything; do we want to try to break it off? Unfortunately, unless one of our casters has a trick, I don't see how.

Sorry, thought weapon attacks were different then magic attacks. Either let him miss, or let the first attack be a readied attack. Either way leave as is and let's move on.

So that list of potions, wands and scrolls are all things people can take and use to buff and help, be happy to drop any item as part of my move.

Ok, next to act is No-mi-name, and then the fire giant (and his dogs)...

"Who is hurting? Please let me know."

We have two who are still down a bunch - No-mi-name and Jim
