Thrakhir takes another swing at the halfling with the handaxe. Attack 18, Damage 3
Black Tom
The cleric draws a shortsword and moves to engage Kirwen, slashing his arm for 8 points of damage.
I went ahead and placed the cleric next to Kirwen, but I justed wanted to make sure you know that it is 35' movement to get there by the fastest means and would have provoked an attack of opportunity by Clark at least.
Kirwen swipes blindly at whoever it was that hurt him, claws flailing wildly.
He catches nothing but air, however, and he instinctively tries to back away from the source of harm.
Juliare is overcome by the mage's eldritch power and flees in terror. The dead dwarf does likewise when faced by Petra's holy power.
Brock lets out a little growl of anger as he is hit over the head while running around like a blind idiot.
Brock still blind runs towards the dwarf he had first tried to charge, not knowing that he has begun to run away, he also doesn't swing at the person passing him because he has no idea if it is friend or foe.

Kirwen finishes his magic, now towering over his allies at nearly 13 feet tall. He blinks a few times, shaking his head, and the sparkles fade from his vision. He looks around the field of combat, his hands already shifting into red-scaled claws.
As Brock tries to run past, the ugly man trips him with his quarterstaff, dumping him unceremoniously in 0815.
Clark is up, then the mage and the ugly man.
Brock hits the ground with a thud and loses it! He yells out in a bloody rage!
Even in the Rage Brock cant get the blind out of him and jumps at the person who tripped him like some wild bear.
Well, you could head-butt him if you like, but attacking from a prone position takes a -4 penalty and an unarmed attack like head-butting provokes another AoO. Then again, so does standing up, and you only have one standard action left, so you can't stand up and attack.
Clark moves protectively toward Petra and swings his sword at her attacker, attacking defensively in light of his significant wound. Defensive Longsword attack 1d20-1=12 and Damage 1d8+2=7.

The mage looks alarmed at Kirwen's transformation and directs a spell at him. The ugly man chuckles as he trips Brock again and thwacks him while he's down for 6 points of damage.
The cleric attacks Petra with both his swords but she easily fends him off. The halfling stabs Thrakhir in the abdomen for 4 points.
Juliare and the dead dwarf continue to run respective shuffle in opposite directions.
Petra, Clark, Brock, Thrakhir and Kirwen - you're all up.
Realizing there are no enemies nearby, Kirwen lumbers toward the cleric, drawing his mace as he goes. He points one scaly red claw at the mage, growling, "You're next, Sparkles," before grasping the mace in both hands and taking a mighty swing at the cleric.
Mace attack (1d20+4=24, damage 2d6+5=16)
crit confirm (remembering bless this time) (1d20+5=7, 2d6+5=10)
Just one question , did I drop my bow ?
No, you didn't.
Petra channels energy = 6 HP
She leaves out: hafling, mage, gray-haired human male.
The Party and unarmed (unharmed) half-orc is healed 6 HP. She then moves to help Brock.
Petra mocks the ugly man: Got your hands full? Don't worry. Soon you'll have no hands left.
Thrakhir takes another swipe at the halfling with his masterwork handaxe.
Attack the halfling (1d20+4=24, 1d6+1=7)
"Hurts, don't it?" Thrakhir says with a smile.

Brock tries to get up again...
The halfling drops to the ground with a shattered collarbone. The priest bleeds badly but fights on. Brock is thwacked again for 4 points as he rises, but can then attack if he likes.
Brock can take a swing at the ugly man, but then the mage casts a spell and runs away at an amazing speed, and the ugly man follows suit.
The cleric finds himself the last man standing and blasts you all with unholy energy, which oddly seems to heal himself.

Petra's will save roll: 1d20+5=15.
Thrakhir moves back to his allies and attacks the cleric.
Attacking cleric with sneak attack damage. (1d20+6=26, 2d6+2=10)
Critical confirmation (1d20+6=20)
Thrakhir chops the evil cleric down and a moment of silence ensues, only broken by the sound of desperately fleeing enemies.
Clark watches the cleric fall with some relief and looks around to see how his companions fared before relaxing and finding something to lean against while he catches his breath.
Will save (1d20+2=6)
Kirwen takes the blast of negative energy with a grunt, but does not seem terribly fazed by it.
As the ambushers flee, Kirwen gives a satisfied laugh. "Now that's more like it!" he booms out. "Thrakhir, m'boy, let's see what these fine fellows have to offer us, since they thought to take our treasure away." He turns toward Clark, nodding approvingly. "Well done, freed-man. And you too, priestess."
He looks at the unconscious bodies. "We got any need for these pathetic bastards?"
When it comes to easily disposable wealth, the cleric carries a masterwork longsword and a masterwork shortsword and three scrolls of Cure Light Wounds. The halfling also has a masterwork shortsword, a magic ring and two identical potions.
[...]He looks at the unconscious bodies. "We got any need for these pathetic bastards?"
Petra:
- I want the Clerci's head.- Cleric of the moon. Well what would he think if we left him b*tt naked? Then the moon can admire him.
Moon? Well it's daytime now and you're dead so you'll stay quiet.
Brock Swings wildly at the air around him! Blind and totally pissed off!
Completely unaware that the battles over...

"Brock! Brock! They've fled! Stop swinging before you hit a friend!"
-----------------------------
Clark picks up the cleric's longsword (assuming no one has) and gives is a couple of practice swings. "This weapon has a better balance than mine." He looks around at the others, "Would it be all right if I used this weapon, at least until we are able to sell it?"
-----------------------------
Looking at the wounded, he says, "I'm not against killing in the heat of battle, but killing a helpless individual in cold blood doesn't seem right to me. If nature lets them live, so be it. But I don't think we should be their executioners." If they are not stabilized, Clark will try to use their own clothes to bind their wounds - he won't ask anyone else to do it, and he won't use the party's equipment to do it. If someone offers to do it, he will aid them.
Heal or Aid Another checks, as appropriate and if necessary:
1d20+5=12, 1d20+5=19, 1d20+5=7, 1d20+5=6
-----------------------------
He's a little shocked at Petra's attitude toward the cleric, even with their recent history. "One or two bad clerics do not mean they are all deserving of the same fate, Petra. We could easily find ourselves relying on the healing graces of a cleric of the Moon down the road."

Had we been talking about a fair fight, decent honourable people and a surrender. Then I would agree to help the wounded. But this?
They ambush us, they are neither honourable nor people. An undead dwarf and a cleric that get healed by unholy energy. Since when does unholy energy heal decent people? Since when does it heal any people for that matter? If he isn't an undead he's probably somethinh worse. And they didn't surrender.Shall we heal them so they can continue to murder, torture, plunder and rape?
Shall we spare you?
- yes yes, please do, please get us better so we can continue to maim, murder, mutilate, and molest. That's what we do, cause mayhem and create undead, because we're evil. All praise to the moon.
Perhaps not all clerics of the moon are bad, but this one is and he attacked me and now he is going to taste a blad for the last time. If you want to you can go and take care of the hafling, this one is mine. Taking care of the bandit problem by being nice?
Clark does not make a move to stop Petra. "If we do not heal him, we are little better than he. Stopping his bleeding and leaving him to be eaten on the side the road is hardly a mercy, but it lets nature make the final decision. It's not for you and I to decide, but if you choose to, it's on your conscience, not mine."
He walks over to the halfling instead.
Brock hears his friend deep in the back of his rage, but since he is blind, thinks this too could be magic and tries to hit the target that is no longer there in a frenzy of yells and grunts.
"Brock! I'd be settlin' down before I have to settle ya down myself!" Thrakhir says with a coarse tone. The heat of battle still evident in his voice.
"Well, let's see, we've come across two clerics of the moon and both have been up to no good. I agree with with Petra, although, these two may be havin' some useful information on the the bandits we're lookin' for. Heck, they may be part of the same group. I say we be sparin' them for nothin' more than information, Petra. If they got nothin' useful to say, then we leave 'em be as Clark says. Let 'em be survivin' out here with the clothes on their backs. That's punishment enough, I say."
Thrakhir looks up to Clark. "Ya fought bravely today, lad. As far as i'm concerned, keep the sword. It'll be helpin' you watch my back all the better."
Thrakhir moves over to the halfling and strips the ring, sword, potions, armor and all other mundane equipment off the halfling and hog ties his hands and feet together with a short length of rope. Oink, oink." he says tauntingly to his prey.
He then looks over at Petra, "Am I tyin' him up, too? Or are ya killin' him without knowin' what he's got to say?"
The cleric is wearing banded mail which you may also be interested in, whether you kill him on the spot or not.

Yeah, he's indeed dead as a coffin nail.
Seeing no argument with his keeping the cleric's longsword, Clark replaces the one in his sheath. After thinking about it for a moment, he starts working to remove the cleric's longsword sheath.
