Another volley of arrows comes flying out of the rain from behind the customs house. They are aimed at Grunthor, Damandor and the smuggler beside the crate. All three of them are ineffective, sailing past the three harmlessly.
Round one volley of arrows. (1d20+3=5, 1d8=3, 1d20+3=11, 1d8=7, 1d20+3=10, 1d8=3)
The cultist at N7 (who was hit by Eland’s magic missile) rushes forward to K7 and swings his scimitar at the smuggler, his blade cutting deeply. With a groan, the man sinks to the ground, clutching his wound painfully as he lapses into unconciousness.
The masked cultist at N8 continues his run and engages Damandor from J8. Attack on Damandor. (1d20+3=11, 1d8+2=6) However, the cleric fends the attack off easily.
The final cultist, who was attacked by Ivan, releases a vicious attack with his scimitar in return. Attack on Ivan. (1d20+3=19, 1d8+2=4 hp damage) The blade cuts into the broad man’s chest, tearing his shirt and leaving a dark stain of blood.
Anyssa draws her starknives as she moves forward to attack the cultist at K7.
First roll is a natural 20 (+3)= 23 to hit, confirmation roll 3 (+3) = 6, so probably not. 2 damage. (grumble) Second roll (using TWF) 17 (+3)= 20. Presuming that hits, 3 damage.

Despite her apparent clumsiness, the slight girl slips easily through the fray. One of the cultists swings his scimitar at her as she passes but she dodges easily to one side. The cultist she has targeted turns to face her, raising his scimitar in defence. However, Anyssa cuts under his guard, slashing him deeply with both blades in one deft maneuver and dropping him where he stands.
Flint moves to assist An, flinging acid at the smuggler(but staying back so as to not provoke and AoO for the ranged attack).
Acid Bolt: 13 ranged touch but only 3 points of damage.

Flint thrusts his hand forward, palm open as he summons a gout of acid which splashes over the smuggler making him cry out in pain and surprise. The sturdy dwarf then strides forward to stand between Ivan and Anyssa, ready to take further action.
The two smugglers finally respond to the chaos erupting around them. The red headed woman shouts a command to her remaining henchman and they swiftly make a dash out along one of the piers, preparing to rendezvous with the smuggler on the skiff. As they run through the rain, their leader clutches the coffer you delivered close to her chest.
This map shows the state of play at the start of round two.
The smugglers are about to pile onto the skiff and make a run for it. It appears that the three cultists behind the customs house are readying another volley of arrows. The masked men currently fighting you are pressing the attack fiercely.
Grunthor will do:
1. Draw Great Sword
2. Go into rage (a free action)
3. Attempt to turn the cultist in front of me into goo.
d20+6+2(rage) = 12+7 = 20
Damage=2d6+6+2 = 16
Take that you scum bag.

With a bestial cry, Grunthor lifts his greatsword high and swings it down through the rain in a vicious arc. The cultist tries frantically to block the descending sword, but the savage blow knocks his scimitar aside with ease. The masked figure staggers to one side under the force of the blow, collapsing in a heap on the ground as the enraged barbarian cuts him down.
Ivan steps forward, flexing his powerful muscles as he closes on one of the attackers. The cultist slips free of the monks grasp, however he stops his headlong rush and prepares to engage the monk in melee.
Ivan continues to grapple his opponent. CMB:23
Eland casts Daze on the cultist at J8. He then moves to F6 to get a line of sight on the cultist firing from behind the customs building.
The rage must have destroyed the remainder of the poison as I rolled a 19 + 6= 25.
Damandor ignores the smugglers as they run past him, as they are not attacking the party. As he drops his crossbow to the ground he says to Grunthor, "Too bad they don't stay and fight with us, with their help we could easily defeat these usurpers, but defeat them we will anyway. Let me help you with those wounds you have received."
Damandor chants briefly in a language other then common, and then gestures and reaching out, lays his hand on Grunthor healing him with a surge of energy granted to him by Corellon. He says to Grunthor, "That is the best I can do for now until I can have a better look at those wounds."
He then draws his longsword and prepares to face the attacker in front of him.
Ivan continues to grapple his opponent. CMB:23
This time, Ivan succeeds in getting a secure grip on the masked man. Twisting one arm painfully behind the cultist's back, the skilled wrestler traps his opponent's scimitar against the struggling man's body, preventing him from getting a clear swing.
Eland casts Daze on the cultist at J8. He then moves to F6 to get a line of sight on the cultist firing from behind the customs building.
Moving to get a clear view of the hidden attackers, Eland reaches into his pouch and produces a small pinch of wool, muttering an incantation as he does so. The cultist shakes his head briefly before reaching for another arrow as he shrugs off the effect.
Ivan twist the man's arm, forcing his head down, wrapps his other arm around the man's head, and gives a powerful twist
Damage; further grapple check: 8, 22

Garret moves out of the alleyway.
Garret moves out of the alleyway.
No trouble. If you wanted to, from there you can see and would be able to fire an arrow at the cultist at T6.
Garret fires an arrow at one of the cultists.
1d20+4=10, 1d4-1=2
Garret fires an arrow at one of the cultists.
1d20+4=10, 1d4-1=2
Garret fires his bow at one of the cultists, however it sails wide and lands in the sea. The three masked cultists each also release another arrow, firing on Eland, Damandor and Grunthor. None of them hit their target, two sailing wide and the third turned aside by Damandor's armor.
Arrow attacks on Eland, Damandor, Grunthor (1d20+3=6, 1d8=3, 1d20+3=13, 1d8=3, 1d20+3=6, 1d8=7)The cultist grappling Ivan struggles desperately against the stronger man, however is unable to wrench himself free of the wrestler’s hold.
Cultist attempts to break Ivan's hold. (1d20+2=14)
Anyssa darts off into the rain, running at the archers with knives held ready. It seems like they are going to stand their ground.
Flint takes a five foot step to Flank with Ivan and to hit the man in Ivan's grip with the flat of his blade for nonlethal damage(-4 to attack roll)
Scimitar
Melee:14=14-4+2+2(flank bonus)

Flint steps behind the cultist who is struggling with Ivan and brings the hilt of his scimitar down hard on the man's head. He groans loudly, but remains conscious.
The surviving smugglers rapidly pile into the skiff which then pushes away from the pier and slips into deeper waters through the rain. Standing in the bow looking back at you, the red headed woman watches as you struggle against the cultists. Soon the boat disappears into the gloomy darkness, your view obscured by the falling rain and intervening ships moored nearby.
Ivan twist the man's arm, forcing his head down, wrapps his other arm around the man's head, and gives a powerful twist
Damage; further grapple check: 8, 22
With a short jerk, Ivan crunches bone against bone. The cultist groans loudly before lapsing into unconsciousness.
Eland steps up and uses crate for cover. He fires crossbow at cultist at T7.
Producing a piece of parchment with something written on it from his belt pouch, Damandor speaks an incantation, once again speaking the same language that he used before. He speaks not loudly, but would be heard by those close by. He then once again touches Grunthor, and as he does says, "This may keep you from being hit again."
Damandor then moves towards the archers cautiously.
Eland steps up and uses crate for cover. He fires crossbow at cultist at T7.
Moving up to kneel beside the crate, Eland levels his crossbow at the cultists and releases a bolt. One of the masked bowmen beside Anyssa is hit square in the chest. He staggers slightly but remains standing.

A shimmering field forms about the enraged Grunthor, providing him some added protection from attacks.
Dropping his defeated enemy, Ivan moves forward towards the crate.

Grunthor expends another rage point to remain enraged and CHARGES in a straight line of 50' to S7 and attacks cultist at T7.
He rolls an 11 + 6 + 2 for rage + 2 for CHARGE = 21.
Damage = 10+6 =16.
Hia AC is now 16 -2 for rage, -2 for CHARGE & +2 for Shield of faith = 14.
Sorry, that was an attack of 20, not 21. The 6 S.B. a 5.
Garret moves upward and fires another shaot at the cultists.

With a roar, Grunthor charges across the docks at one of the remaining cultists. The masked man tries in vain to step to one side, but the barbarian runs him through with his greatsword, dropping him where he stands.
Garret moves upward and fires another shaot at the cultists.
Garret shoots at the cultist furthest from the fray, the arrow hitting the masked man squarely in the chest.
The two remaining attackers both discard their shortbows and draw scimitars. As the first cultist attacks her clumsily, Anyssa dodges easily to one side.
Attack on Anyssa (1d20+1=3, 1d6=2)
The second steps forward to confront the enraged barbarian. Oblivious to this new threat, Grunthor fails to defend himself in time before suddenly feeling a sharp pain as the slicing blade cuts him deeply.
Attack on Grunthor (1d20+1=18, 1d6=6 damage)
Anyssa slices at the man in front of her.

If that hits
Acid Damage:4=3+1
He then shouts
"Come and face me you fool tall ones! Or do you fear a dwarf who call upoun the forces of Nature?!?"
It is clear he enjoys fighting in the storm.
Anyssa slices at the man in front of her.
Anyssa's blades flash through the air, the cultist fends one off with his scimitar, but the other cuts deeply. Without flinching, and despite the overwhelming odds before them, he prepares to return the attack.

The scene is lit briefly by a flash of lightning and there is a loud crash of thunder as Flint's second gout of acid shoots wide of the mark. The cultists ignore his shouted challenge, pressing their attack on Anyssa and Grunthor.
Garret moves forward and fires another shot.
Damandor hurries around the far side of the customs house to stand next to Grunthor. He then attacks the masked enemy in front of Grunthor with his longsword.
