Jace muttered something under his breath as Diterich knocked over the mug, and his sharp ears caught the sound of someone talking upstairs. As the door was hit by something hard, Jace motioned towards the door with his free hand as he drew a loaded hand crossbow from within his clothes, aiming it at the darkness at the top of the stairs.
Initiative (1d20+2=17)
Perception (1d20+5=16)
Perception Roll 9+2+11
Initiative 19+3=22
After the door is slammed, Airlon casts Mage Armor on himself and nocks an arrow to shoot at the first hostile.
Audric swears under his breath as the door begins to be battered down and begins to cast a spell over himself before hiding behind any convenient cover.
Dieterich creeps up the stairs, and draws his shield, providing enough distraction for him not to notice whatever is going on at the top of the stairs...
Here is the map at last. You can place yourselves. For example, possibly Airlon would rather hide behind the bar than the tables.
Airlon and Audric have just got their Mage Armor up and you are all armed and expecting trouble, but maybe you just got more than you bargained for.
With a final sickening crunch the door yields to the battering ram and four armored men burst in, wielding saps and shortswords, accompanied by some kind of brown hunting dog. They all wear red armbands with a black horse on them. The first one shouts: "Drop your weapons and come quietly! We don't want to break your valuable little heads."
Almost at the same time the building shakes and a deafening boom sounds overhead. Ceiling boards crack and buckle and flaming oil leaks down into the room like a fiery rain. From above you hear screams and smell burning flesh.
A dying man, covered in burning oil falls down the stairs, followed by his two surviving companions.
The bad guys act on 16, so Airlon, Audric and Jacendar beat their initiative.
Ellantera remains near the original table with the keg since she was trying to make it sound like the conversation was still on-going while the others were sneaking/preparing for a fight.

Reflex Save 7+3=10, whew!
Airlon will target the dog with his short bow. Attack Roll= 4+3(dex)+1(point blank shot)=8
Yelling, "We have to get out of here, fast!"
Reflex Save (1d20+2=3)
Reflex save to avoid splash
Reflex save to avoid burning body
Naria easily sidesteps the oil and then In a somewhat showy manner half jump/half cartwheels over the burning man.
"Anyone else get the impression that they really don't like us?"

"Anyone else get the impression that they really don't like us?"
"I'm thinking that lighting someone on fire and throwing him at you is rather extreme in any situation..."
Torrent laughs at the bounty hunter and says: "Just try it, buddy!"
There are two bad guys at the top of the stairs and four by the entrance, not counting the dog. Airlon takes a shot at the dog but misses. Jacendar is up.
Giving a slight yelp of pain as the burning man sears his flesh, Jace points his hand crossbow at the men at the top of the stairs, the small bolt winging it's way towards them.
Attack (1d20+2=16)
Damage (1d4=2)
Jacendar fires his hand crossbow at the man above the stairs, and he takes a bolt to his stomach for 6 points of damage, but that only seems to enrage him. He punches Jace with his sap , knocking him out. His comrade in arms descends the stair past him and gives Naria a slap with his sap .
The men at the door rush at Dieterich and Torrent, who each take a hit. Dieterich is hit for 3 points and Torrent for 5 (both non-lethal). The dog jumps onto the bar and snaps at Airlon, but is thwarted by the force field surrounding him.
You're all up, in any order.
Naria Goes for the man that just hit her deciding to return the favor
Attack (Non-lethal, Flurry)
Damage (Assuming only one of the attacks hit
Dieterich lays his foe low with a mighty swing, while Naria's opponent is reeling, but still standing.
Torrent slashes at one of the thugs with her axe, wounding him lightly, and moves to block them from reaching Audric.
Audric, Ellantera and Airlon are up, then the thugs.
Audric steps back and hurls his staff at the dog, but it misses and he picks it up as it rebounds back towards him.
Ellantera will stay with Torrent, fighting defensively in support of her with an eye toward getting where she can aid Jace.
Her heart doesn't really seem to be in combat, however.
Airlon's eyes begin to glow with crackles of elemental arcane energies as fear and rage builds within him at the thought of being captured. Dropping his bow, he channels his energies into a shocking grasp attack and attempts to fry the dog.
Touch Attack d20 = 10
Audric's staff misses, as does Ellantera and Airlon.
Seeing his companion fall, Dieterich's opponent drops his sap and draws his sword instead. However, neither he nor the half-orc on the stairs manages to connect.
The dog snaps its jaws angrily at Airlon but to no avail. One of the thugs facing Torrent shifts his attention to Ellantera instead, but neither of them has any luck.
You're up.
Concentration Check = 1d20+4 = 15
If I didn't lose my spell I will attempt to smack the dog again with the Shocking Grasp. If I did lose the spell, I will grab my Rod of Hard Knocks (i.e. club) and attack that way instead.
Attack Roll if applicable = 5. Doing great!
Attack (Non-lethal)
Damage (in the unlikely case the 12 hit)
Airlon draws his club and tries to fend off the offensive caníne, while Naria continues fighting the man on the stairs.
Torrent, relieved by Ellantera, casts Bless, granting her opponent an opening that he fails to profit by.
Ellantera, Dieterich and Audric are up.
Dieterich swings his flail at the thug who attacked him last, failing to connect.
Attack (1d20+4=6)
Damage (1d8+3=5)
Audric tosses his staff at the dog again, landing a solid hit.
The dog yelps in pain as Audrics staff hits home. It growls at him but for now he's shielded by the burning bar.
Ellantera is up.

Ellantera is up.
Ellantera continues to fight defensively (AC 15), but shifts her grip on the quarterstaff to swing at her opponent with both hands.
Quarterstaff attack 1d20-1=9, damage 1d6+3=5
"We have no quarrel with you, why do you attack us unprovoked?"
The man grins, showing an imcomplete set of brown teeth. "Honey, in case you don't know, there is a bounty on unauthorized spellcasters. We don't wish you any harm - we're just out to make a quick buck. A guy's got to live, hasn't he?"
The thugs press their offensive and Ellantera is hit for 4 points of non-lethal damage, while Torrent takes a cosh for 6 points (non-lethal).
At the other end of the room they maneuver into position to take out Dieterich. The bandit fighting Naria tries to tumble past her in order to flank Dieterich, but stumbles and is easily blocked. Naria, Airlon and Dieterich manage to fend off their attacks.
The thugs adjust their positions slightly .
Your turn.
Naria continues her assault on the thug
Flurry attack Non-lethal
Damage
Ellantera continues to show that she is no fighter (fighting defensively and wielding the staff two-handed).
Attack 1d20-1=5, Damage 1d6+3=5
But she does attempt to maneuver a bit, moving to L12.
"I know of no bounty and I am no rogue mage. I look forward to bringing you to the Temple of Nethys."
Kicking and punching like a diminutive whirlwind, Naria manages to knock her opponent out. Dieterich takes a ferocious swing but his foe manages to parry in the last second, the boards of his shield creaking under the onslaught. The dog gets another taste of Audric's staff, decides it has had enough and runs off yelping. Torrent aims a blow but the thug is too quick for her.
Airlon is up, then the bad guys.
Free from the menace of the dog, Airlon unleashes the energy within him, shooting a ray of electrical energy at the thug attacking Torrent.
Ranged Touch Attack 1d20=18+3+1(Point Blank Shot if it applies to rays)=22
Damage=4+1=5

Ranged Touch Attack 1d20=18+3+1(Point Blank Shot if it applies to rays)=22
Damage=4+1=5
The air crackles with electricity as Airlon unleashes his innate magic, and the thug yelps in pain. The thugs continue to try to bash you, but Torrent, Ellantera and Dieterich manage to parry their assault. Naria is hit on the side of the head for 6 points of nonlethal damage, though.
...and you're up.
Naria spends a split second to long Looking over her downed opponent and takes a sap to the back of the head for her trouble the entire room goes blurry and all the noise is muted and distorted. With more instinct than actual planning her leg lashes out in the direction the last attack came from

Ellantera moves a step to the left, creating a flank on Torrent's opponent. She takes a mighty swing, but once again fails to connect.
