Tristan blanches at the thought of cutting Tbitha, but luckily Hadi acts faster. At his question Tristan nods and replies in a soft tone "They may try and transport us away using magic, and we do not want to be caught wherever they take us. I will take the one on the right, Hadi, take the left. Do not let them escape."
At that he pulls Tbitha to her feet, as gently as he is able while keeping up the ruse, and starts to march forward towards the trio.

While things are going a little differently than expected, Khessa is eager to take action...
'We've already eliminated seven of them, before, at the den. And one more had already be wounded or killed by Ozemon, today, during their raid at his home. There can't be many more... I still don't know how many have come now, but there's a good chance they're the last. They shouldn't have many other shadowhunters in reserve by now. If we eliminate these too... our T'bitha will be able to live more peacefully for quite a while!'
The blonde arcane warrior grins at the thought and keeps listening carefully to whatever the drows or her friends say, to understand when the fight begins... She also continues to keep an eye on Dimitri, ready to react to a signal from him, at least as long as he remains in her sight.
As T'bitha begins casting and cursing the three visible shadowhunters, combat is going to begin, seeing that Hadi and Tristan standing next to her didn't attempt to stop her casting.

T’bitha wriggles her hands out of the bindings and reaches for the holy symbol around her neck. A dim, pale light, centered on her and radiating outward 30 feet fills the area. Hadi and Tristan feel a cooling, tingling sensation (think Vick’s vapor rub) as they feel their body and soul invigorated.

Left-handed Drow Shadowhunter and Psychic Drow Shadowhunter both begin climbing down the side of the building before disappearing once they get out of the light created by the Crossbow Drow Shadowhunter. T'bitha, Hadi, and Tristan, the three of you can hear them approaching, but they don't strike yet.
Dimitri and Tristan, you're both up! Dimitri, you have what sounds like 3 invisible drow walking ahead of you towards the rest of your group. Tristan, you have 2 invisible drow in front of you and one visible one with a crossbow on the roof.

As the shot ran through the night air, Dimitri pulls out his crossbow from behind his coat and returns fire at the Crossbow Drow Shadowhunter. It seems like T'bitha and the others are getting surrounded, he has no idea if they noticed the three invisible drow approaching them. "Behind you!" He yells, before retreating to the shadows to hide again, hoping the drow are to distracted to notice him.
Attack: 16 Damage: 5 ((Is Dimitri still hidden? If so advantage: 21 and sneak attack: 12))

Tristan readies himself for combat, drawing his sword and stepping away from T'bitha. He holds the sword towards her, but his eyes move around, trying to judge where the shadowhunters will resurface. Doing his best to match the drow's accent, he cries out "What foul magic have you placed on us you tratiorous moon worm, remove it or you die."

Dimitri you release a crossbow bolt and hit the Crossbow Drow Shadowhunter dealing 12piercing damage to her. Dimitri, you feel pretty well hidden.
Tristan you feel like you've done a pretty good job bluffing, and it seems to be protecting you at the moment from threat from the surrounding drow.

Hadi and Khessa you're up! T'bitha you can also post for round 2!
Hadi you appear to be getting surrounded, Khessa, you could make it to, and attack, one of the drow that have appeared as they attacked Hadi, though there is still an invisible one as well between you and them that launched a bolt at T'bitha. There is a chance if you run past the invisible drow, she will attack you.
(OOC: If Conjurer Drow Shadowhunter launched a bolt, I expect him to have a ranged weapon equipped, not a melee one, so he should not be able to make attacks of opportunity)
Khessa runs to Hadi's help, brandishing her greatsword and cleaving at Soulknife Drow Shadowhunter.

I might argue that Hadi was still in disguise at this point... but it's ok, the attack missed anyway thanks to mage armor~
Also, were we/you going to change my ring's Life Sap ability to be included on melee spells? Or still only proper 'attack' actions?
Becoming quickly surrounded, Hadi tosses off his cloak with a flourish and starts to whistle the song of his ancestors, becoming more and more familiar with the tune the more he sings it. Pulling his dagger from his belt he squeezes the hilt causing the blade to glow green and strikes out at the nearest of the drow that he can see.

Tristan whips out his blade, circling round so the two drow within reach line up, then slashes out, giving them no time to reconsider their choice in ignoring him.
