Jarrin looks at the mess in the kitchen before taking a step back, grabbing the sharpest kitchen knife she can and starting to slice through the straps holding her armor on to get out of it as soon as she can.
"Go help them, give one of the dwarfs my sword!"
She nudges the real guards forward as she turns to let someone grab the sword at her side.
Vonth watched Godrick advance, black robes whispering around him like smoke. The robed man halted before Korda and spoke—loud, theatrical, words meant to stir chaos. “This is your moment. Do what you will with it.”
Before anyone could test that invitation, two guards rushed in.
“Everyone just stop where you are!” Culver barked. “Get back—”
He was trying to contain a storm with commands. Words where force was needed. Vonth respected the effort, but it was a doomed approach. Culver was a good man in the wrong kind of moment.
Godrick’s hand moved—a flicker, nothing more—and a lance of blue energy tore across the hall. It struck Culver squarely, lifting him off his feet before dropping him, a smoking scorch mark in his chest.
Vonth’s eyes tracked the bolt without a flinch. Culver had shown decency, and Vonth bore him no ill will. But he was still a guard. Their paths were never meant to align for long.
Solomona stepped forward, voice raised—not in fear, but in warning, trying to steer the remaining guard toward his fallen partner. A distraction offered without realizing it.
Vonth moved.
Silent. Direct. Purposeful.
While Solomona held the guard’s attention, Vonth closed the distance with the singularintent of putting the man down quickly and taking whatever weapons he carried.
The world was cracking open. Tools would be needed. And Vonth intended to claim them.
((Will wait for turn in initiative before making any attacks or such... But to begin, at least, Vonth will be making non-lethal attacks intended to subdue rather than kill.))
Fury sings down Avaria's veins and the rage (BA) bubbles over. Taking the borrowed longsword in both hands, the shifter charges towards the black clad soldiers, abandoning all pretenses and attacking recklessly.
As she runs into position, she shouts "WARDEN!!!!"how the woman not only disobeyed her suggestion, but left these bastards within the walls with their weapons is beyond her.
Taking her fighting stance, she slashes away at the soldier.
Attack 1 w/adv due to recklessness: (crit!) 28, Damage: 17+ 2due to rage Attack 2 w/adv: 27, Damage: 9+ 2
She then backs away from them, attempting to draw their forces towards her and away from Hammerdasher and Ula. (Due to the totem of the eagle, all AoO have disadvantage against her)
Avaria's fury surprises the black clad soldiers. The one she leaps on (Soldier 6) and savagely hacks is badly injured, blood pouring down his shoulder and arms. Three of her opponents are within reach to slash at her as she bounds back and away and while they all hack out with their longswords, two miss completely, and one brushes against her sword arm but isn't able to even draw blood.
The six however are trained soldiers and they don't fall for the feint and they hold their ground so they can support each other. None of them chase after Avaria. Instead, they focus on Hammerdasher and Ula. Forming a slightly curved line, three each take a shot at the two dwarves. Each one slashes out twice. With the flurry of blades, Avaria and Jan can see Hammerdasher take two solid blows to his shield arm and Ula gets hacked three times.
Hammerdasher bellows at the guards and seeing the one Avaria bloodied, he thumps down hard with his meat tenderizer, smashing the soldier in the face, causing more blood to flow.
-----------------------------------
Marrin/Jarrin is up.
IN THE PANOPTICON:
Godrick turns his head to look at Vonth and nods.
"You have made an unwise choice, my friend." Godrick says.
Another flick of his wrist, but this time two slashes of blue energy rips across the prison and stab into Vonth. While not deadly, Vonth is still injured (14 force damage).
Solomona notices a shimmer of energy surround Godrick, giving the black robes man the appearance of being covered in frost.
Korda laughs at the melee that has begun.
"Can't have you getting in the way of a good business deal," Korda says.
Tattoos on both of Korda's arms light up with what appears to be dancing flames on her forearms. One of the flames leaps up into the air and flies at the still uninjured guard. The other does the same but darts through the air to Culver. The standing guard manages to dodge to the side, bumping into Vonth as he does but still avoids the magical flames. Culver is not so lucky and just as he looks to be trying to stand up takes the full blast of the fire in his face, knocking him back again, where he collapses, unmoving.
