Beetle and Brots:
OOC: Oh deary me!
Beetles longsword slices effortlessly through the air. In an instant it has derobed his opponent at the shoulder. A red hooded head falls to the floor with a dead thump. Green coloured flames spout from his blades edge as he deals his decisive blow, it spreads forth, striking the same foe as before in the chest. Seeing his strikes hit home, Beetle raises his shield, prepared to parry the deflect that follow.
Still attacking the Redbrand that has til now held him off. Brots swipes his daggers in vain. Still having to hit his target, the gnome is easily held at arms length by his red robed attacker.
The redbrands attack once more. Angered by the death of their leader, they are more determined than ever to destroy those that defy them. The second redbrand continues to swing his blade at Beetle.
Redbrand 2 Attack 1: 21 Redbrand 2 Attack 2: 18
The paladin continues to avoid the redbrands advances. Ducking and dodging both forearm and backhand attacks.
The third redbrand steps forward, attacking in a similar manner as his comrade. On this attack he makes a forearm swing at Beetle, before swinging backhanded at the gnome that stands slightly behind him.
Redbrand 3 Attack 1: 14 Redbrand 3 Attack 2: 9
The first blow strikes against Beetles chain mail, but causes no damage. Sparks flash across the paladins face from the impact. As he pulls his blade away the Redbrand swings backhanded toward Brots. The hit lands hard into the gnomes side causing 7 damage. A child in the crowd screams as the gnome is hit. Brots winces in pain as the redbrand draws blood through his leather armour.
The fourth and final Redbrand still has the gnome fully in his sights. Slashing his sword aggressively at Brots.
Redbrand 4 Attack 1: 6 Redbrand 4 Attack 2: 6
Again, both of the redbrands attacks miss their mark. The gnomes small stature seems to allude his adversaries swipes. One swing sails painlessly over head, while the next swipe aimed at Brots' feet is avoided as the gnome makes a swift hop. In his backpack, Brots' squirrel Iris lets out a short high pitched squeak, stressed by the situation.
Brots, hearing Iris squeak quickly tosses his backpack toward the child in the crowd. "Watch her for me!" He shouts as the backpack lands next to the child, a small squirrel popping out of one of the pockets. He then proceeds to backup from his currently location, squatting down low and drawing his bow. He takes aim at R3 he releases his arrow.
The demons powers subside temporarily as Beetle makes his next attack. His longsword slices through the air. The redcloak takes a half step backwards, millimeters away as the blade passes. The redbrand sighs a short breath of relief as Beetle again raises his shield.
Having thrown Iris to safety, Brots sends an arrow flying across the square. Soaring through the air it hits the Redbrand in the chest. His target staggers backwards, winded slightly. But holds onto his sword tightly yelling, "That the best you got shorty?!"
The Redbrands attack once more. The second of the Redbrands continues to throw blows towards Beetle. Slashing madly this way and that, determined to hit his target, he lets out an aggressive roar.
Redbrand 2 Attack 1: 17 Redbrand 2 Attack 2: 11
Beetles shield holds firm as he effortlessly parries both attacks thrown his way. The redbrand exhausts himself throwing blow after blow, the only consequence is the dull metallic thud of steel on steel as the swings land.
The third Redbrand, is clearly weakened, but still has a will to fight. He takes a feeble swing at Beetle, hitting out almost more in hope than anything.
Redbrand 3 Attack 1: 17
Sword clashes harmlessly against shield. The Redbrand, seeing his failure charges off towards the gnome who has escaped towards the west of the square. Raising his sword, he takes a few weak legged steps forwards, bringing his sword down onto his foe at the perfect moment,
Redbrand 3 Attack 2: 7
At the last moment, his strength fails him. The redbrands sword falls weakly before his target as its wielder crys out with deeply rooted pain. A trickle of blood spews from his mouth as he does so.
The final Redbrand, seeing the battlefield split, targets the paladin who so far seems to dominate the battle. Following his comrades attack he carves his blade effortlessly through the air. The air whistles on each swing.
Redbrand 4 Attack 1: 9 Redbrand 4 Attack 2: 7
The Redbrands anger affects his judgement, again the paladin remains unhurt. Not even close. The absence of training in the Redbrand ranks is all too obvious as the battle continues.
Serak: Noticing the absence of Beetle and Brots, Serak follows Zyltris and begins searching for the Paladin and Ranger.
[OOC: I was waiting for some kind of "You notice a disturbance in the town square" message, but I imagine in-game we'd of started the search almost immediately.

"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Brots, seeing R3 approach pulls out his daggers, dropping his bow to the ground. He lunges them at R3 hoping to stick the thrusts. "Die cloaked scum!" Brots yells out in anger, fighting through the pain currently running through his side.
OOC: Sorry Serak, I'd assumed the opposite and that you would leave say when you'd Halias! It's only been about 18 seconds into the fight, so you could all theoretically arrive at any time now.

Beetles blade slices downwards, slicing another sliver of red fabric from his foe. Red threads fly through the air, followed by droplets of red liquid. Once more green light emanates from the paladins blade, this time igniting his other attacker in a magical glow. Raising his shield once more, Beetle readies himself for another attack, thanking Tyr for his successes so far.
With another Redcoast upon him, Brots lashes out. His duel daggered attack blurred with his frantic movements. His angry scream fills the square. Cuts of flesh fly off his attacker before it drops to the floor dead in a bloody pile. Across the square, Beetle feels a slight rejuvenation as the cursed foe falls to the gnomes blades.
Hearing the commotion, Zyltris, Serak and Syna run into the square weapons drawn, ready to protect their allies.
The final two redbrands continue their attacks. The first Redbrand (R2) slashes his sword back at Beetle in retaliation.
Redbrand 2 Attack 1: 17 Redbrand 2 Attack 2: 8
Again, both attacks fail to strike home, the paladins shield holds out as the Redbrand swipes in vain.
The second of the remaining Redbrands, seeing his two allies fall dead and yet more enemies arrive, but continues to struggle on. Seeing his current foe hidden behind a shield, he disengages and charges towards the gnome who is currently isolated on the west of the battlefield.
OOC: I must have missed your post Serak. I'll add you all into the next round, same initiative as the other two.
Upon the hit from the Redbrand landing Beetle's shield goes off and his AC raises by 5 to 23 until his next turn. Beetle sees his allies coming and yells..."Take one alive if possible."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Brots seeing the Redbrand charge at him quickly picks up his bow and takes aim at him. His form steady and focused he releases his arrow. "Eat my arrow weakling!" Brots shouts in Gnommish.
Trying out a new initiative order here guys. Ordered by post order to try and keep things flowing. Brots has just moved against R4.
OOC: Side note Brots. Because R4 is within 5ft of you, your ranged attacks would come at a disadvantage. I'll roll a secondary dice here: 18. That's still enough so you've scored 6 damage against R4.
My bad again. R4 should now be at 9 damage - forgot to add on one of Beetles green flames +3
OOC: you can apply it to the same as before, the cursed one...Brots turn
Brots using this opportunity takes a couple swings at R3. "Leave my friend alone!" Brots shouts as his small arms move furiously.
Attack 1: 18 Damage: 5
Attack: 19 Damage: 4

Beetle and Brots:
ROUND 3
Beetle once again invokes the dark powers and swings at the cursed one R3 casting Green-Flame Blade as he strikes
Attack: 18 Damage: 10 (I put the extra 2 from the curse into the damage modifier)
If it hits the flame will jump to R4
Beetle will also as last round have his Shield ready to cast as reaction to any damage
Brots, hearing Iris squeak quickly tosses his backpack toward the child in the crowd. "Watch her for me!"

Zyltris bears a clash outside and tries to find what is going on. He is charging about so not being very stealthy.

OOC: not to mention you were leaving the house when this started so I would assume your outside by now and would hear the comotion
Beetle and Brots:
ROUND 4
Beetle still engaged with 2 Redbrands locks his sight on R2 and casts Green-Flame Blade....
As his sword comes down he whispers...."Tyr, guide my blade..."
Attack: 25 Damage: 10
Additional flame jumps to R4 for 3 damage
And as before readies his shield for a reaction incase he takes a hit
Brots, seeing R3 approach pulls out his daggers, dropping his bow to the ground. He lunges them at R3 hoping to stick the thrusts. "Die cloaked scum!" Brots yells out in anger, fighting through the pain currently running through his side.
