((OK, think I got the map thing figured out, thanks, skald. Wow, is the throne room really 80 feet long? For some reason I was thinking it was much smaller.))

Hmm, Rissit will be next to Erunak, at A4.

-Map updated-

[Rettu Skcollob]

I'm going to be RP'ing Tamly and Cristobal for this combat session then.

-Back to the fray-

Once again the malignant voice rings through the door, immense scorn evident even through the wooden obstruction.

Very well, you have chosen a painful death. Break it down.

A low grunt is heard, and the sudden sound of metal against wood echoes throughout the throne room. The braziers light flickers, illuminating your faces strangely. An air of grim determination fills the room. Once again the sound is heard. And another time. The door is shuddering slightly with every strike, even with the two people bracing it.

Abruptly the sound of splintering wood is heard, the large room echoing the sound, and the head of a large axe bursts through the right hand side of the large door. The light catches the gleaming edge of the blade, before it is quickly thrust back. through the fist sized hole it has wrought in the polished wood of the door. Once again, splintering wood, small chunks skittering across the floor, as this time a length of the axes shaft protrudes from the door. The hole is now almost large enough for someone to put their head through.

This time, suddenly however, the large human female bracing against the door whips out her hand, grasping where the head meets the shaft, and grunting, effort evident, she pulls it with all her strength.[A Check was resolved, An opposed check was resolved] The wielder of the axe must not have expected this, for she easily yanks the weapon out of the hands of its wielder, continuing the momentum of her movement, she reaches backwards, letting go of the axe. She watches it clatter on the marble floor briefly, before stepping back from the door and drawing her own greataxe. Grinning, she bellows towards the door;

Who is having the axe now, eh?

Lowering her tone, she turns to the other adventurer bracing the door.

Step back, there is no point in bracing the door when they can smash through it.

Muffled voices are heard from behind the door.

You idiot! Step aside, you blithering imbecile!

I am sorry master...

The voices are once again raised to what they were before.

Let me show you how it's done! You, hand me that flask!

[Your move, should you wish to make one]

[rovinpiper]

Hi guys,

Sorry for disappearing on you. I'm deploying with my Army Reserve unit again. I don't think that I'm going to be able to participate in the game.

Sorry about that.

Best of luck, guys.

[Grrth]

Erunak: "Get back! Get away from the door!"

((whatever's in that flask, I don't want to be standing directly in front of the door when it takes effect. Erunak will take a five-foot step backwards and to the left, to B3, I think.))

[Skjaldbakka]

I'm still here, and still hiding behind the throne.

[Rettu Skcollob]

The Elf in burnished scale bracing the door hesitates for a moment, then quickly moves backwards slightly, [5 foot step] just as a smashing sound reverberates throughout the dimly lit room. There is a tinkle of broken glass on the other side of the door.

And now the other.

Once again, the a smash and the tinkling sound of broken glass.

Get back! Get back!

A sharp hissing sound is heard, then a sound like a gasping breath.
A few moments of silence pass.
Suddenly, a monstrously loud booming sound is heard, the door soars inwards, bursting off of its hinges and clattering to the ground, the side facing up blackened and covered in flames.

The blue-robed attackers are finally revealed in the hallway, 30 feet down. You count 14 in total. The torches at even intervals on both sides of the wall casting light upon their hooded faces. Standing out first is the only visible one not wearing a hood. A thin demeanour and shaved head, his face has curiously rat-like anthropomorphic qualities. He grins abominably, and you cannot tell whether it is the torch light or not, but his teeth seem un-naturally yellow, and his robe has white seams running through it in disconcerting patterns. in his hands he holds a small crossbow, and there is a small container with crossbow bolt ends protruding from it strapped to his leg.

Flanking him on either side are numerous hooded figures, about nine grasping longswords and small metal shields, with the familiar image of a candle emblazoned upon them, and six clasping their hands together, with no visible weaponry about them.

Attack.

[Actions please. I shall roleplay Cristobal until a better alternative arises.]

[Glawackus]

Erunak heads towards the door, and is clearly getting ready to charge.

I'm afraid I can't access the map editor on this computer, so I won't be able to edit the map until I get home later today.

[Skjaldbakka]

Skjaldbakka will wait until one of the opponents is within 30ft. of the throne, and then let fly with a vial of alchemist's fire:

(1d20)[13] to hit
(1d6)[5] sneak attack damage
(1d6)[1] alchemical fire damage

[Grrth]

Kit will remain where he is, to shoot when someone comes in range.

Erunak will remain where he is, prefering to let the enemy come to him.
