    Surprise Round ...

    Moorgram raises his hands to evoke peace and says, "Stay in your ..." and that is where he is interrupted by a fey that stabbed him in his chain shirt (that didn't puncture) that is standing at his feet.

    Another one at his feet is likewise hapless in getting its little rapier through Moorgram's chain shirt.

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T25:
    Blue stabs him in the knee this time for 1 NL.

    R1T20: A crossbow bolt whizzes by his head, shot by someone/something on the stairs of the dais.

    R1T19: Moorgram, your previously posted bit interrupted, what do you do?

    R1T19: Moorgram swings his axe at the creature who stabbed him in the knee by striking Blue in the upper leg for 13 mod. "Begone unless you want to die!" he shouts as he tries to move into the room.

    R1T16: Red steps under a chair for cover and concentrates. Moorgram's axe thrums in his hand and by force of will he ends whatever was happening.

    R1T8: Darkhelm now appears on the pad, though she has little time to do anything else.

    R1T9: "Mierul Ardelain!" calls out Lady Argentea. "When Nadya's camp was our host, we in turn with her was yours. Give up your allegiance to your liege, and lay down your arms that no harm may come to you, else I will lay you low."

    She has to work her way around the difficult terrain of table and chairs, but comes up to the stairs out of reach of the fey there. The fey on the stairs is the same one that wintered with you on the night you first arrived, a guest of Nadya's and a fey who had many questions but divulged little.

    End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T25:
    Blue concentrates carefully this time, and again Moorgram's axe thrums briefly but for his will.

    R2T20: "It is you who should despair of this foolish quest. I didn't realize it before, but you are the Black Rider's heir that we have been hunting," Mierul says as she falls back to the east to a set of double doors, drops her crossbow and then forms a scimitar made of flame.

    R2T19: Moorgram continues around the table and advances onto the stairs. "Listen to the Lady and lay down, or be cast down," he intones as he stares at Mierul, who in turn falls to the ground softly, her flame blade winking out of existence.

    R2T8: Darkhelm takes out her short sword and with a power stroke drops Blue. "The other fey turned invisible."

    R3T19: Moorgram moves to Mierul and begins to look for any potentially weaponizable or magical items. He can't know from magic just from looking, but she does seem to have a fancy entertainer's outfit with a white hood, a very expensive-looking necklace, a coin pouch, an obvious spell component pouch, and several small vials hanging from her belt with little quick-pull string ties. She already dropped her light crossbow, and she doesn't appear with a search to have any weapons hidden, though her nails do appear sharp. The time it took to move to her and search her is all he had, and he didn't have time to actually remove anything yet.

    R3T16: Moorgram feels a sharp pain in his left calf (1) followed by numbing cold that he ignores, and Red-fey is standing at his feet now, having stabbed him with its tiny widdle wapier.

    R3T8: Darkhelm dispatches Blue, but makes a point of showing the soldiers in case anyone tries to think of anything.

    R3T9: Lady Argentea gets into a shield-focused defensive stance but lashes out with a very aggressive strike with her cold iron longsword that does 18, dropping the fey. "Keep focused on her," she says, refocusing on the downed larger fey. "Definitely remove that spell pouch, followed by the liquids."

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R5T19: Moorgram pauses his removal of her gear for a brief moment to let the confused transition from sleeping to wakefulness occur. "Don't waste your life, you have lost, there is no need for your death, too many have died already," he says bitterly as he resumes removing her gear (two more vials removed).

    R5T8: With battle seemingly done, Darkhelm turns to the smaller fey and attempts first aid. It seems she is unsuccessful right now, but ...

    R5T9: .... Lady Argentea remains vigilant as safety cover for Moorgram.

    End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

    R6T20:
    Mierul says, "It is painful, and inconvenient. But death is not the same to fey as it is to a fragile mortal like yourself. But painful and inconvenient enough I shall yield."

    At this point, it is really just a check now to see if the small fey can be stabilized. As it is, it self-stabilizes without Darkhelm's help.

    Surprise Round ...

    S15: Something steps right up to Moorgram and a terrifying supernatural power blooms forth from it, but Moorgram's grit easily overcomes the scare.

    End Surprise Round, Begin Round One ...

    R1T19:
    While not an acrobat, the athletic and agile Darkhelm jumps up onto the dinging room table, crosses, and hops down again between the table and the wall to get a better view of what just sent magic out into the hall. She shoots over Moorgram's head in vain. She is not much of a CQB archer, either.

    R1T15: The creature changes size from something as small as a gnome to a small giant, practically filling the kitchen beyond. It takes out a now giant-sized morningstar.

    R1T14: Lady Argentea sets up her normal defensive patter, gets into a stance and calls out things which keep one's spirit from quailing against fear, and then gives inspiring commands to the group, especially Moorgram.

    R1T3: Moorgram, you hesitated. You had seen a spit-second into the future, but took the wrong path that caused you to hesitate dreadfully. In front of you, flecks of saliva drip from the corners of this filthy and ill-smelling humanoid, and its large, pointed ears twitch at every sound. It had looked like a sickly gnome, but now is about 9' tall, and appears almost feral and alien. What do you do?

    It is a fight. It really is, as the bogey tries to swallow the oncoming yawn the best way it can before it finally succumbs and drops to the floor.

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T17: Not because Darkhelm was at the right angle to see anything, but more out of a slowly-earned training to move if the front-person/ breech-holder (i.e. Moorgram in this case) isn't moving, Darkhelm moves past Moorgram into the room, jumps up on the bed near the pillow by the northern wall, and then calls out while training her crossbow on the possible impostor, "We have a fake Lady Argentea in here! You, impostor, down on the ground."

    R1T10: The faux-lady begins to rush forth towards Moorgram, but not before being shot in the lower left forearm by Darkhelm for 4. The faux-lady Argentea finishes her charge in a Taldan noblewoman's outfit and her fine manicured hands turn to claws that slams into his chain shirt. It might be a fake Lady Argentea, but it definitely seems to have her strength.

    R1T9: Moorgram, you would have gone before her/ its charge, but you followed incorrect lines of possibility in your weird time-vision. You feel adrenaline or something as your muscles surge and bulge. What do you do?

    R1T9: "A bedroom is meant for rest," Moorgram intones as he looks at the fake lady, and takes a step back tightening the grip on his axe and opening up some room to fight. But the fake lady has real grit and is unaffected by the attempt at a quick win on the axe wielder's part.

    R1T8: On hearing there is a fake version of herself, Lady Argentea grits her teeth and steps into the void just created by Moorgram. "Flank her, Darkhelm!" she orders as she gets into a fighting stance and makes a special attack at her double. She soft crits the double in his belly for 24.

    R2T11:
    Darkhelm brilliant somersaults off of the bed while taking out her shortsword and stabs Fake-Lady in her/its back upper left arm for 8.

    R2T10: The Fake-Lady recovers from her initial charge and throws herself at her mirror, the real Lady. Lady Argentea fails to shield block one of the claws that formed on the woman and gets her face scratched for 11.

    R2T9: Moorgram, you gave up your position, and now aren't likely to get into the fray. Your adrenaline continues to kick up, but this time it is less about power and more about reaction time and nerve conduction. What do you do?

    R2T9: Moorgram grits his teeth. "Lay down, or I will end this with my axe," he intones as he focuses on the imposter and draws the new throwing axe he picked up while he holds his greataxe in his off hand.

    The fake lady Argentea falls to the ground. Asleep. The only hint to show that it isn't really Lady Argentea are the weird, supersized clawed fingers at the edge of her hands.

    R2T8: Lady Argentea moves into the room and puts away her sword and shield.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T11:
    Darkhelm tears linens off the bed and post-her turn ties up the impostor.

    No sooner does Moorgram begin moving west than the two statues of ice nymphs come alive. Moorgram is to observant to be surprised, but he doesn't finish his movement as intended.

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T22: Darkhelm shoots Blue right in center mass with the masterwork crossbow for 8 before arcing north and west to the western double doors.

    R1T10: Moorgram lets out a snarl at the suddenly animate statues. Letting out his tension and frustration, he brings up his axe and swings it at the nearest one for 22.

    R1T19: Blue slams Moorgram in the right elbow for 3, and in the head for 8.

    R1T8: Lady Argentea sidesteps northeast, gets into a fighting stance, and gives a heartening war cry.

    R1T7: Red steps forward and crits Moorgram on the top of the head for 13, then swings low to hit him right above his reproductive organs for 8, likely cracking the pubic bone.

    End Round One, Begin Round 7 ...

    R7T22:
    Darkhelm, seeing Moorgram so besieged, draws her short sword while charging Blue, stabbing it for 12.

    R2T10: In pain, Moorgram darts out from between the two statues, bringing his axe around at his previous target. With Lady Argentea's war cry, that is just enough to cause the ice nymph sculpture to shatter!

    R2T8: Lady Argentea steps into the rubble to help screen the badly wounded Moorgram, but her sword only makes a superficial bite against the ice hide.

    R2T7: The ice nymph swings as Lady Argentea actively blocks with her shield, but that only opens her shield arm to get struck with a second slam for 5.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T10: Hoping to end the fight quickly, Moorgram moves around Darkhelm and tries to maneuver behind the statue, swinging his axe with all his might, but finding he went too far north to reach his target.

    R3T8: Lady Argentea sidesteps to the east and strikes for 13.

    R3T7: The ice statue counterattacks the lady, but she catches the first on her shield. While the fist is held up Lady Argentea bites its icy fingers for 3, but then the other slam comes in to strike the lady in the chest for 6.

    R4T10: Moorgram shakes his head, clearly the previous blow was more severe than he realized. With a hard corner, he has to go around to get to where he wanted; as he moves past the nymph hits him in the armor. Moorgram takes up his position and slams his axe against the thing for 13.

    R4T8: With the thing having been pummeled several times, Lady Argentea changes her tactics to defensive, strikes, and destroys the thing, turning it into so much icy rubble.

    It is a very unsettling shriek, and Moorgram almost loses his lunch, but he rallies (without booting).

    R1T24: Moorgram looks at the filthy child thing. "Calm yourself, we mean you no harm. Relax," he intones. The little creature stops its shrieking and gives a yawn that is creepy-adorable, but stays on its misshapen, leg-look parts.

    R1T18: Darkhelm comes in, teping to her friends...

    R1T17: The thing then darts a few feet south with surprising speed. It bites upwards into Moorgram's shoulder for 6, and with little fists swings twice at him, having gone from disgusting-cute to completely terrifying dirt-monster!

    R1T12: "Kill that thing!" commands Lady Argentea. She then begins to give inspiring commands on how best to accomplish that.

    R2T24: While Moorgram disagrees with Lady Argentea on many things, this is not one of them. He shifts his feet and swings his axe at the creature, and it is Lady Argentea's inspiring commands that gives the last needed little bit for his axe to bite the monster for 20.

    R2T18: Darkhelm tepes a classic Skald curse and concentrates. Her dark skin briefly turns darker in response to the flash of light at the "eyes" (like a potato) of the little monster, dazzling the creature and causing it to momentarily recoil.

    R2T17: The dazzled creature swings wildly at Moorgram, and on the final claw attempt, it goes to low at Moorgram and he thumps it in the face with the top of the haft of his axe to daze the creature.

    R2T12: Lady Argentea stops her inspiring commands. She moves around the north instead of trying to fight over a table and strikes against the monster for 19.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...
