Mordiun didn't notice the snake missing him this time as he was still shaken by Axara's hold person spell for a second i thought she was revering to him.
The dwarf wasn't sure any more who revered to him as an allie. But for now he still knew who his enemies where.
He swing at his nearest enemy target.

Maesyn moves strategically to flank DS1 and hit the helpless woman and hurt her. He sees her hatred in her eyes.
Savin ignore Axara calls to kill Lady Arthas and instead attack the displacer serpent. Somehow, at the last second the snake avoid the killing blow.
Ryxikor also ignores Axara’s call for kill and decides to finish the serpent. Somehow both of his deadly attempts miss the mark.
Axara shouts ‘Why aren’t you finishing her. If she breaks my spell, we will be in big trouble! ’ She is irate that only Maesyn understood the importance of the situation. She moves next to Lady Arthas (in K1) and attack her with her mace. She does however little damages to the Shar priestess.
Mordiun, also ignores Axara’s request and tries to finish the serpent. However, like Savin and Ryxikor before him, he fails in his attempt to kill the magical creature.
The snake who survive 5 deadly attacks is incapable however to bite Mordiun.
Lady Arthas somehow is incapable of to break Axara’s spell on her.
Axara breathes in relief Mystra has given us a second chance. Let’s finish her!

Axara shouts ‘She is evil! We need to eliminate her before she regains her powers! ’ She tries to crush the skull of the cleric of Shar but her armor protects her.
Mordiun, moves away from the serpent (in K2) and hit Lady Arthas with both axe and mace.
The cleric of Shar is bloodied but still breathing and full of hatred for the group.
The snake attacks Ryxikor now that Mordiun has moved away. However, the snake fangs are no match for the elf’s defense.
Lady Arthas finally breaks the hold that Axara’s spell had on her. Time to die, Mystran!. She starts casting her spell defensively. The blank symbol around her neck starts shining and evil light as she touches Axara. As she poses her hand on the cleric of Mystra, wounds starts opening on Axara.

Ryxikor hits the serpent back but without the flanking help of Maesyn, he is cannot hit the serpent vital organs.
Axara, knowing that he life is on the line, moves back (to H5). This gives Lady Arthas an opportunity to attack Axara by the Sharrite fails in her attempt to down the Mystran.
Axara then start an incantation and touches her faces (cast CLW and drops obscuring mist).
Spoiler
Axara: +11HP – Currently at 15/25
Mordiun, moves where Axara was to flank Lady Arthas and swings both weapons at the cleric. However, his magical axe scratches the wall, erasing some of the mark from his previous deity allegiance. The surprise is too much for the dwarf who as a result barely misses her with his mace.
The snake now have new play mate and attacks Ryxikor. This time the elf is ready and avoid the fangs.
Lady Arthas moves 5 step and starts casting her spell defensively. The blank symbol around her neck starts shining and evil light as she touches her wounds. A lot of them heal.

Mordium almost start to panic as it's magical axe got scratched.
The dwarf looks around quickly a avatar of Shar and it's near healed priestess.
The poor dwarf chuckles things aren't bad. To him things haven't changed at all. filled with dread he steps next to Arthas it's axe aimed on her face to repay her for ruining a dwarven symbol.
Maesyn moves 5 steps flanking Lady Arthas with Savin and allowing Ryxikor to flank the displacer serpent. He readies his rapier, waiting to strike for when Arthas stats her new incantation.
Savin unleashes his spike chain and would have hit any other opponent but that displacer snake.
Ryxikor makes a 5 steps move to use Maesyn distraction on the snake. Although his digger is small and people might call it puny, the expert elf finds a small weakness in the serpent skin which allows Ryxikor to split the snake throat open, killing it instantly.
Axara, realizes that there is some hesitation in her new team members. She decides to boost their morale using Mystra’s help. She cast a spell that make everyone feel more confident.

Mordiun, slides 5 feet and attack Lady Arthas. With his sudden regain of confidence, he barely misses the cleric of Shar’s head with both his axe and his mace.

Axara: +1 Attack and Fear Save effect : 1/40
Maesyn ignores the impotent insults... nothing worse than he'd overheard in the taverns of Evereska or Arabel. But he finds himself overmatched physically, and he has little choice but to retreat. His rapier was barely scratching the woman's armor, and her spells of harm were potent.
He heads into the woman's quarters, intent on finding some item of power that might turn the tide of battle.
Full-round action: Withdraw to F6. First square of movement does not draw AoOs.
Maesyn Silverhair

Reason: Replace double move with Withdraw action
With both of his weapons being short and light weight, Ryx moves one of his daggers to his other hand and grabs another vial off of his bandoleer, as he moves around the corner, a little closer to the Sharian priestess. He works the stopper off with his thumb, downing the contents in a few quick gulps, healing some of the bleeding wounds caused by the now dead serpent.
HP: 13/24
AC: AC: 19, 21 vs AT (17 +2 protection from evil, +2 twin sword style)
free action: grab both daggers with one hand
move action: move 15' to H1, grab vial
standard action: drink healing potion
CLW: (1d8+3)[5]
Now with his senses back to reality. Moradin gambles that the Shar prietress is out of potent spells. He tries to force the attention on him instead of the more wounded bard and cleric. As he starts the insult where Arthas let of.
"Though talk for a lady that can only use "the sacred trust" to find love.
Not that surprising as I fought Aberrations more attractive then you!"
He then attacks
Spoiler
AC 20 (including dodge feat and fighting defensively )
Hp: 10/29 (i am going to regret this)
Reminder (1d20+4)[3](7) so that is a lowly 3 (1d10+3)[9]
Light Mace (1d20+4)[3](7) and another lowly 3 we have twins (1d6+1)[2]
edit:dit the post makes more sense you don't volunteer to be a punching back without having a defence up.

Maesyn realizes that Lady Arthas spells are quite potent and he knows he is on the brink. He withdraws safely inside the cleric of Shar’s quarters.
Spoiler
Savin does not have the -1 from Doom – Axara bless spell cancelled it
Savin decides to even the odd and trips Lady Arthas. The woman is not strong enough to resist the enlarged fighter. Arthas is now prone. (AC 17 until she gets up). The hit should be easy but for some reason, Savin misses the woman.
Spoiler
Ryxikor cannot reach H1 from H3 as a 5 step move. I put him in H2
Ryxikor makes a 5 steps move, pulls up a vial and drinks and healing potion.
Spoiler
Ryxikor: +5HP – Currently at 20/24
Axara, does a quick evaluation of the injuries and the one who is the most hurt, Maesyn, is too far from her to reach him. She also sees the prone Lady Arthas and cannot resist. She knows the Sharrrite will enjoy inflicting pain on her. She moves to I2 and attack the prone Arthas. She hits the woman through the armor, inflicting some pain on the worshipper of her Goddess worst’s enemy.
Mordiun courageously attacks Lady Arthas while insulting her. However, neither of his weapons can hit the woman.
As Lady Arthas is on the ground, she has a quick choice to make. Does she get up and give a chance to these infidels to hit her? Or does she casts defensively prone? It will be harder but if she can keep her concentration, all she has to do is touch one of these enemies. She starts her incantation but being in the situation she is, she cannot maintain and the spell fizzles. She might need to get up and take the hit.

Ryx, seeing the Sarian preistess as an easy target at the moment, drops the empty vial, grabs his daggers in each hand, and attacks the evil cleric, searching out the exposed joints of her plate mail.

As Savins chain flies overhead Mordiun missing it's target terribly is tempted to give the warrior a peace of his mind on where he could stick that big chain of his. But pressing matters and decides to keep it more civil. "Just ask when we should make an opening big guy!"
Hoping he could get the Sharian priestess mad enough to make mistakes. He takes his usual defensive position and slings some more taunts toward her.
"Speaking about Aberrations, your sure your not related to one? As you have quite some quirks of your grandparents."
The dwarf smiles as he makes another attempt with his axe and mace.
<ooc: if possible the next part is for the AoO>
"Eyes that could frighten children--" the dwarf face turns into disgust "--and a breath that could turn a grown man to stone"
