1.2 Descent to the Sewers

Without hesitating, Rufio drops to the floor and charges guard 1, barreling into his chest with a shoulder barge and toppling the surprised guard. Alanya emerges next, dropping nimbly to the ground and weaving a quick spell. (Ooc: both guards are affected by bane).

Feylinde only has time to crawl forward and drop from the alcove.

All the others start to crawl rapidly along the passage. With the extra effort they manage to crawl 1/3 of the distance.

Round 2

Guard 1 staggers to his feet, and jabs at Rufio with his spear. The spear is targeted directly at Rufio's chest but somehow veers to the side, missing him. The guard looks perplexed.
Guard 2 charges Alanya, but she is not so lucky... The spear strikes true (6 damage).

Rufio, Alanya and Feylinde may act.

Round 2 - Continued

There is no doubt that the guards are getting the better of this combat. Heaven only knows what a bunch of kids are doing here, but orders are orders, and none shall pass.

Rufio kicks out at one of the guards, but fails to make contact. Feylinde then casts a bolt of fire, but the aim is off, and the guard steps nimbly to one side. Alanya then casts her vicious mockery.... Guard 1 looks horribly offended.

Meanwhile the rest of the orphans make their way along the passage, now two thirds of the way. The light can be seen at the end of the tunnel, and certainly next round they will arrive. Weylan, however, finds the passage little in the way of a hindrance, and sprints along the tunnel. He leaps into the room.

(Ooc: Weylan, you join the initiative at the end of the order)

Guard 1 - 1 damage
Guard 2 - 0 damage

Round 3

The guards are gaining the upper hand. Guard 1 attacks Rufio, and Guard 2 attacks Alanya, both of whom have been injured.

Guard 1 jabs at Rufio with his spear, but the pointed stick misses it's mark as Rufio nimbly moves away.
(Guard 1 had disadvantage, but he missed anyway)
Guard 2 jabs at Alanya. The squishy bard is stabbed again, taking 3 damage.

Rufio, Alanya, Feylinde and Weylan may now act.

Seneia keeps crawling forward as fast as possible, watching Weylan jump into the fray and wondering what is ahead.

OOC: Does the monk movement speed of 40 feet/round help navigating the crawl space in any way?

DM says: the corridor is 150' long. I am assuming everyone is moving twice per round at half speed, meaning normal speed per round. I am then rounding everyone to pass through in 3 rounds at my discretion (i.e. Allowing a speed boost due to the emergency). So even Seneia doesn't get there quicker than anyone else. As Weylan can run I've allowed him to arrive one round earlier. It doesn't work out mathematically, but makes sense in the context.

Round 3 continued

Desperation can yield remarkable feats of strength, and so it is with Rufio. He sees the trained guards are gaining an advantage and hurls a punch at guard 1 with reckless abandon. His solid fist connects soundly with the guard's jaw. The guard's eyes roll to the back of his head and he slumps to the ground.

Alanya casts a spell targeted at guard 2. The guard grips his head as pain wracks his brain.

Before the guard 2 can recover, Weylan appears from nowhere and slams into the man, killing him instantly.

Suddenly the battle is over. Both Rufio and Alanya have been injured, and there are two dead guards in the room.

End of round 3. End of combat.

Combat over. Actions please.

The combined wrecking crew of the shockingly berserk Rufio and Weylan has definitely killed the two guards. They seem completely lifeless.
