OOC:
I was under the impression that was an attack of opportunity.
OOC:
It was not - unless you have a special feat, you get one attack of opportunity per round. Her last attack was an AoO (her actions was unlocking the gate and stepping out, placing her in position to make the AoO). That was during round 1. The enemy hasn't acted in round 2 yet to prompt any attacks of opportunity.
Grim unlocks the cell holding Iosef without issue and the door swings open.

He rushed from the room to the possibly dead patient's side and hissed magic words at the fleeing fiend again, "ደማቅ ጨለማ!"

Again came the flash of light and void of darkness though his smile did not come this time.

"Take this!" he said as he offered the half-shears to the grim man in the hat. "Stop her!"

Whenever you cast an evocation spell, you may select one affected target (creepy doc lady) that fails its save to suffer the choking airlessness of the void, silencing it (as silence, but affecting only the target) for 1 round.

**Round 2**

Razhel rushes forward to exact her anger at the woman and punches her in the base of the skull with incredible fury. The blow lands, causing the woman to stumble and cry out as she lets out a grotesque shriek of pain.

Axon sends up another burst of light in front of the woman's eyes in an effort to disrupt her vision as Grim moves to unlock Iosef's cell. The burst of light again seems to have no affect on her.

The woman throws a look over her shoulder, a mix of both terror and vile hatred as she slips past Elias and Razhel to open the door in front of her.
OOC:
The enemy takes a 5ft step to P8, then opens the door. That's it for round 2, everyone is up!

Clearly the quickest, Rachel squeezes by Elias and confronts the woman as she opens the door, punching her hard in the back and shoving her through the door, to make sure same door can't be closed to prevent her from following.

hoping to give Elias space to get in and attack.

OOC:
@ Rage - you can move then attack, or move then bull rush to push her, but not both. With your roll, you would be successful with either. The bull rush would provoke an attack of opportunity. Alternatively, as part of your movement, you could attempt an Acrobatics check to tumble through the enemy's space (moving to Q8) but the DC would be 25 and if it fails you provoke an attack of opportunity - you'd still get your attack though. Let me know which route you prefer to go.

Also - nice job with the punches! She keeps landing some serious Mike Tyson moves :D

OOC:
With Razhel's Unarmed Combatant Feat she doesn't provoke AoOs when in melee. She'll go for the damage.

It took him a moment to come to his senses once again, and he realizes that his cell is now open. Not one for engaging in melee, he figures he could be of better use looking for something else. A way out, some real weapons, anything! He decides to start with that large trunk he caught a glimpse of, at the other end of the hall, and quickly squeezes by the man shooting lights at their opponent.
"Excuse me." he mutters to the man.
OOC:
Double move to D5

Elias follows the female as she tries to escape. Committed to bringing the murderer to justice...however that may be, he continues his attack.

Elias will move to O8 and continue to attack the female.

Sure, no problem
Elias follows the female as she tries to escape. Committed to bringing the murderer to justice...however that may be, Elias follows ger into the next room.
OOC:
Judging from the map, if O8 is occupied, Elias will stay in his current square. When a chance to follow opens up, Elias will head into the next room. If I can hold his attack I will, if not I'll roll again.

Can you point me to the source for the Unarmed Combatant feat? It seems clear from the text on your character sheet that it was developed, but I am having a hard time finding it referenced anywhere online. Thanks!
OOC:
Its a new Feat listed in the Feat Tax Document you linked in the Character Creation thread.

Grim accepts the shear blade from the sorcerer and moves up beside the man (N7) following the two women into the narrow hallway. He wonders many things. 'Where are we? How long have I been here? Who are these people?'

With the blade in the hands of someone better able to use it, he rushed after the fleeing woman. Was she immune to his trick of light and shadow or merely resistant? He had to try again!

"ደማቅ ጨለማ!"

The woman takes another severe beating, this time the base of her spine. She yelps in pain as another flash of light bursts before her eyes. This time she shakes her head furiously and yells, "Stop that!" She then pushes through the doorway and takes a left turn in full withdrawal from her skirmish with your group. Having been ready for such a thing, Elias launches himself forward and chases after the woman, but when he rounds the corner he finds that she is gone.

The room Elias steps into is a cellar of sorts. A broad chute extends diagonally through one of the room's half-crumbled stone walls. Beneath it lies heaped more than a dozen mutilated humanoid bodies. Nearby, a flight of rickety wooden steps climbs toward the high ceiling - an escape none of the room's current occupants seem capable of employing. The smell of rot and decay in the room is nearly overwhelming, and the buzz of flies hangs in the air.

As the others watch the violence unfold, Iosef moves over to the table in the north-west corner of the room. Upon it, laid half-hazard and in disarray, are a number of items that look of particular value or importance. Among them are Iosef's occult grimoire and his gold-painted ankh.
OOC:
The others will find the following on this table:

Grim: Harrow Deck
Razhel: Masterwork Studded Leather armor
Elias: Chainmail, Signet Ring
Axon: his favorite thing - the nothingness that exists between all things
South of Iosef, he can now more clearly see a part of the room that was previously out of sight.

A cold, iron furnace hunks in the corner of the basement, its four-foot-square door gaping half open. Nearby sprawls a heap of gory clothes and other dubiously flammable trash.

Elias fights the feeling of revulsion as he stands in the room. Looking around he tries to figure out how the female disappeared.

Looking over his shoulder he warns the others..She's gone...disappeared somehow. Be careful if you come in here.
OOC:
Elias will initially move to R8. Then he'll try and search the room...looking for how the female escaped and anything of value in the room.

Directly on the woman's heels through the door, Razhel quickly glances about the revealed chamber for signs of where the woman has vanished. Barring perceiving her hiding in the shadows or lurking in the piles of bodies, the slayer thinks the obvious and rushes across the room to check the body chute for signs of an escape.

"I believe I have located some of our more important belongings!" he calls to the others as he gathers his things, "although, where the rest might be, I cannot say..." His voice trails off as his attention shifts to the furnace's open door, and his curiosity draws him in that direction.
OOC:
Iosef moves to the furnace to get a closer look.

Elias and Razhel rush into the eastern room following the fleeing woman. Seeing no immediate signs of her they each search the room.

Razhel rushes immediately towards the chute, quickly surmising it as the most likely source of escape. Despite the fact that the chute's lowest point is 8 feet off the floor, the bodies heaped beneath make convenient -if morbid- stairs. She climbs to the top of the heap of bodies easily enough and looked up the chute's approximate 15-foot length to the top, where she sees the fleeting shadow of a figure escaping through an open metal hatch at the top end. At her feet, Razhel notes the bloodied half-shears the "doctor" had been carried now lies between a couple of the corpses.
OOC:
Razhel to please make a Fortitude save in your next post
Elias similarly checks the area around the bodies and finds it notable that many of them are wearing the same thing: a plain, white uniform that buttons in the front, just like the woman you chased into this room a moment prior.

C1NDER sent a note to Squadfather44
To those in this room, the smell of rot continues to invade your senses.

As Iosef gets closer to the furnace, he finds that it is not currently lit and is quite cold. Several pieces of gear and equipment are thrown haphazardly around in a make-shift garbage pile near the furnace. He approaches and looks inside the open door and quickly identifies several scorched humanoid bones amid the ashes, easily from a half-dozen bodies.
OOC:
Iosef - a perception check please.

Everyone - this is where the rest of your gear has been placed. Each of you can come to this 'garbage' pile in front of the furnace and claim your basic equipment. Between this and the table at the north end of the room, all of your starting gear is accounted for.
