Round 1: The party wins initiative.
The gholle are obviously completely surprised by your sudden appearance, giving Ivid the chance to successfully run past them and into the adjacent corridor. Elmo and Eilkhan retreat towards the walls, the thief noticing that her magical ring does his job because the two gholle nearby turn to Elmo and Sol instead, obviously ignoring her.
Drawing Tizona, whose flames flicker brightly along its blade, Sol moves forward to attack the nearest gholle. The power of his sword cuts easily through the defenses of the undead creature, badly wounding it (33 hps).
Finally, the gholle awake from their state of surprise and attack themselves. Howling with hunger and fury, three of them (#1,5, and 6) attack Sol, while two (#2 and 3) close in on Elmo. The sixth (#4) gholle starts following Ivid.
Sol, being shieldless and with way less protection than he needs in this dangerous situation, has no chance of holding his position. All three gholle are successful with their attacks, tearing, rending and biting at the brave warrior for a total of 78 points of damage, nearly tearing him to pieces. OOC: Since Sol only had 70 hps left from the last battle, this means that he's down to -8 and only 2 hps away from death. Please see the posting that I've added to the house rules thread.
Although he's still lightly dressed, his shield and armor protect him from the attacks of the two gholle, and Elmo is only hit twice by claw and fang for a total of 11 points of damage.
Then Gaderon, Ahi, and Kherim appear in the room.
OOC: The stench of the gholle now makes a ST vs poison necessary from everyone. Please include one in your die rolls.
