Center Ulrich ducked under the incoming hammer swing, a little sloppily for his liking. He swung with his gauntleted hand to strike at his attacker's ribs, not trusting he would have time enough to draw his blade just yet.[1]
Center Having landed on his feet near some enemy forces, Juris bolted forward. Still low to the ground, he charged at one of the elves and threw two punches at the swordsman. One aimed at his lower abdomen and the other aimed to hit his right side.

**Nadim shrugged, brought his left index and middle finger to his lips, kissed them, then raised them to the sky, looking up and smiling. With that he hefts his cane in his free hand, looks about for an opponent and picks one of Arl's quartet. He whips his lash at the elf's neck, hoping to wrap around his throat or knock him senseless.**

**Grehym cursed as his thrust glanced off the armor, but using the opening Arro afforded him to regain his equilibrium, he deftly pivoted as to go back towards the unbalanced guard, down slashing a strike right for his foe's neck.**
Eizen's monkeys climbed their way towards the barricade top with impressive feats acrobatics, only to be swept away by some polearms.
Magnus and Bleu were more than halfway through the barricade. They could already see through to the other side.
West
Sling's shot did not pierce the armor, though the magnitude of the blow sent the elf's leg flying from beneath him and he toppled over.
Seeing Arro's shot coming, the guard managed to avoid the arrow with a quick dodge to his rear and right. Unfortunate for him, the motion threw him over the barricade's edge and back down to the ground below. The other guard snatched a bow from somewhere and began returning fire on Arro.
With a mighty blow Lumarin burst through the remaining barricade, sending splinters of wood flying in all directions. He found four guards waiting for him, polearms at the ready. A fifth lay on the ground, unconscious.
Llwyd cut through the guard's neck, embedding itself half way through the elf's collarbone. The guard's expression went blank, and he retaliated with a cough of blood that splattered across Grehym's leathered surcoat.
Center
Doc found Alec at the feet of a large elf. He wore the common bronze helm and chestplate of the Jade Guard, but was armed with nothing other than a pair of bronze gauntlets aglow with auroral colors. He smiled at Doc with a crack of his knuckles. As Alec regained his focus, he realized the large elf's blow knocked him towards his displaced sword.
Bree's defensive stance went unnoticed as Juris charged one of the swordsman. The elf knocked Juris's first blow aside with the hilt of his sword, but the second punch took him right below the armor. He cringed, but responded with an elbow at Juris's face. The other three guards began to close in on him.
Ulrich's strike did little as the guard's ribs were hidden behind a bronze cuirass. The guard brought his hammer down, hilt first, towards Ulrich's head.
The refolding of the swords took too long, and she landed before the halberd's completion. Fortunately, the sight of a little girl with paper swords gliding through the air left the elves watching in confusion. A moment later one of them gave a hampered scream as Nadim's whip wrapped itself around his throat, snatching the other guards' attention with it.
Sum'eras sword dug through the guard's flesh, bringing him to the ground. He swung his own sword around at her as he fell.
Colt had a variety of targets from which to choose: halberdiers and swordsman were common.
Gerr, now just beyond reach of their attacks and conveniently in range for his bow, pulls out his second hand bow and sends 3 more bolts their direction. Bolt one aimed at the knee of the gentlemen on the right, bolt 2 at the knee on man number two and bolt number 3 at the face of man on the right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Center
Doc clenches his gloved fist. Unnatural anger flowing through him. Doc puts the bottle in his pocket and pulls out his mace in his left hand. He charges the elf, using the mace as an unexpected projectile just before reaching the elf doc hopes this creates enough of a detraction for doc to plunge his hand into the elfs upper leg claws first. Angry and crazy enough to attempt to rip out his thigh muscles.
Eizen summons and flings a monkey at one of the soldiers, creating the sphere of darkness over his target after Gerr fires.

Arl pulls the tip of her newly formed halberd out of the ground and silently (relative to the battle) charges the quartet, intent on stabbing the closest unarmored bit 'o soldier she can reach. She maintains Paper Knight as she does so. [43]
Arro ducked under the debris to dodge the swordsmans non sword attack, nocked an arrow, and leapt back out from his hiding space at a right angle and fired on the spot the swordsman used to be.

**Lumarin pull his lawgiver baton with his free hand and slowly approached the waiting guards, arcs of damaging light dancing over the head of his hammer like electricity.**
Lumarin - I wish no harm upon you, but I shall not be deterred from my path. I come not as a conqueror or pillager but as champion for the displaced, and I bare no ill will. Lay down thy arms and I will do you no harm. Insist upon violence and I will visit same upon you with no hesitation and relentless fury.

Center Juris, using his low body position, rolled away from the incoming elbow toward the three approaching guards. He then grabbed his earth mage's dagger and slashed in a wide arc aiming at the elves' ankles.
Center
Sum'era easily blocks the awkward swing with her shield pulling her sword back as she does so. She let out a fierce yell as she swung her sword at the downed man's neck, attempting to separate his head from his shoulders.
**Alec flung out his left arm to retrieve his sword, while his right hand, still electrified, latched itself upon the elf's ankle.**

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
West Sling re-holstered his weapon as he lashed out with a kick to the guard's neck, hoping to knock him out with a rush of blood from the carotid.
Center Ulrich mentally cursed himself as the shaft of the weapon cracked into his forehead, sending him stumbling back like a drunk. With a scowl he shook his head and drew his blade, waiting for the elf to make another move.[2]
Bleu surged with even more furvor to take down this barrier at the sign of light. She tore at the structure with a gleam in her eye. Maintaining srengthen and tint.
Between the immediacy of the three shots and the dawn's darkness, of the bolts shot at the elf on the right, the shot at the head missed completely while the other took him in the crotch rather than in the knee. The elf buckled backwards, shouting out some name. The other elf was hit right off the knee, but the crossbow's powerful shot pierced through the elf's rusted armor and into his lower thy. Reaching down to tend to his wound, he was taken by surprise as the world went dark around him and what could only be a rabid monkey hitting him the chest.
At the shout of the first elf, another guardsman pulled up at their side, swinging down at Gerr with a halberd that seemed to him to be of exceptional length, and still growing longer...
Magnus and Bleu finally made their way to the other side. Their subtle methods didn't attract the attention of any guards yet.
West
Arro's shot missed, the archer on the barricade hiding himself when not loosing an arrow.
Surprisingly, one of the guards facing Lumarin motioned the others to hold. "Displaced? They displaced themselves when coming to Greevan. They were occupying our land without right, and we cast them out. I will offer you the same: Lay down your arms, and we will bring no harm upon you."
Sling's kick to the guard's neck sounded with a harsh crunch.
Center
The brutal looking elf knocked away Doc's mace throw with one hand and met the man head on. Doc's claws dug into the elf's thigh, though not as deep as he wanted, and the elf ignored it completely as he punched at Doc's chest. The punch felt as though he was hit by a ram, and when Doc came to his senses he found himself five feet from where he last was. The elf's smile faded with Alec's electrified grab and he fell into a kneeling position.
The elf that Arl charged parried her polearm aside with his own. He thrust forward with the polearm towards Arl's face. With the whipped guard on his back and struggling with the whip, the two remaining elves turned to face Nadim. The color faded from the face of one and he quickly turned to run, and Nadim felt a quick moment of pride before Colt's ferocious charge overtook his own. The remaining guard braced for impact.
Bree's katar slipped between the pieces of the guard's breastplate and plunged into his ribs. He fell to the ground all acripple. Juris's slash was dodged by the first guard but embedded itself in an ankle of the second. The last guard and the one that dodged both swung down at him with their bastardswords.
The elf rolled onto his side with haste and barely blocked Sum'era's blow with his sword.
Ulrich's hammer-wielding elf moved in with another bash at the kindir's head.
Center
Sum'era slammed her shield down hard on the man's wrist attempting to pin his arm down long enough for her to slide her sword in between his armor and his helm and into his throat.
