Richter's Revenge - combat round 1 results

Baleon steels himself and listens for the sound of the guards trying to cross the columns

ready action to cast darkness if someone moves into chasm

But Richter completes his spell, and a blazing ball of flames appears out of nothing to Baleon's left.   It proceeds to roll forward and swing sharply up the dias and into Baleon and Trik's refuge behind the thrones.  Baleon vaults away instinctively as it crashes towards him. . .

Richter casts flaming sphere in N6 as standard action then spends move action to move it across the back of the thrones, but it stops when it reaches Baleon in O5
Baleon reflex save (roll 13)+8+2 (for cover) = 23 vs DC 17 = success, no damage

. . . and finds himself exposed to the crossbows of the two guards, who waste no time firing on him, and though he drops to a low rolling crouch , one of their bolts still grazes his shoulder, drawing blood.

Guards attack (roll 11, 17)+2 vs AC 18 = 1 hit.  1d8 dmg ( roll 2) = 2 HP dmg

Meanwhile, Trik swears and staggers back from the flaming sphere as well.  He casts a spell of his own and disappears from sight.

Trik casts invisibility and moves to K2
