Richter's Revenge rounds 4-5

Baleon feels the magic that keeps him invisible begin to ebb, and he focuses his ki to renew it.  He leaps to the other side of the chasm and stalks stealthily towards his foes.

swift action: spend ki point to activate invisibility trick for 3 more rounds. 
move action:  jump to C8, stealth move to B6 ( A6 is a solid stone wall - see comments in previous post)
standard action:  hold

Richter and the guards look around from side to side, searching for signs of their quarry.  "You won't get past us Arzen!" yells Richter.  To his men: "Draw your swords and form up."  The guards dutifully obey, dropping their crossbows and drawing swords and sturdy steel shields as Richter backs into the entry way.

Richter:  5' step to A4, ready action to cast spell at anyone who appears out of thin air.

Trik:  hold

Guards:  switch weapons

Baleon scowls as Richter (his prey... who was hunting who here?) disappears behind a wall of swords and shields, and decides that there will be no better time to strike.  He drives forward with the speed of a striking viper.  The guard, already wary spins around with admirable speed as the elf seems to materialize out of thin air, but cannot raise his heavy shield in time to meet Baleon's attack and his blade sinks deep into the man's side, punching through chain, bone and muscle with equal ease.  But Richter clearly hired tough men for this job, and the wounded guard shoves himself free and struggles to return Baleon's blow.

Baleon full attack vs flat footed AC:  1d20(roll 15)+7 = hit.  Dmg 1d6+1+2d6 (roll 2,6,3) = 12HP

Richter sees Baleon materliaze.  He hardly notices the grisly wound his man takes at the point of Baleon's sword as he cries out, "Now you're mine elf!"  Richter casts a qick spell and a pair of magical darts arc up over the guard's head and crash down upon Baleon, burning him.  Baleon grunts in pain.

Richter standard action casts magic missile:  auto hit dmg 2d4+2 (roll 1,2) = 5 HP.  11/18 remaining

Trik materializes beside the other guard moments later, a short sword raised in each hand and strikes down.  His opponent manages to block one strike on his shield, but Trik's other blade darts over his defences and tears a blood gash in his cheek.

Trik 5' step from B2, full attack w/ two short swords vs flat footed AC: 1d20 ( roll 9, 17)+4+1 (divine favour) = 1 Hit.  20% miss chance from darkness ( roll 33) = hit.  Dmg 1d6 (roll 5)+1+1 (divine favour) = 7HP.

The guards manage to find their footing and fight back to back against their stealthy assailants.  The guard facing Trik stabs back at the wily cleric, and seems to strike true, but Trik's image melts away, merely an illusion, and the real Trik steps forward to take another swing at the confused guard.  The second guards swings repeatedly at Baleon, but the drow fades in and out of the darkness, evading the man's every blow.

Guard1 attacks Trik:1d20 (roll 16)+5 = hit.  20% miss chance from darkness (roll 50) = hit.  Copycat 50% hit mirror image (roll 08) = miss, mirror image dispelled.

Guard2 attacks Baleon: 1d20+5 (roll 15) = hit.  20% miss chance ( roll 14) = miss

(Baleon's AC is 18, not 15)

Baleon moves to C5, into the Darkness, and strikes again with his short sword.

(roll 15)+5 = 20 = hit vs AC 18

I was just getting lazy in my notation.

Um...is he dead? Did I do damage? Since he can't see me does it deal sneak attack damage?
