Sconces starts to growl. Before you can open the door, it is opened for you. Standing in the doorway, with gleaming plate mail and shield, and full helm, is a sword-armed figure. "The toll to pass is one magic weapon", he says, in a menacing and deep voice

Maloof tightens his grip on his mace, ready for some clobberin'.

OOC: Grampus has Eyes of Charming and Aldbane has Hold Person memorised. Just sayin'.

Aldbane wastes no time with words, casting hold person on the fighter.

OOC: Good idea!

Aldbane tries to Hold the figure with a spell, but he resists. The stranger snarls and screams out "You will now all die at the hands of Breithaupt the Corrupt!"

It looks like Rhod and Grampus will bear the brunt of his attack. We have yet to roll initiative, but any other actions by the rest of the party?

Franklin has his precious magic sword in hand (not paying that "toll," thank you very much) and will attack if he gets the opportunity.

Aldbane will move forward to attack the fighter with his hammer next round, or when he gets a chance.

The front-liners should back up a bit to let us surround this buffoon. Once this occurs, Maloof will circle around to the flank and lay into him with his mace.

Rhod has a magic sword. He'll use it to attack, instead of paying it as toll.

Wiglaff, unarmoured, stays back, keeping an eye on the doors, but he orders Wodan, Ivar, and Sigmund to spear the enemy if they can.

Breithaupt attacks Rhod, and the first exchange is indecisive
