Roll initiative!

...and cue the heroic music! :) Battle is joined in earnest and all the protagonists are in the same scene for the first time! Yay! It only took, what... two years? :)

Anyway, someone on Websnark once commented that it would be nice to have some d20 interpretation of what is going on in the comic, so... here it is!

Last page, the demonspawn is out of actions when Niriko arrives on the scene, but he notices her and is very obvious it's going to attack her. Just to be clear, I'm using a house rule me and my friends use in our D&D games where we roll initiative at the beginning of every round.

Next round.

Eclipse wins initiative. She uses a Moonshade tattoo power that grants her something similar to the Shadow Jump ability from the Shadow Dancer prestige class. She attacks the demonspawn and hits (not a full attack; that double strike is only artistic license :) ).

Next in the initiative count is Larriki. He uses a move action to swoop down and uses holy smite to lay down some hurt on the demonspawn. The demonspawn is blinded, which can't be good for its health if the party's rogue (Yanti) is yet to take his turn...
