Kin
Your training in the Veiled Moon discipline, gave you just enough time to react even though the beams were literally only a few inches away from impacting. You focused as reality seemed to cave in around you, and soon enough you found yourself 10 ft. away, appearing right next to the so-called 'Ana', leaving behind an afterimage that the woman's spells pierced through, but with no damage to you.

[Xantaeus Aldorn]

"Friend of heathens, consorters of demons! Ye who have strayed from the most righteous of paths. To lay a hand on the anointed ones, bear the wrath from the servant of god."

Roll knowledge (martial) to identify.

Ryine to take AoO vs Winged Man.

[Throndir]

Ryine
Your attack missed, just barely with your sword catching the man at an awkward angle, causing the sword to bounce.

The winged man continued his charge, attacking Kin. He had a wide grin on his bespeckled face as his scimitar managed to dig into Kin's back. Though the halfling was blurred, the Winged Man's attack still struck true. The weapon sliced in deep, the winged man hiding a surprising amount of strength in his blow.

Winged Man deals 16 damage to Kin.

Ryine let out a beast-like howl as the winged man slipped past his blow and dug his blade into Kin. Letting an ally come into harms way, even one as boisterous and sturdy as Kin was unacceptable to him. With renewed vigor, he charged after the winged man, determined to land a blow.

Ryine charges after the Winged man, ideally in a position to flank with Kin.

Charge attack roll: 2 bonus from charge, 2 bonus from flanking.

Ryine
The blow landed and you were satisfied as you managed to land your attack on the man's back. You felt the impact of solid metal underneath, but you felt his armor bend from your blow, with the shock of the blunt trauma enough to make the winged man cough a spurt of blood. You also see what looked to be another person, garbed in black with white hair near the crystal.

"Ack!" Kin grunts as he's hit from behind. "Why me!? You've got another man with a giant sword in front of you!" Still, the strike did not change what the halfling was determined to do. Ignoring the winged man once more, Kin rolled to the side and leapt forward, raising his blade. Though it pained him to confront who he still believed to be Ana, in some form, he could not hesitate to defend this item based on what Arelia had said.

"Drop that!" He shouted as his greatsword swung down toward Ana's grip on the Galas'nor sword.

Tumbling to avoid AoO caused from disarm (getting out of threat range of Xantaeus). Avoiding using immediate action so I can counter next round. Need to roll for tumble acrobatics check, and two acrobatics to avoid AoO for moving in threatened squares.

Then attacking with a Disarm, provoking AoO from Ana.

Checks in next post.

Acrobatics to successfully tumble past Ana:  1d20+17 : 14 + 17, total 31

Acrobatics vs Xantaeus to tumble past:  1d20+17 : 1 + 17, total 18

Attack to disarm (combat maneuver) Ana:  1d20+12 : 15 + 12, total 27

If disarm succeeds, and I don't need to use karma for it, Kin will use Karma to gain an extra turn to retrieve the sword of Galas'nor. (I THINK I'm able)

[Linwelin]

WHY DO I ALWAYS ROLL 1s!!!! D:

...Karma.

Acrobatics vs Xantaeus:  1d20+17 : 3 + 17, total 20

[Xantaeus Aldorn]

You followed through with your attempt to disarm the supposed Ana however. As you neared her, she attempted to swing with the weapon she now held in her hands. However, her attack was clumsy, and though the Sword of Galas'nor would have been a dangerous weapon in the right hands, when she swung, she missed completely. Using that momentum, you reached out with your weapon, striking just so, and soon enough the sword fell to the ground; the disarm successful.

[Fallacia]

Seeing the weapon fall down, the girl started to pick up the weapon, leaving an opening for Kin to take.

Prepare for AoO chaos! Kin is going to trip as in place of his attack for the Attack of Opportunity, which in-turn provokes an attack of opportunity from Fallacia. She's unarmed, though, I don't think she CAN AoO?

Seeing 'Ana' go directly for the sword, Kin springs forward, watching his distance related to the angel, and attempts to trip the woman before him. "No you don't!" The halfling whips out the back side of his blade, striking at 'Ana's' legs to knock her prone.
