Maruc realised the Feldard would swiftly require more healing and sommoned Halav to bless the dwarf once again with renew’d vigour. “Nicolai, in your opinion can we afford to spend another half-night resting ourselves or not?”
Feldard kept his grumbles to himself at the familiar feel of the prayer. Mentally he noted, ‘I should consider paying the cleric service fees! It seems I’m the only one that require use of him!’ It was not a pleasant revelation.
The dwarf looked around, noting Saeth was not present. He frowned and stood, wincing slightly as freshly healed wounds protested the movement. “While resting, is definately needed. I doubt there is a safe enough location to do so until the Rahib has been killed. Where’s the elf?”
“Praying?” Miklos replied trying to keep the smile from his face.
As if on cue, Saeth rejoined the group. She had been talking to Miklos in the chamber, and then turned to see he was no longer there. The statue had made no move to follow her or take any other action while she was in the temple.
Nicolai says, “No we cannot wait out the night, the Rahib is not working for Dentiata any more, and has awoken something here, that would appear to be his new masters.”
Nicolai was about to relate what he was doing since their parting of ways, when suddenly from down the hall, they suddenly heard the marching sounds of the Siswa. They were hot on the trail of the temple intruders, and, waving their scimitars in the air, they charged down the passage toward the group. There were seven of them in all.

Feldard gets 5 more hp. So, now he’s at 6 hp.
Also, it’s been a while so as a reminder, Rahasia did give Saeth 2 healing potions.

Miklos’s immediate reaction to the charging Siswa was to summon his sleep incantation. If they were charmable perhaps this might work he reasoned. He whispered the words of making and enchanting and as softly as a breeze he blew the dweomer into the minds of the charging foe.

Marus sprang to his feet and hoisted his shield up and said, “Who has the healing draughts? We might need them soon.” He stood next to the chanting mage preparing to defend him and himself.

Feldard cussed some nasty dwarven words and took a moment to load his crossbow. He hated the idea of killing the ensorcelled elves but he was in no state to be fending off the lot of them in melee. He fired off a first shot towards the crowd of Siswa.
(how many shots might he get off before the Siswa are in melee range?)

Nicolai returns the sword to Saeth, and draws his own.
“And this could have been so easy” he muttered under his breath.

“We’re crossbowing them now?” Saeth’s muttered question was rhetorical, and quiet enough it needed no respose. She stepped past the Dwarf, slipping him a healing potion for a while. “Cradle a drink for a bit, what?”
With that, she stepped forward, hoping that by leaving the sheath on her blade, the elves could be brought down without lasting damage.

I just double checked the rules cyclopedia and couldn’t find any mention of elven resistance to sleep or charm spells. Sorry I didn’t mention this earlier!
