Kerry Knowledge check DRR:8+4(int)+4(know)=16 :)

Kerry sees the 5 men and the women staring at the group, and doesn't need to look far back in her thoughts. These were dark elves, enemies of all that is good and an atrocity to the elves. The statue is easily recognizable as a statue of Rao.

The drow male stays in the rear, and begins casting a spell. He raises his hands and gestures a few times, then stops.

The 4 men in front all draw longbows and nock arrows, firing into the party's midst. Each arrow misses it's mark, and the drow curse with each shaft that flies awry.
Attack DRR (Horek):8
Attack DRR (Elscene):9
Attack DRR (Horek):13
Attack DRR (Nydilind):10

Kerry draws her wand, ot knowing what power resides within. Aiming closest to the first of the six drow, she speaks the command word and a bolt of energy streaks forth and strikes him in the chest. He staggers and falls unmoving from the magic missile.
Spell Resistance DRR:16 :)
Damage DRR:4 hps

Acea nocks an arrow in her shortbow and lets it fly, but the arrow sails over the heads of the enemy.
Attack DRR:5+2(dex)+1(BA)=8

Horek speaks to his bow, whispering the word to it that he got from the great archery tournament. Drawing back an arrow, he fires at the drow woman and almost hits her with a heart shot. She wavers but doesn't fall over completely.
Attack DRR:16+2(BA)+4(dex)+1(mag.bon.)=23 :)
Damage DRR:5+1(mag.bon)=6 hps
Frost damage DRR:3 hps

Nydilind takes her bow and nocks the arrow, arching a shot over and into the enemy ranks. Her arrow sails true, hitting yet another drow, this time in the shoulder.
Attack DRR:11+2(BA)+4(dex)=17 :)
Damage DRR:2 hps :)

Elscene releases an arrow from her self-crafted bow, still not completely comfortable with it's longer curve and grip, or how much pull the arrow has in the bow. It goes straight into the darkness, beyond the drow and the statues.
Attack DRR:8+2(dex)+1(BA)-4(nonprof.)=7 :(

The drow woman who seems to be directing things as near as Horek can tell speaks unintelligibly and touches her abdomen, then stands with renewed vigor ready for battle.

OOC: The drow are within 60', so a double move or charge will allow you to get within engagement distance for melee.
When night falls everything fades to black.
