Hargan smiles at the elf, giving him the smile he shows his targets before sliding a blade into their kidney, before saying "Well, poor elven waif, I simply find amusement in watching the obnoxious antics of those who live in squalor by their own choice. Does this bother you?"
Trianna facepalms.

Most all of the patrons at tavern are watching, and it has suddenly become much more quiet
"I've wressled Tarek bigger 'an th' two a you together. An' what makes you think yer so high and mighty like the sorcrer-kings 'mselves? Tell ye what! Less take it to the Arena, child!"

"The only children I see are yourself, and your untrained wretches. And as for why we are confident, that is easily explained... I have actual skill, opposed to the apparent talent of... Tarek-wrestling, was it? Is that a professional sport, or something children do, out on the dunes these days?" Hargan jibes. Meanwhile, Trianna is nearly sobbing with laughter.

[Just in case you are curious. That is a Tarek] The lot of the elves are now approaching. None of them have weapons drawn, but they are rubbing their hands together like they are ready for a fight."Well I sspose we don' have t' wait fer the arena. Les do it right here!" He holds his fists up[Roll initiative if you want to got that direction]

1d20 (19) + 4 = 23 for Hargan 1d20 (7) + 1 = 8 for Trianna
They continue to stare at the crazy elves.
Hargan readies an action - Move Action - Shadowstep - Target is the barkeeper. Trigger is if someone attacks himself or Trianna. Trianna readies an action - Memory Hole (Augment 1) - Target is the elf closest to the middle of their group. Trigger is if someone attacks herself or Hargan.
[Also, I know what a Tarek is. That's what makes it such a good taunt.]

[The Initiatives are as follows
Hargan - 23 rabble - 21 Leader - 16 Trianna - 8
Since the elves are inciting the fight I am starting with them.]
The four rabble elves suddenly jump out in all directions and are now completely hidden to the both of you. Suddenly from underneath tables and around a corner four chatkchas fly towards Hargan simultaneously. Two plant into the bar but two connect, and also revealing their locations
10 points of damage
One elf is underneath a table 3 squares away from Trianna, two are underneath other tables both 4 squares away, and the other is up against a wall just around a corner from the bar 3 squares away. The leader is directly infront of Trianna
Hargan suddenly appears behind the bar next to the barkeep with two chatkchas firmly planted into his skin.
[Describe how your readied actions play out and I will then move onto the leader]

I'm not quite certain why they go first, since I intimated that my characters anticipated being attacked and were prepared to defend, but okay...
In any case, Hargan, now injured, teleported next to the barkeep, while Trianna uses Memory Hole with 1 augmentation on the leader:
Memory Hole
Damage: 1d6 (3) + 5 = 8 Attack#1: 1d20 (19) + 6 = 25
As well, Trianna is now considered invisible to the Leader until the end of her next turn.

[That was somewhat my intent, except I also wanted to be gone BEFORE they began turning me into diced-Hargan. He only has 24 hp, and is, effectively, a rogue. Not quite a sturdy class.]

The leader of the group places his hands on his temples as though enduring a really bad migraine, closes his eyes, and then screams out loud
"Wha? Wher'd she go? uh, how'd you get back there so quick?"
He then draws an obsidian dagger and attempts to climb up onto the bar to attack Hargan. The barkeep runs to the back of the bar area near a door to the storage room. Other patrons are slowly working their way to an exit.
[This provokes an attack of opportunity from Trianna if she would like]
As he attempts to climb onto the bar he slips on a wet spot and falls back prone on the ground, twisting his ankle doing so
"AAAhhhh!"
[He is now prone on the ground next to Trianna, who is next up in the Init line]

I wish to attempt a Coup de Grace, using Mind Thrust
Damage: 1d10 (10) + 5 = 15 Attack#1: 1d20 (20) + 6 = 26
Due to the rules of Coup de Grace, I automatically crit. I'm assuming him to be helpless as he is prone, afraid, and doesn't know my location.
If he is not helpless, I use the same attack, with these rolls
Damage: 1d10 (8) + 5 = 13 Attack#1: 1d20 (14) + 6 = 20

[The way I understand the rules of coup de grace, you still roll to hit, and if you hit you consider it a crit in terms of damage die. If you gave me a little description to go with your numbers and name of attack I would let you use it, so either way you would hit, but if you describe to me what happened before Hargan's turn I'll count the damage as a crit]

It's... a mind thrust... Not very descriptive. lol Even the flavor text says "You unleash an assault upon your foe's mental pathways." Her eye twitches? That's the best I can muster for that attack (I chose mind thrust for the damage die. It was my strongest at-will)
Meanwhile, Hargan is going to lay an Assassin's Shroud upon the nearest target. Then he is going to Shadowstep to them, and attack using Leaping Shade
Damage: 1d8 (6) + 5 = 11 Attack#1: 1d20 (16) + 8 + 2(CA) = 26
The target grants combat advantage due to my Cruel Shroud feat (You have combat advantage against targets subject to your assassin’s shroud power.), and the target takes 1 extra damage because I didn't activate my shroud, as dictated by the Leaping Shade at-will power.

[The closest target is the leader, who is prone, and now bloodied, and very mush so pissed off. And when I ask you to describe your attacks, its because I want to know what everyone else is seeing so I know how they would react. I asked for at the least a brief description. Imagine you were in the room. What would you see when Hargan did Leaping Shade. I don't think it's too much to ask for.]
If it weren't for the dimly lit environment, the patrons might be of the belief that defiling magic is afoot. However, they are convinced that Hargan is merely very agile and darting about. The leader of the elf rabble spontaneously bursts into a nose bleed. As Hargan plants his weapon into him the wound becomes shrouded in darkness until he pulls away.
[alternatively I could have said "Hargan succedes in using his attack power called Leaping Shade. The elf is now bloodied." I don't find that very interesting.]

The four elves who were throwing chatkchas move in to surround Hargan with bone daggers armed, two of which manages to slice through his armor, while the other two are too drunk to successfully see their jabs through
10 points of damage
One says, "You can stop now or we take your life, and then the girls as well"

To the astonishment of all but Trianna, Hargan suddenly dissolves into a shadowed mist, and seeps through the cracks of the floor, disappearing to safety for the moment. Trianna then extends her staff toward one of the cronies, and exerts her will.
Hargan Minor Action - Shade Form Move Action - Down Standard Action - Second Wind
Trianna Standard Action - Memory Hole Damage: 1d6 (2) + 5 = 7 Attack#1: 1d20 (11) + 6 = 17

Trianna's motions bring attention to one of the elves she is not attacking next to her, and he soon realizes she is a psionicist. He swings his bone dagger at her when he sees an open opportunity, and plants clean just as his ally falls unconscious to the floor.
A few seconds later a patron runs out the front door and begins to scream
"DEFILER! HELP, TEMPLARS!"
The remaining standing elves begin to run full speed for the back exit. The leader jumps up in the distraction, slashes at the now visible Trianna with a short sword, and follows suit.
Short Sword Hit for 12 damage
**Edited out the dagger attack**
[You can make an attack of opportunity on either the leader or the elf that made the AofO on you]

Trianna tightens her grip on her staff, extends her free hand toward the other elf, scrunches her face in concentration and unleashes her power, as she says "Die, you violent curs!". As she does this, dark mists begin to fill the inn, obscuring everyone's sight, as Trianna slips away.
Attack of Opportunity on the (non-leader) elf.
Mind Thrust (unaugmented) Damage: 1d10 (6) + 5 = 11 Attack#1: 1d20 (12) + 6 = 18 vs will
Attack on the Leader
Telepathic Projection Damage: 3d8 (6, 7, 7) + 5 = 25 Attack#1: 1d20 (12) + 6 = 18 vs will
Trianna makes a stealth check 1d20 (16) + 1 = 17
Hargan used Summon the Mists as a Minor Action, and substituted his move action for a minor to sustain the Shade Form.

[So Trianna is trying to hide somewhere, and Hargan is cloaked in shadows (giving him partial or total concealment)? Once I have an understanding of this I'll continue on with what I have planned]
The elves, save for the unconcious two on the tavern floor, seem to have made it around the corner and out the back door. The leader shouted "I won' forget ye two!" on his way out
