OOC: Sorry (again) for the slow posting rate. Hoping to get things back in gear.
Joshua sends destruction through the ranks of the poorly armored militia, reducing their ranks by more than half. He also manages to gravely disorient one of the archers. Karis makes a quick but deadly attack against the dazed archer before ducking into the trees, unnoticed.
Rellek moves quickly to the front, and looses two quick arrows, further cutting down the numbers of the enemy (OOC: Moved to I8 since I9 was occupied by Joshua).
(NPCing Kraegyn for this round). Always eager to be in the center of the battle, Kraegyn strides toward the archers, hoping to disrupt their attacks as much as possible. He nearly fells one archer while issuing his stern challenge against the other. (Valiant Strike hits AC 21 for 11 damage, almost but not quite killing archer 2. Divine challenge the other archer.)
The lizardmen, having witnessed the fight thus far, vote with their feet and move in behind Rellek and Joshua. Two of them loose spears at one archer, and the second spear strikes true. The third and fourth loose spears at the remaining archer, but both shafts strike deep into a tree.
The remaining militiamen and archer cower in the face of such powerful opposition. Just as it appears they are about to run for it, a large contingent arrives to reinforce their position.
"Get that wizard!" shouts a voice. Two more archers appear, and with them three warriors armed in leather holding large two-handed swords. Another, smaller contingent of militiamen appear as well.
Their spirits lifted, the three militiamen already present charge Rellek and Joshua. Their enthusiasm is far greater than their ability, however, and their feeble clubs are easily doged and parried.
As the battle rages on, another squad of four lizard-folk appear. Adding to the strangeness of the battle, they appear to be accompanied by a human in chainmal and a deva (!) in leather. The four lizardmen move into position.
[sblock=Jack and Bavak]
As you hustle to keep up with the nimble lizardmen, the outlines of a battle come into view. You spot four lizardmen, a bunch of humans, two dragonborn and an elf! At first it is a little hard to tell who is fighting whom, but as you move into position, things become fairly clear.
OOC: Excuse a bit of handwaving here

OOC: In case it weren't already obvious, 'good guys' start with capital letters on the map.
