Round Five
Apropos - 18
Gideon - 15
Solonir - 11
Visha - 10
horsemen - 8
Apropos attempt to unseat the southernmost rider, but fails.
(Apropos rolled a 7 on his Str check vs the horseman's Ride check result of 12)
Gideon mounts a horse and charges the fleeing bandit. He narrowly hits the man, slicing a wide but shallow cut down his back.
(Gideon: 14 to hit, 8 points damage)
Solonir recovers his bow and trains it on the two remaining bandits in the entagled area.
Visha's swarm of bats fly after the bandit in the field. They fly past Gideon and begin to surround the bandit, but do no damage.
The last two bandits are still entangled in the vines.
The bandit in the field drops to his knees, trying to fend of the bats. He curls up on the ground and screams, "I give! Mercy! Please spare me!"
The bandit riding south draws a dagger and throws it at Apropos. He misses, and his dagger sails somewhere to his left. He looks ahead and sees a figure approaching....
Having risen early, Cadwyn had gone for a walk south of town. As he is returning, he sees a ragged looking warrior riding hard toward him. He sees Apropos make a pass at the man, but miss. Columns of smoke can be seen trickling above the horizon.
(Cadwyn's initiative is 24, so he will act first next round)
