[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 2075096, member: 11574"] [b]Elfys don't fall good either[/b] A volley of arrows falls upon the bluff top. One manages to lodge itself into the calf of Finrod, the others are overshot and land behind the party beneath the wall. Finrod yanks the shaft out of his leg, and pulls his knees to his chest while turning his back to the tower. Korg is the first to arrive on the bluff's top, the appearance of the giant gives the enemy archers pause as there is a lull in volleys. Korg positions himself between Finrod and the tower, while he awaits the arrival of Gronar. "Gronar help Pokey up?" Gronar asks as he offers his hand to Paquito. Remembering the treatment Finrod received, Paquito waves off the giant's assistance. "I have decided that subtlety is of more use here. No?" Paquito relates as he heads into the gap in the bluff's wall looking to a better route than flung by a giant. Nameroc along with his bear move cautiously towards the buff opening that Paquito took, and watch as Paquito rounds a bend and disappears around the curve. Gronar reaches the top of the bluff and spies four orcish looking archers atop the tower, he watches as eight arrows land harmlessly in front of him. The wall itself is only fifteen feet wide and then drops off to ground level again twenty-five feet below. The tower stands twenty feet from the base of the bluff's wall, in it's own little hollow. Gronar also sees a side opening that is ground level to the west of the tower, he alerts Nameroc and Paquito to it's existence, then turns to Korg. "How bad Elfy hurt?" Gronar asks "Korg not know, Elfy not stand up though." Korg answers "Korg take Elfy down and squeeze leg. Gronar take care of Piggies*" The hill giant replies Korg reaches down for Finrod, but Finrod is too busy using Korg's body as cover. Annoyed, Korg uses his foot, and nudges Finrod off the bluff's side. Finrod tumbles and slides down the wall and lands with a thud onto the ground. "Korg have good plan, Gronar know that Elfy's take too long to climb wall." Gronar says to he friend with a hearty smile. Paquito runs down the valley-like space looking for the opening that Gronar shouted about, he finally locates it and turns back to Nameroc and shouts. "I found the gap! Bring up the rear. No?" The minotaur yells back to Nameroc Nameroc hustles down the gorge, once Paquito is in view, the minotaur disappears into the opening, revealing a large black form floating further down the gorge. Gronar gives out a yell and leaps down the side of the bluff, the stunned archers misfire and shoot wildly to either side of the giant. Korg reaches the ground next to Finrod, and turning him over, verifies that the elf is still breathing. A hopeless look of disbelief escapes the elf's eyes, as Korg applies his healing touch to Finrod's bleeding leg. "There, Korg make Elfy's owwie better." The proud giant announces "Great, how about these broken ribs, or wrenched back from getting kicked down the mountain?" Finrod pained voice replies "What mountain? Korg think Elfy have fever, maybe Elfy need rest?" Korg answers "Nevermind, give me another one of those heals and I'll be ok." Finrod replies "Korg made Elfy's leg not bleed, Elfy fine now. Elfy want Korg to help go back up there?" Korg asks, pointing at the top of the bluff. "No! I'll get up there myself thank you."
