[sblock=The Situation at Present]Grimgal and Jordi are continuing across the pond, perhaps one more rounds' worth of moves away from the shore. Billy and Zindra are at the base of the ridge, to the west of where Jordi and Grimgal are crossing. Keldok has moved up the ridge, advancing on a group of Goblin Bowmen. Billy has immobilized about half of the Bowmen. Goblin Skullcleavers, who were gathered near Dergrenche, the bandit leader, and his Ettin Bodyguards, have moved closer to our heroes. One Skullcleaver charged Zindra.[/sblock]
Seeing a massive half-orc scrambling towards them, the goblin archers retreated, firing their bows fairly ineffectively at their target. One arrow hit Keldok in the chestplate of his leather armor, causing the half-orc to flinch a bit. Other archers sent arrows flying towards the pair of heroes crossing the pond, but their arrows did not find a target.
Dergrenche, hearing the sounds of battle, took a few steps in that direction. "Get them, archers!" he yelled. The axe-wielding goblins looked to their leader, who flung his arm in the direction of the archers and, presumably, the enemy. "You, too!" As the axe-wielders ran towards the combat, Dergrenche, sword in hand, moved towards some tall shrubs. He nodded back to the pair of ettins otherwise motionless in response.
Zindra Sleekmoon stepped back from the golbin who charged her. As she did, the elf reloaded her magical longbow with a pair of arrows. She narrowed her focus and buried two arrows into the goblin. For his part, the axe-wielding goblin moved in and ineffectively swung his axe at the elf.
"I've got this one, Billy," Zindra said. "Help with the archers."
Up the ridge, Keldok the Bludgeoner stepped around the row of bushes and took a swing at a hapless goblin, crushing the little thing's skull with his mace.
Keldok, for his part, opened himself up to the enemy and quickly found himself surrounded. "The more, the merrier," he said. The half-orc quickly wished he hadn't been quite to cavalier. A pair of axe-wielding goblins closed in. One of goblins, apparently, more skilled with the battleaxe than the other, struck Keldok across the back, opening a serious wound.
Grimgal finished crossing the pond and got to the shore. He looked back at Jordi, who was still making his way across the body of water. "C'mon, ya lout," he said.
Billy Silvertongue, the gnome illusionist, stepped well away from Zindra's side. "Just need to find..." He spied a goblin archer between two trees. "Yes!" In his zeal, however, the gnome's bolt of arcane energy flew wide of the mark.
[sblock=Round Two]Goblin Bowmen (10): The 5 Bowmen not immobilized move 4 squares away from Keldok in order to use Great Position for extra damage. 4 of them fire their bows at Keldok and 1 hits Keldok for 6 damage. 1 mobile Bowman cannot see Keldok and so fires his bow at Jordi and misses. The slowed Bowman moves 2 squares away from the immobilized ones and fires his bow at Grimgal; he misses. The 4 immobilized Bowmen fire their bows at Jordi and Grimgal, diving their shots evenly. Due to the attack roll penalty Billy gave the immobilized Bowmen, their attacks all miss.
Ettins (2): Delay
Dergrenche: Move action to get behind cover. Readies Commander's Strike if an enemy moves within melee range.
Zindra: Move action to shift 1 square away from the Goblin Skullcleaver who charged her. Minor action to use Hunter's Quarry on it. She attacks it using Twin Strike and hits twice for a total of 18 damage. Because of her Predator's Hide Armor, Zindra has a +1 to all defenses against the Skullcleaver's attacks until the end of Zindra's next turn.
Keldok: Moves 5 squares, around some cover, to get closer to the immobilized Bowmen. In doing so, Keldok is no longer hidden and provokes an opportunity attack from 1 Bowman (who misses). Keldok attacks one of the Bowmen using a Melee Basic Attack (+2 Subtle Mace) and kills it. Down to 9 Bowmen left.
Grimgal: Effectively slowed while in the water. Double moves through the pond, moving 4 squares. He reaches the shore and is no longer slowed.
Ettins: Delay
Billy: Moves 4 squares so that the Goblin Bowman he is about to target no longer has cover from him. Billy uses Phantom Bolt against the Bowman and misses.
Jordi: Effectively slowed while in the water. Double moves through the pond, moving 4 squares. He is not quite out of the pond.
Goblin Skullcleavers (4): The Skullcleaver near Zindra shifts 1 square into melee range and attacks using his Battleaxe. He misses. 1 Skullcleaver near Keldok moves 6 squares to set up a flank with a Goblin Bowman against Keldok. He attacks using his Battleaxe and hits, doing 14 damage. Another Skullcleaver moves 5 squares to get into melee range with Keldok and attacks using his Battleaxe. He misses. The last Skullcleaver moves 3 squares to the edge of the ridge.[/sblock]
