S2: War in Vastermarch - Completed

OOC: Don't think I'm abandoning you, with a combination of lack of speed, and low HP, Juliana is better off gathering the remaining forces

OOC: Thanks, Bront!

Ogrin aids Juliana in picking up the stragglers etc, then mounts and follows, closer to the front this time.

Round 12 10:36:06

The villagers are all set, Ogrin mounts and rides forwards. Beamer readies his crossbow and moves up too, reaching Banion, who is coming towards him. Beamer is able to put a hand on Banion's arm.

The sound of the two last orcs can be heard fleeing through the forest.

Juliana gathers with the others, a strong force on the open road. They can hear Eusebius fighting in the forest. The monk casts his aid spell and step forward to keep Tharok within range of his chain.

At full run, Talbin catches up to the others and heads into the woods. He can't quite catch Razh, though, who is hurrying back to where he last saw the evil half-orc. The sturdy dwarf closes to within 20 feet of the monk, though the woods will slow down his movement from here on.

Tharok steps away from Eusebius again, and again manages to cast a spell without letting down his guard. A DC 16 spellcraft check would allow Eusebius to identify the spell.

THe wagon and villagers move up after the adventureres. Left behind are Torvin's body, other dead bodies, and the various horses, most of whom have fled, mostly to the North, where the party is headed.

OOC: Ogrin paused Hugh to hoist Torvins body onto the wagon a while back.

Spotting the well-armored body of what seems to be the Paladin, Ogrin says to Hugh, "Hold a moment. We'll bring this one too... "

OOC: No can do - he doesn't have ranks in Spellcraft, and it's "trained only".

OOC: Juliana wil make sure Torvin's body is on the carts as well, but it looks like that's taken care of. I'll be traveling tomorow though next week, so you might not see much of me. NPC as needed.

Talbin continues to get closer to brother E.

Eusebius' eyes narrow in determination. Stepping forward, he palm-strikes the half-orc's chest, seeking to channel the energy of his blow inward to crush his opponent's heart, then follows up with a smash to the face, targetting the vulnerable area between the eyes.
