Still having flashbacks of the previous battle with archers, Rayburn nearly turns and joins Xaros, but after a moment's hesitation advances and blasts the mercenaries with a color spray instead. Color spray Will DC 14. If he can catch both ranks without getting into melee range, he will. He...

Congratulations! I hope everything goes well.

Seeing the battle started, Rayburn draws his trusty wand of magic missile and advances to join Lily behind Kerin and Swift.

Rayburn suddenly remembers the last time he was on a horse and faced by an archer as he simultaneously realizes that he is the only one still on horseback. He quickly dismounts and tethers his horse. "No sense in being the most visible target," he mutters to himself.

"Technically, they'd only be hunted if they failed to kill all of us, no? And if they fail to kill all of us, wouldn't imply that we killed all of them?" Rayburn shrugs. "I suppose it couldn't hurt to warn them, but I doubt it will help much either." "If violence does ensue, I do have a...

Rayburn only goes about halfway back before turning around and watching in the direction of the fleeing rider with a concerned look on his face. He eventually returns to the gully and keeps watch from there.

When Rayburn sees Lily look for a way to cross the gully he says, "I don't think you'll want to cross now. By the time you reach him he will have alerted any accomplices. It's probably best that we go meet up with the others."

Rayburn grimaces as the rider disappears from view. "It's a pity I'm not a dashing swordsman," he mutters to himself. He waits a moment longer, watching for a horde of bandits or some such to appear, then returns to the others.

I really shouldn't have skipped those riding lessons... Rayburn hopes fervently that the fleeing rider fails in his attempt to clear the gully, but visions of himself tumbling end over end into the mud with the horse rolling over him stop him short of jumping it himself. He wont spend a charge...

Rayburn looks around, realizes that he's the only one on horseback and mutters "Wonderful" before setting off after the rider. If he manages to close to wand of magic missile range (130'), he'll shoot the rider. If he approaches a tree line or embankment or something else that could hide an...

OOC: I hate to burst your bubble, but you don't get aerial form until 5th level. When he sees the fleeing farmer, Rayburn decides that now would be a good time to cast mage armor, and does so.

"What, so soon?" remarks Rayburn casually as he surreptitiously readies his faithful wand of magic missiles.

Rayburn smiles. "Aye, let's all travel together. I'm sure the Coplins can tell a good story to help pass the time, and I'm sure it will be handy to have a big brute like Swift around to help if one of your wagons should get stuck in the mud."

Rayburn says aloud, but to no one in particular, "It appears that our dear friend expected the spiders to take better care of us. I imagine that he has hurried off to find someone that might be a little more... hospitable." Then he looks pointedly at Cait and asks, "What do you think, Cait?"

Rayburn takes a polite sip from the skin. "I thank you good sir. It has been a dry few days."

Rayburn suppresses a smile when nudged by Xaros and waits to see what the others will do.

Rayburn climbs up onto his horse, checks his pocket, and says, "Very well then, let's go."

LOL! Thank you, Evilhalfling. That was great. :D Rayburn looks from person to person, questioning. "So... does anyone have a preference about what to do next? I'm thinking that we should head towards Southwick. We can stop somewhere along the way to find maps or directions, and I imagine...

Rayburn looks at Cait for a moment, expressionless, and then adds, "Have you heard anything about Southwick, Cait?"

"I don't think we need to report back quite yet. This is a test of our independence and usefulness as much as anything else." Rayburn stares into the fountain as he thinks for a moment, then adds drily, "Besides, no one is dead yet and we really have done nothing but annoy a baron, so I'm not...
