Shadya is relayed the message quickly, but she doesn't react fast enough.
(Failed Spot and Listen checks.)
Conuld, who was walking his horse, casts
mage armor.
A man wielding a shortsword (B8) moves forward out of the haze of the rain on the closer side of the bridge. (30' away from Cludge.)
Another man (B1) appears from behind you, he wields a dagger and is holding a bag. (30' away from Kurgahz.)
Lasair manifests Vigor. (+15 HP, -3 pp)
Kurgahz considers taking out his crossbow, but then decides that his enemy is too close for that. He pulls out his greatclub instead.
Cludge, seeing that these men are clearly hostile, draws his greatsword as he dashes across the bridge. He quickly reaches the closest man and
cleaves him mightily (16 damage). The man instantly collapses.
The dark shapes that Cludge noticed before now materialize into more men. One (B4) wields a shortsword, he moves next to his fallen companion. (diagonal from Cludge.)
The second (B3) carries a whip. He moves behind his standing companion. (5' from Cludge.)
The third man that Cludge noticed (B7) is on the side of the bridge closer to Orussus. He has two daggers in his hands. He moves past his friend to get a little closer to our favorite bloodthirsty orc-blooded cleric. (30' from Kurgahz.)
Finally, a fourth, previously undetected, man (B2) appears from the same place as the third man. He wields a whip and takes up a position behind his two blade-wielding friends. (35' from Kurgahz.)
Without warning, two arrows whistle through the air towards the party, one from each side of the bridge. It's not clear who the arrows were intended for, the rain and the wind blow them
far off target and into the rushing water below.

[sblock=Rules: ]I'm not sure Cludge can charge and draw at the same time, but I think he can. If he can't, tell me, and I won't let it happen in the future. But I won't retcon.
Also, I'm just going to assume nobody was mounted. If you want to be, please say so.[/sblock]
