Before Kruk to attack the throng of zombies, they pummeled him further; though, the dwarfs staunch attack positioned him better to defend himself. When the zombies attacked again, he easily deflected their blows.
"Damnit," the archer cursed. Losing sight of Carolina, he took aim across the battlefield, and fired a bolt at Wil. His target was true, and the bolt slammed into the Bard's shoulder, who heard the whistling projectile too late.
The outlaw closed in on Wil, thrusting his Halberd at the bard; but Wil smartly repositioned himself moments before, drawing the foe onto a treacherous piece of ice. As he attacked, his feet flew out from under him, and the Outlaw found himself sprawled out on the ground.
The second outlaw winced from the pain, but managed to regain his composure. Thrusting hard again, this second attack connected, sending the barbarian flying back onto the ground.
"Not so tough now," he spat.
"Get the dwarf out of my way!" the knight ordered.
The fat woman Alaria crunched her face up into a crude scowl, and Kruk felt as if he were crushed into a ball. A moment later, the pain stopped, but he had a disorienting sensation as he realized he was teleported 5 feet away. The fat woman looked exhausted from her effort, but satisfied with the result. She looked at the knight, as if seeking approval, and found none.
The other backline shoulder moved into the shadow of the wall.
With Kruk out of the way, the knight galloped forward to the middle of the battlefield.
"FOR THE BROTHERHOOD!" he yelled, inspiring his soldiers with his presence on the field. With another gallop, he took to the flanks of the prone Outlaw.
"Get up!"

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain Notes]
1. Difficult Terrain:
Snow Drifts: M9:O10 and M26:N28 and O27:O28
Snow-covered Rocks: R15, W21, X21:X22, H14
Treeline
2. The wall and gate are made of wood, 12' tall.
If standing on the wall, there is no cover bonus granted.
If prone atop the wall, the target has superior cover (-5) vs opponents on the ground.
3. The cliffs on the east and west side of the map are too steep to climb, so basically impassible, creating a bottleneck in the road.

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship
Wind's Will captained by
Captain Levenbrech, and mated by
Porse and
Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (
link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest,
Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about
Hellview (
background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says
Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "
will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of
Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.
9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through the hell gate, and they found
Sir Alistair Glasston's lost battleaxe. But Greggor was still missing, and there is the question of why the demons were digging.
10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the others pressed ahead North, trying to find the source of the demon-aligned miners, as well as the lost silver.
11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine.
Brother Arleas leads a band of outlaws and zombies to defend the mine entrance.
