Suddenly, a pair of female elf archers appear from behind trees and pelt your group with more arrows. Their arrows sing towards Erik who narrowly dodges one but gets grazed along the shoulder by another (8 dmg). They are followed by a pair of male elven scouts who creep up, surprising your group and catching you unaware. One appears out of hiding from right behind one of the trees between which Amicae took cover catching her very much by surprise and takes a slice at her with his twin blades, a short sword and longsword. She narrowly dodges the short sword, but is sliced through her armor by the longsword, giving her a nasty cut (11 dmg). The elves you first spotted close in, swords drawn. Tomlin flees inside the chapel wailing.[gm]Damage takenErik 8Amicae 11All others uninjured, no status effectsThe difficult terrain is either shrubbery (around the fountain and chapel) or underbrush. It provides concealment (-2 to hit) to any within and is considered difficult terrain. The trees provide cover (-2 to hit) for any behind them with respect to ranged attacks but not melee attacks. Tree squares cannot be occupied. The water in the fountain is calf-deep for medium creatures and is considered difficult terrain but offers no defensive benefits. The walls are hard cover, i.e. you have to move all the way around corners; the same is true of the fountain.Begin Round 2, players' initiative.[/gm]</blockquote>
