Bloodcove Disguise

OOC: K, I figured we could find a number as opposed to rolling.. I will cut off 4 charges from the wand and we should all be healed up and ready for whatever waits us at the camp.

With greatly elevated spirits the caravan gets under way. About midday, Raimondo calls a halt for a brief rest. The air is stifling, but the shade from the jungle keeps the sun from beating down on you. The trials are wide here and the foilage much less dense as you are rising upwards towards the hills. The jungle noises are interrupted by a loud, shrill whistle and then you hear the thundering of hooves. Shadows loom from the jungle and you see several mounted men charging your group. Apparently, what mounted troops the Brotherhood had have swung away from the main party and cut in front of your group.

OOC: The positions are where the cavalry is as of the beginning of round 1. You all have time to draw weapons as they close. Roll init. we will go in that order. Only the big tree blocks movement. The other clumps are bushes that do block charge and LOS from unmounted to unmounted people. Mounted people can move or charge through the bushes at no penalty.

Aradra gets his bow ready, and draws a bead on his target (the Captain*)

OCC: PBS + Rapid/DA (+8/+8 1d8+7)

*Aradra, having served in the military, should be able to tell the difference, but can roll a Profession(Solider)/Perception Check if needed.

EDIT: Crap, used the wrong values. Correct values are +6/+6. So I hit a 9 and a 19 AC

"Stay together! Let them come to us if they wish to die!" Markas says readying his shield and getting a firmer grip on his sword.

He bends low at the knees and tucks his shield up under his chin. As the riders approach all they can see of the warrior is his head above the shield and his sword held at the ready.

OCC: Action Total Def - AC 27

"We are prepared!"

Mandalo readies an attack against the first enemy which comes in range.

Chaucer sees shapes beginning to materialize at the same time his companions do. He sees Aradra put arrow to string, he sees his new companion Markas raise his shield mocking the mounted foes, and he sees his arms work as if by their own accord. He slides his bow off his shoulder and in the same motion puts an arrow to the string, as he continues to evaluate the scene of the charging calvary. To his right is a small tree, at least he has a bit of cover from that direction. He turns his attention to the road the forks to the left. Markus stands in front of him, and there are multiple targets bearing down on them. Chaucer pulls back his bow and waits for them to close.

As he waits, he speaks quietly to Syldar, "I have a song of power and courage for our friends that shall be sung after this arrow is loosened. Unless there is a dance stirring in your soul, I would ask for the honor of inspiring our allies during this battle.

Aradra let loose quickly and one of his arrows strikes true. The rest of you ready yourselves for them to come closer. With a roar, Capt Calgerine charges. He ignores Aradra and instead levels his lance at the heavily armored Markas. Markas catches the blow on his shield and turns it away, but he is almost staggered by the force of the blow. The Capt continues past as he looks to wheel around for another charge.

OOC: Whew! Good choice to go total defense there Markas .
