The arrowhawk lets out a cry, then crashes to the ground. It lies motionless upon the rocks.Nurthk tosses the crossbow down to Oliver while unshouldering his own, and selects a target.  He estimates that bird hit by the wave (#3) is the closest to falling; his arrow connects, bringing the beast that much closer.Oliver catches the bow, then begins to make a soft jog down cliffside.Meanwhile, Cylantro's second casting paints the sky, again injuring the arrowhawk which has dared to threaten her.Hiritus maintains his position, devoting his attention to covering Fendric.The largest arrowhawk (#1) flies at an angle, apparently focused on Fendric; as it sees Hiritus lead Justice to keep the cleric protected, the bird changes its mind and focuses on the Paladin instead, a bolt of electricty arcing through the air from its tail. (Hiritus: Attack 37 touch, Damage 10)Down the slope, Cylantro finds herself once again the object of her combatants' aggression. It fires down with an impatient cry. (Cylantro: Attack 17 touch, Damage 6)And further down yet, Oliver finds his scramble toward the horses interrupted by the final remaining bird. (#3) It fires down upon him, then positions itself to block his way. (Oliver: Attack 16 touch, Damage 6)The remaining elemental, meanwhile, takes a wide swipe at Xiao; the monk needn't even twitch the avoid the strike. (Fumble.)Xiao, seeing that Oliver is fine, responds with a staff-strike of his own, which is much more successful. The thing falls back into the the chasm, crumbling as it goes.The wind, meanwhile, is whipping up yet more fiercefully as Fendric heals himself. (Fendric: +19 hp) It is strong enough now to pull an arrow from its course, even at these distances. (-2 penalty on attacks with missile weapons.)The four men running toward you continue are now some 240 feet away. The weapons are plainly identifiable at this distance: Two have crossbows, one has a shortbow, and the last carries a longbow at ready, with some apparent confidence.
