The large bird bears the injury without much visible trouble, although it has clearly become quite worn-down by the onslaught.Tatlock's sling, however, remains ineffective.Only the first of Nurthk's two arrows connects with its target (#3), and even then it is only a glancing blow, knocking away a few feathers but little else.Oliver makes a running jump for the bird he feels he can reach, but the creature rolls deftly away from his fingers. He finds himself, then, falling down toward the base of the slope, on course for a rough collision with its surface. (Oliver: 6 nonlethal + 5 lethal damage; Tumble DC 17 negates the latter damage.)Back up the cliffside, Cylantro's magic missile connects once more with the arrowhawk she battles. (#2) It lets out a loud shriek, wavers for a moment, appearing almost ready to fall, then rights itself in the air.Hiritus moves a hand to heal himself. (Hiritus: +10 hp)Seeing the paladin's hands occupied, however, prompts the larger arrowhawk hovering near him to strike with more audacity. It swoops down and bites at Pelor's champion, then deftly swerves in the air and pulls itself up to a position a few more feet away. (Hiritus: Attack 30, Damage 21.) (Note: No AoO due to Flyby Attack.)The second arrowhawk remains engaged with Cylantro, firing down another bolt at the spellcaster. (Cylantro: Attack 17 touch, Damage 13)The last, who evaded Oliver's leaping plunge, pulls away from the cliff face a few feet, lest another should try the idea. It fires down at the old lutist, crying with contempt. (Oliver: Attack 24 touch, Damage 4)Xiao begins his careful-footed jog down the slope; Fendric, meanwhile, casts his protective spell upon Hiritus, then pulls himself beneath the fallen arrowhawk for cover.By this time, the wind has picked up substantially. (-4 penalty on attacks with missile weapons.) The approaching bowmen slow their stride just a little as they come to a distance of around 120 feet, readying their weapons (angled toward the birds, you'll be pleased to note) to get in a few shots before the building winds make it impossible.In the cold flow of the air, you can feel the first few droplets of moisture coming down from those ever-darkening clouds.Round 824 Raven23 Tatlock22 Nurthk21 Oliver20 Cylantro17 Hiritus12 Arrowhawks5 Xiao3 Fendric</blockquote>
