He stumbles forawrd under the man's weight, not making much progress.Aeron looks at the two mages.  "Get moving.  Someone will have to slow those reinforcements down," the cleric nods to the west, "and those two boys," nodding toward Zirat and Sir Merrick, "are in no shape to do it.  I'm out of healing.  Use the potions.  My armor can take the beating." Aeron stoically prepares for whatever will come from the west.Merrick, hearing Zirat's words, withdraws, following after his fleeing companions.Dagger drawn and in hand, Jinx takes up a position directly behind Aeron.  "Ready.  Lead the way, priest."  When the Last Prophet instead directs Jinx and Ciaran down the western hall to head off any approaching foes, Jinx blinks, drops the pack to the floor, then dutifully nods and scuttles forward, his dagger still in hand.  The gnome distractedly natters at the familiar safely ensconced in its riding basket on his hip.  "Wotcher, Bauble.  None too sure aboot all this.""This is not the end," the champion snarls to the captain. "We shall meet again."Shoon quickly falls behind, trying to carry the wounded guard. The enemy begins to follow. Shoon notes new guards at their back. Something must be done, or he will be owverwhelemed.Aeron can still hear the new enemy, growing louder, but still can't see them.Initiative Count20 Ciaran - withdraws19 Deren - moves13 Shoon - moves, hefts unconscious gaurd13 Aeron - ready attack action13 Merrick - move12 Jinx - move9 Zirat - <s>9 gnoll e</s>8 human 5 - 4 human 1 - 4 human 2 - 4 human 3 - [OUT OF SIGHT] ?4 human 4 - PC StatusAeron    14/24Merrick    2/22Shoon    13/18Zirat    10/31Jinx    15/15; mage armor (approx 54 mins left) for AC17[sblock=Opponent Status - Players Do Not Look]Guard 1 -4/38, stabilizedGuard 2 -3/27, stabilizedGuard 3 DEADGuard 4 -3/27, stabilizedGuard 5 DEADO1    DEADGnoll a DEADgnoll b -5/11gnoll c -3/11gnoll d -8/11gnoll e DEADhuman 5 21/29bugbear -3/16human 1 8/8human 2 8/8human 3 8/8human 4 8/8human 5 8/8human 6 -9/8guard 7 0/8, feigning unconsciousness[/sblock]</blockquote>
