D1: Ashin's Commission (El Jefe judging)

The Stonepike Mountains

OoC: I think we're actually reaching a resolution!

Round 7[sblock=Michael, Hulgyr, Zaeryl, Eternity, Almayce: ]- Michael shouted instructions and ran for the woods.

The downed soldier was badly burned and in need of medical attention. Michael decided that Sela's healing gifts might be used wisely here, and headed in his direction.

- Michael decided to see if he could fix the one soldier's boo-boos.

Hulgyr grabbed the cloak with Ironwolf's psicrystal, and made for the forest. The psicrystal, sensing that an escape opportunity might be present, started struggling within the folds of cloth. As he entered the woods, he saw all his comrades with the two remaining soldiers: one still standing, the other laying on the forest floor. (Map below, just before Private Squatter's movement)

- Hulgyr grabbed the soldier's cloak (and Ironwolf's rock), and ran for the woods.

Zaeryl launched another blast at Private Squatter, but in his haste he failed to aim his powers properly. The soldier saw clearly that he had narrowly cheated death, and decided to make a run for it. His eyes darted in the direction of the path, and he saw that he'd have to run a gauntlet of adventurers to make his escape that way. He bolted to the other side of Zaeryl, passing between Zaeryl and his fallen cohort. "Sorry, Corporal!", he cried, his voice laden with regret as he raced past "Stander's" prone form.

Corporal? Zaeryl wryly observed that this was an unusual way to achieve a promotion. He found the Fallonese army and its customs strange.

- Zaeryl tried to play another mean trick on the soldier, but it didn't work this time.
- The soldier didn't like playing with Zaeryl and went crying for his Mommy.

OoC: Zaeryl, do you have a weapon in hand? If so, you get an AoO on the departing Private(?) Squatter.

Ironwolf tried to calm his psicrystal. "After all", he thought, "at least you're in good hands, now." He scooped up the limp form of Private Kneeler, and followed his friends into the woods. Michael had slipped out of sight, and Hulgyr was opening up a lead. Ahead he could make out Eternity with her back to him, and was that Almayce by her side?[/sblock]

(OOC: Attack of Opportunity is a very palpable miss. Don't worry--he's a moron to run when he knows we have ranged attacks :] Should have surrendered like he expected us to do)

OoC: Well, first there's the matter of keeping him in the range of the ranged attacks...

OoC: And after all the discussion, I forgot to give Zaeryl that 5' step, not that it affected either Private Squatter's escape route, or the fact that Zaeryl got and missed an AoO. The map in this post corrects that. That won't affect anything Michael is doing since you can run through a square with a friendly with no penalty.

IC: Private Squatter ran in the direction of Duvik, a little away from the path, crying "Heeeellllp! We're under attaaaaaaaccck!" as he went.

OoC: Exiting top of the map near the top left corner. Eternity and Almayce can give chase if they like.

Almayce 1[/sblock][sblock=Ironwolf: ]- Michael shouted instructions and ran for the woods.
- Hulgyr grabbed the soldier's cloak (and Ironwolf's rock), and ran for the woods.

Ahead of him, and moving rapidly from his left to his right, Ironwolf heard someone yelling, "Heeeellllp! We're under attaaaaaaaccck!". The voice wasn't familiar, so he decided that perhaps Fallonese regulars weren't made of all that stern a stuff.[/sblock]Eternity 8

Ironwolf heads toward the screaming soldier. When he gets in sight of him, he calls out for him to surrender. Something to the effect of:

"Drop your weapon and surrender, and you won't be harmed."
 


Eternity will check on the fallen with Michael, she does not want to kill these men(?) just prevent them from moving. As she approaches she says, "Be careful Michael, I do not believe that these men are all they appear to be."
 

Hulgyr will charge the last soldier standing with an unarmed attack.

-edit: if possible. If he is out of reach, he'll turn to rest and ask what to do.
 

*Zaeryl nods to Hulgyr, who is guaranteed to catch the soldier due to faster speed. If Hulgyr can't get up to the bastard in time, Zaeryl will move after and shoot another Crystal Shard.

(OOC: Let me know because otherwise, he has to deal with the most dangerous threat to the party, the only person who attacked him this entire fight (Hint: Not one of the soldiers).*
