Michael grabs his kit and bolts for the horses, saving his breath for running.
55 Hail Sela's Grace, 54 Hail Sela's Grace, 53 Hail Sela's Grace...
Edit: added listen check
Michael's Listen check (1d20+3=18)
Can't believe they haven't heard that yet, but all it takes is one person scraping the wax out of their ears...

Round 7[sblock=Michael, Hulgyr, Zaeryl, Eternity, Almayce: ]- Michael shouted instructions and ran for the woods.
- Michael decided to see if he could fix the one soldier's boo-boos.
- Hulgyr grabbed the soldier's cloak (and Ironwolf's rock), and ran for the woods.
- 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.
- Zaeryl tried to stop him but he ran very fast.
- Eternity decided to see how bad the one soldier got burned.
Almayce caught a glimpse of the fleeing soldier as he ran between the trees, loaded his crossbow, aimed, and let loose a bolt. Truly, it was perhaps the most astounding feat of marksmanship of Almayce's life as the bolt threaded its way between several tree branches to strike the fleeing man, 30 yards away if it was an inch.
The man seemed to stumble as he ran. Had Almayce's bolt managed to penetrate the man's armor? Given the light leather that the guards had been wearing, it seemed likely. Yet, he continued to run through the woods, bending his course so that he now ran a little toward the path instead of away from it.
- Almayce shot a soldier with one of his toys.

Hulgyr joined his fellows in the forest, and glanced impassively at the fleeing soldier who was well out of charge range. "What do we do now?", he asked. He wondered if he should just let Ironwolf's psicrystal go, or hold onto it for safekeeping.
- Hulgyr realized that all his playmates either took a nap or ran away.
Pretty much everyone could hear someone or something large crashing through the forest behind them and in the direction of Duvik. Pretty much everyone assumed it was Ironwolf.
Zaeryl observed that Private Squatter had comfortably fled out of range for another blast of crystal shards. It was now time to deal with other matters.

(OOC: Okay, since he didn't move in a straight line, the guard clearly had to double move and not sprint. That's fine--Zaeryl will move closer to him and blast him with another Crystal Shard. Since he moved past Zaeryl last round, it is impossible for him to be out of CS range after another move action. Let me know if I am wrong about this)
OoC: Yup, you're wrong about this. He sprinted in one direction during Round 7, then turned just a bit and sprinted in a slightly different direction during Round 8. I realize the text I used implied that he changed directions in the middle of Round 7, that is not true.Rystil Arden said:

(OOC: How did he get to move twice before Zaeryl could act?)
OoC:
Round 7:
1. Zaeryl attacks soldier, misses.
2. Soldier moves.
Round 8:
1. Declared action for Zaeryl is chase soldier and blast. Blasting is a standard action, leaving only a move action. If Zaeryl moves at maximum speed for one move action, Zaeryl will not be in range to blast at the end of his initiative on Round 8. Exact declaration is, "Let me know because otherwise, he has to deal with..." So, I'm interpreting the situation as otherwise. Zaeryl cannot possibly reach soldier on Round 8, so I'm giving you a chance to declare some other action for Zaeryl on Round 8.
2. Soldier's initiative on Round 8. Since Zaeryl cannot affect him, soldier will run on Round 8, "no saving throw allowed", although technically we're still waiting for Zaeryl and the soldier has not moved yet. But he will.
So, soldier has not moved twice before Zaeryl can act, and wont. But he will move twice.
