[QUOTE="Land Outcast, post: 3009258, member: 29160"] One of the humanoids -the one atop the wagon- smiles as he levels the bow at the raging orc and lets loose an arrow... which lands with a sharp *thuk* on one of the trees covering Thoma. The others hear Shoon raise his voice for the first time; [COLOR=Cyan]"Try to take prisoners, our attacker may know something of our objective!"[/COLOR] Seeing how much trouble Kragor is having he then follows Ivan along the path... Besting the fiery haired cleric, he gets to the edge of the turn, from where he can see they indeed know about their objective... one of the humanoids is standing on the wagon -which has only one horse left-, and the snow around it is tainted with red. Howling with rage Thoma plows through the heavy snow kicking up great white clouds as he rushes at the cowardly yellowskins who hide behind dogs and arrows. The blood dripping down his chest is apparently ignored... one of the yellowskins turns pale at seeing no effect from the half-buried arrow he shot. Balund moves forward toward the nearest tree, to use it as cover from the enemies' arrows. Leaning around the trunk, he takes aim at the nearest humanoid and cuts off the ear of one of the creatures... to not much effect. Kragor trudges forward as best he can over the rough terrain in his heavy winter clothes. As he passes the fallen dog with its cracked skull rises an eyebrow. He struggles to reach the foes before they take him with arrows. Ivan hurries along the path, weapon held out as he rounds the corner and comes face to face with his foes. Now he can see ten bodies sprawled about, two of the humanoids... and the others seem to be human, including two dressed in simple clothing with some tattered cold weather outfits. The yellowskin in front of Thoma recovers his composture, and steps back as he throws the bow behind him and draws a fine longsword... waiting for the "giant" to come onto him. The other humanoid moves onto the wagon, beside the one wearing a brestplate, and shoots down with great accuracy, almost adding a hole to the orc's neck, but instead piercing his shoulder. Both the humanoids atop of the wagon are surprised by the approaching Kragor and Ivan... and the arrow coming from the forest to cut clean the ear of the one who just climbed the cart doesn't do much to improve their situation...
