He then sends a bolt of light at the half-orc driver, who rolls out of his seat, of the wagon, leaving a heat scar on the quilted seat he vacated.Bobranthus clambers down the rocks, stopping just short of the slippery ice. He hoists and throws two javelins at the closest mercenary, which happens to be a guard, on foot, on the right-hand side of the two-workhorse team which pulls the wagon. The lucky guard puts his shield up just in time, and both javelins clatter off of it.Terrus shoots his crossbow at the guard on foot on the left side of the wagon. The guard raises his shield, but too late - a quarrel protrudes from his throat just below his helmet, and the man falls, gurgling on the ground.Corrah, her little legs straining to keep up with the large men, fires her short bow for 20 feet further back up the hill. She lobs them high, striking the captain in the shoulder, and a thuggish mercenary on the back of the wagon in the arm.The Captain tracks Devan with his crossbow, but can't find a good shot. When Bobranthus comes into view, he fires at the Barbarian instead. Bob leaps over a rock, and the quarrel clatters into the stones. The captain jumps off the wagon and takes cover behind a horse to reload his crossbow.The Half-Orc diver,having jumped out of the wagon, grabs a greataxe out of the footwell. He rushes forward aggressively, but a confused look crosses his face as his legs shake and his brow sweats. He struggles to move forward. Pyrus can feel his determination as he forces himself on. To Pyrus' surprise (and Bob's pleasure), he reaches the edge of the ice sheet, and struggles on, his boots crunching in the frost. Breathing hard, he stops ten feet into the ice, and ten feet from Bob.The two Thugs stand on the back of the wagon. They follow their captain's lead and both fire crossbows at Bobranthus. One quarrel falls short, sticking up out of the ice sheet. The other grazes Bob's cheek. Bob chuckles to himself, Barely felt it.The three remaining Guards hesitate. "Go get them, or I'll have your eyes!" roars the Captain. They rush forward, spears over their shields. They slow as they come toward Pyrus, huddling together in a three-person phalanx, forty feet from the high rocks, where Pyrus, Terrus, Devan, and Sesto are (and 25 from Bob, 5 from the ice-sheet.)[GM] That's the round. Bob has taken 2 damage. (That's it for the party.)The Captain has taken 17Thug1 has taken 4.Guard4 is DEAD.
