OOC: Please refer to this post to format your combat posts.
Please roll and post your Initiative results.
Taking a quick look around, the scene was set. The heroes found themselves on the banks of the Vistus River with the missing barge run aground in the distance. Both banks of the river were covered in pine trees. The banks themselves were muddy with a recent rain.
As the group reacted in various ways to Brian Thorvald's quick leap for cover, a rain of arrows leapt through the air and towards our heroes!

Iados quickly moves to the side, so as to spread out from the group, as he loosens an blast of dark, eldritch energy in the direction of the arrows source. However, be it his quick movements, their surprise position, or an inability to see his foe, Iados' blast goes wide.

As soon as Regdar sees Brian dive for cover and the hail of arrows coming he charges forward towards the source of the arrows.
Initiative (1d20+2=13)
15 with Erevan's bonus
OOC:don't know if I can do these actions out of order but...
Move action: Moves six squares towards the archers (less if all six squares are not needed)
Minor action: If he is close enough for a melee attack he readies his scythe for an attack
If not he readies his bow.
Standard action:
if scythe (damage 2d4+3)
scythe attack (1d20+5=7)
if bow (damage 1d8+2)
1d20+5=24
If for some reason he is still out of range with the bow he will still fire off an arrow though 1 square short of its range as to deceive the enemy about his effective range. (OOC: would that be a take 5 or is that even allowed?)
Free action: Combat Challenge the archer he attacks if he can (if this isn't a free action then just tell me and I'll edit it out, seemed like it was the way the book is written)

Arjhan moves very quickly across the battlefield, dodging around a tree to strike at Regdar's opponent. His dagger misses the target nearly impaling it on his own leg.
