Initiative:
Geoffrey 15
H'Roosh 11
Gnurl 11
Radoon 9
Zurrik 7
Hounds initiative (1d20+3=18)
Geoffrey continues to wield the force weapon to good effect and a hound drops from the tree where Zurrik is battling.
Seeing that the main part of the battle will likely take place at the mouth of the 'ravine' rather than within the traps as planned, H'Roosh moves quickly to position himself closer to his friends in the trees. He deftly avoids the sharpened stakes and places himself where anyone approaching will have to pass through at least some of them.
He then hurls a Tanglefoot Bag (1d20+4=15) at one of the hounds confronting Zurrik and puts it out of commission.
Gnurl now takes out his Wand of Magic Missile [cl9]and fires three screeching bolts of bright blue force into the hound in B10, and two more into the hound in B11. The missiles pass disturbingly close to H'Roosh's ears on their way to their targets. Neither hound falls.
Radoon manages to cause injury to, but not quite fell his foe.
Balancing in the tree, Zurrik again swings Warlock's Edge with two hands at a hound in front of him, but his blade is fouled in the branches.
One active hound in each tree attacks, but neither manages to get a hit this time.
