<LOTR> The Fate of The North

[arador359]

"Call off your hound and drop your bow now or your life will become considerably shorter than it already was," Sirandir says as he stands with his arrow still aimed at the one in armor. He keeps one eye scanning for the actions of the ragged orcish one as well.

As soon as he hears Sirandir, the armor clad figure fires his arrow in the direction of the elf - the shot misses wildly and he draws and nocks another. The ragged figure charges up the hill directly toward Sirandir at the same time.

we are now in combat rounds - 6 seconds and, generally, two actions each round

Lanwi is close enough to the wagon to act now. Those of you already moving down the hill will be able to enage in armed combat next round - ranged combat this round if you have a weapon ready. those at the crest of the hill will take two rounds to reach armed combat range, ranged combat now is possible but the range is extreme.

What are the nest set of actions?

Cursing under his breath, Eidar abandons his failed attempt at secrecy and makes for the base of the hill by the shortest route possible. He will move to intercept the goblin-man that is advancing on Sirandir and will ready his axe and shield.

 

[Mirth]

"Your eyes are as bad as your decisions, I see" Sirandir says as he releases his arrow at the armored one as soon as he sees that one release himself. Then the elf drops to one knee as he knocks and fires on the ragged one charging at him.

Belegon raced down the mountain, intent on engaging the foe in personal combat and aiding his companion.

Strabo sees all the activity around him. "Come Lorin, we must help, if we can. The men and elves should not face this alone."

The hobbit will stay at the crest of the hill and throw the stone in his hand at the ragged figure. Then he will attempt to duck beneath whatever cover is available to avoid return missile fire.

Ethendil rushes down the hill. When he gets within range, he sings out in a clear voice "talailye thonde arda!"

OOC: Ethendil is casting Spellbinding upon the nearest foe. If he reaches the area in time.

 

[Darth Ecks]

"Stay here Master Strabo, they will not make it past me." At that, Lorin charges down the hill to the nearest foe, preparing to swing his axe.

Valangil runs down the hill to engage with Dagorist, leaving all stealth behind he says "come friends the enemy is at hand."

Lanwi grows grim as he lunges at the archer with his spear. "I see murder is on your mind tonight! There is still time to set aside your bow and speak with us!"

 

[arador359]

Lanwi grows grim as he lunges at the archer with his spear. "I see murder is on your mind tonight! There is still time to set aside your bow and speak with us!"

Here is the sequence of events based on everyone's stated actions and each character's initiative

Arador and Valangil race down the slope toward the combat as Sirandir releases his first arrow, shooting the bowman through the throat. Sirandir then nocks and fires a second arrow with blinding speed, hitting the orcish figure in the chest as he charges ever closer to the elf.

Strabo throws his stone, hitting the orcish one squarely in the forehead, then ducks behind a block of stone. Belegon and Eidar rush down the slope behind Arador and Valangil while Ethendil moves down the hill and sings out in a clear voice "talailye thonde arda!"

Lorin rushes along behind the others as he readies his axe. Lanwi hesitates for a second upon seeing Sirandir's arrow strike his foe, but, seeing the bowman stubbornly try to draw his bow, thrusts his spear into a gap in the black armor - striking a mighty blow to his opponent.

The bowman drops his bow and collapses - falling from the wagon. The goblin-man staggers back from the dual hits and falls to his knees. He then appears to be held in some fashion and stays on his kness.
