Round 1
Ghur's second attack is, unfortunately for the party, as ineffective as his first, which opens up an opportunity for two of the creatures to move in towards Herev, clearly the greatest threat to them, and attack. The tall warrior is able to dodge one blow, but the second catches him deep in his side [11 damage]. Meanwhile, Cellan holds on to his sling bullet too long, and it skitters wildly across the ground, skipping into the water with a light plop; Manakar finds his own attack equally effective.
Zeegra and Zottel hold their actions, waiting for a more opportune moment. Cian's bolt flies wide of the hooved men and barely misses hitting Ghur, while Keita slips forward and plants in front of his master. Herev knocks the head off of one of the two goat-men and then spins to attack the other, but misses as it ducks to the side. Seeing an opening, Cole slides forward, his swords flashing, only to find one missing slightly and the other one deflected with a desperate lunge of the goat-man's dagger. Seeing the party close in around it, the creature's eyes grow wide, and it gets into a defensive crouch.
