Round 10 (cont)
The group pauses to discuss, though the discussion is silent and mental. (I suppose the link's still good even though Boog is down. For what its worth, does anyone have any comment on what to do about Boog? A strict interpretation of the rules would have him dead, I think. But since El Jefe was having some legitimate problems getting his posts in, he didn't really have a chance to defend Boog as well as he should have. I'm thinking I'll say he's down at -6 or whatever, but alive and stable at this point.)
South, visible from the torchlight held by the men, the battle continues apace. Mano avoids the armored farmhands, tumbling past them with supernatural speed and grace. He then runs out of sight of the party, evidently pursuing the fleeing orc holding the backpack.
"Get him!" shout the men. One turns to give chase, but the other two brace to defend themselves from the two yellow-bandana-ed men who, having ditched their bows, are bearing down on them with falchions high.
The four men clash. Steel deflects off steel. No one goes down. Yet.
There is no one remaining to give battle the to the party. Juliana regains her focus, and is healed by Eusebius. (healed 5) Beamer and Banion delay
Round 11
The final monk warrior charges into battle to the South. One of the farmhands is cut down by a falchion. The monk moves in and strikes down the other. The third has disapeared down the hallway in pursuit of Mano and the orc.
