Overcast.Banion can't tell the race of the humanoid with the painted face.  As such, he doesn't yet say anything.  Beamer lets fly his magic missiles at Validus, spilling more blood.Validus is clearly weakened, but he stands his ground and concentrates his anger on the mounted warrior in front of him.  Juliana evades his first two swings, but she is then <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271778" target="_blank">hit, hard</a>, by both the axe and the mace (15 dmg).  The axe very <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271782" target="_blank">nearly severs </a> her head, but her strong armor and martial skill protect her.   Nodis steps back and begins summoning a second (fourth) construct, as his weird astral creature appears behind the ogre fighting Razh, and breaks the necks of two orcs.One zombie, still glowing, appears to be blinded.  The other stays close to the man with the painted face.  The skeletons attack the living, cutting down one soldier and one commoner.  The surviving soldier manages to break a bone with his warhammer, but that's it.Torvin Arkenthrasher charges past the commoners into the skeletons, shattering another with his heavy silver mace.  "Lothar, to me!"  he shouts at the maimed man.The ogres continue to fight, despite their damage.  Ogrin easily avoids his clumsy foe, but Rasereit, despite his training, is struck a solid blow to the head with the ogre's greatclub.  (dmg = 14 - IC modifier wrong).  Fortunately, his helmet <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271805" target="_blank">prevents </a> any brain damage.The orcs to the north are mostly blinded.  One, however, pushes through the trees to reach Beamer,though it can't attack yet.  To the south, Hugh survives the orc attacks.  One leaps up on the wagon and strikes down one of Ogrin's boys.  Otherwise, the push forward through the trees.The commoners have mostly lost their nerve.  As the skeletons fall, the men retreat towards Eusebius and Banion for protection.  Of the two boys left in the wagon, one screams and falls into a fetal position.  The other, safely behind Ogrin, lobs another flask, blowing up an orc and showering several others with flaming oil.  Meanwhile the flaming oil consumes the ogre ogrin was fighting.  It collapses in pain and dies.Talbin has moved and is well-hidden in the woods.Character Status in initiative order:Ogrin (38/40 HPs orc count 3.5; used 5 flasks of alchemical fire)Banion (50/50 HPs)Beamer (21/21 HPs, mage armor, protection from evil) Validus (44 dmg)Nodis (31/31 HPs 23/35 PP orc count 11) Skeletons(4)Zombies(2)Soldiers(1) (1/8 HPs; AC 15; warhammer)Sangster (fled)Torvin (?/?
