Devan is helping the caravan set up when he hears someone start shouting. He stops for a second and listens, then he hears a noise he has heard many times. The sound of an arrow being shot.
"Something is not right" He thinks to himself.
Devan reaches for his bow off his arm. Then looks over to Dunathar.
"Did you hear that?"
He then heads up to where the rest of the group was.
OOC: I am assuming I heard something like combat. If I didn't then I would just keep setting up camp. Also , you can just name my horse.

First Post
OOC: Alan’s horse is now named Striker. Manzanita’s horse is Dasher. Aronai’s horse is Leaf, and Dunathar’s horse is Stupid 
Feel free to make new names if you don’t like these.
-- Surprise Round (cont) --
Aronai pulls out his sling and gets ready to let loose.
Rowyn was about to ask the humans “What’s yours? The centaur?” Seeing them fire their arrows, she rushes over to take cover behind the large well. Sabala hears Rowyn’s call and follows after her. Rowyn begins to sing.
-- Round 1 --
Dunathar, thinking the hobgoblins might have returned, hustles back to his new friends, sticking to the wagons in case he needs to duck in their shadows.
Devan, hearing the arrows, pulls out his bow as he hustles forward to join his fellows.
Manzanita moves over to join Rowyn behind the well. Rowyn and Sabala squeeze together for Manzanita to fit.
Polindun takes off one of his shoulder bags and gives it to Bolandun. “Bolandun, the tribes must receive the scroll! Hurry! I will cover your retreat. You must run now!” Then he draws his bow, standing his ground, facing his attackers.
Bolandun’s expression is tortured as he takes the package, tears welling up in his eyes. “Follow quickly, father,” he says, and runs off. He goes south into the caravan circle, and then east out of it, running along the cliff.
Bert steps bravely forward, placing himself between the humans and the centaur. Polindun is surprised that this little halfling would place himself in such a dangerous spot. Then Bert calls upon the power of Fharlanghn. The air around him coalesces into mists, swirling around him and Polindun, granting concealment. He calls out in Elvish to Polindun, "Now ! Make a run for it !"
Polindun says “It’s no use, brave little halfling, they are faster than me. But your mist will help me buy time for Bolandun to escape.”
The humans, seeing the cloud that Bert had conjured, yell to the rest of the visible party (Aronai, Zanock, Devan, Etherial and Alan) “Curse you! We said it’s ours!” “Come on lads! Finish it off!” They advance sixty feet and, remembering Polindun’s last position, fire their arrows into the mist. Most miss wide, but one hits, and you hear the sound of the centaur falling heavily to the ground. The humans cheer. To the party they say “Don’t touch it, it’s ours! Garik, you stay here with it, the rest of us will go catch the other one!” The humans are now 90 feet away. They are spread out in a line, ten feet apart from each other, with what looks like their leader in the center.
Alan, eager as always for battle, charges in with his shield in one hand and his bastard sword in another. He attacks the nearest rider, who you guess is Garik, with his horse. Striker hits the human with a hoof. The human is knocked unconscious, and falls off his horse onto the ground in a heap.
Etherial, getting over his surprise, moves next to Zanock and casts Positive Energy Reserve on him. Zanock is cured 4 hp, to 11 hp. “Bandits! We must warn the others!”
